ALIEN VS PREDATOR out to writers... again

Hey folks, Harry here... Seems that Producer John Davis and Fox have a take on ALIEN VS PREDATOR that they like and are pursuing, they've only got to find a writer to write the screenplay now.

First, who is this John Davis producer chap? Well, he's got some odd properties he's attached to, like an ENCYCLOPEDIA BROWN film, a GARFIELD movie, MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E., MAGNUS: ROBOT FIGHTER, THE RIFLEMAN, SHOWTIME: THE HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS STORY, THREE'S COMPANY the movie. He's currently the producer on the Tom Cruise THE LAST SAMURAI film that is set to shoot down in New Zealand, if what I hear is correct. He's produced the DR DOLITTLE films, JIMMY NEUTRON: BOY GENIUS, BEHIND ENEMY LINES, COURAGE UNDER FIRE, THE HUNTED, WATERWORLD, THE THING CALLED LOVE and the original PREDATOR and PREDATOR 2.

Now it seems the story that they've decided to pursue involves some 600 year old technology gur named Gideon Lee, who has extended his life via technology and secrets gained from a crashed PREDATOR ship up in like Tibet centuries ago. Now he has decided to use a bunch of ALIEN eggs to make a hostile 'Hunt' attractive environment for the Predators to come back and hunt in, while he and his team set to study their technology and so he can get more of whatever is prolonging his life. Apparently there is also a reporter that gets caught in the middle of this and of course it all goes to hell.

This kinda blends the 'fucking corporation' concepts of ALIEN and ALIENS... along with the visceral hunt cool of the PREDATOR flicks. This could work out if they attach a damn fine screenwriter. Now of all the projects that John Davis is involved in, the one I'm most excited about is the Alex Proyas film version of I, ROBOT! That's some coolness we can all get behind!
