Title: Why Gunnison?
Post by: The Runner on Feb 20, 2012, 11:59:23 PM
Why did the producers pick Gunnison Colorado specifically? What made them pick that one small town in Colorado?


Were there any other places intended for AVP:R?

Originally it was going to be set in Texas but they changed it to Gunnison I think because Jon Davis suggested it. He's from there apparently. That's the only reason I can give you.

I'll add to the question because I've never found the stomach to actually watch anything about the making of AvP:R..  ;D
...was it actually filmed in Gunnison?

Honestly I can't remember what part of Texas the original script took place in. I only read that script once because it was so bad.

The Strauses looked on a map and was looking for a place with a cool name. They found Gunnison, and Gunnison found hell.

How many scripts were there in total??
Title: Re: Why Gunnison?
Post by: Gosutoraida on Feb 21, 2012, 05:41:29 PM
In the AVP:R special features, I think one of the guys said there was about three or four scripts.

It really wouldn't surprise me. :laugh:  Gunnison seemed entertaining enough, especially since I live in Colorado, but really they didn't seem to focus on the locale much.  Besides Wolf running around in the forest, they really could've put it in any small town for most of the film.

A desert would've been a little creepier, harsher, maybe.

I think the Texas script might of been quite interesting...especially the Wal-Mart battle. Didn't wolf get killed at the end by a pair of aliens???

If it was.central Texas there are plenty of people with guns and cows  to be facehugged

It was Super K-Mart!!! :D It was just a horrid screenplay with some moments that were cool. The Predator was killed at the end but it wasn't just two aliens I think it was a whole lot of them. They tear him to shreds. Now that part I did like.

How did they rid the Aliens without Wolf at the end being dead.

Blew the town up. And that's how the script ended.

Wait, Gunnison is a real town? :o

What? I always thought that in the older scripts, Chet was to be killed in the crash.
Title: Re: Why Gunnison?
Post by: The Runner on Feb 22, 2012, 05:39:24 PM
Yes but its nothing like in the movie


Wasn't there a rumor I swore I heard that AVP:R would take place at Mall of Americas?

No it was killed by a predator before the crash. The script is in the download section of the AvP R section. If you think the movie is bad wait till you read this.

Any Aliens killing and eating longhorns? :P


I do say the Salerno script sounds like it has more action. And at least it had a Dog Bursting :P

The horrors of reading the script. But the joy of laughing at random bullshit with Aliens and Predators in the midst!

Oh No! I haven't read it yet, just thinking in my mind what random crap im gonna be reading soon. Since AVP:R was released, anything imaginable is reality to Alien and Predator.

They should've made it Las Vegas, would've improved the movie if Wolf had turned up at a Wayne Newton show and blown him into pieces.
