OFFICIAL ALIEN VS. PREDATOR THREAD!!!

[SpaceMutt07]

Now, as a new found senior schmoe (*polishes fingers on shirt*) I have found it my responsibility to group all posts about this movie HERE! So here it is, the OFFICIAL ALIEN VS. PREDATOR thread..
Personally I think this movie is gonna be awesome and make bundles of money, of course.

[SpaceMutt07]

Heres a stupid poster I made with photo shop. I was bored.

[Mr. Movie Man]

Nice poster! I wonder if this movie will start out as Alien vs Predator, but then end up as Aliens vs Predators??? Regardless of who's directing, I'm very excited for this movie and I can't wait to see this in a good theater. "hey little alien, want some candy"?

[tuwhitt_]

I'm not a HUGE alien fan but I enjoyed the movies. I thin predator is one of Arnies better action flicks. I'll definately be checking it out in theaters. Does anyone remember that really bad 3d-CGI trailer that was going around a while back? I'll have to find it again if no one has seen it. Its pretty bad, but its made by someone on their own which is pretty cool.

[leatherface66601]

The Story sounds really creative!!!! They must of spent alot of time on it! Now thats what I call real writing talent, YES!

[tvmorbid]

And what story might that be?

[Mr. Movie Man]

This movie better not be any shorter than an hour and fifty minutes. 2 hrs and 15 minutes should be a good running time. I wonder what the budget will be? Anywhere from 90 million and up sounds good to me.

[Hell Phantom]

I think this will be an interesting movie to sit through....I'll prob shit myself when I see the trailer.... :D

[WamphyriNate]

Man have I been waiting for tis for a long time! I'll be checking this out opening night for sure.

[Luke-Abbott]

With Freddy vs. Jason hitting cinemas this year and then Aliens vs. Predator(s) coming out next year...man this is just brilliant. But hopefully, they (Hollywood) won't go overboard on the newly resurrected "Vs." genre.

I loved the comics (or graphic novels), some of them told an interesting story. One of them, being my favourite, was the Predators dropping off Alien Egg's in some random planets and then letting some years pass as the Aliens grow to adult form and then the Predators hunting them down for sport. I'm sure they were used to become like a professional hunter or in some terms: To become a "man" if they could kill the Xenomorpths.

Now, I wished Paul went on with this storyline but not nessicarlly taking place in a Desert Community like the comic did, he could of taken this in a new setting like a futurisic earth or a new planet that remsembles earth in some way. Like a farming planet where they grow fruit and vegetables for the real earth planet. But I don't really like the story Paul is using for this. Humans using Alien Eggs to lure the Predators in Antartica(??!!)

I just hope there is some good out of the storyline, because I've know many movies that have bad storylines but turn out good (sometimes). Let's hope this one does the same, I'm rooting for the Predator :D

[XCoRyX]

as always with good ol' me,im interested in seeing who they get actors wise in this film.

[Hell Phantom]

NEW PICTURES!!!!

the first pic kinda sucks, the alien looks to CGI then again, it will probably still go through alot of touch ups

[countchocula]

I didn't even know that AVP had already gone into production. Nice pics, but they're too glossy. It seems as if the stills themselves are candy-coated. I hope to Satan that Anderson doesn't give this flick a shiny Resident Evil patina. It needs a bit of grunge to it.

[Mr. Movie Man]

Yeah, they look ok, but not great, Are those really the REAL pictures, because something looks off about them. Anyway, can't wait for the movie to come out, and I also didn't know that this movie had gone into production. Questionable pics, but cool nonetheless!

I didn't think they are real... especially the first one, looked really fake

[Luke-Abbott]

Yeah I've seen them a good year back but real pictures or not at least we know this movie is being made. I think Alien vs. Predator will be the only "VS" movie I'm looking forward to after FvJ's release, I could give a damn about Pinhead vs. Michael Myers.

I can't wait till we actually get some real pictures of this baby, it should be cool-as-hell.

[EvilDeadGirl]

Too long have I sat back idly and not stated my two cents on this one........jes' kiddin'.

I don't know if I'm excited about this or not. I'm more afraid than anything as it seems the VS are already taking off. I'm tellin' ya Hollywood is going to go way over the top with the VS movies now that FVJ did great.

Don't get me wrong I definately want to see this jes' hope to whatever god is out there that they don't get too carried away.

Thats a great poster love the tagline.

[countchocula]

A consoling tidbit from Fangoria.com...

The film, written and to be directed by Paul W.S. (RESIDENT EVIL) Anderson, rolls from October 2003-February 2004 in Prague, with an August 4 release date already targeted; because of the short postproduction schedule, the movie will be heavy on animatronics as opposed to CGI.

Rejoice!

[Luke-Abbott]

Some news from Blood-Disgusting about AvP:

click here (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/index.php?Show=570&Template=newsfull)

[Hell Phantom]

hhhhmmmm... sounds interesting

[zZaNuBiZz]

Cinescape reports that the first teaser trailer for ALIEN VS. PREDATOR will be attached to all prints of Fox’s rerelease of Ridley Scott’s original ALIEN—and that the reissue has been moved up two days, going nationwide Wednesday, October 29. Obviously the trailer will contain no footage, as the Paul W.S. Anderson-written/directed film (set for release next August) hasn’t begun shooting yet.

[adamjohnson]

no NEW footage.

[crazycrozie]

ill just keep watching my calander go bye...

[Luke-Abbott]

I hope they add the "Pred-alien" from one of the AvP comics I read ages ago, its an interesting concept to see what would happen if a Face Hugger jumped onto a Predator. The end result is cool and I hope they add it in. Would look great on big-screen.

[CrazyKillah]

For those as psyched as I am about this upcoming vs flick, head on over to BD. They have a scoop about the plot of this puppy and I think it sounds alright, Not magnificent, but pretty decent. There aren't really any major spoliers so don't worry.

[Cronos]

im really looking forward to this, ive really enjoyed all of Andersons films up till now adn this looks just as good

the story sounds pretty kool as well

cant wait for this

[Soulcrusher666]

The game for SNEs was awesome. I loved whoopin' the livin' piss outta them ALIEN fooks. Let's just pray that ALINES vs PREDATOR, doesn't suck a fat dick. Like Alien 3 did. Know what I mean?!

Well, that's all I gotta say. And that's my two cents worth. L8rs all.

[Luke-Abbott]

This past weekend I attended the LA Comic Book Convention. There was a short video presentation on the upcoming Alien vs. Predator, the presentation included a 10-minute short with the director (Paul Anderson) where he were showed storyboards, and tons of production illustrations from the film. The film we were told starts shooting in Prague next week.

Anderson described some of the artwork and hinted at the plot of the film. He told us the film opens 5000 years ago at an Aztec temple... we are told the temples throughout the world were created for the purpose of welcoming "aliens" to earth... and a team of teenaged Predators are at the temple for a "becoming a man" ritual, where if they survive a host of deadly Aliens they will become men, well PREDATORS...

Well everything goes wrong and the three Predators face literally an army of thousands of aliens at the temple and faced with certain death they activate their self-destructs, completely destroying the aliens, the temple and any of the local inhabitants. Guess know we know now what happened to the Aztecs!

Fast forward to the present day as a band of scientists in the Arctic find a very similar temple and are soon caught in the middle of another "ritual" with five young Predators and a bunch of nasty Aliens.

Anderson tells us there is plenty of knock down action, alien & predator deaths to keep everyone happy. He mentioned that he is the biggest Alien & Predator freak in the world, that he's seen them more than anyone and knows everything there is to know about the films. From what we saw (a video montage of clips from all the predator & alien films) this looks to be the best fan favorite team up since Freddy vs. Jason...


Sounds crazy but promising. Thoughts?

[Soulcrusher666]

All's I gotta say is. Seeing as how, Paul Anderson is behind this one. He'd best not fook shit up. Like he did with RE. 'Nuff said! L8rs all.

[Hack]

This movie will be awesome....just like resident evil Mr. Soulcrusher

[countchocula]

Decent plot, but it sounds like the human characters will get lost in the shuffle. But that's to be expected with Anderson at the helm.

[Hack]

Who cares about the human factor. This movie is called aliens vs predators. Bring it on baby.

[countchocula]

Alien, Aliens, and Predator would have been mediocre films without the human factor.

[Soulcrusher666]

countchocula's right, Hack. You need the "human" factor for any movie. They bring more "depth" to the film. And sometimes you even wanna connect with them. However, if this film does really get made. I'm gonna be pounding for the Predator all the way. I like the Aliens, but Predator's got my vote for this movie. But seeing as how Anderson like's to lose the "human" factor in ths shuffle. Like he did with RE. Hack, will obviously love this movie. Even it was only half n' hour long and just Alines vs Predator. Know what I mean?! That's all I have to say. L8rs all.

[Hack]

I love your reasoning with my opinion Mr. Crusher, or should I call you Soul. Anywho, I'm rooting for the Predators too, they are just too kick ass.

[poopontheshoes7]

MAN O, O MAN, O MAN, I cant wait for this im a giddy as a schoolgirl virgin. I know this will kick all time ass, i just know it.

[Hack]

There's supposably a trailer with the Alien directors cut attached to it. Has anyone seen it?

[tvmorbid]

Yeah I read about that, there was an ad in my local newspaper. Apparantly it the ONLY chance to see the trailer (which I doubt very much). Still, I'll see for myself on Sunday :D

[Evan Houston]

Alien vs. Predator is gonna kick major ass!!! I cannot wait for this to come out, but I must say that the story isn't so magnificient. I mean, it is set in present day Antarctica. A better story could have been set in the future, on another planet or maybe a spaceship. Anyways, it looks great, I'll be rooting for the Predator when I see it opening day!!!

[Soulcrusher666]

Naw, I think the "space" premise has been done to death for both of these series. Well, no, I take that back. For Aliens it has been. But not for Predator. After all, Predator's always been set in a "hot" and "humid" try "warzone". Know what I mean?! I wouldn't mine seeing it done in space. But it's been done already. Be kool if maybe a ship crashed on a planet, that housed either the Alines or the Predator. Kind of like in "Pitch Black". And that way, either the Predator has to survive and get the fook off the infested planet. Or the Predator has to waste 'em all, and cleanse the planet that the ship landed on. I hope you all know what I mean. Anyways, as I said before. I won't have HIGH expectations for this film. Cuzz' if it's being done by Anderson. Chances are we're looking at another Event Horizon for Alines n' Predator. 'Nuff said. L8rs all.

[Hack]

This movie is set in the present? I thought it's in the future like 20 yrs or so.

[tvmorbid]

I thought it was set in the same kinda time period as Alien!?

[Shockwave]

I hold little to no hope for this movie. I got a feeling its gonna be a cgi fest with very little scares to it.:(

[Draven2277]

wow....i really have no desire to see this.

[Hack]

Not me! I've been itchin to see some predators in action once again!

[ERIN_LoJ]

From www.scifi.com

Lance Henriksen, who plays a key role in the upcoming Alien vs.
Predator movie, revealed to Fangoria magazine that his character will
have a link with the original Alien movie franchise. In the second
film, James Cameron's Aliens, Henriksen played the android named
Bishop—and his casting in the new movie is no coincidence.

"I don't play Bishop in this movie," Henriksen told the magazine. "I
play the man who created him. He's a billionaire and is responsible
for taking this expedition to Antarctica, where everything takes
place. It's a pretty cool character."

Henriksen plays a character named Weyland, which, as any Alien fan
knows, is one of the names on the nefarious Weyland-Yutani Corp., the
future conglomerate that is behind the trouble in the first three
Alien films. "I can't tell you guys anything else," Henriksen
added. "They made me sign not to tell. The thing is, they keep
sending me new versions of [the script]. It's going to be a very,
very exciting movie. I promise you that. I hope it turns out as good
as Aliens."

In the film, which is set to begin production in Prague, a team of
scientists discovers an ancient pyramid in Antarctica and also find
two heretofore unknown extraterrestrial species. Ultimately, they
find themselves trapped in a war between the two species.

[XCoRyX]

glad to know lance will be doing something unlike the mangler 2 and such now...will be col to see him on the screen again,i for one dig him...and his character seems cool and makes it seem like they put some good thought into this one...

[SonnyVanHelsing]

Not loving this whole biz about ancient human cults that worship the Alien.

Also, does anyone know if the design of the Alien will be any different? I really disliked the design in Alien Resurrection (and that's not even counting the stupid Newborn) and I hope they go back to the original design

[Soulcrusher666]

Yeah, a cult worshiping the Alien. Good gawd, talk about going out on a limb for that one. Anderson sucks balls, and he is si going to fook up this series. So repent now, people. For this is the end. And you can thank Anderson for it! 'Nuff said. L8rs all.

[APzombie]

I have some faith in Anderson, my main concern is the soundtrack. I hope they keep it subtle and chilling instead of mall metal crap (ala Resident Evil).

[tvmorbid]

Originally posted by SonnyVanHelsing

I dunno, at least it's a different take on the series. It's about time we had a different story. The "evil company/military nutcase trying to use the Alien as a weapon" idea was starting to get old IMO

[Dirtmunky]

I didnt think there was an ancient human cult that worshiped the alien, i thought that it was just the predators who built the pyramids to house the alien queen for their coming of age ceremony thing.

[Hack]

I think it's cool that old Lance is playing the same character in Alien 3. Just one question. If he's playing Mr. Weyland than this movie would be set before Alien right?

[Invincible]

Damn, it'd be tight to see HICKS, he was badazz...

Yeah I`m pretty sure you`re right.
Though I think the script goes that the Predators made people build the pyramids etc. for them.
So maybe that`s where this 'human cult' thing came from.

P.S. - Sorry about making three seperate posts, but I don`t know how to put quotes from different people in the same post.:)

[Soulcrusher666]

Exscuse me?! About the only damn thing worthy of the RE title, was indeed the Soundtrack. Manson's tracks for the film were total badass. Now don't get me wrong, I LOVE the trak to Aliens. But knocking the RE Soundtrack is just plain wrong. Yeah, some songs on it, could've been done without. But oh well. As for this film, I think it's gonna suck. I was holding out all hope. That was until I heard Anderson was doing it. This series should've ended with Alien:Reserrection and Predator2. 'Nuff said. L8rs all.

[tvmorbid]

Sorry but I disagree, I have wanted to see a sequal to Predator 2 for ages. I have high hopes for this film (whether they come to be is a different matter) so I'm remaining hopeful :)

[HorrorIsMyGod]

I have never been let down by the alien series, nor the predator series. I have absolutely loved each movie in both series, and feel the same for Alien Vs. Predator.

[Elgyn]

Dude I really loved Manson`s score for "RE", in fact I wish the whole soundtrack was his score (as it should`ve been).
But dude let`s be honest - all those songs on the soundtrack weren`t even in the damn movie! What was the point?

[Invincible]

They do that a lot. Good example: Freddy Vs Jason. TCM.

[Luke-Abbott]

Originally posted by Invincible

Actually, in Freddy vs. Jason there were three songs from the soundtrack in the movie: Track number 3 played when the title "Freddy vs. Jason" was on screen, Track number 20 played when Mark was looking at a pic of him and his brother and Track number 1 played at the end credits.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing Alien vs. Predator very much. I've been wanting to see a Predator movie since part 2, hopefully I won't be let down.

[HorrorIsMyGod]

Just curious, but is 20th century and Paul Anderson using the Peter Briggs Alien vs. Predator script?

[Soulcrusher666]

Dude I really loved Manson`s score for "RE", in fact I wish the whole soundtrack was his score (as it should`ve been). - Elgyn.

Yeah, they do do that alot. I've heard numerous soundtrack's with songs on them. That are not in the movie. I would've loved an entire Manson "scored" track myself. Much like they did with Queen Of The Damned. But they didn't. Oh well. Hopefully, the RE2 one will be alot better and more "in-tune" with the movie. Know what I mean?!

Anyways, as for Aliens vs Predator. I'm not as gung-ho to see this flick as I once was. Besides the fact that Anderson's directing. The plot of them having a society/cult of Humans that worship the Alien. Well, that just doesn't do it for me. 'Nuff said. L8rs all.

[Luke-Abbott]

Originally posted by HorrorIsMyGod

Nope, they're using the one Paul Anderson wrote himself. I wouldn't of minded the Peter Briggs one though but it was more or less, word for word based on the AvP graphic novel (the first one I think). And I read that graphic novel a long time ago :p

[HorrorIsMyGod]

Any ideas where i could get the Paul Anderson script from? For free of course!:D

Just finished reading the Alien vs. Predator script by Briggs. I thought it could have worked for the movie. I also absalutely loved the ending!

Indiana Sev's interview with Paul Anderson is heartening. It's good to hear that he'll at least make the effort to establish his characters before the discord hits. I may have been a tad harsh on the fellow, but in my defense, most of his films have been CGI-happy slabs of mindless entertainment. He hasn't given me many reasons to trust him with a film of this eminence.

And kudos to Sev for the cool AVP coverage thus far!

[slasherfan]

I like Anderson but I don't like the fact he tends to hold off on the gore to much, IE RESIDENT EVIL!!!!

He'd better. I'm still pissed that we haven't been given the DC of Resident Evil or Event Horizon. Plus, I hope that he decides to have a sort of Predalien, like in the AvP PC game.

[Elgyn]

Pic looks pretty damn cool - but then again, Anderson`s movies always look good, that usually isn`t the problem (Resident Evil, Event Horizon).

[Invincible]

AvP will be Anderson's best film, mark my words... I just feel it.

Originally posted by Invincible

Well I certainly HOPE it`s his best film! Because his others haven`t been that great IMO.
"Event Horizon" was slightly above-average with a crappy finale and "Resident Evil" was entertaining and looked great (as did "EH") but had many problems.

[tightywhitey411]

you shouldnt worry about the gory battles in this one because he can make the the aliens and predators die as violently as possible because they are not real or sumthing. its just the human casualties that the mpaa butchers. i remember this because thats why bishop came to such a nasty end in Aliens, cuz he was synthetic and not human so they could gush and squirt as much of that white stuff they wanted. but they couldnt do that w/a human and have all that be red blood.

Understandable...but look at Romero's "Day" series...yeah they were zombies...but they were still human, only dead...there were also some people casualties who had they guts eaten, heads ripped off.. surely MPAA approved all that? why not give Anderson a go at similar violence? it's like MPAA hates him.

Anderson rules, the only reason he's so underrated because of MPAA and their retarded hate for Anderson putting gore on film, which they restrict.

Geez dude, you make it sound like there`s a huge giant Conspiracy against Paul Anderson or something!
Many people don`t like him because they think his movies blow - that`s all there is to it. It`s not like all of Hollywood is against him or something!

And also I`m not sure the MPAA was very lenient with "Day Of the Dead".

[countchocula]

He isn't the only guy that they pick on. He's "underrated" because most people don't salivate over his work (including yours truly). With or without gobs of gore, he just hasn't made a truly memorable film yet.

[countchocula]

What Elgyn said.

[Invincible]

I dont make it sound like a conspiracy, If I wanted to...I would...:D

Nevertheless, Anderson's underrated. He's not a bad director.

No, he's not; he's a bad screenwriter. Perhaps this will be the film where style and substance converge.

I still think Paul rules ass and I own all his movies except SHOPPING

Yeah, but it's only a matter of time when parent groups begin bitching again about horror movies corrupting our children's youth and saying they're the cause of some screwed up kid's murder rampage. When that happens, the old MPAA will be back to piss us off.

Yes, but its odd that some movies are given high gore while the MPAA don't give a fuck while others are cut greatly...look at the MAY poster and HOUSE OF A 1000 CORPSES

I have noticed this as well. The high profile movies seem to get away with alot more then smaller, less profitable movies, and not just in horror. I guess they gotta look like they are doing something.

Hell Phantom - I forgot about the thing with the "May" poster. Good point. That was really fucking stupid of them.

lol, very true, and yes Elgyn, that was FUCKED UP!

Anywho, I just got done watch the Director's cut of ALIEN 3 and I must say wow!

Just in case you guys didn't know, Alien 3 is my favorite Alien movie...hell I would go as far to say my all time favorite movie! So I was very excited...but the point is, enough about Paul Anderson and the MPAA! Let's talk about ALIENS and PREDATORS!

[Invincible]

let's hope Predator will finally get a decent 2-Disc Special Edition release in time for AvP to help the hype.

Looks as though we may FINALLY get our wish, courtesy of the folks from Home Theater Forum (http://www.hometheaterforum.com/), who recently had an online chat with Fox (you can view the transcript of this here (http://www.thedigitalbits.com/articles/011404htfchat.html), courtesy of the great folks at The Digital Bits). Basically, what the jist of the chat entitled was as follows:

- Terror Train may hit DVD this year - around Halloween.


- DellaMorte DellaMore may be this year, or they may license it out to a smaller studio (hopefully Blue Underground).


- Millennium Season One will be out this year. Season Two and Three depend upon sales of Season One.


- The Fly ('86) Special Edition DVD will be released this year.

- Predator SE will hit when Aliens vs Predators is released theatrically.

Now before you go and get all crazy, keep in mind that this stuff is to be taken with a grain of salt. Fox has promised stuff like this before. But hey, we can cross our fingers, and hope that Fox delivers with their Predator SE. Region 2 fans have had the luxury of having their own 2-disc SE of Predator for a number of years, so it's damn well time we got justice.

I just read an interview in Empire Magazine with one of the producers on Alien Vs Predator and he stated they where shooting for a PG-13 rating PLEASE, PLEASE tell me this isn't true!

[countchocula]

I doubt that it will be rated PG-13. AVP is bound to be a bloodbath.

I agree. This is AvP were talking about here, not Scooby Doo!:p

[Elgyn]

All the previous "Alien" and "Predator" movies were rated R.
"Freddy Vs. Jason" was rated R and did just fine.
Why would the "AvP" makers try for PG-13?

oh..oh..oh *raises hand* I know..I know! Peanut Butter? Wait...what was the question again?

The answer simply put is.... IF THEIR SMART THEY'LL KEEP IT AN R-RATED MOVIE! :mad:

[fevers]

If done well, this could be really cool. I watched the preview clips with Anderson detailing what he wants to do, but I dunno if I can trust he can do a good job. He did really screw up Resident Evil.


We will have to see.

[EVILxxx]

Here's an interview with Paul Anderson from Dark Horizons that talks about the fight sequences, lack of CGI in the film, and orchestra oriented score.


Question: So what's giving you the most trouble in post-production right now?

Anderson: In post? I wouldn't say that any scene is a trouble scene because it doesn't work or anything like that. This is a movie that had a phenomenal amount of thought put into it before we started making it, specifically with how we were going to do the Alien and Predator combat aspects. I did not want to rely on fully CG Aliens and Predators wailing on each other, because I don't think that would have looked very good ... I mean you could have spent years and Jurassic Park money on it and it would never have looked as good as the real thing. So that's why we specifically shot as much practical as we possibly could. What that meant was we had to spend a huge amount of time shooting the fights. If you do it all CG, you shoot a bunch of plates and then you do it post-production on a computer.

We went a much more difficult route of practicality, like for example in the first Alien/Predator fight, where an Alien and a Predator go head-to-head, we spent two months shooting it. They're in kind of like a chamber which they literally tear apart as they fight. We had to have practical walls that would break, columns that would collapse, floors that would break. When the Alien's tail snaps into things, those things have to break, and so on and so forth. We did everything, as much as possible, practically. During the shoot that was problematic because it just meant it was a huge amount of time to shoot it. In post, if anything is the most difficult thing it seems like you've got [find a way] for two months worth of material to fit, hopefully, the most amazing head-to-head fight scene ever seen. You shrink down two months' worth of material into an amazing three or four minutes.

It's just the sheer volume of material that you're working with. But then the exciting thing is you have it, you see it, you see an Alien flung and smacking into a pillar or whatever, you get it. Combing through the material and getting the best of the best to put in the movie is incredibly time consuming, and that's why we're working until midnight every night.

Question: What's the score going to be like?

Anderson: It's going to be primarily orchestral, there won't be any source music in there. It'll be an orchestral score probably with a kind of a synth bed in some scenes. But it's very much along the line of the traditional scores that the Alien and Predator movies have had. It's not like we're going to cover the movie in techno music or anything like that. You know, this is a terrifying movie and it needs a terrifying, classic movie score to go with it; at the same time it's got huge action so it needs that kind of proper orchestral support.

Also, one of things that Harald came to do is to work with a lot of high and low frequency noises as well. One of the things he likes to do (because he's done a lot of experimental stuff as well, which you won't find reflected in Roland's movie) is where he samples machinery and animal noises, things like that, and then works those natural and unnatural sounds into music. The idea is that what we'll get is something very, very unsettling.

Question: Can we expect much one-on-one action?

Anderson: I know for a fact that we've put some amazing Alien and Predator action on film. I don't have to finish cutting the movie to know that, I mean these creatures look the best they've looked and when they go head-to-head, it's like two alien creatures going head-to-head, it looks real, it looks ferocious, it's fast, it's frenzied, it's scary as hell. It's very impactful as well, I mean it's huge! People are going to leave the theaters I think pretty wrung out.

There was one set where we were filming the first Alien/Predator fight. When we started, the room was made out of all this black stone, it's very cool looking. About halfway through the shoot I was standing with my DP. We were looking at the shot, and we're going, 'There's something wrong, it doesn't look right.' What we realized was that the whole set had changed color because we'd been smashing up so much of it that just the dust from all the rock that had been exploding and breaking had impregnated the entire set! It turned it kind of brown, rather than black. It had become a big problem for us and we had to have the whole thing cleaned because we literally had been causing so much devastation that the whole color had changed. (thanks to DarkHorizons.com)

[EVILxxx]

Ok I don't know if this has been posted on this thread yet or not but I just discovered a HUGE plot hole in the storyline. Anderson said this movie is a sequel to predator and a prequel to Alien. So by that rationale this movie takes place atleast 57 years earlier from Alien3(the length of time Riply was in hyper sleep from Alien to Aliens) although it is likely that it is more than 57 years. Lance Henrikson plays Charles Bishop Weyland who is also the model for the bishop android. Now if his character appears in Alien 3 then he's got to be atleast 80 or something. I can't believe this was overlooked.

Very good point Evil, it does seem very strange. Could it be that the Charles Bishop Weyland in this film is a android or a clone or something? Maybe the real guy is in stasis for reason or another?

[EVILxxx]

Could be. But if it is a clone or android (maybe the same one from the second one) I think it would be a cop out. His character being in the film would feel totally pointless to me, other than the fact that I am a huge Lance Henrikson fan. Then again maybe that will be the surprise ending or something. But his character is supposed to be dying in this one so only time will tell.

In that case if the guy is dying, maybe at the end of the film he gets put into stasis until they find a cure for him. Or maybe the Predators give him a cure. Spose we wont know til we see the film and even then they may not have covered it. Meh

[EVILxxx]

That is a possiblity. In any case I hope that Anderson understands the time frame of the Alien movies and realizes the length of time between this movie and Alien3.

[syxxpac]

Any predictions for how this movie's gonna end? I shall partake in a little self-indulgence and share mine:

First, the remaining human characters (probably 2 to 3 of them - Sanaa Lathan's survival is mandatory, though) will be limping toward salvation ie. a getaway vehicle, only to encounter the big, badass main Alien. When all seems hopeless for them, the main Predator will then appear and take on the Alien in a battle to the death, allowing the human characters to escape. The main Alien will skewer the main Predator with his tail or critically injure the Pred by some other means. Before dying the Pred will activate his self-destruct sequence and the Alien won't have time to relish its victory before it's blown to shit.

THE END?

I can see that happening. It would also solve the problem of the Aliens being on Earth, since the self destruct would destroy any evidence (Predator 2 said that the blast could take out 3 city blocks I believe).

That would suck major balls if the film turns out like that. It's such an easy option, it's SO what everyone will be expecting. Something original would be nice but I'm not holding my breath for it. Meh

[Shockwave]

I think that actualy sounds like a pretty awesome way to end it.

Yeah its predictable, but then again the whole friggin movie is bound to be! This isnt going to be a "deep" film by any stretch!

[Moosem216]

Yeah, I definitely think it's going to end with both them killing each other off, or at least one winning only to finally be defeated by us. I don't really see them having one actually win. Sucks, but it's what I expect.

And this might be the wrong thread, but dear god I hope the pg13 rumors are false.

[matchax]

I just hope Mr. Anderson won't screw this one up. Ok The alien and Predator looks cool. But hwo is supose tu be the "Heroine". Why did he pick her...Ok Lance and Peter are great cast the rest I couldn't care less.
Mr. Anderson didn't use the word Zombie in Resident Evil..here I think he won't use the term Alien...

But I still prey that he will redeem himself with this movie.


See yaaaa !!!

The character Weyland in A vs P is the ancestor of the character Weyland in Alien 3. A vs P is not set far into the future. Lance mentioned it in an interview.

Really? Ok, but then there is something else. I thought Anderson said he was the creator of the Bishop Android or atleast the model for it, but I'm probably mistaken.

[ANTBond007]

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

A friend of mine has read Anderson's first draft of the script and mentioned the ending. I won't spoil it here, but unless he changes it, this is going to create a major continuity error with the rest of the Alien franchise, as this takes place before the original film.

[Elgyn]

Originally posted by EVILxxx

No, I`m pretty sure he DID say that.
Either that, or maybe it was Lance Henriksen who said it.

[EVILxxx]

Ok I have Fangoria #232 in front of me and this is what it says " Henrikson's presence is no coincidence and neither is his name: It's Anderson's way of linking AVP to the Alien franchise. Weyland is a billionare industrialist and one half of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, the infamous company that has been pursuing an an Alien since Ian Holm was prepared to sacrifice the crew of the Nostromo in Scott's original. He's also the physical model for Bishop, the Android Henrikson played in Aliens and Alien3. 'He has made money in shipping, robotics, he's got a giant megacorporation and the thing is, he's dying."

So he is the model for Bishop. However in Alien3 Henrikson's character says he designed it not necessarily after himself though.

[C-Desecration-]

First off, that is a spoiler. It doesn't take a genius to figure out what you're getting at. So I'd add a warning.
And since I'm going to comment on that, this will contain SPOILERS as well for AVP:
If the Aliens' lose that doesn't create a continuity error. Just as an example, let's say the alien homeworld is blown up or something. Again, no continuity error. All the aliens in the series were aboard ships and whatnot, thus could've survived there or in other areas. Sure the humans always assumed they came from some homeworld, but they could be wrong.
The point is, these are races. There would ALWAYS be a way for a number of aliens to survive, seeing as how this only takes place in some tomb and whatnot.

I didn't consider it as such, but I'll add the warning, as you're probably right.

[tightywhitey411]

sorry if anyone has asked this yet but does the queen alien make an appearance in AVP? that would be fun to see the queen going mano a mano with a predator! it wouldnt suprise me if anderson put her in AVP, but what would suprise me is if he created a KING ALIEN!! that would be a pleasant suprise for me :D

Since she does in the the AVP comics, including a one on one fight with a pred, I would presume so. There is no King alien in the AVP comics. I dont think that there is one in any of the various Aliens comic book series.

However, one of them did show a royal gaurd version. They were just a souped version of the regular warriors. About the size of a predator and their skin was more green than the useual aliens and their heads were a little more angled. They always stayed near he queen.

Just did a little more googling and found out that there was an Alien king action figure back in the mid 90's. It is not anything to look at.

Another one minus stupid paint job.

http://www.toyarchive.com/Aliens/Toys/KingAlienRepaintLoose1a.jpg

If one was woundering what the function of a king would be in the hive then judging from the action figures I would guess it would be improve TV reception in there.

OK they made a lot of bad aliens toys back then.

But seriously what function would a king serve that is not already served by the other aliens?

i have that toy and i must admit that is where i got the idea from :D . i have the silver one. i didnt say it would be a good idea but that would just be a suprising move to me if anderson tried to extend the alien family. the king might not have a function besides the last line of defense for the queen, and it would make for an interesting battle for a predator.

The only way I can see there being a continuity error is if the Aliens win overall and take over the Earth ans seeing as that would be a very MAJOR continuity error I cant see it happening.

A VS movie has to have a poster with each combatant on either end.
So it is written, so it shall come to pass.

So it is written, so it shall be! :D Here's a simple 800x600 wallpaper I slapped together. Enjoy!

I'm not sure, I guess I was kinda expecting something better for the final poster, maybe like taking the faces from the "teasers" and combining them together. Ah well, for what it is it looks okay, I'll still be seeing the film good poster or not.

[EVILxxx]

Hey is it just me or does the Alien in that picture strongly resemble the first Alien? I know you can't really see a whole lot of it but it kinda does.

It is indeed bad as far as creativity goes. I wonder if the execs think that if both creatures aren't facing each other on the poster people won't know what the movies about.

That would be cool, I wouldnt mind seeing an Alien 5, but then I wouldnt mind seeing a Predator 3 either, I'm not fussed who wins AvsP cuz I love both species, but I still reckon theres gonna be a cop out ending

[Mr. Movie Man]

I'm not liking the look of this one too much. Like others have said before me, it's too clean looking, too bright(even when it's dark), too plastic like, and not down and dirty gritty that we got from Scott and Cameron. It has Anderson's staple look to it.

[raphroehler2004]

Did anybody watch the preshow for the MTV Movie Awards. I'm asking because they just showed some brand spanking footage from the film and I must just say WOW.
This film is gonna just rock. Seems they really did use less CGI and more realness.
The action scenes are gonna be awesome (one scene had a bunch of predators battling thousands of aliens as they climbed a pyramid type structure, think the ending of The ONE with Jet Li if ya seen that).

Plus, they also showed brand new scene from Blade: Trinity.

Blade 3 looked pretty cool, but AVP looks fantastic.

Yeah, i gota admit it did look pretty fantastic.

Im trying not to get to pumped about it however because Resident Evil looked fantastic also before it came out and the end result ended up being that i enjoyed the trailers for it more then the movie itself.

WAS LOOKIN FOWARD TO A NEW PREDATOR MOVIE,NOT NEARLY ENOUGH OF THEM, THROW IN A FEW ALIENS, TERRIFIC
GET P. ANDERSON IN TO DIRECT A MASTER STROKE... HEY HANG ON JUST A MINUTE!!!!

SEEN THE TRAILERS(LOOKING GOOD) BUT JUST CANT HOLD BACK THAT FEELING OF DREAD.

This is going to be better than i thought , way freagin cool .

[Prime Suspect]

After seeing that awesome, kick-ass trailer for AvP, I have to say that people need to lay off of P.A. I know that I wont be able to really judge the movie until I actually see it, but that clip alone looks like he did one hell of a job a creating an awesome movie.
Also, I for one, loved Event Horizon and Resident Evil and happen to think that the guy has gotten a bad-rap from people who don't appreciate his films. I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

But you can't even bullshit me and say that the clip for AvP didn't get you wet in the pants.....

On a side note....I was pretty un-impressed by the clip for Blade:Trinity. Which sucks because I am really looking forward to this. Oh well, I'm just gonna have to go into this movie blind.


Later

[Anthony4sho]

He needs to get rid of the shit rock music, and put some music in their that can tie in to the atmosphere. I don't want ot hear some heavy metal band playing garbage while they are getting chased by Predator's or Aliens. Other than that, looks great.

[countchocula]

Kickass trailer! I'm pretty much convinced that there won't be any character development, but I don't care as much as I used to. Anthony, I doubt that there will be much nu-metal on the actual soundtrack. Just about every horror/action trailer uses "cool" music to its advantage, but it rarely winds up in the film itself.

[Kidsilk]

That trailer was sweet. I really starting to look forward to this movie.

Paul Anderson, in my opinion is a very talented individual. And I would disagree that just because this movie may appear "polished" that it has his "staple on it". Let's not forget Event Horizon, plus I saw a music video he directed a while ago from the group Twiztid and it is a pretty fucked up intense video(Let's just say you won't see it on MTV) Resident Evil had a polished look because that is what the producers wanted. This is obvious because they were first gonna have Romero do it (who would have no doubt made it dark and scary), then hired someone else. Relax, AVP is in good hands.

None taken. However I don't see how a person doing another artist's music video makes him a fan of the band.
Besides it could have been worse, he could have been responsible for the "My Band" abomination.;)

Kick ass Trailer!

-TRAILER SPOILERS?-:rolleyes:






Am I seeing things or did It was an Alien Queen in there?

[XCoRyX]

wow, that trailer was kickass as kickass can get... I am SO checking this bad boy out...

[dellamorte dellamore]

This has hit written all over it , it's a great idea to put these two creatures in the same film , and it looks as if this won't be some lazy cash in effort , but a terrific sci fi / action film . This should be the film that changes people's perception of P Anderson .


Yeah , with the exception of the amazing Colin Salmon ( One in Res Evil ) , the characters will prob take a back seat to the Alien and Predator chaos , but you won't find me complaining , they are the definitive stars , and it's the main reason i want to see it , the less " characters " the better , they will only slow things down anyway .

My prediction , the Predators have the obvious advantage , they have the weapons , intelligence , and vehicles at their disposal , don't see how they couldn't wipe out a bunch of Aliens . Not too mention their heat seeking devices , and the ability to blend into their surroundings .

Man , what an end to the " summer " movie season , it's going out with a serious bang .

[EVILxxx]

I was very pleased with the article that was in the 25th aniversary of Fango. Anderson made it very clear that CGI will only be used sparingly. He said he is going to make "the most expensive man-in-a-suit movie ever made."
Also Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis are in charge of the creature effects. These guys are two of the second longest veterens of the Alien's Franchise right behind Sigourney Weaver. Plus Tom is always the guy in the suit, so it is comforting knowing that the most able bodied person to potray the Alien is working on the film.

[Elgyn]

I must say, it DOES seem that Anderson is taking the critisisms from his detractors seriously, and is genuinely trying NOT to piss-off the fanbase. For that, he gains a few 'respect points' from me.:cool:

I thought I heard something about it being rated R. I hope it is; I'll cry if it's PG-13. :(

[slasherfan]

So would I. What moron would make an Alien/Predator movie with a PG-13 rating.

[EVILxxx]

Ya know I wouldn't be surprised if this was PG13. Anderson said there isn't gonna be that much gore human wise. I don't think to Alien creatures ripping each other apart would warrant an R rating.

[dellamorte dellamore]

I'm not worried , i just want to see some action ,if the gore is not to intense , i'm not complaining .

[Shockwave]

Considering that NONE of the Aleins or Preditor movies have been rated PG-13, this seems like a sure fire R.

I want to see blood and gore! Freddy vrs Jason proved that the fans will show up for this if it is done right!

Many of my favorite horror movies are PG-13 becuase it forces them to think creative but this is NOT the movie for it. Aleins vrs Preditor PG-13 = toned down kiddie shit for me. I want more then blazing guns and bloodless stabs to the chest.

..but like i said, this is going to be an R for sure. Even Resident-Evil was rated R.

[Elgyn]

Guys. Seriously. This movie WILL NOT be rated PG-13.

It will be rated R.

[slasherfan]

I hope not, if I it I'll lose all respect for Paul Anderson.

[countchocula]

Anderson stated in an interview that he wasn't aiming for any particular rating. Everyone involved with the production is assuming that AVP will be tagged with an R rating.

[slasherfan]

I hope it's R, it ain't a Predator movie if you don't have skinned bodies hanging from the roof.

New trailer.

[Shockwave]

Anderson stated in an interview that he wasn't aiming for any particular rating.

That is exactly what most fans did NOT want to hear.

AArgggg!!!! That gives me some mighty big doubts about it being rated R. Dammit man, always go for the throat when making a movie about two of the most violent monsters in cimena history!

[dellamorte dellamore]

I think what PA meant to say was that freak it , no matter what type of visual content the film posseses , with a bunch of Aliens and Predators running around , and the fact that i'm a disrespected by the MPAA director , it's going to get an R rating anyway , no reason to try and specifically aim for an R , it's a waste of time and energy to do so . Res Evil wasn't half as violent as some other films that were released around the same time , and it received an R , why fret over it at this point ?




Hey , i wish people would stop getting all worked up into a tizzy , he's going to deliver the goods , action wise and gorewise , no way will he let people down with these two franchises coming together .

[countchocula]

Yeah, there's nothing to worry about. Why aim for a certain rating when you already know that you'll be releasing an R-rated film? A rating doesn't amount to much anyway. Darkness Falls, House of the Dead, The Order...all "restricted."

The second trailer is cool beans. With the exception of Lance Henriksen, the acting looks painful, though.

[dellamorte dellamore]

This film just keeps looking better .

Darkness Falls was horribly cut for a PG-13 rating.

That along with the fact that everyone of those movies id give less then a 4/10.

But yeah, Darkness Falls was horribly cut, the plot and lead villian even changed, to make the PG-13 rating.

A rating DOES indeed amount to much in these type of movies though. To me, u would have to try DAMN hard not to get an R rating on an Aliens or Preditor movie. From the aliens bleeding acid, the chest-bursters, The Preditors skinning thier victems and polishing thier bones for trophies, blowing people apart, ect, ect, i would consider a PG-13 allmost impossible to get without trying for it all along.

Thats why im almost positive itll get an R.

But if they're aiming for A PG-13 rating they'll probably trim or cut all these goodies out altogether to make a watered down movie.

Oh hogwash. Dealing with this premise, there's no need for Predators skinning humans. I mean, they're in the middle of hunting aliens! They wouldn't take the time to make any man-trophies, I don't think. As for the chestbursters, what if, for once, nobody gets impregnated? So there goes that scene.
People getting blown apart? Sure, could happen. But again, the predators are more interested in the aliens, I think. Though I guess it's a good chance of people getting blown up (but that could be shown off-screen).

If Aliens didn't have that chestburster scene in the hive? It'd have been PG-13.

No way, it would`ve still been rated R!

[Dirtmunky]

*Spoilers* sort of...







Doesnt the new trailer give away the ending? At the end of the trailer you see the pyramid blowing up with a big shockwave, so now we know that a pred self destructs, I know this was an obvious choice for an ending anyway, but Id still rather not see it before seeing the film.

Or does this just prove that this wont be the ending, because theyre showing it to us in the trailer?

I haven't seen the movie in years and years, but wasn' that the only gory scene, really? Oh sure, there's alien acid melting people's skin, but those scenes were shown with such restraint I doubt they'd be considered 'R'. The rest of the movie was just machine guns firing. Very violent, but 'very violent' is PG-13.
Oh wait . . . was there nudity? If there was nudity then of course it would be 'R'. God, the human body is disgusting, isn't it? :rolleyes: It's like society doesn't-

*stops rant*

Whew. That was a close one.

[countchocula]

C-Des, you're forgetting about Bishop's grisly demise. There's also the high level of profanity, which would warrant an R rating on its own. Most of the deaths are off-screen and there's no nudity to speak of, but even if the "chestburster" scene had been precluded, Aliens still would have been slapped with an R.

[Elgyn]

Oh don`t worry, I know exactly what you mean.
Graphic violence is acceptable.......
......but NUDITY???
Don`t expose the children to THAT filth!:D :D :D


BUT.....back on topic........dude I really think you need to see it again (and hey, why not, it`s a great movie).
Like count said, the profanity alone (including frequent uses of the "f bomb") would`ve given it an R.

[Gravedigger]

Looking forward to this long in-development film, I'm excepting at least to be entertained and some kickass action and gore.

[HorrorIsMyGod]

You know, this movie keeps doing something for me. Maybe cause I'm a huge fan, maybe for some other reason. Everytime a trailer comes out or someone gives word about it, I feel all butterfly-ish inside. Kind of like seeing boobs for the first time all over again. :D

The first time I saw boobs was when my babysiter was breast feeding her baby right beside of me, and I didn't even realize it for about 2 minutes. That was awkward.

Anyway I can't wait for this picture. I'm glad Anderson is going down the road less traveled with the minimal use of CGI.

I totally agree. CGI may be the coming of age, but damn they really should spend more time on making it more realistic before sticking it in a movie!

SPOILERS FROM THE NEW TRAILER

Holy crap did youy see the predator's new wrist claw?!?!?

It slinged out normally like it usually does, then he gripped his hands tighter and it came out further, making it more than twice as long! It was the size of the guys hand. Thats a bold move well played P.A.

[the dead one]

I am 50/50 on this flick...as much as I like Predator and the Aliens,
this thing has been talked about for an awful long time...granted Darkhorse Comics did some very intersting adaptions of this epic battle of Aliens and Predator!

If they did a follow up to Sandy Collora's 7 minute short
"Batman Dead End" I would get behind that in a heartbeat!:D

For those who dont know what the hell I am talking about,
There is a fantastic film which features Batman v.s. Aliens v.s. Predator!
It is AWSOME!!!:cool:

Err, I'll beat the dead horse again.

Cinematic violence isn't "real" It's a simulated reality, and for the most part in PG-13 movies it's poorly simulated reality. Ok, hollywood likes to call this "highly stylized reality."

So, comparing the act of somebody throwing a punch, or shooting guns that don't obey the laws of physics to real nudity is comparing apples to oranges.

If, in action movies, "method actors" really beat the hell out of each other to an inch of their lives, then that comparison would be more fair.

[raphroehler2004]

At bloody-disgusting they got a new featurette on A VS. P from IFilm. It deals more with the sets, etc. But the film in my opinion looks like it will be really cool. Can't wait to see it.

Interesting. I've never heard that before. But I don't really agree with it. Let's compare CGI nudity (this is all hypothetical, I've never seen CGI nudity before, so use your imagination . . .), then, 'simulated' nudity. Say a pair of CGI breasts, vagina, and penis are thrown on the screen, but they're really cartoonish and whatnot - like, say, as much as CGI violence is exagerrated/poorly done - but regardless that sort of thing would be avoided in favor of explosions and gunfights for a "kids" movie.
Or let's say simulated sex, where the actors don't really have sex. Say in those shots the director manages to keep any nudity out. That would still be considered worse to show the children than explosions and bam-bam shootouts where the heroes waste hundreds of bad guys on a single clip.

And just to keep on topic, I loved the newst avsp trailer, the one with the score instead of the rock. I hope this movie is as great as it could be.

People would get offened because it was not offensive enough. :D

I forgot about that game. Before there was Doom to freak out people over content there was Custard's Revenge .

Before and Grand theft Auto there was Fire Bug were you could let loose with your mad arson skills.

I am getting weepy with all this talk of three of my favorite things from childhood. The Predator, Aliens, and the Atari 2600. I still have one at my parents place, along with my Predator and Aliens posters.

Try to imagine AvP on a 2600. Oh that reminds me wasn't the Atari Jaguare (sp?) (their 64bit console) the first to do an AvP game?

[dellamorte dellamore]

This is for the vidgame section , but i just have to say , if you want to get offended , or you just want a laugh , there were a couple of x rated Atari 2600 and C 64 titles that did that . Freakin shocking at the time , but now pretty harmless , true classics .

Oh yeah , can't wait for A vs Predator , it's shaping up nicely .

[slasherfan]

ah F-U-C-K!!!!
http://www.planetavp.com/



"The AvP movie is definitely going to be rated 'PG-13,' according to a source inside 20th Century Fox. It's been planned this way since the very beginning.

This, along with rumors and even a magazine statement from a Fox Producer saying the movie is going for a lower rating, makes 'PG-13' very likely. It's not complete, foolproof evidence yet - he could be leaking us wrong information - but it's making 'R' looking less and less likely.

[syxxpac]

Fucking hell.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Why can't they at least release an uncut version in selected theaters at the same time as the general release . Then if that version makes some decent money , release it wide . I'm sure no matter , eventually you'll get an R Rated version on the DVD .

[countchocula]

A PG-13 rating is highly unlikely. I'm filing this under "bullshit" for the time being.

[Shockwave]

Just the fact that they have been sooo quit about what the rating for this would be has always made me beleive they were coping out for a cheap PG-13 rating from the start.

I hope im wrong, i really do.:( I want some insane R rated Predator action!

That's how I've felt. I mean it's out in under a month you'd think they'd have a rating for it now, hell Resident Evil 2 has a rating already.
It's like Riddick, wasn't rated for ages then BAM! PG-13!!

Also pretty much all these toned down PG-13 movies have been bombing this summer.

[Shockwave]

Yeah, i dont think they understand that a R rating can HELP a movie if its what the fans want.

Freddy vrs Jason wouldnt have made jack SHIT at the box office if they had made it PG-13. Itll be the same with this if they cop out.

So much repeat business was from the sense that it went all out, balls to the wall! It took what was known from both series and cranked it up a notch, something i feel might be missing here.

I just dont want to see bright explosions with bloodless bodies being tossed around like dolls, and off-screen deaths to hide gore! I want to feel like they made this movie with a sense of passion and pride dammit! I want to see Predators skinning people! Alien chestbursters in action! Massive swearing and sweet, sweet brutality from the two most vicious races the world has ever known!

U dont take two of the coolest characters on screen and put them together to water them down! Every Aliens and Predator movie has been rated R for a damn good reason.

Both series deserve better then this if its true.

..but the Q remains, if it is a R rating why are they being so damn shy about the rating of the movie??? Dont they know that it sure as hell isnt helping that they remain silent? Seems like shitty marketing or a studio effort to make it PG-13 that didnt plan out.

[SpacePuppet]

Yeah, i've heard rumors about alien vs predator rated PG-13, they said it was gonna be like a Alien or Predator movie, now they were both rated R when they were released, but that was 17 and 25 years ago, and today an R rating means a lot more than it did in 1979 and 1987.

Somehow I think blowing off someone's arm and brains out with a laser, ripping some guy's spine out and munching on some guy's brain doesn't quite qualify for a PG-13 movie. Face it, if this turns out to be PG-13, it's Pretty Gay for people with IQs over 13.

[Terror Australis]

Being a huge fan of both the "Alien" and "Predator" films I can't wait to see these two sci-fi horror icons fight it out. Since "Freddy Vs. Jason" (4.5/5) blew me away when I saw it, I think it will be the same with this film. As for the film getting a "PG-13" in the U.S., it ain't gonna happen.

The film will be released in Australia in September, Can't wait.

If any of the "Alien" or "Predator" movies were released today, they`d STILL get an 'R' rating. Particularly the "Predator" movies.

[dellamorte dellamore]

P Anderson is directing , it automatically gets an R ( save for Mortal Kombat ) . If PJ did it it would automatically get a PG 13 for " stylized " violence .

Hey , PA is like the R rated guy from Swingers , he just has that aura about him . Even if he made Finding Nemo , i bet the R rating would be in effect .

[SpacePuppet]

Well, I guess you're right about "Alien" and "Predator" movies still being rated "R", but that rumor about "Alien VS Predator" is getting bigger, and bigger...

[syxxpac]

The one movie that by all rights SHOULD have got the R, not the way it is but the way it should've been.

Not his fault though. Damn studios and their need to target idiot teenagers and kids (and back in '95 I'd include myself in that demographic...)

[Elgyn]

I remember when the "TCM" remake was going to be PG-13.
I remember people saying "Freddy VS. Jason" was going to be PG-13.
Hell, I remember people claiming they heard "Halloween 8" was gonna be PG-13.

These PG-13 rumors have gone along with almost every big horror release lately. I`m surprised someone hasn`t already said they heard "Seed Of Chucky" is going to be PG-13.

[Shockwave]

I`m surprised someone hasn`t already said they heard "Seed Of Chucky" is going to be PG-13.

Ive just heard that "Seed of Chucky will indeed be PG-13!

Let the debate begin!;)

[slasherfan]

It just keeps going back and forwards! I wish the offical site would just put up the rating already!

http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/moviearticle.php?artID=531

With the recent news that I ran saying that AVP was projected to get a PG-13 rating, I have been flooded with requests for more information. Some requests have been flaming citing E! as saying the film was going to gain an R rating and that they have announced it. In response I wrote to the head of the local Fox PR office, and the outlet, which is in daily talk with Fox regarding coming films replied to me saying, "PG 13 is the projected rating."

[Shockwave]

I still think its looking like a PG-13, or they would have released a offical rating for it by now.

This is idioticly stupid marketing if it turns out to be R, they should be shouting it on the highest rooftops for all horror fans to hear!

[SpacePuppet]

I have a bad feeling about Alien Vs Predator, it's got a shitty rating and a shitty director...

[countchocula]

Everyone's freaking out over nothing. They haven't shouted an R rating to the heavens yet because it's not a big fucking deal. It's implied that it will be rated R. Don't believe ANYTHING you read on the Internet. As Elgyn pointed out, every "event" genre picture has carried these same rumors. They've all been discredited.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Isn't it too late to change anything at this point with regards to the content of the film ? It's going to get the rating it gets at this point in time , unless Fox is obsessed with a PG 13 , and PA is forced to do a little trimming . It's already in the can and ready to go , i don't think they are going to tinker with it anymore .

[slasherfan]
