UPDATE: One of our astute readers has informed us that this hybrid concept was in fact rejected and won't be the one seen in the movie. Which is too bad, since I was grooving to it. Let's hope whatever they DID choose is at least better than the hybrid in ALIEN RESURRECTION...

If you survived to the final moments of AVP (and could see through your tears of anguish over the destruction of two beloved franchises), the idea of a hybrid Alien and Predator won't be a surprise. So the upcoming sequel AvP2 ("No matter who wins, we lose AGAIN") seems to be picking up immediately following those chest-bursting moments, since we have a glimpse of what that extraterrestrial combo may look like.

The gore-lords at our grisly sister Arrow in the Head came across some designs of this potential superbeast, and it actually looks pretty snaz. It doesn't deviate significantly from the original xenomorph appearance, but it does have funky fingers and hints of that distinct Predator vagina mouth, plus lots of spines and semi-dreadlocks. See more views of this acid-bleeding head collector RIGHT HERE.

The sequel has FX guys Greg and Colin Strause making their feature debut on the conflict, which supposedly again takes place here on Earth with humans stuck in the middle. And it'll be your Christmas present -- the release is curiously set for December 25th. At least it'll be rated R, until the studio changes their mind...

Extra Tidbit: At least the AvP2 special effects should be solid -- the Strause brothers worked on visual FX for dozens of shows and movies including X-FILES, BAND OF BROTHERS, TITANIC, T3 and the modern classic TORQUE.

At least get it right
Pitof didn't direct Resurrection, it was Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Pitof made Catwoman (which was worse than Resurrection) and from what I've seen so fat, Jeunet makes beautiful,intriguing and visually compelling movies, so yes, his part in the Aliens franchise has been the low point of his career, but I'd still blame the writers or producers, somebody else.

more times than you have, Mr. Durden. Sorry to take you off your soapbox there, but let's face it -- even if it did stay true to the franchise (or more true than AVP, anyway), Pitof still did a piss-poor job of it. Now, if they took that same stuff and had given it to.....oh, John Woo or David Fincher or John McTiernan or Renny Harlin, than we'd probably attack it less.

don't count that hybrid in Resurrection for this. That was a human/human-based xenomorph thing. Totally different.



Anyway, for me, the Predalien will always look the way it did in the Alien vs Predator 2 video game for PC, but that's not a horrible pic (or at least, not horrible in the way we don't want it to be). Looking forward to the final version.

Wow, it looks exactly like the original Dark Horse Pred-Alien introduced in AVP: Duel. How "awesome". Still, it'll be cool to see it on-screen (hopefully), but unless the script has changed significantly, I'm pretty sure the movie and it's K-Mart finale are still gonna suck.

Looks great. Too bad nobody in Hollywood seems to have a creative thought left in their head so we can get something NEW. (And blending two things together to get something else does not count).



I will still see this on dvd though because I'm half a tool (saved from the other half by not seeing Hostel 2).
