I was just doing some searches on Google and came across an actor's website. Jason Rickey will be playing an E.R. Trauma Doctor in AvP2 according to his official site. So I guess that means there'll be a scene in a hospital. Not surprising, I guess a lot of people will be getting hurt after the Aliens are ... [Read More]
I have to admit, AvP2 news has been pretty scarce this month. Anyway, a new cast member has been added to IMDB's AvP2 page. Chelah Horsdal will be playing a character called Darcy Benson, apparently. Never heard of her myself> ... though that can be said for most cast members in AvP2. :wink: She's ... [Read More]
There's a new article on CGSociety about the editing in AvP2. Most of it goes way over my head, it's very technical. They talk about the crew using AJA KONA 3 and Apple Final Cut Pro to edit the movie.
"The Alien vs. Predator 2 editorial team modified their existing workflow to integrate with the pipeline at visual ... [Read More]
Saw this last week but I didn't think it was relevant. How wrong I was. AliensOnline posted Spanish covers of the Alien Resurrection and Predator 2 definitive edition dvds. What's interesting is that the Predator used for the P2 cover resembles the one in AvP2, don't you think?
I thought it was the one from Predator 2 or ... [Read More]
Some worrying news. There's an article over at MSNBC about the least anticipated movies of 2007. AvP2 is listed fourth, right under Fantastic Four 2. :angry:
"I love it when a movie feels the need to name itself twice in the same title. Like the audience is so lazy they won’t be able to bother themselves to ... [Read More]
Seems there will be some form of advanced preview of AvP2 at this years Fangoria's Weekend of Horror Convention. The convention takes place for three days - May 18-20, 2007 at Burbank’s Marriott Airport Hilton.
"The convention will also host a costume contest, dessert party (free and open to Gold and Silver customers only), giant dealers’ marketplace, FANGORIA TV ... [Read More]
I was reading an interesting article this morning on Bloody Disgusting about the MPAA creating a new rating called "Hard R". I guess for us non-Americans, the idea is to re-create the NC17 rating but without the negative impact on marketing. i.e. NC17 has a bad rep with cinemas and video stores like Blockbuster refuse to stock them.
"The ... [Read More]
Hot Toy's are once again in the figure spotlight, this time with their highly awaited posable Power Loader:
"Sideshow Collectibles and Hot Toys are proud to bring you the first ever 1:6 scale Power Loader collectible, produced as fully-poseable model kit. The Power Loader is large enough to fit a 12-inch figure inside, true to 1:6 scale, and includes an electronic ... [Read More]
Something I'm curious about and I imagine a lot of people are too. AvP2 co-director Colin Strause commented on the running time of AvP2 on the IMDB Boards.
"You can't force a time onto a movie, otherwise it will drag. That said, the length of Predator is good for that type of movie, so I'm sure we will ... [Read More]
I remember when McFarlanes was the talk of the town, but now it seems Hot Toys are taking over as the prime Alien vs Predator figure makers. Figures.com recently posted up a review for Hot Toys' new figure, the Ancient Predator:
"The Predators look phenomenal. Judging them as poseable model kits or action figures, they are probably the ... [Read More]
Just finished another article this week. Alien/Predator Parodies in other tv shows. Sure, there's probably a million of them but I've only included ones that I've seen for myself so I'm sure the page will get updated over time. I've also uploaded video clips of all the animated parodies on that page too.
Be sure to download The Simpsons Clip ... [Read More]
Looks like ReelzChannel have done a new segment on AvP2: "The Special Effects of AvP2". They went to the ADI Studio and talked with the guys behind the special effects, Tom Woodruff and Alec Gillis. This is more of a general featurette until the very end when they talk about AvP2. They say because of the story ... [Read More]
