Paul W.S Anderson or The Strause Brothers for AVP3?

And he has made some decent [...] movies.

Lmao.

at least memorable

Event Horizon

You can have that one though.

[Nightmare Asylum]

David Twohy, despite his connection to Alien via his stab at Alien 3 pre-Fincher, strikes me as a guy that I'd really love to get a Predator movie out of, especially after really nailing that sort of pulpy tone in the 2013 Riddick.

AVP could also work from him, for sure, but something about Predator specifically seems like it'd be just the right fit for him.

I do agree that event horizon is his best work. Why couldn't he have this much talent when he's working on other films?

Agreed, and throwing PB into the mix is why I'd give him a shot at AvP in a heartbeat. Solo Predator film would be nice too though.

Either different crew to work with which can affect movie quality or his work as filmmaker just varies. Still, out of the two directors for a 3rd avp or a reboot, I would probably go for Paul, at least he has more experience and has had some decent movies.

[BlueMarsalis79]

What decent films exactly? Have to agree with RedLetterMedia honestly. Even his best film I can only call halfway good.

One character particularly annihilates the atmosphere Event Horizon tries to cultivate:

[The Cruentus]

True ymmv on what is decent but if you go by his RE movies, AVP etc, then Mortal Kombat and Event Horizon are certainly some of his better works. My point is that at least some of his movies have their fans or become part pop culture. Which means he would likely be the horse to bet on if it came down between him and the strauss bros for a new AVP movie.

[E. Shaw]

Neither, who I want to direct AVP3 is Denis Villeneuve.

[SiL]

He's the only working director who I think "well he did it, I'll go watch" but I wouldn't want him touching it (not that he would).

He needs to make a Alien film though.

Yeah, completely wrong for AvP and he'd never go for it regardless.

[SiL]

I'd rather see him do Predator honestly. There's something about his sci fi that just doesn't gel with Alien for me.

[[cancerblack]]

That's an interesting take. I'll have to think about it.

[SiL]

The intensity of Sicario's various hunts and action pieces but with Predator hunting, yes please.

Interesting, since he did Bladerunner 2049, I thought he could be a good candidate to explore the Alien world, particularly synthetics.
