Alien V Predator 2 : Survival Of the Fittest
 

Found a report on this earlier today:
http://www.horror-movies.ca/horror_6571.html

It was posted originally in September so , I don't know if this is old news to you guys.

According to the site, casting has already been done; it should be out sometime in December of next year and sees the Aliens again fight Preds, this time in modern America.

Shane Salerno got a million fucking buck to write this shit.
:mad:

$1,000,000.00 midwestern town?...humans caught in the middle?
Shit...how about Predator Vs. Batman...why the F would the two of them come together to fight on Earth?
I didn't disslike the first one...I loved the original Alien and Alien(s) II(not 3,4,?) as well as Pred I n II...personally think this has gone far enough though.

I htought it was terrible on all levels. not only was i persoanlly offended (which is hard) by a complete bastardization of 2 franchises i love, it was like Uwe Boll made a movie SUPER lossley based on the AvP comic. I thought it was lacking any redeamable qualities.

I read somethign where Jim Cameron said he thought it was not bad. Maybe it's a good thing he has taken a break from making movies...

Not only that, but ol'Jim said he ranked it 3rd in the Alien franchise...after Aliens and Alien! :eek:

:rolleyes:

WRONG!!!


I think i would definately get into an argument over that... It is dead fucking last, if it is even a llowed in the ranking. 3 was a good movie ( I love Fincher...) but i can understand Cameron not being a big fan, it's storyline taking a whopping dump on the end of his movie, but come ON! AvP is bad moviemaking if nothing else...

QUINT: I remember before Paul W.S. Anderson did ALIEN VS PREDATOR it came out that you kind of made an offer to do another ALIEN film with Ridley Scott...

JAMES CAMERON: Yeah. Ridley and I talked about doing another ALIEN film and I said to 20th Century Fox that I would develop a 5th ALIEN film. I started working on a story, I was working with another writer and Fox came back to me and said, "We've got this really good script for ALIEN VS PREDATOR and I got pretty upset. I said, "You do that you're going to kill the validity of the franchise in my mind." Because to me, that was FRANKENSTEIN MEETS WEREWOLF. It was Universal just taking their assets and starting to play them off against each other.

QUINT: Milking it, totally.

JAMES CAMERON: Milking it. So, I stopped work. Then I saw ALIEN VS PREDATOR and it was actually pretty good. (laughs) I think of the 5 ALIEN films, I'd rate it 3rd.

QUINT: Ummm...

JAMES CAMERON: I actually liked it. I actually liked it a lot.

QUINT: You know, I hate it when movies don't abide by the continuity of their series...

JAMES CAMERON: When they make up their own rules.

QUINT: Exactly. They did that a lot with the alien incubation time, where from egg to chestbuster it happened...

JAMES CAMERON: In minutes, yeah...

QUINT: That kind of stuff really pissed me off with the movie...

JAMES CAMERON: Well, it starts to become a video game. It's like, "Okay, that can be in him and that can show up over here..." It becomes more metaphorical or more comic book. I don't mean comic book in a negative way, I just mean that it's working at a kind of mythic, metaphoric level as opposed to really trying to immerse you in reality.

I mean, I felt when I was making ALIENS I think the same thing Ridley was doing with ALIEN, which is... "I'm going to make you think this is real." Even though it is completely ridiculous deep space adventure. We were going to make you feel like it's real. It's a question of does the film take itself seriously or not.

KRAKEN: So you still thinking about doing something with it?

JAMES CAMERON: No.

KRAKEN: If we promised you our first babies would you think about doing anything with it?

JAMES CAMERON: (laughs) Well, the other thing I've learned is that when you deal with a studio and it's their asset... it's their asset. And I should have learned that lesson with PLANET OF THE APES because I had a great... great idea with PLANET OF THE APES, but it was Fox's asset. Even though I was supposedly developing it we didn't see eye to eye and they sort of picked up their marbles and that was that. They turned out, I think, possibly the most egregious film that they could have on that subject because they miscast the director. It's the only Tim Burton film that I don't like.
