I agree. That doesnt really sound all too good for the title, but it still looks like an awesome movie.

I hope they model this after 'Requeim for a Dream' telling the tale of a loner Predator and an alien with dubious morals and a drugged out, increasingly detached Predator mother who watches game shows, finding a tragic Predator-Alien love amidst the dangerous, heady world of narcotics. Marlon Wayans would still play the best friend.

Oh lord, I don't think anyone would lament the loss of Aliens or Predator so, Requiem? Terrible title, not to mention the target audience for this probably doesn't even know the definition of the word. As Alien Vs. Predator disgraced Ridley Scott's Alien, Aliens versus Predator disgraces Cameron's Aliens, you can **** on predator all you want but stop screwing with an excellent franchise.

Also, what the hell is Shareeka Epps (Half Nelson) doing in this? As for Reiko Aylesworth (24), I can see she might not be in high demand but it's sad to see Michelle Dessler stoop this low.

Sounds like they threw 'Requiem' into the title to try to make the movie sound sophisticated and attempt to disconnect it from the trash that was the first movie. I hope the movie is well done, the first one sucked. The title could be pink bunnies vs ugly ducklings, I don't give a damn. Just make a good Aliens vs. Predators movie!

How about a completely new title that doesnt have the words alien or predator in it or at least not in the same way, and was a series reboot so if this movie is good it wouldnt be forever plagued by the atrocity of the first one. It still might be good, but just like the new hulk movie they should just start over instead of trying to create a great trilogy that will forever be marred by a bad start.

As far as ruining the Alien series, you could not get any worse than ressurection. Sadly, AvP was a step up.

I agree with Krellburt, while AvP wasn't cinematic gold...It didn't suck in that extra special way that Alien 4 sucked; franchise was perfectly ruined then. AvP wasn't THAT bad as it did try and pretend to be a part of both of the other films and who didn't like the green predalien at the end? Oh right, nobody. Maybe part two will be awesome! I know all these Alien and Predator movies have always left me wondering, "Gee, all this space-ship and jungle battles...If only these creatures would attack people at the mall!?" If they are REAL clever they will have people in the movie seeing the first AvP and get attacked by Aliens and Predators in the theater! It'll be like turning a live video camera on the TV and lead to the end of time.

It's in the midwest, dude! That's a populated area! The first one took place in antarctica! There'll be infinitely more people for the aliens to impregnate!
All things considered, though, the movie will [b]probably[/b] suck, but I'll reserve judgement until it comes out.

Why do they insist on setting these movies on modern day Earth? It's obvious that the guys making his have never picked up one of the comics or seen the (incredible) AVP2 game, or they would know that it would be a much better idea to put Aliens' space marines on an alien planet populated by Predators. Now THAT'S a movie I'd want to see.

The only "snazzy" new title for AVP2 that would put me at ease would be "Canceled."

I have yet to come to terms with the fact that by turning Alien into a Friday the 13th camp-laden franchise Fox has simultaineously cheapened the original films and forced respectable directors like Scott and Cameron (who were both considering Alien 5) to not want to touch the series with a 20 foot pole.

When I first heard about AVP I was disappointed. When I heard who was to direct it I was heartbroken. When I heard it was to be PG-13... well, you all know the rest.

Thank you, Fox.

At least Alien 4 had some degree of continuity. AVP was bastardized both franchises in order to make a buck. Cross-over movies always blow and they usually get progressively worse. No one seems to recall that Ripley was the only living human being who had ever seen an Alien in "Aliens". Remember, she said that "if just one of those things gets down here"??? Preditor 2 was set in a near-future LA. Mixing these two series is like mixing "Blade Runner" and "Star Trek". They belong in their own repsective universe.

I guess I am th only person that found AVP slightly entertaining ? I mean it was in no way a masterpiece or even a great film for either franchise but i have to admit for about 45 mins i was entertained , seeing an Alien take down a Pred and then watching a bawl ensue was pretty bad a$$

My biggest beef with the movie was so much human interaction and that the humans were involved in most of the plot and became the main character in the movie , BIG MISTAKE as that is when i lost interest. I want a Alien Vs Predator movie , not AVPVH. YOu have to admit most of the Alien/ Predator fight scenes were not half bad and gave you what you wanted to see .

So with the sad news that once again this has turned into a Alien Vs Pred Vs Human movie i am discouraged and a bit le down by the news . The only saving grace in my opinion is the possibility that the Predalien will be in this and look as kool as the sample pic i saw . So we will have to wait and see if we get a AVP copy with some new lights and bells or a full upgrade of the first movie ...

These movie makers are retarded...seriously.....They should have started the movie when Ripley and Winona (don't remember her character name) brought an alien back to Earth (after Alien Reserection) and all hell breaks loose, then couldn't contain the aliens fast enough, so they summoned the Predator aliens to help the humans destroy the bad ones. But noooo..... they have to go with there douche bag script writers to make the freakin movie take place at an Ancient Pyramid....stooopid gay producers and writers.

I imagine it would be pretty difficult to make an AVP movie without human characters to drive the plot. Most people wouldn't enjoy just watching digital monsters fight eachother, and there's no way that Fox would sink the necessary cash into a flick like that.

My beef is that the whole idea cheapens the series. Take an exploitive, campy idea like any "Vs." movie, and tack on one of the worst directors in the business who has no regard or respect for the series. These are all steps to tarnish the legacy of Alien.

I was hoping that AvP would fall into memory since it was pretty much panned, but there will always be a market for those who like the video games and don't have enough understanding to know that watching this garbage and giving those involved your cash is just like pounding another nail into the coffin containing the critical respect of an amazing film series.

Actually Buck, if you had payed attention, in Predator 2, the predator had an alien skull mounted in the ship. And if you were a true fan of the alien series and the predator series, you would know that aliens vs predator is a huge theme in comics and books. They are part of the same universe though you may not know it. It is not a hollywood creation like freddie vs jason.

As for aliens 4, i feel the lept into a completely different universe where aliens were a joke and a half human half alien was the closest they could come to a creative thought. The movie was the worst thing I have ever seen. Ever.

You hit the nail on the head. Its hard to beleive that the exploitive, low-brow, crap that is AVP [and in all likelihood AVP2:Requiem] is the progeny of talented directors like Scott, McTiernan, Cameron, and Fincher.

No one will debate the fact that AvP makes for good comics and cool video games. And yes, of course we all know that we owe it all to that clever guy who said "hey, let's put an Alien skull in the ship!" However, this doesn't make them necessarily part of the same universe. If you want to go that route then Superman and Batman are also part of the same universe since they have had bouts with both creatures. That being said, I don't MIND them in the same universe. I just want it to be done tastefully.

Alien Resurrection was, in my opinion, not needed and an obvious cash-in on a series that ended properly with Fincher's beautiful (albeit flawed) Alien 3. I think that Resurrection could have been a better film had they not hired Jean-Pierre Jeunet to direct.

While I love his other films outside the series, his European charm and whimsical style simply do not mesh with a series that takes itself so seriously. His art direction was cool, as usual, but he completely robbed the aliens of their most terrifying attributes by making them far too present and by asking to audience to take some pretty big leaps as far as plot goes (aliens setting a trap for the swimmers after having only escaped moments ago? The film is littered with these).

While I don't feel that Resurrection is quite the blemish that most people do, I freely admit that Jeunet turning the series into "black comedy," as he has stated himself, was a really bad turn. It's also important to keep in mind that Jeunet didn't WANT to make a big budget horror flick, and was probably also a little disenchanted with the Hollywood machine. I can't help but feel that some of the camp in Resurrection was a result of this. It's just a shame that he had to use the Alien franchise as a vehicle to make his statement.

The next one should surround a group of humans altered specifically to hunt down predators as they become a nuisance during travel throughout the galaxy. it would star Vin Diesel as a futuristic The Rock. Born on the planet Vietnam, The Rock was forced to fight at an early age and was raised by an Alien mother and Predator father, but his rough exteriored yet truly gentle-hearted coach never let him give up on his dream of becoming an exotic dancer. Anyway, he built a home out the giving tree or some sh** like that. Alien, Predator, and The Rock ate a bunch of apples from the tree, then they all died. THE END?

I agree, AVP needs to be in space. According to the original premise in Alien/Aliens the Aliens were never supposed to have been to earth in the present day.

If you are going to have humans in the story, they could do it this way. I don't remember the exact details but Ripley's corporation wanted a captured Alien to develop for military weapons purposes. So lets have them do that out in space or perhaps on Earth but in the meantime the Predators have become a problem with hunting humans on Earth, or hunting humans in deep space operations. So then you take your new "genetically engineered fights for the humans" Alien to the Predators planet and/or some intermediate Predator base to unleash the Aliens on them. But of course everything back fires and Aliens not only go off on the Predators but then turn on the humans etc. You could have the Predators infiltrate the human ship and start killing off humans while the Aliens are ransacking everything.

Then you would have Aliens attacking humans and Predators, Predators attacking humans and Aliens, and the humans attacking Predators and Aliens. That would be fun. The possibilites are endless plus you would preserve the main premise of both movie series which is that both Aliens and Predators are antagonistic to humans.

The only problem I see with having strictly an Aliens and Predators movie with no humans is that leaves the audience with no human to connect to. Part of the success of both franchises is we have a natural emotional response that automatically causes us to root for the human protagonists.

Correction: "real fans" never set foot in a theater that was playing the first AvP because they know the difference between artistic film-making and lowest-common-denominator-money-grubbing. Why would I have given Fox my hard-earned cash to see Paul Anderson nose-dive my favorite (and their best) franchise into the ground while collecting millions of dollars? Please.

I know we all have our doubts about this movie since the last AVP was sort of a joke , but seriously take a look at the trailer , it looks like they may have got this one right , i know it is hard to say that after 2 min trailer , but it seriously looks like they have managed to salvage both the Aliens and the Predators reputation and if i was not mistaken i did see Mr Pred taking on a Pred-Alien ...

For those who dont know - Randy Stradley already wrote a book (Prey) which kind of follows the 1st AVP movie. The sequel takes place where the 1st movie left off... The character played by Sanai Lathan is supposed to go with the Predators, train and become assimilated with the hunter culture- giving the audience a more in depth look at the predators life. Unfortunately, this movie will probally cut and paste some of that story, add some CGI fight scenes and call it a wrap- MY ADVICE read the Stradley versions of ALIENS vrs PREDATORS.

It looks as though the brothers Strause have taken the PG-13 criticism to heart... perhaps a bit too much since the trailer is, more or less, a montage of death. I am willing to bet they took that criticism and ran with it, but did little to help the film's intelligence or plot.

It doesn't take a great director to show thirty people being killed by monsters. It takes a great director to make it MEAN something, and it doesn't look like that's what we have here. It looks to me like a bunch of gratuitous gore and violence for the sake of violence. Paying tribute to the R rated Alien series takes more than upping the death toll. It takes mature film making and artistry, not low-brow bloodbaths.

You can tell me that Aliens , Alien 3 and Alien Resurection were anything more than cash grabs by the studio , were they anything more than excessive blood bath movies that completely strayed away from the origianl vision of Alien and went the route out excessive gore and violence ( For that time in movies) then trying to create intellegent , artistic film with any kind of maning or message ??? ...

Uradik: I will tell you than Aliens, Alien 3, and to a much lesser degree Alien Resurrection were totally cash grabs. However, they were done with integrity as far as the choice of directors go (aside from the questionable decision for AR). Meaning or message? Not necessary in this genre, but neither Aliens nor Alien 3 had gratuitous gore simply for the sake of using more blood.

There was one gory scene in Alien. There was very little gore in Aliens, and even less in Alien 3. Alien Resurrection probably threw down the most blood.

Deneco4: Another shining example of Paul Anderson's complete lack of intelligence when it comes to making films. "Spider webs would be cool! It's ancient, right? Throw 'em on there! God, I'm so friggin' cool."

If they are tampering with the movies traditional tension, and horror, and suspense to get more fans I think they are ruining it...Doesnt AVP, Aliens Or Predators already have true fans? People that follow the comics? People that grew up on Alien and Aliens, Alien 3?!? Or Pred, And Pred 2? Why the hell would they try to make it all watered down and campy? PG 13 anyone? They are also messing with the whole mythology of these creatures...its like saying Terminators can eat, and drink now, and have babies, and pee standing on one leg...pretty soon the aliens are going to be able to speak and wear glasses...and shoes...Its just getting lamer...
