To no one’s surprise (well, maybe just a few), yesterday’s rumour became today’s news as Greg and Colin Strause have signed on to direct ALIEN VS. PREDATOR 2. Greg Strause confirmed the news on the Strauses’ website earlier in the day, according to the fansite Alien Experience.
For those unfamiliar with the Strauses’ work, the duo originally started out doing special effects for films like TERMINATOR 3 and X-MEN: THE LAST STAND, but also expanded into directing, and have made a number of music videos for bands such as A Perfect Circle, Staind and Nickelback.
As I said before, haters of Paul Anderson can breathe a sigh of relief (for now), so let’s hope that AVP2 returns to the chestbursting and spine-ripping that the ALIEN and PREDATOR are known for.
