ALIENS! PREDATOR! ALIENS VS. PREDATOR! First still from the sequel!!!

Published at:  Jan 15, 2007 4:51:48 PM CST

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I really want to be excited about an Alien Vs. Predator movie, a movie I've wanted see since before my voice broke. Paul WS Anderson's wankfest shattered my dreams and reading the early script for AVP2 made Anderson's movie look like Ridley Scott's. Although, at least the AVP2 script was so laughably bad, we might have gotten a good comedy out of it. Then I heard the directors who came on board changed the script up. Hopefully it's now a watchable movie and not just tidied up enough so it's just bad and not laughably bad.

The still below (from movie-infos.de and confirmed by AvPGalaxy.com) should have me geeking out, but I can't really muster any emotion over it. What about you?

    My wife still doesn't forgive for dragging her to that in the theater. Nor can I forgive myself, although the climactic battle was almost pretty good. This and Rob Cumming's Halloween:The Butcher Boy Years should be cancelled and the money funneled to David Lynch so he can do Ronnie Rocket before he dies.

    and THIS is what colin strause has to say about those that dont like the picture:

    On set photo's are never taken from the correct lighting angle because they are working around our motion picture camera, so this will make the photos not look as good as the final movie. They are too front lit, too bright, and might be missing all of the slime on the creatures because the photos are usually taken in-between takes.

    by taintyourwagon

    this will still suck because there will be humans in it. the only way an AvP flick could be interesting or new and different is if they set this on either a world that aliens took over that is devistated or on the predator homeworld. putting some weakass team up between preds and humans will kill this baby. now a fully no word having, subtitles for the preds vs. aliens, that would be the shit. who wouldn't pay to see that?

    by hesh monster

    At least the predator looks less like a 7 foot american footballer who uses steroid and the alien design harks back to Aliens which I have to say was the best of the lot. So lets hope this film rocks half as much as Camerons movie.Although how have they 'changed' the story from what was leaked last year?

    by dynamixro

    So I'll be watching(downloading actually) this sequel just for her.

    The problem with AVP(besides bringing the Alien to Earth in our present time, which is just plain wrong) is that it wanted to be a big movie, which was impossible considering the director, no-name actors and that lame script. Maybe this time, when expectations are much lower, they'll serve up something decent.

    @DarthDooku> Aliens is one of the best sequels and action-scifi movies ever made. Period. Also, the first Alien movie came out in the 70's and is still fun to watch, so give it some credit.

I hope they don't shake the carmera too much to hide these suits ...You would think these films would be going in the direction of Starship Troopers as in BIG SPACE EPICS ON ALIEN HOMEWORLD instead of Critters/Spaced Invaders SMALL TOWN VS SPACE MONSTERS IN THE WOODS.

    by odysseus

    ...killing the sense of mystery and awe these creatures once had. ALIEN is the movie that got me interested in being a filmmaker (even more than Star Wars). It makes you feel like you're way out there in deep space with a strange creature that is monstrous yet believable. Now... I've seen too much of the damned thing(s). This makes me feel the way recent episodes of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA do when they give us too much of a glimpse behind the Cylon curtain: the bad guys lose much of their power.

    "Alien VS Predator" was a stupid, franchise-ruining, suspension-of-disbelief-shattering concept even at the graphic novel stage. The fact that somebody who owns the rights to the "Alien" property even allowed this abomination to happen is evidence that the film industry, in Hollywood at least, has truly become akin to a dollar bill wedged into a steaming rancid dogshit.

    by performingmonkey

    It makes me ill thinking about Alien vs Predator. Could things actually get worse than Alien Resurrection? er, yes, quite a lot worse. I know I usually rip the shit out of Whedon but at least he CAN write so there are morsels of merit in Resurrection, unlike the shit of AvP. This sequel is ONLY a moneymaker. When something is made for money and nothing else then it is destined for the toilet. And to think there was once a prospect of a Cameron-penned, Scott-directed final Alien installment. Now that's impossible because the Alien franchise is officially a joke. It was still good after Alien 3 because Fincher went dark and fucked-up (check out the much better extended cut of that on the DVD set if you haven't) and he didn't set out to make the movie where everyone is going to see it because Aliens are 'cool' (i.e. Resurrection and AvP). Bringing Ripley back through cloning was just about acceptable, if only for the part which Whedon must have been phsl at for days where they're supposed to be teaching Ripley how to speak and they say 'fork' and she says 'fuck', it's then that you know she's back. Anyhow...please, NO-ONE GO TO SEE THIS!!!! Then maybe they'll fucking learn.

    aliens take some aspects of their hosts--

    by dahauk

    --the dog-alien of #3, the aquatic-aliens with fins on their tails later in the series. This one apparently is part prawn. As someone who owns an Alien head mask from the second film, i'm saying this costume head is real different, and not in a good way. But it's true, we rarely get an extended shot on film of the aliens and lighting and camera angle could make or break the believability of the creatures. The makeup/costume creations in all the films were top rate. I remember seeing a streaming video on the web (I think it was then alien maker Gilland's) of a test of an alien suit as shot from inside a warehouse door looking out the door to a full figure alien turning around in place--they had the backwards-bending jointed legs (like a dog or deer) with a support wire from mid back going up out of frame, and it's the best alien on film shot i've ever seen...the shape of the legs made it really different and less like a guy in a suit.

    Why all the negativity????

    by gibsonusa returns

    Nobody can deny that its crazy how big of an audience there is for this. The first one sucked but still made $80 million. People love Alien. People love Predator. Period. And Alien vs. Predator is an automatically kickass concept in just about everyone's minds.
    It's crazy how long it took for Predator to re-emerge on the big screen. The fandom for that character is enormous...I couldn't believe we didn't get Predator 3 in the 90s despite the disappointing Predator 2. Just the mention of his return in AVP made me buy a ticket. And many others too I'm sure.
    People like to position the Alien franchise as better/superior to Predator. Pshhh, whatever. The last two Alien movies before AVP sucked just as hard as Predator 2. Both franchises were already on the rocks when AVP was released.

    ...but it was a god-awful sequel. While I like the story and characters, it was a poor follow-up to the action-packed second movie. And killing off all the characters from Aliens was a dumb-ass way to start the second film. Hell, I always thought they could have at least said "it's too dangerous to revive Kicks and Newt, so we'll leave them in status until the rescue ship arrives." That would have gotten rid of the characters without killing them off. I just wish that the script was taken and made into a non-"Alien" franchise science fiction film.

    Alien and Predator? A sci-fi series with 4 and 2 movies, respectively, and then a bunch of comics and videogames? This is something you require "smart, adult" opinions on? Grow up. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I happen to think that the AVP premise has promise.

    by doublefantasy

    I feel... completely underwhelmed. It'll take more than this picture to get me excited after the last rapefest that was AVP. And i see by this picture the aliens are now in even less realistic suits than the first AVP movie. Despite the first film being god awful the aliens were very realistic with a blend of cgi and suit but this looks terrible and i know this is just a production photo but my god. the predator's look is more like the first predator film and you can tell the face underneath is more like the original but still... itll take a lot more than that to get me excited about this...

    Because no one else will say it

    by yautja

    I loved the first AVP. Yeah, I know I'm a tasteless unintelligent miserable excuse for a human being because my opinion's different from yours and therefore I don't deserve to express my opinion but I'm going to try out that whole free will thing anyway and see how it goes.
    When I first heard about AVP being set in the present and in the arctic I expected it to be terrible. I agree with everyone here that AVP should be set in space in the Aliens timeline. But I was surprised that I actually liked the movie. I'm not saying it was perfect. The characters weren't very memorable. The Predators did look kind of off in a way that I'm not really sure I can describe (The general consensus is that they're too big, but their proportions are actually pretty sound). The movie moved too fast and the only character I really liked who made a point of bringing a gun, died quickly without ever getting to use it. Also the action scenes contained too much shaky camera motions to make it look more intense but really just make it hard to follow.
    That said, I still really like the movie. I loved the way it explained the origin of Weyland-Yutani. The aliens looked great and I loved the idea of the hero alien. And it really felt to me like it kept the spirit of the comics and games as well as the movies.
    Like I said, it's not perfect but I loved it anyway.
    Now when I heard about AVP2 I got excited at the idea of finally getting the movie that we should have got in the first place. Than I heard about the Kmart thing and my heart sank. This sounds like such a generic small town thriller movie filled with a cast of characters ranging through all the different adolescent cliches you can think of. But, then again I could be wrong. The alien films have always hinted at the idea of what would happen if they made it to earth and now maybe we'll finally see. I doubt it but then again I thought I would hate the first one too.

    About the head...

    by veebeeyes

    Yeah, it's pretty weird looking. Not that I really care too much about that. Because James Cameron GREATLY changed the Alien head in Aliens, though I very much doubt that that had anything to do with a deliberate attempt to portray them as Alien Warriors rather than Alien Drones. Mostly because if he was deliberately trying to introduce a new class of Alien, then we should have seen BOTH Alien classes (or "castes" would work better, I think).

    So no, the difference in the Alien's appearance between the first and secon movies isn;t an attempt to distinguish the Alien Warriors from the Alien Drones. If that were the case, you'd expect there to be at least a small percetage of Aliens in Aliens that look like the Original Alien. I think James Cameron just changed the design because he thought it looked cooler.

    And I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure I remember saying that on one of the commentaries on Aliens. I probably am wrong, but that's what I remember.

    But if I am right, then I don't have a problem with the look of the Alien's HEAD. James Cameron changed the Aliens head and the movie still turned out great. The movie was so great tat I didn't notice the difference. And I didn't care that there was no logical reason for making the Aliens so different.

    But I DO care about the fat neck. Because the fat neck isn't an artistic decision. The neck is fat because there is a human head stuck in it. Same thing as in other Alien movies. So I'm not THAT concerned about it, though I hope they fix it later. Because the Aliens in other movies had human heads stuck in their necks, but I don't recall ever watching Aliens and thinking "damn, that Alien's neck looks too fat." And believe me, I would have noticed because I've literally watched Aliens about 150 times. Yeah, I'm a sad bastard, but I love that movie.

    The Alien series is one of the finer cycles in cinema history. How many other series, especially those ostensibly in the horror genre can claim 4 entries that more or less go without repeating themselves? Also, look at the talent involved. Every single director of an Alien movie has gone on to do Oscar nominated work. I think 3 of the 4 have even won! You know you're in good company when David Fincher is the underachiever of the group. Also, Alien is an excellent science fiction film that played as a legitimate counterpoint to 2001:ASO and Star Wars. Aliens set the template for the modern action epic and say what you will about Alien3, but it has been hugely influential in the detached nihilistic filmmaking style that has become dominant today. Alien Resurrection was...well, I honestly think that everyone involved was trying to do more than cash in (Fox aside).

    Alien has a fat neck!

    by docpazuzu

    Venom has lips! And baggy chaps! Surfer is too silver! And has pupils! Optimus has flames! Superman's cape is too maroon! Predators are too fat and too gianty-dwarfish! ....... This is why I love/hate you bitches so dearly and why I'm addicted to AICN TB. Damn you, talkbackers! Seriously though, the alien suit in that shot is a "stunt suit" used for action scenes, hence the "fat neck" allowing Gillis's head to fit and the hands with "stuck-together" fingers so they can grip easily without digits being bent into hilariously impossible directions during the struggle. It's true. If you're as sad as I am and have watched every fucking minute of extra material on that mind-boggling Alien Quadrilogy DVD set (not to mention the AvP docs) then there are several moments of behind the scenes footage with guys prepping an action shot and there's ol' fat neck waiting for the call. Seriously, the design of the Aliens is the least thing you need to worry about in this movie. How about fucking K-Mart and a brooding yet sensitive Texas tough guy character with the name "Dallas Howard"? That's some scary shit right there.

    I was hoping the original Alien Vs Predator was going to be a Midnight Run-style buddy comedy, where the the Alien and the Predator travel cross country by various means of transportation. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered it was a mediocre action film! Where was the hilarious De Niro/Grodin comical interplay between Alien and Predator? Why was the Alien not pestering the Predator about his smoking? Also, why did neither of them threaten to stuff the other in a sack and beat him with a rubber hose? So many missed opportunities.Oh, well. At least I have this sequel to look forward to now. I am sure these talented film makers will not make the same mistake twice. If I'm lucky, maybe they'll get Bruce Campbell to guest star as special agent Alonzo Moseley.

    Remember that, and they said "Oh it was a very early draft and things have changed". Every single main point from that script review was in the final movie I saw. It doesn't sound like they made any changes to this script either.
    Also. Remember the back story on Alien Vs Predator with the Aztec's or whoever they where worshipping the Predator's as gods? Why not have just made that as the entire first movie? An ancient civilization. Have the rituals and have them completely over run. It could have started off real slow and arty with the primitives and then build in the Alien/Predator elements.

Instead of trying for cool action sequences, maybe the film should be an hour and a half of an Alien and a Predator squabbling and fighting like school kids in a convenience store. They'll kick each other in the shins, maybe one gets the other in a headlock, one of them is bound to say 'not in the balls!' at some point, salty snack treats will be falling all over the floor.

    It was a novella type thingy with some great art and it appeared in the Aliens comics - basically about a team of professional bug hunters who go around destroying alien nests in a future where the aliens have spread across the galaxy. Great characters, especially an armoured plated psycho with bazookas for arms called 'shitkicker' who basically kills everything in his way - aliens, people, cute bunnies - he don't give a fuck.

    Just like in the Dark Horse series. The Yautja don't hunt Aliens and humans on the same hunt; the Hard Meat (Aliens) are the prey, and the young Predators can use every weapon they've got.

    Yeah, "Man In Suit", big time! Looka that rubber!
    Make a good Halloween costume though. I watched about 5 minutes of AVP1 and vowed I would never finish it. It would take a pot of gold to make me watch 2.

    Question:Why don't I care about this?

    by inwosuxred

    Answer:The last one. If this gets a wide release, it will maybe bring in $30 million. AVP is such a notoriously horrible movie, nobody is going to pay to see this thing. I couldn't even watch the first one for free on cable, why would I pay to see a movie I would most likely walk out of? Why would YOU pay to see this? If you pay to see this, you probably also pay hookers to kick you in the balls.

    AVP2 synopsis

    by kafka07

    Alien says something bad about Predator's mom. Predator grabs Alien by neck. Predator shoots Alien in face. Acid splatters and melts off Predator's arm. That's pretty much it.

    No Humans

    by kafka07

    I liked taintyourwagon's idea: no humans. Plus, they should get Mel Gibson to direct it and have the dialogue be in some ancient alien language. How the filmmakers would translate it into English for the subtitles, I don't know. That's what them there scientist types are for. Bring on AVP2! Yee Haw!

    but instead just focus on the human stories, after all, that's what you want to see when you watch these movies. Maybe have a young son and dad go and pick out a car, perhaps yellow, but not a bug.

They should just let these movies die and be forgotten so that when I achieve my filmmaking goals, I'll be able to bring an AvP to the screen that'll kick everyone's ass. Even Scott, Cameron and McTiernan will be like, "holy shit, you are a God."

    Resigned

    by cobbio

    AVP was so horrible for me that it soured my feelings about Aliens AND Predators. Seriously, Paul "Weak Sauce" Anderson, as much as he wanted to do the right thing, really ruined the entire universe for both franchises.
    What the fuck was up with him introducing Predators as godlike rulers of Earth thousands of years ago? Aside from being a stupid, overblown, shithead idea, it also absolutely shatters the mythology put forth in the previous Predator films. So many other avenues could've been explored, so many other dramas and harrowing experiences. But NOOOO! Weak Sauce decided he had to put his geeky, bullshit, PG-13 stamp on both franchises at once, thus ruining any future Alien or Predator movies for me.
    I agree with Quint. This image gives me no emotion at all.

    I think people stopped caring after the first AvP. I know I did. Unless Mel Gibson seriously considers directing a human-less AvP movie, I will probably never really get excited again for an AvP movie. And with that thought, I will probably STILL be at the theater on opening night for AvP 2. Sad, I know.

    The chances of Gibson as director...

    by cellar door

    are somewhere between 'not likely' and 'no way in freaking hell!!'. Seriously...as much as the AvP idea ,pre-Anderson atrocity, has pure geek merit, Weaver said it best...when she was asked if she liked to be involved..without even reading a script she said it sounded "Dreadful". And AvP pretty much raped the pooch forever...even a "re-imaginging" is bound to be tainted. OH snap! I used "taint" in a sentence!!! Awesome!

    My take on this

    by brianusn

    Being a fan of Aliens and Predator both, I loved Alien, Aliens. Predator was also a favorite, Predator 2 was also good. Alien 3, I hated it. It ruined it for me. At the end of Aliens, the queen detached her egg sac and chased Ripley and Newt to the platform. She got aboard the ship. When did she have time too run into the sleeping chambers to deposit her egg? And if there was another Alien onboard the Suluco, how the hell did it get there? It was a stupid beginning and when I saw it, I knew the movie was going to suck ass. I also hated Resurrection. The special effects were garbage. They made the eggs look like crap. They would pulse, open, and close as if the eggs themselves were alive looking like muppet eggs. The story sucked ass. Honestly, why not let Ripley just die and move onto a different plot. And I don’t even want to talk about the Ripley/Baby Alien garbage. AVP also sucked. Antarctica? I WANT OUTER SPACE! If you were going to put Aliens on Earth, make them overrun it. I thought the books were good, they should of used that instead of this thrown together piece of crap. PG-13!? This pissed me off the most. I get more blood and gore from the SCI-FI channel than this shit.
    Looking at the picture, I am glad they decided to use the Alien from Aliens. And yes, they are Warrior Aliens, that’s why they are different looking. The only thing that pisses me off about this is THEY ARE ON EARTH AGAIN WTF! We need OUTER SPACE! I still want to see the Predator planet. I still want to see what happened to the Alien from the first alien movie that crash landed on LV-426 carrying the alien eggs. I want blood, guts, sneaky aliens, bad ass predators. GET IT RIGHT YOU IDIOTS. Read what the fans want and run with it. Your ideas blow ass. Money isn’t everything. Seriouslly I would of rather watched Cedrick the Entertainers “The Cleaner” than a screwed up, money grubbing AVP2.
