Today marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the release of Alien 3. The third film in the famous franchise, it faced a long and difficult development process for first time director David Fincher. It came out to polarizing reviews, underperformed at the box office, and Fincher later disavowed the film refusing to talk about it. The film does have a cult following and an extended cut restoring many original elements was well received. The film features the talents of Lance Henriksen reprising his role from Aliens as the damaged android Bishop as well as a second Bishop android, though the extended version and some promotional material suggests this was supposed to be the original designer of the Bishop android.
