Finally the ALIEN VS PREDATOR trailer with Heavy Rock-n-Roll Guitar Riffs! RAWWWWK!!! sigh...
Hey folks, Harry here... I've been a nice boy to Paul W. S. Anderson in the past few months. I've become more and more optimistic that he'd risen to the challenge with ALIEN VS PREDATOR... I liked everything that I'd seen up until about 10 minutes ago, when I saw the new ALIEN VS PREDATOR trailer online. Now - ordinarily, I'd blame the heavy duty electrified rock-n-roll guitar riffs screaming out over the images on brain damaged marketing fools that think that somehow that's a logical mix. BUT - we're dealing with Paul W.S. Anderson and he's been known to go crazy with wildly unfitting music for his movies in the past. NOW - I'm gonna hope - this is one of those idiotic marketing executive choices and not Paul's... But this is the first sign of his usual apocalypse... that said... if you hit the mute button on your keyboard before clicking on the link below... It'll play exactly as you would hope the trailer for ALIEN VS PREDATOR would play... only silent. Here ya go...

All I can hope is that the storyline works. Knowing it probably won't is hard. Man, I wished someone else would've been given the greenlight to this...
-
I don't know what's wrong with the heavy guitar riff, I didn't mind it. I would have prefered it to be more suspenceful. I also was questioning the story line but as we get closer to release I am more hopefull.

The trailer looks great...no matter how much some of you might bitch....

Hey....so, it has some cool rock guitar goin' on.....this is where some of you need to relax a little and just stop being "Trekkie"-types, lol. The movie may be great, it may suck...we wont know until it comes out...but, i sure wont assume anything based on music played in a trailer. It's a sc-fi/horror/action flick, not highbrow drama. Yes, i know some will say "well, it doesnt flow with the integrity of the previous films, etc....sheesh. It's a MOVIE....lol....man, relax, chow some popcorn and take it for what it is.

by regicidal_maniac
I''ll be there opening day as I was for Aliens, Predator 2, Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection (I missed Predator at the cinema and I was only three when Alien came out but I have since caught all the films at the cinema in marathon reruns). This movie is going to be great and all I'm hoping is that it'll be better than AR and P2, if it is it's done its job. Bring on AVP2.

trailers that they want you to think is "action packed" and "edgy", but ends up being a quick cutting, zip pan, MTV edited piece of shite? Let the bodies hit the floor indeed. Why have the Movie studios developed Turettes and think that we're all idiots with 3 second attention spans?

by sod off baldric
It looks all right, and I loved the comics so I would really like to see a cool big screen version. Plus, I'm not totally anti-Anderson; I'm one of those dupes who actually dug "Event Horizon" (though the rest of his filmography is indeed crap), so I'm hoping he can pull of Aliens vs. Predator. Oh well, only time will tell. I do think the four foot-long wrist blade was kinda stupid, though.

Like Harry, I'd like to believe that some brain dead promo guy at Fox put the music to that trailer together, but I'm afraid it has all the hallmarks of Anderson - he must have picked that guitar riff from his own personal CD collection. Apart from that, its a good trailer but the trailers for Event Horizon and Soldier also had me hooked and they both turned out to be crapfests. But as for Paul Anderson, I agree that we should give the guy a break.Its obvious that he's is a fan of cool science fiction like Alien, Bladerunner and Terminator, and he aspires to make movies like those, but unfortunately he's not nearly as talented as a Ridley Scott or a James Cameron. Its not his fault, very few people are. The important thing is that he means well (he can't help it if studios keep hiring him - he's hardly going to turn them down). I know that AVP will be a forgettable summer popcorn movie, but hopfully it will be a good forgettable summer popcorn movie.

Sorry, Harry, but I thought that just kicked all kinds of ass! I'm looking at this movie as a comic book, action filled, mega monster madness. I think the "metal" was perfect to set the tone I'm hoping for. Rock on!!!

-
Actually, its spelled 'Winger'... and 'yes' their tasty riffs to this trailer are absolutely rockalicious. And by rockalicious I mean extremely crappy. I remember when a friend and myself went to see Resident Evil in the theatre on a Saturday afternoon with Siamese Hangovers between the two of us. The mish-mash placed heavy metal guitar riffs splashed across the movie like a Jackson Pollack painting were responded with giggling throughout (mostly from the two of us... possibly because we were tickling each other). Paul W. Anderson is to movies as Vanilla Ice is to rap... only with very tasty heavy metal guitar riffs. Also, after seeing this trailer, I just have to say that I think the 'fear factor' of these two alien icons is diminished quite a bit. And 'yes'... I know they're not real. But they're real IN HERE (I'm pointing to my heart..... only by accident, I'm pointing to the wrong side). I SAID GOOD DAY!!!
-
It's not like it's a "period piece" where electric guitars don't even exist. Like, say, "Kull The Conqueror", which sucked for many reasons, not least of which was wailing guitar music while men with swords and axes hacked at each other. Duh.
This looks like a rockin', chest-burstin', spear-gunnin' good time. Granted, if a Predator suddenly whips out a guitar and starts riffin' while his buddies kick some Alien ass, yeah, I'll worry, but the music otherwise does not seem appropriate. Of course, I'm takingthis movie to be more of an action/thriller/sc-fi than it being sci-fi foremost... I have no illusions about this being a "5th installment" in the Alien series, or a 2nd installment in the Predator series. This is a comic book movie. -
That line should have read "Does not seem inappopriate". Sorry about any confusion.
Oh, hey, Russman, that wasn't the end of the movie the trailer showed us, it was the *beginning*. Note that when the human excursion team finds the Alien/Predator hunting grounds/city with the pyramids, it's buried under ice in Antarctica, thousands of years later. FYI.
Oh, and Harry? Could you upgrade your server already? I'm sick of it taking all day to access your site because I keep getting "Page Not Found" errors. Seriously man, this shit sucks. -
I'm on your side Harry. To me, this music in the trailer means one of two things: (a) Our movie's not really that good, so we're going to disguise it with rock music; (b) we really have no idea what we're doing, so it's probably hit or miss, and we figure AvP equals rock music. I don't care if somebody thought this was a big action music so cue the rock music. If they've seen the previous movies in the series, it's full of suspense, not action. Yes, even Aliens. What's the best parts of the movie, the Marines shooting wildly and the Aliens killing mercilessly, or Ripley and Newt encountering the Alien Queen, or the Marines in sub-level 3 while their trackers are going apeshit but they can't see shit, or when the Marines are holed up in operations and the tracker's going wild and they suddenly realize the aliens are coming from above. I hope to God this kind of music isn't in the movie. Geez, Anderson must have watched Alien and said, "Good movie, but a bit with Dallas and Lambert bringing Kane back to the ship with Metallica's Enter Sandman playing over would have been so much better. How about some Rob Zombie while Ripley fighting the Queen with the power loader?" Whatever happened to the trailer properly demonstrating the flow of the movie? I hope it's not in this case, otherwise the movie's just one big crapfest with fighting and no actual story. These movies center on "interesting human characters," people. Kane, Parker, Ripley, Newt, Hicks, Hudson, Burke, Clemens, Dillon, Dutch (which is why Alien 4 has its problems, no interesting characters except for Ripley's clone, and she's a little too emotionless to be really interesting). So let's assume the trailer does represent the movie. Well here comes crapola, folks. I've never been so unenthusiastic for an Aliens movie. Sigh... Thank ZGod for the Alien Quatrilogy. I've going to go get this bad taste out of my mouth. The original Alien trailer. The only sound is the space jockey's transmission. That's the way it ought to be. Thus ends my longest rant in seven years at AICN.
-
It looks like they spent more on that wobbling alien lip than the sets and script. I am willing to be proved wrong, but i know it's just going to another Paul Anderson Turd.... Cheers Paul.

by jollydwarf
Harry, you have to know that any dumbed-down Tinseltown schlock that IS a romantic comedy has to have some sort of fourth derative of Meredith Brooks on vocals (remember her? the Courtney Cox-lookin' self-appointed "Bitch"?)in its trailer and anything that ISN'T has to have monotonous nu-metal riffage, because that's what the fucking inbred mooks in Middle America respond to. Oh, and that morbidly obese goth kid that resembles Aston Kutcher's friend from "The Butterfly Effect" that is secretly a sweetheart and works at a seedy (redundancy alert!) porn shop likes it, too. Basic guideline: if it sounds like Fred Durst would bang his head to it and/or bench press to it, it's a solid candidate for 'badass' trailer music. And in those rare circumstances when it's NOT a rip-off of a rip-off of Drowning Pool or a Linkin Pork instrumental, it's The Crystal Method. Process of elimination, y'see. The images were FAIRLY intriguing, despite the 'solid-state' amp-driven power chords.

by trench404
I now have some tiny speck of hope for this. Love the shot of the double length wrist blades extending, and the predator leap accross the chamber. Incidentally I didn't have a problem with the music either, suited the 'balls to the wall' style of the trailer. As long as Anderson doesn't get Marilyn Manson to do the soundtrack we'll be fine. Come on Paul, we've been waiting a long time for this one, don't mess it up.
-
They did not. You'll notice that the explosion happens on top of a pyramid in the middle of a city which is clearly not under ice. Even if the makers of this movie were stupid enough to try and make us believe the whole town would have been exposed like that by the scientists/archeologists/whoever, they surely wouldn't be stupid enough to make us believe the antartic snow would have dissapeared for the sake of the movie....my guess is this is a scene that would have happened way back in time on a previous visit of the predators
-
A while ago the rumours were flying that WS had made his predator's so ridiculously muscular that they looked gawd-awfull and embarassing, and further to that, that they were replacing a lot of Predator shots with CG. Well, I saw no evidence of CG predators, but I saw plenty of evidence of ridiculous look predators. Holy shit man, those are some shitty looking predators! I mean, the predator 2 predator was shitty, but these are some super shitty costumes. The enormous torsos? Those awful masks (what was wrong with the simple elegance and beauty of the original mask) Nope, I had no faith going into this project with WS, and everything I've seen has just hammered it home that While it's possible for some guy to make a fan film with kickass predators (Batman:Deadend) it seems impossible for a major hollywood production to do so.
-
Its clear theyre simply using this music to makes this film appeal to a generation of film goers who werent brought up with these films. Besides that...ITS A TRAILER.

It was shown on Access Hollywood last night and was fucking amazing. First, there was more dialogue and Alien/Predator footage including more shots of the Queen. Second, there was NO heavy metal music in it. I believe that this is the trailer that will be seen in theaters with RIDDICK today. What you have here is the clip that was cut for the MTV audience for last night's Movie Awards, similar to the GLADIATOR Superbowl promo that had a Kid Rock song playing in the background. I don't think there's any reason to worry.

You hate-tards are intentionally dumbing yourselves down even more than usual in order to facilitate a new round of whining. Since when does any temp music in a trailer with any certainty appear in the finished film it's advertising? Almost never, as you all very well know. You're attacking a film you haven't seen using an argument you could very well level at ANY film not yet on our screens. That's nothing but intellectual cowardice. Also, apart from Resident Evil (whose music score was excrutiating), could you please enlighten the TB as to which of Anderson's films suffered from poorly composed or wildly inappropriate music? As many problems as you may consider Soldier to have, the music can't possibly be one of them. Event Horizon had a teriffic score, besides. The rock track for this trailer is to lure cretinous, pothead teens to the cinemas this summer -- again, as you well know. It's not like we haven't seen that tactic before. Any "fan" of Alien or Predator who doesn't think this looks cool can kiss my ass. You people suck.
-
I actually had hopes before seeing this trailer. I still have hopes, but not for this movie.
I maintain that no single scene it the trailer had as much atmosphere or craft as ANY scene from Alien, Aliens or Predator. It just looks cheap and loud.

If it ain't metal, it's Crap!! And so is this trailer, regardless of what you think of the muzak. Apologies to H.O.H. fans.
-
I, for one, like the music. And the trailer. Yeah, it's cheezy as hell but it has a lot more excitement than the initial teaser that was shown. My only complaint is that everything looks too dark. Is this to hide just how shitty the costumes are? I remember hearing reports that the stuntmen inside the suits could hardly move around at all. As far as the heavy metal...hey, it's a summer flick with two warring aliens. I don't think we should expect John Williams.
-
If it's a release late summer and after August 10th, it's a dump. It looks to me like Fox is dumping this one.
-
I don't have any inside information about "AVP," but it seems to me that the Predators in the first two films were child or teenage Predators, not full warriors. I'm sure W.S. understands this, which is why the new Predators will be bigger, nastier, and more weapons-laden. The new Predators in this film are adults, not kids. That doesn't mean I'll dig this film, but it's a reason W.S. called for bigger, brawnier Predator suits.

by mansep
LAME. no doubt all the whingers will still go and see this film so Fox execs will still have smiles on their faces. But this just looks like a steaming pile of monkey turds. The colours, the lines, the music, the styling, the camerawork.... evrything is lowest common denominator crap. devoid of any soul or aspiration. Paul Andersons last chance for credibility has come and gone. Wise up fools and just say no.
-
Since when has a director who's not a fuckin superstar have a say in what's in the trailer. Del Toro didn't have a say for the Hellboy trailers.
This is made for teens. Teens who like nu-metal. And it works. It's actually a pretty kick ass trailer. And since when has Paul Anderson have a "history" of using inappropriate music in his films? Have you even heard the Event Horizon soundtrack? -
but I doubt it.
-
That blew. Shitty effects, no suspense, I agree, if you thought those "riffs" rocked you to the bone then you are a fucking nutcase. Do yourself a favor and don't bother watching the Alien movies because you will be sorely dissapointed, no nu metal must equal=suckage right fanboys? God, this is depressing... And now that I know P. anderson did Event horizon... I have no hope that was the worst "horror" movie of the year, hell the decade it came out. Pure shit. And keep in mind, I LIKED Resident Evil and its music! It fit, it worked for what it was. Nu metal shit does not work for aliens and predators. They deserve better. Unfortunatly the won't get it.
-
That trailer was sweet. The creatures have never looked better and it looks like they used a lot of practical effects with only a bit of CG tinkering. Can't wait. All Paul (Winning Storyteller) Anderson movies are better than the Matrix.
-
Wait till the Pokemon Generation comes of age. This film looks B-Grade at best.
-
The riff was really cliche. It needs the following:
(1) Use a D-tuned 7-string guitar, rather than standard tuning. Not enough crunch or bass for this kind of genre film.
(2) More tracks. The music is really thin; since it's simple syncopated 4/4, add a track with backwards guitar or a weird tuning and do a riff in 5/8
(3) Add a string section doing yet another dissonant riff doing 7/8.
Why? Because the music should tell the story underneath the images. Three races in conflict with each other.
Any of you with some guitar or synthesizer software should be able to whip this up pronto.
Well, that only took five minutes... -
Holy crap, those Predators were f'ckin BIG... the music fitted them very well! :)
-
I've been looking forward to this for a long time and hope it's good... but I'm not sure if I like all the changes to the Predators, like the mask and weapons... I know it makes sense that not every Predator is exactly the same, but I liked the simplified look of the original better...

As people have said before, it could've been worse; it could've been "Bodies". With that out of the way, despite standing up for Anderson many times in the past (I still make a stand that Resident Evil was more fun than anyone could've guessed), I thought from the second he was brought on that the guy was way over his head trying to do an Alien OR a Predator flick. Then I saw this trailer. And when it ended, I had a fucking grin on my face. At the very least, thats more than I could say for Alien Resurrection. I still have my doubts (especially about the human characters), but I would love nothing better than to see Paul Anderson finally step up and knock the ball out of the park on this thing....and now, there's just the tiniest glimmer of hope that it might happen.

by kampbell-kid
Go search for it on here if ya don't believe me. But I don't see the difference in terms of music and what else did you expect from a PA film other than something musicly geared to people who worship TVT records just like Stephen Sommers plays his tune to 12yo boys lookin for visual hardons. People need to stop whining about the same directors, topics, movies, etc over and over... we've had this discussion before.

Actually, the word is spelled WHINE. And someone WHINING is a WHINER.

AVP bring on the monsters, the merchandise and the sequels. Yes I am an Alien and Predator series slut. So sue me.

That's just an Apple Exclusive trailer. The REAL theatrical trailer is much, MUCH different, and features no heavy metal riffing whatsoever. Go see RIDDICK, and you'll see the real, bad ass trailer (and a shit load of Alien Queen shots). -NJM
-
And did you ever think about why Reznor and Lynch liked them? Do you think it was because they thought there was a very fun and almost kitchy sense to the style of music they made? Or maybe that the crazyness of The Lost Highway needed the absolute freaky German techno metal of Rammstien? See smart guy, this is about using appropriate music. Rammstien helped set The Lost Highway apart (as if it needed to be set MORE apart;), this shit just helps make it the same as everything else out there.

THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i mean we should know by now that this isn't going to have the class of Alien or Predator so just let that go and this thing will kick all ass!!!! -
obviously a bomb placed or dropped on the pyramid destroying all the aliens and predators?!

SPOILERS***No, that was not the end, it was the beginning of the movie.
-
I dont know if anyone else noticed the ending of the trailer but it kinda gives away the endiong of the film, 3 predators on top of the temple surrounded by shitloads of aliens then.....BOOOOMM!!!......hmmm interesting!!
-
too often trailer music barely even shows up in the actual movie...remeber the first spiderman trailer when the used "prodigy" or "fluke" forgot which both band was used... they both have "over used for trailers and soundtrack" songs...smackmy bitch up and atom bomb...never even showed up in the movie...then again maybe it was chemical bro's "can you trip like i do" dunno been a while
-
For the record, the music in the first Spiderman trailers was Lunatic Calm's "Leave You Far Behind".....it's mostly famous for being the song that plays (albeit, a remix) when Neo fights Morpheus in Matrix 1. And also for the record, I don't hate nu-metal.......it's just that there's very few bands that do anything decent with it (Sevendust, Apex Theory, and Stone Sour being very huge exceptions)....I don't even have a problem with it in trailers....I think a lot of the complaints come from people who want a change of pace every once in a while, especially from a series known for moody, creepy as hell trailers.....but, again, let's all keep in mind, 1, this trailer was made for MTV, and 2, the Chronicles of Riddick trailer apparently blows this one out of the water...and that does say something.
-
that was laughable
-
Just wondering why in the thousands of years since the predators were last there, when they had space travel n whatnot, that the only thing they've developed are slightly longer blades n slightly different costumes...hmm, n i wonder what the politics of their world wud b,can u imagine a predator that took the ghandi approach?or one that was worried about its kid's tuition fees...
I think the music was kinda generic for the genre ect, but it luks fair cool really. -
What the hell is the point of adding all the extra letters into something? You don't need a "U" in color or favorite. They still sound exactly the same. And what would be the point of adding a "G" to whine? Whine looks right. Whinge looks like "win-juh".

by baghutch
And about P.A. and the rock- I can't speak for any of the other movies he's made, but for Resident Evil the score was done with notes, chords, rhythems, and sounds that were meant to cause discomfort and disquiet in the viewer. Like it or not, it was deliberate. There are even some of us waiting for the 3 disc version with an ISOLATED score.

The functional thingy is true, i remember watching a programme about how the americans got rid of the extra letters just to make it easier to spell or something, but hey! Wouldn't 'color' be said like "colOR"? anyways!
Just wondering if whenever they're making a movie like this, do they consult the fanbase first, like ask them what sorta stuff they'd like to see? -

"The original Alien trailer. The only sound is the space jockey's transmission. That's the way it ought to be."
Is this the one with the eerie howling sound over the top of it? That is probably my favourite trailer of all time. No dialogue. No music. Just the impression of something terrifying and, well, alien. Superb. -
First off, this is going to be an Action flick. Not a suspense movie. It was never going to be, and it hasn't pretended to be. Its an action-flick and the music is completely apropriate. I hope he picked it himself, I really do.
Second, The blue explosion anihilating everything is at the beginning of the movie, not the end. Anyone who actually watched the featurettes on the main site knows that. -

This is the Freddy Vs Jason of 2004... Place your bets.
by psycho_kenshin
Just like Freddy Vs Jason last summer, AVP will be a dumb but awesome fanboy movie. Nothing wrong with that, and the music "roxx". Place your bets.
-
...And it'll be for the same reason that I went to see "Jason VS. Freddy," ...for the fun of it.
-
That's the start of the film, not the end. If you look at the first featurette they did - the one with Anderson talking about the pre-production, you'd know that they plan to start the movie with a pre-credit sequence where a bunch of Predators are fighting off thousands of Aliens from the top of a pyramid, where they eventually get overwhelmed and self-destruct.

N E 1 else seen the new full-length trailer in theaters?
by davidlee1978
As some guy down below said, there IS another new trailer for this movie, so I'm not sure everyone should make a big deal about the rock music in the MTV trailer. I saw the trailer that proceeded Chronicles of Riddick in theaters tonight, and it looked fantastic. Totally devoid of rock music as well. It had some classical music I didn't recognize (which isn't saying much), so perhaps they wrote their own score for this one. This trailer was also longer, with more dialogue. It takes no kahunas to sit on chat board and bash movies. A summer popcorn flick this maybe, but it's a summer popcorn flick I'll be first in line for! Kiss the rings, ya punk beitches, I'm out!

...Paul W. S. Anderson DOES make bad movies, it's true. What's going on here right now is a struggle on an epic scale over whether or not fans' desire to enjoy 'Aliens vs. Predator' will override their contempt for Anderson as a director and, with it, their common sense. Sure, in general, Paul Anderson gets verbally reamed every time his name is brought up in talkback, and, in general, people loathe his films, but since there's probably no reset button on this one, well, one might as well make the best of it, even if that means deluding oneself in the process. :-) Repeat after me: "Kickass! That scene was bad! I mean badASS, sorry."

by salvatoregravano
And, of course, Moronson's beeps turned out to be the worst part of that incredibly awful film. Obviously AnderSOB will fill this entry with antimusical Limp Corn noise, too. I don't really care, though... Alien, much like Highlander, is a closed entity, and there are no sequels to either of them.
Hmm, perhaps the choice of such "music" is Anderscum's deliberate choice? He wants the viewer to get a gigantic headache and think only of the pain of the noise, forgetting how horrible the rest of the film is. That's a pretty good for an Anderfuck; to make audiences even more distracted, he should install devices to pour liquid shit on seats in cinemas after the lights go off. Oh, sorry, I forgot - he already *does* pour liquid shit in cinemas, and that shit is always called "a Paul W. S. Anderson film".

Way to judge a movie before it's come out. Everything sucks doesn't it. Here is the AICN form post: "This _______, about which I know nothing, will suck." Harry should be so proud, he has taught you well.
-
If you looked on the International Movie Database then you would have noted that it shows: "Original Music by
Harald Kloser" who did the excellent score for "The Day After Tomorrow". If anyone had looked this up then the concern over the attrocious music used on the recent trailer could have been avoided. Anything, I guess, to badmouth Mr. Anderson. -
Jun 15, 2004 10:49:01 PM CDT
as far as music is concerned there is nothing to worry about
by tridentgums
here is an excerpt from an interview with paul anderson in ign:
IGNFF: So is Harald's music going to be orchestral or...
ANDERSON: It's going to be primarily orchestral, there won't be any source music in there. It'll be an orchestral score probably with a kind of a synth bed in some scenes. But it's very much along the line of the traditional scores that the Alien and Predator movies have had. It's not like we're going to cover the movie in techno music or anything like that. You know, this is a terrifying movie and it needs a terrifying, classic movie score to go with it; at the same time it's got huge action so it needs that kind of proper orchestral support.
IGNFF: Yeah, well I mean some techno is terrifying so...
ANDERSON: (Laughs.) Also one of things that Harald came to do is to work with a lot of high and low frequency noises as well. One of the things he likes to do (because he's done a lot of experimental stuff as well, which you won't find reflected in Roland's movie) is where he samples machinery and animal noises, things like that, and then works those natural and unnatural sounds into music. The idea is that what we'll get is something very, very unsettling.
