Please, I know it's quite crap,
but I would like to downald it anyway...
Anyone knows where is a mirror ?
-
You know what I think WS Anderson actually has a cool premise for this flick. I think this could actually work. I liked what I saw of the storyboards and conceptual artwork.
-
I know that generally trailers dont mean shit and one shouldnt judge a film by it's trailer, (especially when it is a crappy teaser trailer like this which literally gives nothing away). But I'm not in the least enthused byt this....and I am a huge Predator, Alien and Aliens fan!!!
-
Sad to see such a work of art as "Alien" reduced to such a ridiculous notion.
I can't wait to see "The Women of The Hours versus The Women of Personal Velocity." -
The predators are not conquerors, they are hunters. If the Predator wins, he may kill a few humans, take a few heads and other trophies, but that is it. He's not going to lead an army of Predators to Earth. A Predator is really no more dangerous than a skilled serial killer. The Alien is a much more dangerous creature. An alien will turn into a queen and then completely wipe out the human species.
-
I mean, it sucked so bad I've got hickies on my eyeballs from watching it. It sucked so hard, I'm throwing out my hoover and turning this on when I need to vacuum the rug. It sucked so hard, I'm going to start charging people $20 to stand in front of the monitor with their pants down while I play it. Man, it sucked so hard not light can escape! Nah, I'm kidding, I thought it was pretty cool. sk
-
This looks ok. I dunno, il prolly see it cuz i love aliens and predators. I just hope Anderson doesnt f*ck this up like resident evil.
-
Along with everyone's favorite whipping boy director in a featurette. Check it out...if you give damn.
-
Teaser was cheesy. Even though I'm a fan of Alien, Aliens and Predator this uncreative, cookiecutter teaser doesn't make me want to see it or care that I'm now aware that it'll be here next year. Say what you want about Resident Evil 2, but that was a teaser that made the attempt to do something different and creative. I liked it. Others may hate it but the fact is, they made an effort. My guess is that Rupe-Dog and the boys at Fox are going underfund this thing and it's going to suck and hit video 2 months after it's released (as opposed to 3 or 4 months like everything else is. HA!) Keeping my $ in my pocket!
-
This could be great: Chucky is a stowaway on some kids' ships and he tries to kill them. They jump overboard and JAWS eats them before Chucky can get 'em. Chucky swears "smile you son of a bitch" and dives into the water for a bloody showdown.
-
zzzzzzz
-
"Whoever wins, we lose" means we lose either way? Sounds awful. really- what do they have at this point, a couple of costumes. The hype motor is failing to start, maybe there's no gas...nope, I think the battery is completely dead, I can hear the solenoid clicking and that's it.
-
i may have to take my pulse rifle to the theater so i can kill this piece of crap cinema. dear sweet lord, is that gonna suck. and anderson is a low rent, no talent hack.
-
the question - how many whiners from yesterday's talk back will be able to keep themselves from watching this trailer? of course, these are the same people who will watch this trailer AND CONTINUE TO BITCH, and then watch it in the theater (3 times) and CONTINUE TO BITCH. i can already hear the excuses, 'well, i won't stand in line opening night.
-
I try not to hate whenever possible but this looks like a piece of crap. I'm saddened that Alien and Predator are reduced to this mockery.

by gere's assgerbil
Yeah, the trailer is lame. But you know what? I don't care. This project is every fanboy's wet dream and it's REALLY happening. I think that's pretty damn cool all by itself. If it sucks donkey dick I won't be surprised. But if it at all captures the spirit of the Alien and Predator creatures, then it could be so cool. So my interest in this film just went from zilch to moderate. And from that standpoint, I'd say they did their job.

Sad, sad, sad. For more great movie matchups may I suggest Punky Brewster vs. fat blonde girl from Family Ties vs. druggy chick from Different Strokes; Benji vs. Lassie vs. Cujo; Small Wonder robot girl vs. Tweekie vs. K-9; Where's the Beef lady vs. Ruth Gordon vs. Julia Childs; Gandalf vs. Merlin vs. Professor Dumbledore; Aristotle vs. Plato vs. Socrates; Jesus vs. Mohammad vs. the Buddha. Add your own, it's fun!
-
Paul W.S. Anderson < Paul Thomas Anderson. The middle initials don't help, bub.
-
Because Earth is still around in the Aliens films and Earth obviously dont have any aliens cus they want Ripley so bad... unless of course Anderson decided to go ahead and forget all about tieing this in with the other films, that would be depressing. Ill still have alien, aliens and the first predator movie.
-
Sometimes teaser trailers are so fuckin' dumb. "Let's show a close-up of black leather seats from a sports car while looping Predator and Alien sounds on our Casio keyboard!" Still, I'll probably see the movie, just to spite that big pasty guy with red pubes coming out of his chin.
-
You watch a TEASER trailer that does not reflect that, in essence, has nothing to do with the film and you say it is going to suck?
Get a life losers! -

300 Alien fans packed into a theater at 10pm on a Tuesday night
by fatboy_roberts
and ONE PERSON made a positive noise. one. And he was such an annoying greasy fucktard that he didn't count. The dorky bastard and his asshole friends in the row behind him must have thought we all trekked out to the ass end of our city at 10 pm on a work night to go watch him and his unfunny fat greasy pimply pinhead punk motherfuckers lob retarded half-ass one-liners at the screen. This isn't Rocky Horror Picture Show, motherfucker. It's Alien. And you're stupid. just about as stupid as the trailer and the storyline and the concept of this movie. I mean, c'mon now. If you can't get 300 Alien fans to do more than shift uncomfortably in their chair and grumble amidst a smattering of boos, then chances are your core audience DOES NOT WANT TO WATCH YOUR FUCKING TRAINWRECK OF A MOVIE. The story is stupid and unoriginal. "ooh, what's mysterious. PYRAMIDS! Pyramids are mysterious. Lets have them be inside pyramids inside pyramids underneath--uh..underneath ANARCTICA! Antarctica is mysterious." I mean jesus, THIS is the ALIEN backstory? We see the guy who begins "The Company" and he's who Bishop is based on and it turns out the aliens were on earth THE WHOLE GODDAMN TIME? This is Alien 5, co-starring Predators. This is what Fox decided they needed to make as opposed to pushing it to the side and letting Cameron go to work on it, like he offered--as long as they didn't do Alien vs Predator first. But this is what we have. And it's a garbage idea. And after audiences have been exposed to the greatness that is the original, the elegance, the beauty, the real horror and not the clumsy, manufactured scares that Anderson is good at fumbling out at the audience, why would people WANT to see the Alien further shit all over. No one saw Resurrection either, after a nice thanksgiving opening weekend. it topped out at 40 mil. Because it was fucking garbage. And this story is WORSE than that one is. it's cornier, and the people can smell it just steaming off this turd. No one wants to see this, Fox. Nobody I know, nobody I've talked to, has ANY real enthusiasm for this picture anymore. Maybe back in the early 90's. back then you might have been able to pull it off. But as it is now, with the storyline you're running with and the director you have now--you'll get more genuine involvement and scares and action by firing up a copy of one of the computer games.
-
Considering that shooting just began this week, this is a good teaser. That is why it does not show much yet you bunch of idiots, it just started shooting. I am a huge fan of both Alien and Predator and while I don't think this will be as good as Alien, Aliens, or Predator, I do think it will be better than Alien 3, Alien: Ressurection, and Predator 2. Can't wait until next August.

i said this before. that line "whoever wins..." is stupid. therefore i win the internet.

"From the director of Mortal Kombat, Soldier, and Resident Evil"
by brody armstrong
This movie is going to be horrible.
-
Damn you Quicktime!
-
Yeah...we could have had James Cameron write an Alien movie...or we could have this shit...by the genious who did resident evil? and they CHOSE this shit? On purpose? Were they Comatose? Have the executives at Warner Brothers taken over 20th Century Fox? What a steaming pile...
Not to mention the Aliens seem like pussies here...maybe they can have 300 of them fight 2 Predator Babies in the sequel! This ass "likes Aliens" about as much as he likes hemmerroids...woo hoo! Resident Evil 3!
-
This rushed teaser looks to me to be consistent with all we have heard so far about this project. It will have agile, overwhelming... marketing; a jaw-dropping, thought-provoking... opening weekend; and, of course, a script, cast and... uhh... what's that called? Oh yeah, a director. The guy who says "action!" and drives a Bentley. Seriously folks, the wonderful world of Alien (and the aborted but promising world of Predator) is a franchise now. Nothing more. Ignore this hype and hope for del Toro's Mountains of Madness to really lay the Antarctic head trip on us. Maybe he can slip one by them. Hope so.
-
i know this isnt really a cause to hope or anything, but he did seem rather geek-like excited about the project. mabey that will motivate him to not fuck it all up.
-
..."Dollman vs. Dangerous Toys." Actually, I don't mind Anderson. He's not a genius, but... the audience cheered "Mortal Kombat" at the midnight show I caught ("Bicycle kiiiiick!!!"), that flick is the first to put Fear Factory on a soundtrack (Johnny Cage vs. Scorpion), and I recently got a chance to read the "Resident Evil 2" script and dug. The ass production photos are misleading... done right, it looks like a fun movie.
-
Too bad the movie won't live up to it. No matter how bad Anderson fucks this up you can't deny that this project had the potential to be the coolest sci-fi geek show the world has ever seen. That trailer sets up a fantastic battle between the two species and in the hands of a competent director the final product would have been amazing. I'm still hoping that this will turn out to be halfway decent, that at the very least Paul Anderson will churn out something that entertains us. I really hope he surprises us all with this, there's no going back now.

You know... at this point we're batting .500 in alien/predator films.
With Alien, Aliens and Predator being the winners and Alien3, Alien Ressurection and Predator 2 the losers.
After this film, the losers will win... and ...well that just sucks. This film will be the culmination of two movie franchises finally being flushed down the toilet.
Sad. -
it relies too much on borrowed interest and doesn't create a sense of anticipation/excitement/fear of it's own. only with an intimate knowledge of the previous installments can you even get a hint of what these images are supposed to be. one quick, "shock" reveal/reminder of what we might be in store for would've helped.
-
Just a question...since when was either one of these franchises considered "art?" I mean...they're bloody popcorn movies people! Alien was nice, but if you've seen Planet of The Vampires ( complete with skeletal alien remains ) and IT! Terror from Beyond Space, you've seen Alien's influences. It was a great, beefed up B movie. I loved it to death, but let's get real. It's not Citizen Kane. And Predator? It was fun but hokey. A testoserone fest with some reeeeaaally cheesy dialogue. "I ain't got time to bleed!" Errr. I thought the Predator costume was great though...and that shoulder gun was freaking cool...but again...popcorn movie. I think Alien vs. Predator will be okay. Two badass space critters slapping each other around. Shit man...I'm there. I for one cannot fathom WHY Harry hates the director so much. It's almost pathological. Did they used to date or something? Jeeeeez. Seriously, Harry bags on Anderson this much and has the balls to say that Godzilla was a great movie or that he cried during Armageddon? Uh huh. Something's up here.
-
that featured a field full of Alien/Xenomorph eggs and that laser beam thing. The locale was very Earth-like and featured mountains, trees and foliage that "could be" Earth. A facehugger climbs out of an egg and scrambles away only to be stepped on by something invisible, that within seconds materializes/decloaks into the Predator as we fade to the titles and release date info.
-
Doesn't he seem incredibly well meaning? He seems like a very nice person who just wants to make great movies. Unfortunately, he doesn't. I saw Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon, and Soldier in the theater and hated all three. I rented Resident Evil and didn't care for that either. He seems to have a "gloss" to his films that keeps them from feeling like they aren't on a film set. That is one of many things wrong with his films to date. It truly is a shame that we won't get another James Cameron Alien installment because of this piece of shit. By piece of shit I mean AVP, not Paul W.S. Anderson. Like I said, he seems very nice.
-
The Company wants to exploit the Alien homeworld. It contracts with a Predator, one of a species known in the future as superb hunters, to help the human exploration/exploitation team of brainiacs, muscles, and corrupt corporate weasels. Lance can be Bishop 2.0 or the future's Weyland or both. Jessica Biel can play the new cloned/enhanced Ripley--in a thong and cropped T.
Take it from there.
Send my consultant fee. -
While many of you seem to think that the AVP storyline outlined by Paul W.S. Anderson in the featurette might pose some continuity problems with their respective characters' established history (at least as it pertains to the Alien and Predator films), I really don't see it being an issue. For one, the space jockey's ship in the original Alien movie could well have been a cargo ship delivering the Alien eggs to the Predator planet as part of some 'commercial trade' between the two species. Of course, the two species could also have been involved in a war and these were the 'biological weapons' developed by the space jockey's race. Mr. Anderson also mentions that the predators may have been responsible for the disappearance of many lost civilizations on earth when their alien hunts went awry and they were forced to detonate their self-destruct mechanisms. It would make complete sense if Lance Henrickson's character from the future Weyland-Yutani corporation acquired 'star maps' of the aliens location via hieroglyphics found on the inside of the mysterious pyramids. This leads me to believe that the pyramid and all traces of the aliens existence will be destroyed at the end of AVP. The "company" would eventually decipher the information contained in the hieroglyphics and would send many of its mining vessels (the Nostromo) out into those regions of space. As for people wanting to see Marines battling both species, Mr. Anderson clearly states that there are soldiers in the film because nobody wants to see just scientists caught in the middle of the action. I wish Paul W.S. Anderson all the best and I hope his love for the characters shines through in his work.

Paul Anderson, people at Fox, I and many others THANK YOU (sincerely) And everyone who thinks this movie will be bad...go Fuck YOURSELVES
Comment: Listen, I love Alien and I love Predator...I have been wanting this movie to happen for a long time. And I ask you WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PROBLEM WITH IT? The poster looks amazing, the teaser looks awsome and Paul Andersons description and design work for the film look so cool. What the fuck do you homos want? A fucking in depth love story/murder mystery/buttfuck queer movie with different "levels"...NO you're getting what Paul Anderson said;Aliens, Predators, cool weapons cool setting, cool machine gun toting military troops and scientists...granted Soldier kinda blew but his other movies were good, and since Paul Anderson is a big fan of both of these characters I think everyone should cut him a break, and go suck a goat cock...honestly, this movie will be amazing, and you'll all eat shit when it comes out and regret ever saying anything bad about it!

How can anybody think PA`s movies are good. I`m sorry but please look up the definition of good. They are average in the worst type of way. His films are a waste of the potential they could be. he scripts have no edge, imagination or excitement to them. the visuals look pretty but aren:t striking in any way. Shopping was nothing special and he has continued the trend ever since. He seems like a nice enough guy, but he should be a DP not a director. hell, look at the yellow shirt he was wearing in the featurette over on apple. no taste and there was nothing in his voice to suggest he is pumped for this project. for the studio this guy is just someone who can churn em out and make a bit of a profit. that:s it for me. so i guess i gotta go fuck myself now. down with the pants...
-
... sending out a teaser when they only have shot - appearantly - some 2nd unit stuff? A decent teaser shows some more than guys in costumes in extreme close-up. Okay, the teaser has a dark atmosphere, but I think nothing of this will be reflected in the finished film. In the end, the teaser will be the artistic highlight of the production. Cherish it.

Which is to say, not at all. And Mr. Anderson has nothing to do with it. It's the basic premise. Steven Spielberg couldn't make this dog roll over. Throw in Abbott & Costello and it's a casserole.

I know Fox is the studio behind this, but I know Warners somehow had a hand in this.

First off, to the cat who keeps belowing about the movie being set on Earth; yer a scifi fan, right? Then you probably know a good deal of science fiction literature and movies take place right here on Earth. Rriiight. I don't like it anymore than you do, and would prefer this event occured on another planet. But the fact that the movie is going to be a reality, makes this concern seem superficial. What the hell ever, I say. If the damn thing is better than the last two Alien sequels, all will be forgiven. I could be wrong, but it the seems a lot of people are getting worked up over something less than half of you fully understand (ignorant comments do not inspire me to take stock in anything you say), and vitually all of us have no control over. 'Less you count the studs who say, "The theater won't be gettin' none of my $$!" Rock on with ya bad self, you geek-ass-bastard-messiah!! Show the light to the rest of us poor, deluded masses. Pretentious pricks. Don't wanna smell ya in my cinema anyway. You may have picked up on some hostility here (then again, some of you lot wouldn't pick up on a fuckin' taser to yer arses), and that's because this is the third or fourth talkback I've been to where a whole flock of queerwads start slaggin' an upcoming project. What the hell is the deal? Tough times at the Psychic Friends Network? Smug, superior attitudes aside, ya'all mofos don't know shit! Wait until the damn thing comes out. Then at least, I'll have to buy that whole "I've seen it, and it is, in my esteemed opinion, an inferior piece of work"-line of cocksnot. I am interested in this topic, because like a lot of you, I loved Alien, Aliens, and Predator, and the Dark Horse comics miniseries that first chronicled this clash of scifi/horror titans in the early 90s. As cool as the Predators are, I always kinda rooted for the Xenomorphs, cuz vile as they are, they were just so damn sleek and wicked. I'm aware of the video games, but to me they just don't seem to factor into things. This is a pretty basic story, and yeah, it'd be a damn shame if they screw things up, because the possibilities are awesome. So, for the record, I'm anticipating a success. That is, if rest of the world isn't as jaded as some folk here.

I'm a very logical, thinking individual, most of the time. Perhaps I just don't get it. And don't get me wrong here, I'm not being a smatass; quite the opposite , actually. As I said, I'm just a fan, Heaven help me. It doesn't "add up" as easily for me. This movie will suck, based on... what? There are those who dislike the director, not quite sure what that's all about. Lack of originality...? What has been revealed about the script doesn't sound appealing? Hey, any of those sound like good reasons to be leery. Sorry, what I see is people dismissing something out of hand, it can be a bit dispiriting. There's something to be said for caution, though.

Alien Resurrection was 50 times better than anything Paul "Worth
by black monarch
Really, Alien Res had a lot of really good stuff in it. Everything looked like shit, but the story was incredibly good. However, Paul Anderson's movies have sucked more dick than the vacuum cleaner from Scary Movie. Mortal Kombat, Resident Evil, Event Horizon, all total and complete shit. The Alien movies deserve a better ending than this. The Alien movies deserve redemption at the hands of James Cameron and Joss Whedon, not descent into shittiness at the hands of the guy who made [i]Mortal fucking Kombat[/i]. The fact that I will not see this movie is about as comforting as knowing that I will not have to watch my cat as she gets ground into hamburger

if you want to see real scripts, check out the previous AvsP forum: there are loads are much better ideas. Some even by me : )
