HertogJan Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Hehe I heard about that movie a long time ago, thought it would be finished a long time ago, but they're beginning this fall?? Hmm... well the story doesn't sound that exciting, predator 2 was kinda... bad... But pleeeease let this movie be great, the concept is anywayz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 Yup, there's been rumours going for years about this baby, but at last we get some official confirmation. I'd like to at least see some half-way competent actors in the lead roles, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
•-BLaCKouT-• Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 Hmmm, the plot sounds suspiciously akin to Jurassic Park: The Lost World [furrows brow] That being said: Yes, it'd better be good. So many people want this film, it'd be a shame to screw it up just for the sake of making it. I always hoped they'd put Noguchi from the Steve Perry 'AvP' novels in the film. And decent actors would be a plus too. I ain't holding my breath on that one though... [tries to be hopeful...] B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 I wanted the game but I am too young to get M rated games, the movie might be the best thing before I can get the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 Sam: Yup, actually, the second game's storyline would do quite well if implemented properly in a movie, I think. Just add some more teamwork: CO: Harrison, we want *you* to go inside alone and power up the generators, while we wait and guard this massively armoured transport. Harrison: But sir, the APC has enough guns to level every surrounding structure in sight, and enough ammunition to dispatch a whole platoon. Surely it can take care of itself while you provide me with some back-up? CO: Harrison, I gave you a DIRECT ORDER. Oh, and less illumination and aliens as well, bitte.

coupes. Posted June 20, 2003 Share Posted June 20, 2003 i'm not too sure about this movie, i have mixed feelings. I suspect this might be as good as the freddy vs Jason movie. Only time will tell though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 firstly, i really like Predator 2, i dunno why everyone rags on the movie? anyway, AvP movie sounds great to me, well until i read this anyway.... Last July, 20th Century Fox announced that Paul W.S. Anderson (writer/director of the “Resident Evil” film adaptation) had been chosen to spearhead a cinematic match-up between two cult characters in film history with “Alien vs. Predator.” i really hated the Resident Evil movie. Terrible adaptation from the games/novels. I heard George Romero had a script for RE but it was scrapped due to differences between him and the producers. it was supposedly really close to the game. maybe why this is why i harbor such feelings toward the movie :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Wow, what a dumb-sounding plot. So...how did they smuggle Alien eggs onto Earth...and why are they luring Predators to Antarctica, when we all know the Predators like hot environments to go hunting in? I would have thought Antarctica was the last place on Earth a Predator would want to go... Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hekx Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 I own AvP, and AvP2, and I like AvP2 better (graphics, of course. ) I've heard about a chance of this movie getting made, as well as Alien 5 and Predator 3, but it sounds like those two won't be made, instead an AvP will be made. The storyline doesn't sound too great, and especially the part where it names the "heroine" a "survivor." I hope they mean by personality trait, either way, have they explained too much already? They're probably luring them out to Antartica so the Predators can't hide in the trees. Also since they primarly track heat signals, the location is probably the best place to be. (Predator 2 plot bit below) Remember in Predator 2 where they tried to capture the Predator in the truck with the cold suits and cooling? (Bad description, but I can barely remember the movie since I haven't seen it for ages) But the Predator has other view types for hunting, so I bet they'll use other precautions too, or it's going to be a lame movie. "Hey he can't see me in this protection suit, it's like I'm... AHHHH" *Attack, attack, kick the bucket* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckcsaber Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Ugh! There is a HUGE amount of Alien vs. Predator books, comics, and games, so instead of using that GOLDMINE, they use this half-assed excuse for a movie-plot. And Wes Anderson, talk about a great director to bring life to a dieing series . I don't expect much of this movie at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 anyone else see this turning into a CGi fest with bullet-time effects and bad cgi???? I really hope im wrong, but when i first heard about this i thought anderson was a terrible choice... i was hoping he would have been dumped by now. I really don't understand why whenever they make a film based on a load of good existing material they insist on throuwing it all out the window, employing scriptwriters who don't understand the source material and producing bog-standard plots that contradict everything else... (see catwoman...) Predator 2 actually isn't that bad.... i think the main problem with it is danny glover.... i like danny golver, but he is totally miscast as the butch action-hero... Got AvP2 on ebay, arrived yesterday... looks like it will rock (although i miss the fish-eye view as an alien.) Environments and graphics look much better than Jedi Academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewok mercenary Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Oh no... I really like Predator (I haven't even bothered to watch P2 though) and I absolutely love Alien and Aliens (I try to forget that Alien3 wasn't very good and try to forget that Resurrection ever existed...) Anyway, with that in mind, you'd think I'd look forward to an Alien vs Predator film... well actually, no. I'm not looking forward to it. On their own, great, bring on more (good) films! But together... now we've got a problem. As much as you might like to think that this will be a great action movie, I can with confidence assure you that it won't be. It will undoubtedly be... how can I put this... rubbish. Combining Alien and Predator may work well for comics and books and games and such, but it won't for a film. In fact, it will be as bad as Alien Resurrection, mark my words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 i would have tried to get peter jackson. he really try's to stick to the original stories. hell after vulgar kevin smith would be good. if this does turn out good i will be thankful but i think it'll suck especially basedon what we have so far. it's too cliche.take the story from avp the game or from the predator comics with cameo: the aliens. oh and i enjoyed Predator 2.

KBell Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 I didn't know that such a great game could be screwed up so badly for the Resident Evil franchise...... well, s**t happens i guess. Hope A v P doesn't turn out that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockV1.89 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 I'll be at the first showing of this movie, you bet! I love AvP. I dont care if it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toms Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 thats the sort of attitude that allows them to get away with churning out the cookie cutter rubbish that drags the names of once great franchises into the mud... Personally, im hoping the alien quadrilogy with its altrenate cuts of Alien 3 and Resurection might fix a few things, both had good points, but ended up being less than the sum of their parts due to editing and plot problems.
