ALIEN VS PREDATOR out to writers... again

Published at:  Jun 05, 2002 7:24:32 PM CDT

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!

    by pepper sinclaire

    ...nooooo! This will never be a good idea, and will stall like Freddy Does Jason. Why not just make a porno with the Alien sticking its cock-tongue-thing up the Predator's vagina-substitute-face (you wanna talk Top Gun as homosexual subtext? Try Predator instead - all boys together trying to destroy something with a fadge for a face?) and be done with it! The ultimate movie monster sexual organ substitutes in a one on one corrosive blood fist fuck fest! Man versus woman, penis versus vagina, it's a Freudian dream and attaching the producer of Doctor "FUCKING SHIT" Dolittle to this means we'll get at least one twat involved. Let it go, no-one cares any more except the AVP computer game fans, and they know Predator kicks everyone's ass anyway.
    In other words - I don't think this will work. I hope I have to eat my words, I really do, but for now - big fat doody on AVP. P$

    Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are standing between them.

    They attack each other and kill Affleck and Damon, and they also kill off each other...

    (except for one egg of each species)

    As the screen begins to fade, the eggs hatch.

    I really doubt this will ever happen. Nough said. Anyway, I always though the aliens were much more interesting than the predators. I hate it when my friends go, "Well, in the comic book, the Predator wins," to which I respond, "No, the Alien is much cooler than the Predator." Ultimately, though, I'd rather see a new movie about something other than Alien VS Predators... but in the same vein.

    ...it just seems to me to be awfully thin material upon which to base an entire movie. I just know they're going to embellish the stories with some sort of lame-ass "Encyclopedia Brown saves the world" sort of storyline, which I hate and which wouldn't be in the spirit of the novels. Now, if each movie was a series of 5 or 6 shorter vignettes, perhaps based directly on stories from the books or new mysteries in the spirit of the books, I could dig that.

  • I'd still like to see the original Dark Horse comic book story told on the big screen. This is a movie that I've been waiting to see for a very long time, I'm sure everyone out there feels the same... let's just hope that FOX and this Davis guy get everything right and don't turn this into a mindless popcorn flick (I don't want to see a PG-13 rating with Ben Affleck in the lead role). The 600 year old man searching for eternal life using both species as pawns in his game is a decent enough concept and one that could probably work if the right people are involved (great screenwriter, great director and a solid cast). One of the worst things about ALIEN RESURRECTION was the terrible casting of shitty, over-the-top actors in some of the major roles - I don't want to see Dan Hedaya, J.E. Freeman or Gary Dourdan go anywhere near another ALIEN film (I'll forgive Ryder, Perlman and Weaver since they pretty much made the movie watchable). So if there is anyone out there who is reading this and is involved in the process of making this movie... please take my advice and put some real thought into turning this project into the best that it can possibly be (and it can be great). Give us a movie that is gonna kick our asses!!!

If anyone who is attached to this "project" is reading, tell him the only way movie geeks will line up to see this abomination from Tibet is if the title is: "Predator vs Alien vs Scooby Doo." Freddy Prinze would make a fine stand-in for Arn. And yes, I certainly would go see that movie.

    I gotta agree. The charm of E.B. came from the fact that he was a petty kid with a big brain solving petty crimes. Yeah, if they tried to get too big (ie. E.B. brings down a terrorist ring bent on introducing carcinogens into cafeteria beanie-weenies.) I still think it could work, though TV is the better route, like... whoever it was said so. When was there an E.B. series? I thought kiddie detective shows began with the Edison Twins + died with Shirley Holmes. Out.

    I agree with you about the "Alien: Resurrection" cast - in particular Dan Hedaya. For God`s sake, did he think he was in a different movie or something? But dude, when you mentioned the people who were okay, you forgot Michael Wincott! He played the leader of the 'space pirates', remember? He was the only cool character in the damn movie - but OF COURSE he died first, in the single lamest death scene in the series. Okay, this guy`s supposed to be the leader of these badass space pirates, and what does he do? Go walking down a damn dark spooky corrider all by himself!! You knew he was gonna die like ten friggin` minutes before it happened! P.S.- "Garfield: The Movie"? Okay. I can live with that I guess. "Encyclopedia Brown: The Movie"? Hmmm....could work, I suppose. But for the love of all that is sacred and holy....."THREE`S COMPANY: THE MOVIE"??!!?? That is the single dumbest idea for a movie I have *ever* heard.

    by theginger twit

    If they really want to make a good Alien VS. Predator film then they need to come up with a story that makes the actual AVP story secondary while something really poignant happens in the mix. A guy trying to prolong his life sounds too hammy. you need some bad ass marines who want to study how the predators hunt, so they can learn from them, then they end up getting picked off one by one themselves, only to beat them but have a few aliens left over - they then use the predator techniques to kick some alien butt cheeks. But then again, read the subject title of this post.

    I totally agree with your comments about Michael Wincott, he was probably the best damn thing about ALIEN RESURRECTION. When he stepped onto that docking platform alongside his crew of misfit space pirates wearing his badass leather trenchcoat I was sure he was to become the coolest character to appear in an ALIEN film since Vasquez! But what did they do? They fucking killed him in one of the worst death scenes in that entire movie!!! Actually, I take that back. The "kill shot" itself was pretty brutal but his character deserved much more screen time. The worst death in that movie was Dan Hedaya's "Oops, my brains have fallen out and I'm going to die cross eyed" swan song. God, I really hate talking about that movie. I fucking love ALIENS, it's been my favorite flick since my parents took me to see it in the summer of 1986 (I was seven years old and nearly shit myself when that first Chestburster ripped through the colonist in the cocoon chamber... wish I knew what the hell my parents were thinking when they decided that ALIENS would be my first 'R' rated feature). Anyway, I had been dreaming of a sequel for years after that and nearly had a heart attack when I caught the first promo teaser for ALIEN 3 (you guys remember that egg floating through the starfield?), I counted the days till May 22, 1992... I COUNTED THE DAYS!!! Okay,... I'm sorry... I'm just rambling now. My point is that I liked ALIEN 3, was crushed and disappointed by ALIEN RESURRECTION and look forward to an AvP movie or at least a fifth ALIEN film to end the series with a bang. Plus, it would kick major ass to witness the dreadlocked space hunter use his heavy metal arsenal against a horde of Alien Warriors on the big screen. Well, I can dream... can't I?

This was Weavers moment and the fucks pissed on it.It explained the whole thing with Newt, why she was pissed off in that board meeting, everything. Shit like that makes me wonder about the people running the movie business. Weaver got screwed out of her oscar for that deleted scene.I hear Weaver and Cameron are still pissed off about it all these years. Hell I'm still pissed off about it. Then the fucking pricks had to totally screw Fincher on Alien 3, motherfuckers. To me almost all hope is lost for AvP and Alien 5. I don't know if there is any way left for the studio fucks to redeem their blasphemy when it comes to the alien series.By the way a nature concept no dialogue is a great idea for AvP. At least it would totally break the alien formula and start anew, and the bear ruled

    Predator Special Edition DVD

    by peejee

    I bought the Predator Special Edition DVD when it came out on Monday (sorry Yank buddies, it's only available in England and Australia for the time being) and it brought back to me how much love I have for this film and this franchise. The original Predator is just a fantastic film! I'm not talking Lawrence of Arabia fantastic more Die Hard, The Matrix, Terminator fantastic! And one thing that I will probably never get the chance to say again....Arnie is excellent in it! I don't just mean he has the physical presence of Commando, Conan, Terminator, Running man, I mean his acting is suprisingly good in it! Watch the for sly little look that he gives to the General at the start of the film when he explains about the chopper going down, watch for the little subletys during his verbal sparring with Carl Weathers. Little squints of the eyes and looks ("what happened to you Dylan") along with the compulsory "Arnie lines". He's very good in this film. The DVD has some fantastic features. Commentary, a 30min Making of, special effects segments, 4 deleted scenes etc. Theres some really good inside info on the film. Like when Jean Claude Van Damme auditioned to play the Predator thinking he would be playing the bad guy to Arnie's good guy not knowing he would be inside a suit the whole time. Apparently he lasted a week in the original suit and quit because it was so awkward. The original suit was terrible. Like a reptilian version of those bad guys in StarGate. It looked crap. Then Arnie gets Stan Winston in on the job. Winston was sitting next to Jim Cameron on a flight to LA, doing some sketches for the Predator. Cameron takes a look and says "Y'know, I've always wanted to see something with mandibles." Winston then started doing sketches for Predators with mandibles and the end result is the Predator you see in the film. So I guess we have Jim Cameron to thank for the greatest ever movie alien. Then theres Jesse Ventura arguing with Arnold about who has the biggest arms, Jesse Ventura going on about how he is the only one who can pick up "ol' painless", how "ol' painless" was one of the biggest and most popular "chracters" on the set, how ol' painless had to be modified so you could see it firing (the ammo that the average man could carry on his back was only equal to a 5 second burst), how the effects shots we're achieved by a guy getting dressed up in a big red suit, how Arnie got a severe case of the shits after eating in a local restaurant and had to spend part of the production with an I.V drip in his arm (apparently you can see his weight fluctuate in the film) and much more. A great DVD. Don't know when it comes out in the US but definately worth a look when it does!

    by rabid_republican

    This is probably the most substancive report on the sci-fi dream project I have yet to see, which is good news. Plot's pretty straight forward. As I've said numerous times before, the script writes itself: Preadators go hunting Aliens, with humans stuck in the middle. Give us a sympathetic female lead--perhaps Lynn Kurosawa from the video game?--and make it more a survival story than an action flick and you're golden. It's not hard guys, just keep it tight.

    I wrote an A vs P spec for fun long time ago.

    by wildbillkelso

    I centered it on a group of miners that crash on the same planet Alien started out on, a planet, it turns out, that the A's and the P's are fighting over. Why were they sent towards this planet? What do the suits at Weyland Yutani Corp. know? Then, caught in a battle between two higher lifeforms, the miners discover why they were sent here. They've been sent here for the same reason the Aliens and Predators are here...

    ...I guess it was more of a prequel... but I always thought the back story that led up to Alien was pretty interesting, and shed a lot more light on the rest of the series, especially Alien and Aliens. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

    Hey,

    There appear to be several John Davis
    clones running around. This particular John Davis is NOT the same one that did Jimmy Neutron - that was John A. Davis (me).

    Just FYI

    How's this for an idea?

    by bramton1

    Imagine it. After two horrific battles against the evil dead, Bruce Campbell faces the next ultimate horror. Yes, it's "Ash vs. Aliens." Let's get Sam Raimi and Fox together on this. It needs to be made!

    Better Predator treatments

    by sofa sogood

    I find it hard to believe that fox hasn't opted to expand on the amazing Predator series illustrated beautifully in Dark Horse's "Predator: Big Game" or "Predator: Cold War" These comic sub series make you crave everything these studio scripts could never quench. With Darkhorse's Aliens vs. Predator you could watch and believe humans become allies with these sidistic hunters. Thats what fanboy wants to see. Screw the body camo, Screw the telescopic spears. We want to see these 7 foot bad asses partner up with humans and waste some aliens. Personally I would rather never see an AvP if I have to sit through another X-Men. Statue of Libery......Come On.

    Aliens in the 5th round

    by skaetur

    Aliens have super blood. As soon as one of those stupider than dirt predaters tried to take a skull he'd be dead. They wouldn't comunicate it to their other predators because hunters hunt solo, they dopnt hunt in packs like aliens. No way could a predator survive.
    'Nuff Said.

    PLEASE go and find a way to see the Battle Royale movie, and look at the article posted today about the asiaAICN article on it.
    Battle Royal is better than Star Wars, and Spiderman, and XMEN, and yes, Predator, and welll maybe not ALien part one, but all the rest yes.

    Only 3 People Can Save This Movie......

    by dukethebastard

    Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Cameron and John Mctiernan.
    Don't get either one of them, then this movie will stink.

  • yeah, you heard me right, I just wanna see them slug it out. Keep the original comic book concept, keep the modern day crashed predator version, go with this new one, I DON'T FREAKING CARE!!!! ahhhhh... who am I kidding, this flick will never make it out of development hell... or it might, verrrryyy slowly.

  • And the marines' screentime should be limited to 15 minutes.

    i guess the predators are smarter than some people thought. if you look in the "trophy case" in the ship at the end of Predator 2 you can distinctly see an alien skull hanging on the wall. Isn't crossover minutae grand?

  • Godzilla type monster verses monster with hapless extras being
    slaughtered gratuitously, both franchises will end up in the shitter.

    TRIPPER!

    by tomvee

    THREE'S COMPANY: THE MOVIE could star the original Jack as Jack's dad. Only he turns out to be a murderous android, intent on establishing his own household in a hidden basement. How's that for original?

    AVP... Long time wait...

    by ross.rocks

    Honestly I think this will be a scorcher of a flick, I'd pay twice to see it aslong as the script works...

    ..and to be honest I think people like P.$sinclair etc who keep going on and on should stop being such fcuking cry babies and just wait till its released if ever and not go on like a bunch of grannies! - SO WHAT IF ITS FULL OF CGI, OR DOESNT GO ON ABOUT SOMEONE'S DAUGHTER'S DOG'S SISTERS MOM THAT DIED OF HEAT STROKE 50 YEARS BEFORE MY ARSE WAS BORN. All I wanna see is a good film, I'm not gonna spend all day bitching about it, I bet you lot went into Star Wars 1 LOOKING for the special effects just to bitch about them.. I enjoyed to film, it wasnt the bollox but who cares!

    Here's a tip, next time you go down the flicks to see a film, even AVP leave your narrow mindedness, your little geeks notepad and pencil and your cgi hating 'shitty' prop loving hard-ons at home and just try and enjoy the fcuking movie!!

    Sheeesh, next you'll be telling me Britney isnt good lucking!!

    Mmmm... Britney....

    by black monarch

    Mmmm... Britney...

    "Britney Spears vs Predator" : The Predators go hunting for Britney, not to kill her, but to take her back to their home planet and make her their queen because they like her music. Then she goes medieval on some Alien ass. Then a lesbian sex scene with Call. That would be cool.
