steveo21 Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Because you demanded it... ALIEN VS PREDATOR 2... Hey folks, Harry here with a report straight from the maw of Rothman. You know what happens when a painfully mediocre film based on a great concept makes a little money at Fox? They set out to make an even worse hunk of mediocrity. So... set off the confetti cannons - another nail in ALIENS and PREDATORS' coffins is being hammered... At the premiere for Big Mommas House 2, Tom Rothman, Head of Fox spoke about X Men 3, but what is also of note is his comments below on the AVP 2 film. According to SKNR.Net who first reported reported months ago that a film was coming and that it would have a contemporary setting according to Rothman based on the planned script, well thanks to The Movie Reporter and their exclusive interview, the news below seems to confirm this. Q: AvP 2 any development there? TR: Yeah, uh, Hutch would know actually better but I think they just got the script, they just got the script in...we are making that movie, it's gonna be kick ass (smiles). Q: How soon? TR: We're hoping for August of 2007 release. That's what we hope. IESB.net http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=22299 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUNSTONE Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Well, if the story is good enough, and the money is there, this could be a great movie. It really doesn't need a great story, but sequeels seem to be troubled by bad storys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon_mikal Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I never bothered with the the first AVP due to the PG-13 rating. It is amazing to me how a film studio can destroy two sagas in one go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdowwe Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I did watch AvP. I wasnt too impressed. I agree though, it did ruin the Alien and Predator film series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Dave Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I heard the DVD Director's Cut was better. Maybe they won't pussify this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I'll end up watching it on DVD no matter what the reviews. I guess thats why they keep making them. We all keep watching them, even if we complain they stink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Seriously, the story in the first one was weak. I did watch just to see the 2 fight. My suggestion is they just go without any pretense of a plot. Just have a guy at the beginning speaking directly into the camera: "alright look. the aliens are over there, the predators are over there. LETS GET IT ON!" and just have both sides have at it in a big wide open space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistymjohnson Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I am not a big sci-fi person... I obtained a movie (how is not important:silly:) but anyway, it was NOT what I expected it to be. Cleverly, the title and beginning credits were obscured so I wasn't sure what I was watching... So, of course now I am trying to figure out what the heck I am watching... And it wasn't until I actually got into the dang movie and was liking it that I realized it was Alien vs. Predator. So, because I wasn't expecting anything from it nor did I know anything about the plot... I actually enjoyed it. (Surprising for me considering it was a sci-fi movie)... I would definitely watch a sequel just because I am curious. Reading the posts I feel like I am missing something though. Was there a series or something put out of avp?

Commander PK Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Call me deranged, but I liked AVP. I'll probably like the 2nd one also. I loved the original movies, especially Predator 1, and Aliens. I really liked the battle scenes in AVP. The rest of the film was just window dressing for the real show. Predators and Aliens beating the crud out of each other. I especially liked the scene where the Predator takes his "krull" like weapon, and slices the Alien's head in half.

Tom [Giants fan] Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 I heard so many bad things about it before I saw it. I don't think it was that awful. Maybe because it was Alien and Predator. But it was a good movie outside of the name and expectations. I actually liked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
