Alien vs. Predator
 
From darkhorizons.com

Aliens vs. Predator: Latest rumour is that design wise, the aliens will resemble the ridged foreheads of those in "Aliens" and NOT the smooth headed appearance of the other chapters.


Sounds neato!

Now change the director and its even more better...

Whoopidie-doo. I thought they were just different species.

Screw this, I'm not going to go see the movie now. Bastards!

Ridged foreheads, Smooth foreheads, don't matter. Batman's takin' 'em down.

RocShemp 07-24-03 11:29 PM

And he's gonna take some Predators with him! :D

...not if the Gremlins have any say in the matter.

Giantrobo 07-25-03 08:35 AM

They should go with a new design since Aliens take on the characteristics of whatever the facehugger "hugged".

True. Which makes me hope I see an Alien pop outta a Predator. That would make for a fugged-up looking Alien.

Well that explains the Dog Alien in 3, but do the aliens in 1,2,4 all look the same? I don't know.

Well, yesh. They were bred in humans, so they have the same basic framework as humans. Also, their heads still look like human jaws on the end of a human penis. -eek-

Those things are a bitch to kill in the game.

Can you imagine if it WAS Paul Anderson, the Boogie Nights director?

(Scene. PREDATOR and ALIEN sit at a dimly-lit table in a smoke-filled bar.)

PREDATOR: <font size="1">tututututututut....</font>

ALIEN: <font size= "1">ssssssraaaaaagh....</font>

PREDATOR: <font size="1">tututututututut....</font>

ALIEN: <font size= "1">ssssssraaaaaagh....</font>

(This continues for two-and-a-half hours.)

Don't worry, they'll have marines and other humans running around in the middle of the action creating plenty of dialogue and fodder. :)

I like Paul Anderson. Resident Evil was good, Event Horizon was decent, what are you guys wanting...Luc Besson?

I would have loved to see what he would have done with this flick..I'd rather have Ridley Scott/James Cameron in the place of Anderson...

(Scene 1. A PREDATOR and an old Italian gangster sit in a dimly-lit room in a restaurant.)

GANGSTER: We need this done tuesday. Are you free tuesday?

PREDATOR: <font size="1">tututututututut....</font>

GANGSTER: Um... Okay then.

(Scene 2. A gang of aliens breaks into a drug dealer's house and kills everyone to the melodious sounds of Beethoven. A little girl escapes and contacts the friendly PREDATOR that lives down the hall.)

GIRL: Please open the door!

(PREDATOR watches her through his infra-red peephole. He lets her in.)

(Scene 3. The GIRL and the PREDATOR sit down together. He's very uncomfortable.)

GIRL: My name's Newt.

PREDATOR: <font size="1">tututututututut....</font>

GIRL: Why? Well, Sigourney Weaver wouldn't come back and I was the only other likable character in the series.

PREDATOR: <font size="1">tututututututut....</font>

GIRL: Bill Paxton? Why? He dies in every film. Terminator, Aliens...

PREDATOR: <font size="1">tututututututut....</font>

GIRL: Wow, you too? Man, he needs to pick better roles. Teach me to be a predator so I can kill those aliens who killed my family!

(Scene 4. The GIRL and the PREDATOR start training. The ALIENS come back, more of them this time, armed with a lot of Eric Serra music. CHRIS TUCKER enters, and tries to fight them off with helium-voiced annoyance. This works for a while, then they kill him. The audience cheers. PREDATOR fights them all off, but is then mortally wounded by the Alien Queen.)

PREDATOR: (computer-synthesized recording) This... is... for...... Newt.

(He starts laughing, and the building blows up. NEWT somehow escapes.)

NEWT: Wow, I can't believe I escaped! I'll miss you Predator!

(Suddenly, a crowd of Fox Execs come and kill Newt, thereby removing any interest we had in the film. THE END)

They just released a new action figure series featuring the different Alien movies.

Stan Winston Aboard Constantine, Not Alien vs. Predator
Friday, August 1, 2003 1:20 CDT

Moviehole talked to f/x guru Stan Winston who said he's on board the Constantine adaptation but surprisingly will not be working on Alien vs. Predator. What's odd, however, is that Constantine is at Warner Bros. and is produced by Lauren Shuler Donner... did Stan get mixed up?

"Right now, I'm in the middle of working on a wonderful movie over at Columbia – with Laura Ziskin, who did "Spider-Man", called "Constantine", based on a comic called "Hellblazer". I can't say too much, because of a confidentially agreement I have with them, but the script is wonderful and we're working on some great character designs for it", says Winston.

One film Winston’s a little disappointed he didn't get asked to be a part of was the upcoming "Aliens vs. Predator". "I wanted to be involved in that so badly", he confesses. "I mean I created the Predator. I drew him up on a plane ride with Jim Cameron. And then Aliens, I created the Queen. So they're like my babies, so I wasn't very happy that I'm not asked to be a part of it. Pride of Ownership, I guess. Still, I wish them the best of luck, and just hope they do the film some justice".

Winston’s crossing his fingers they do follow-up "Predator" and "Aliens" movies so that he might get a chance to work alongside his "babies" again.

:( This news sucks :(

Giantrobo 08-07-03 10:37 AM

Hellblazer :up:

Corvin 08-07-03 10:54 AM

Uh, why didn't they want Winston to work on AvP?

I'm sure they'll get a group competent enough, but yeah, that's kind of disappointing.

I'm going to wait for the DVD. Unless it doesn't have an insert.

Alien vs. Predator - starring...
 
...Sanaa Lathan!!! I'm sure that is who you were all expecting. ;) It also has Lance Henriksen and the Italian guy from Under the Tuscan Sun.

here's the linky:

She's pretty, now let's see her kick some ass!!!

Honestly, how many people were excited about this movie in the first place?

Rogue588 10-29-03 03:15 PM


Studio sources said the Kline character is reminiscent of the Ellen Ripley role Sigourney Weaver played in the "Alien" series.
Must be. Lookit what she's wearin'...

Stupid studio logic..

Paul Anderson is directing

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other news, the teaser poster should be out in the next few weeks.

funkyryno 10-29-03 03:26 PM

Oh boy, I hope my dream movie doesn't turn out to be a turd. It sounds like it may be.

jaeufraser 10-29-03 03:47 PM

I had hope for this movie. While the concept of a versus movie was odd, it had potential to be really awesome. Then they hired Paul Anderson to direct, and then they let him WRITE the movie too. Oh well.

Here's an early script review from AICN:

Paul Anderson is directing. That is reason enough for me not to see it.
