AVP fan-wanking time! So Charles Bishop Weyland was Peter's father, before getting a divorce and becoming more distant. After the good android model's/s' death, Weyland Industries stocks fall dramatically. But the company's remains are saved by Peter, who merges them into a brand new company, the Weyland Corp, which turns to focus on more advanced technologies including android replication. BAM!
...sigh...but I like AVP...and even with its flaws, it has to be said that Charles Bishop Weyland was a very cool angle, with a great performance by Henriksen. Oh, well...I'm sure Predxeno will be able to figure it out....
Oh yeah, and very cool TED talk! The larger stage and emphasis on the people/company behind the Talks implies a more impersonal and corporate-dominated future, where companies/individuals have a bigger part to play in the Talks and in promoting themselves in them. I suppose every organization sells out eventually....
And I am really, really excited for this movie.
