Guess Who
Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
File this one under GIANT FREAKIN’ RUMOR, but it’s a fun rumor at the very least:
Harry,
It's only a small scoop, but never the less I thought it might cheer you up.... especially after hearing who's going to be directing "Aliens vs Predator".
Two words : Lance Hendricksen, Bishop.
Yep, everyone's favourite android let slip to some associates at a con last week that he's likely to pop up in the new Aliens vs Predator movie. Now if they can only get Sigourney Weaver to cameo as Ripley, we might have an ok movie after.
but alas we will wait..
Ollie.Let’s see if this one pans out, eh?
"Moriarty" out.

+ Expand All
-
I bet you he'll be in this movie, hehehe.
-
That sure is a small scoop. If my scoop was that small I'd keep it hidden away out of public view.
-
Now that would be more like it, even if it does finish in about five minutes.
-
Seriously, I don't see how she could cameo without rewriting the Alien franchise's storyline. She could be briefly mentioned, but they can't overdo this. I'm sure I'd get more excited if I could get Aliens vs. Predator to work on my computer! Arg!
-
If you don't know from my TalkBack I.D that I am a HUGE Lance Hendricksen fan, well you do now. I want my "Millennium" DVD boxed set so bad it hurts, but I'll settle for Lance getting more work. I don't care what it is.
-
Lance Henriksen has nothing to do with this. It actually stars Rat Pack star Joey Bishop. Paul W.S. Anderson is leaping on the musical bandwagon. You'll THRILL to the sight of a Predator singing 'Your Song' and GASP as the Alien Queen undertakes a series of complex dance maneuovres. Joey Bishop brings a bit of class and professionalism to the flick.
-
All for F.P.Jr and any other airhead jocks being slung in a uniform and picked off in various gory ways. Worth the ticket price alone.
Would love to see a Bishop role in this, even a cameo. -
or Aliens versus Wookiees! That's a face-off I'd pay to see!
-
who needs her old ass in another Alien movie? Her last one should have been "Aliens" . That's where HER story should have ended, and another story began. There are lots of possibilities in the Alien universe...but bringing back Bishop is cool!

Will Aliens V.S Predator be a Tables, Ladders, Chairs match?

Spell the guy's name right, willya? What is this, Remedial Geekfest 2002?? =) BTW, if you've never visited Lance's potterymaking site, what are you waiting for?! http://www.bylancehenriksen.com/ You may be artificial, but ya doesn't has ta be stoopid! ;)
-
Hehehe. The neat thing with bringing Bishop into it is that we won't know whether it's the real Bishop or just another android. Still most likely to suck, but at least there's a little ray of hope that it won't.

Just the two characters from the arcade game are all that's
by terry_1978
Dutch Schafer and Linn Kurosawa.....two main human protagonists, either caught in the crossfire, or reluctantly teaming up with the predators.
-
Lance is in it, but he's reprising his role as 'Ace' Hanlon from "The Quick and the Dead". Seems he just loved the facial hair and cool black and silver outfit, and he's been itching for another chance to get to wear 'em. I guess the story takes place on Earth in the old west or something. I don't know. Ask the director.
-
I think the Aliens and Predators should stop fighting and unite against the real enemy....POP STARS!!!!!
-
If by any chance this film does come out ok (i liked event horizon) one thing guarunteed to make it crap would be a cameo or role for Sigourney Weaver. Bishop is a minor character nad as all droids look like him would not be out of place.
Ths could be a good movie but the budget required to have such a large number of Aliens and Predators doing battle makes it almost impossible that studio interference will not rape this movie - PA's reputation as a producer's whore doesnt exactly suggest otherwise either. -
Part of the reason she did Alien: Resurrection is because she thought Aliens vs. Predator was such a stupid idea. sk
-
Personally I think Britney needs a rematch, since her last movie sucked so badly. Sure's certainly buff enough; also, the Predators could do a rap thing while they kill Aliens, which might really catch on, if we put it over a Tex/Mex beat.
Mariachi Alien BAR-B-Q, coming right up. -

I'm gettin` me some pottery. Lance is so cool!!! I can't believe I have never seen this site before. My wife is going to be thrilled.
-
I've got a couple display pieces of Lance's "Screaming Red Ass" collection, and eventually (God and the bank account willing) I intend to purchase a full dinnerware set. One of the most amazing things about the guy, in my book (aside from his performance as Frank Black, TV's best unsung noir hero!), is the way he lives his life -- working in film only when he wants to, and spending the rest of his time with his family and his professional hobby. We should all strive for such a lifestyle! ;)
-
Lance Henricksen has fought the predator before, or at least a prototype.
In the sorely overlooked "Pumpkinhead", the creature used there was built on a walking frame designed for use in Predator, but unusable in the jungle. The Pumpkinhead creature has long cantilevered feet like an animal, and it makes a great, weird creature.
Go out and watch this movie now!
-
It would rule.She could tell
the beasts lame jokes and bore them to death. -
I've played both Aliens vs Predator computer games, and if the movie ends up anything like the games, I'll be more than happy. Not sure I like the sounds of the director though. I'd much rather see David Fincher take another stab at it, but this time with a solid script; I liked Alien3, but it's probably more for Fincher's direction and the film's atmosphere than the storyline.
Entering GeekMode now (hah!): if they do an Aliens vs Predator, I'd like to see at least a few little hints and teasers about the origins of the Alien race, and of the Predator race if at all possible. Most of all I want to see raw carnage, a whole-sale fight of Predators hunting Aliens, with Colonial Marines and other humans (and synthetics)caught in between. Just like the computer games. It could be so awesome!!! Or the director might decide to make it an introspective, philosophical piece as a commentary on humanity's destruction of its own planet and dump the whole thing in the toilet... -
And get Lucy Liu or Ming-Na to play her. Stick to the COMIC BOOK, not the video game. NO other characters from either film franchise should reappear. Get John McTiernan or David Twhoy(sp?) to direct. Alan Silvestri for the score.

The presence of Lance Henriksen does not a good movie make.
by christopher3
Powers that be, hear my plea: no human dialogue, no human armaments, no human colonies, no humans.
-
We should get Peter Jackson to direct this. BISHOP HAS A CAN OF OIL AND CHEETS ON HIS MAINFRAME. Oh yeah, and Sigourney Weaver has a bomb in her ribcage! That is all.
-
...that Lance probably won't even be playing the android Bishop, but rather his creator, Dr. Bishop, who was last seen pleading with Ripley to come back with him to his surgical bay in Alien 3 (an offer which she of course declined). Remember, this film is supposedly about a scientist who lures predators using an alien as bait. If Dr. Bishop is this same scientist, then Lance will prolly have mucho screen time! It'd also be great if this was the first in a series of films that filled in the history of the 200 years between the death of the original Rip and the birth of her clone(s). That way, you could still preserve Sigourney's "pure" Alien film series, while having fun with a bunch of "historical" side-stories. Hope that's the way they're thinkin' !
-
How about a story about two predators assigned to wipe out a nest of Aliens, with side stories about gold artifacts, leaving a body at your friend's house just before his wife comes home, and cheating on a rigged fight. Quentin Tarantino, where are you when we need you?
-
One of my favorite android characters of all time. The fangirl in me hopes this rumor turns out to be true. ^_^
-
A vast army of seven-foot tall alien warriors, armor-clad and armed to the teeth, with vision capabilities in every spectrum of light, and cloaking technology rendering them invisible to the naked eye. . . against Paco, the five-foot, four-inch, 52-year old orange-grove worker from Temecula, California. What he lacks in English, he makes up for in his rapier-like sharpness in battle. Here's MY $8.50, Fox. Sign me up....
-
Apart from me, anyway.... (continued p94)
-
That's AWESOME. I know BTO was originally slated to play the crack force of humans, but now I can see how the Guess Who can take on the role.
-
That wasn't Dr. Bishop in ALIEN 3 -- it was just another Bishop android. When the No. 2 security chief smashes him in the head with the pipe, his ear is torn back from his head and he spits some of the milkish substance, identifying him as a synthetic. We've still never met the illustrious Dr. Bishop himself, have we? In the comics, maybe?
-
will he do that thing with the knife?
-
Little hotty that she is. And yeah, Sigourney may be in her 50's, but she's still a honey. Yum yum. Just wish they'd stop making her nose bleed...
Anyway, regardless of what characters they use, *when* is the film going to take place? it would have to be after Alien 4, right? I mean, there's no contact with the Alien species between 3 & 4, so...
Let's get Vin Diesel in this thing. He can tear the arms off an Alien and say "Did not know who was fucking with!" Cool... Oh wait, I forgot--too many people here hate Vin Diesel. Well fuck you. :) Hey, aren't they making a Pitch Black 2? -

"Two words: Lance Henriksen, Bishop." Um, isn`t that actually
by elgyn6655321
And Ace Hanlon from "The Quick & The Dead" was his best role!
-
...I just watched the end of 3 again and saw no white liquid of any kind. There is some red blood smears on Bishop's face near the spot that 42's pipe flayed his skin. Must be one of those new Cyberdyne models, the ones that run on hemoglobin...
-
This project lacks one of the fundamental elements which defines a story, any story of any genre of any medium; the protagonist.
What is most annoying is that, apparently, all those who created the original Alien/Ripley involvement have taken the Hollywood approach. Yea, Right, What ever, just be sure to
send the check.
I remember the first Predator flick. The (THEN) antagonist, was sitting in a tree, holding up a human skull with only the backbone attached, sort of picking at it like someone
might address the remains of a baked chicken he had just finished for lunch. Is this the new protector of humanity?
As for the android, who cares, it is a machine, it does a job. PERIOD! Seat belts protect people too, but they hardly reach protagonist status.
If Fox wants to convert Sci-fi to Horror, they probably have the right man for the job, from what I remember of The Event Horizon. That is, from what I would like to forget of The
Event Horizon.
And this story line, where some fool hatches an Alien, and it gets out of control; isn -
If Lance Henriksen was in this movie, I'd probably go see it no matter how bad it is. He won't make the movie better, but I'd still like to know how his character would be dealt with.
