Will Fox attempt to create an Alien/Predator cinematic universe?

[That Yellow Alien]

The fact of the matter is this; the Predator is just a drag on the Alien. There's only room for one sexy ultimate killing machine monster in this universe.

Hence why they must fight.

On direct to home DVD.

"There's room for only ONE monster in this town, you ugly son of a bitch!"

Chocolate cookie if you get the reference.

Never had a chance for that cookie. 

Although to be serious but for a moment, avp probably is a dvd series. It works for DC. An animated aliens vs predator series could be successful.

Batman vs Superman also just worked for DC theatrically, so ...

It's a quote that the Scarface Predator says in Concrete Jungle. 

As for AvP being straight to DVD, I think it'd be cool if they did some animated straight to DVD releases such as the ones DC does. It can be gory like Dead Space was.

[whiterabbit]

Yea, I don't understand why animated direct to dvd avp movies have never been made. It couldn't be that much of a risk now could it?

[Corporal Hicks]

I've been saying that since AvP Extinction and those cut scenes!

[SiL]

Because they're still film productions. They cost money (and if the best you're asking for is Dead Space quality I'd just as soon have nothing).

DC had animated series for a long time before they had their animated films. They knew there was an audience, and some of the earlier films were just compilations of several episodes strung together. Fox doesn't have that guarantee that there's a market in the AvP space for this kind of stuff so for them it's just as much a risk as a live action film.

[genocyber]

Well if you haven't noticed, the AVP movie were a cinematic shared universe. A failed one, but one nonetheless.

[TheBATMAN]

He's doing the next three Alien movies and is executive producer of the Alien films. He's not involved in the upcoming Predator film.

If Fox decides they want to do AvP again they're not going to give much of a shit about Scott's input unless he says he wants to participate.

It's obvious Fox will not do AVP again when Scott has committed to making three more Alien pictures, that's kind of the point.

[SiL]

They might not do them while he's working on them, sure. After that, who knows.

[THE CITY HUNTER]

Just hope it will be a good AVP.

Of course. How much in comparison though? In general. Unless they're trying to do something incredibly stupid like The Spirit Within, I would have thought they'd be substanially cheaper.

They are much lower risk than a full blown movie unless it is your money I suppose but most important of all, how will they know if they don't at least try? Ok, since I'm not a comic book guy, how well does AVP comics do? Do stand alone alien comics etc do well?

Plus isn't most animated direct to home movies less than 5 million? Yea sure, 5m is 5m but I think they could make a decent AVP movie for less than that. Maybe 3 million. Isn't it worth a try?
