Well, Fox is really giving us a treat with yet another featurette released. This one covers the cast and characters with plenty of new footage and I will post screenshots in a couple of hours but for now, enjoy the featurette:

Update: I’ve now uploaded 35 screenshots including the Queen Alien and a great shot of a predator on fire. You can also download the third featurette at Movie-Update.com by save target as.

I SEEN IT, ITS GREAT MAKE SURE YOU CLICK THE LINK IN THE NEW TRAILERS ON APPLE.COM YAY THANKS LAD CANT REMEMBER YA NAME NOW IN OTHER COMMENTS   ;D     ;D  

Sorry Darkness, I admit my posts were a bit redundant. Anyway The queen does look cool but did you that only the lower part of her head was shown? They probably doing the rest with CGI. The queen was also hurt, I guess it's because of the chains that bound her (you can see they are spiky on one of the figures).

holy ghsdoisndfvds;ndsa;lkdjsvka!!! sorry for the gibberish   :D   i wonder if all these trailers would ruin the movies.

Does anyone have a link so I can download.  I hate streaming video.

Just wanted to say that I saw the 3rd featurette and it looks quite amazing. I'm still pleased with what I see. A couple of scenes that I really enjoyed was the one with the chestburster "flying" toward the predator and he just reaches out and grabs the thing. Another one is with the badass queen and the unmasked predator. The sets are absolutely phenomenal! Paul is doing a great job. Also just in passing...over at the Spawn.com message boards there is a post about the interview with Todd Mcfarlane and the creation of the AVP Movie characters that will be included when AVP is released on DVD!!! Also was reading on Aliencollections.com about the Predator CE: 2 Disc DVD. They are including an exclusive look into the AVP Movie. The DVD comes out 7/30 I believe. I'm sure all the Predator fans will be buying it (even if the case is lame). Thats all I have for now. Later

This movie looks really pleasing. I just wish I could go into hypersleep unitl the movie comes out so I wont have to wait.   ;D  

tha movie is going to be the best alien predator movie ever made pw anderson did very good i cant wait

Simply awesome. I love the scenes with Charles Weyland, Lance Henriksen looks great!

the footage that was shown looks beyond awesome, but the shot at the beginning with the alien and predator face-to-face....does anyone else think the predator's headmovement looks a bit mechanical? i dont know maybe its just my computer

HOLY SHIT! I'M LOVING THIS SO MUCH! So all Anderson needs to do is develop a movie over thirteen years to be a hit! GO AvP!

  ;D  darkness, your site is the best bro...nice screenshots. Can't wait for this movie to come out.

Well, it's not the theatrical trailer, but it has enough neat stuff in it to tide me over for quite a while.     ;D  

alien queen looks great, facehugger looks great, chest burster looks great, predators look good but the aliens look like ass hairs.  Sorry but i really hate how they look, looks so damn fake.  Aliens had the best alien design.  I cant stand how the necks look on the alien it looks so fake and i hate smooth head design becuase doesnt go with rest of alien design.  Predators look ok but nothing beats pred 1 pred. Oh and LEX is HOT. pred catching a chestburster with only a hand movement is sooo gay.

How do you know he caught it? Perhaps he picked it up and was showing it to that Pred with no mask (boasting perhaps?). About the Alien designs - the whole concept was to base them on the ones from the original Alien. True they look very similar to the ones in Ressurrection, but that may just be how Woodruff and Gillis design them.  Not even that bothers me and that's all that matters. I'm sure that I'll leave the theatre with a smile on my face.   PS: I loved that music at the end of the featurette. It was so energetic and made me totally excited about the whole thing.

So gay? Pred 1 Pred better than these Preds? You must be from another world.

i guess they are pretty cool. i'm just nitpicking i guess. i'm sure this movie will rule. HAIL KING ANDERSON!

i have but two quams- the predator unmasked, the inner teeth(behind the mandibles) are no as they used to be, hopefully this isnt across the board. and secondly, i think i will have to grow to love the music, it was good.  Forte Fortuna Adjuvat......-real pred

I stopped at the book store this past weekend and picked up a coming attractions mag, inside it predicted this to go about 75 Million at the BO. By the looks of this recent footage Im willing to bet it go's further with ease and number 1 for a few weeks. Anderson is gonna get alot of big budget movie offers after this    ;D   PS...Im not even a big AvP fan.

I doubt any of this music is going to be in the movie. Composing the music is mostly the last thing done once they begin to edit everything.

Actually, I hate to say it, but 75 million sounds about right.     :-\    We're freaking out over how great this movie looks.  Okay, but we're the fans, who would go see it anyway.  There has been no major trailer yet attached to a big movie to draw in people that haven't been scouring the internet for news on AvP.  Heck, most people roll their eyes when I tell them about it, or act half-hearted about it at best.  As far as I can see, it won't break the 100 million mark unless its publicity goes into overdrive soon instead of relying on its website and toys to get word out (which only reach people that know about it in the first place).  If you find lists of the most anticipated movies of the summer, AvP isn't even near the lead, which really sucks.     >:D  

MY GOD!!!! that was freakin awsome loved it when they finally showed the queen, and the predator(s) look #@^%^@ bad-ass.   p.s. the predator does catch the chestburster when ypu check it frame by frame.

OMG i cant believe my eyes! there is NO way this movie is PG-13!

Looks pretty good and I saw some good things, but there is one bad thing:  1)OMG, Aliens look way fake and the design should have been HR Gigers.  Good things: 1)Predators look awesome!  Especially the real mean looking one with the stronger lower jaw line.  I like the differentiation between faces.  2)Chestburster is very faithful to the original Alien.  Very happy to see that!  Awesome!  3)Inner Alien egg is also faithful to original!  Very awesome!  4)Diversity in cast nationality.  I hope they keep the accents.  One really nitpicky thing:  1)I wish the queen's skin was slimier looking.  Ah maybe it's the cold dry weather.  Overall I am satisfied.  If only the alien designs were more like the original.  That would be great.

Also, look at the pred about to catch the chestburster look at his mask right at the forehead, thers a symbol!

I think that's some kind of deep scratch, hence the name "Scar Predator" on the action figure.

i think it looks great but i cant help but feel the new effects guys (i forget their names) wont be able to touch STan Winston. Lets all remember he gave birth to the Pred the Terminator T rex & the Queen Alien. Does anyone even know if anderson considered him for this ? He is the best in the world at what he does and he would have made it a million times better.

All I know is that Stan Winston felt pretty let down that he never even got an invite to help out on this movie.  Now whether Anderson considered him or not, I don't know, but I suspect he didn't go with Winston's studio because it would have been more expensive.

Sorry, you're right - I checked it frame by frame and he did catch it. It doesn't make him look gay (?), but just bad-ass. You wouldn't expect him to struggle with a mere chestburster, would you?

That unmasked pred with the thick lower mandible just looks so... bad-ass! Really butch.

After seeing the 3rd featurette here, this movie will smash the competition at the box-office   ;D     ;D  

Ok, Nik, I'm gonna clear this up for you. He says, "Which you're not really aware of." Not that he's a werewolf.

sorry didnt see u noticed that the pred did in fact catch it.  Well its the the struggle its more of the when he catches it becuase looks so fake... You can tell it was done in reverse filming becuase all they did was have it start in the preds hands and they pulled it away.  Thats why it looks gay because you can tell.

Wow...it was such a split second shot that I couldn't even tell.      ???  

I predict Weyland's right-hand-man, Stafford, is an android. Call me nuts.. but I think there's a strong possibility he might be part of a twist or somesuch.

Look closely at the shot of teh chestburster. On the side it looks like a small mandible, its not the pred's hand! If you look closely, on teh upper jaw, there is a small part that looks like something protruding from teh side of teh mouth. Possible Predalien chestburster? I dont know, but it looks like a possibilty.

Nope, just a tube running down its "neck"

in my opinion, the predator's new tooth arrangement looks pretty stupid.  instead of looking like the classic mandible version from the first or second, we have what looks like a cheap "jeepers creepers" version.  secondly, the aliens look a little better from resurrection, but that doesn't mean it's anything good.  the other thing is that anderson is going to try and blend some of the original comic book storyline into the movie(ae. pred teams up with heroine).  also, look at the hero pred's mask and notice the lightning bolt used to mark "marked" preds in the comic.  in conlusion, i am undecided about this so far. i have been a fan all my life, and i think the guy that couldn't even deliver a good "resident evil" isn't going redeem himself anytime soon.  how hard could that be? you even have a game to go off of with the movie atmosphere set!!!!! i am a sequential art major and i think that i'm going to switch to directing due to this outrage..................but, lets keep our hopes up.   :) 

---

oh yeah, anyone who likes "jeepers creepers" should be shot

  ;D   I'm loving what I'm seeing show far and can't wait until it comes out.  I hope soon the trailer will come out to can't wait to see that.  Maybe there just showing some making the movie featurettes first  before the big trailer well just a guess or my opinion.

I'm really enjoying these featurettes so far.  I think they're quite interesting while sneaking in lots of cool scenes from the movie to whet out appetites for it.  For us fans I think this is perfect to show us a little of what to expect in the movie while still telling us how its being made.  Great stuff.

omg, so many critics, if you are disappointed, then dont watch this movie!!! who cares if predator and alien look stupid. beside it's pc, if you watch in theather you will be amazed!!!  i watch T3 and X-MEN 2 in theather and dvd in pc, 2 total DIFFERNET FEELINGS!!

The Pred catching the chestburster , in my opinion looks to be the Elder Pred from the toys.If you look at both pictures the one in the screen shot has the symbol/scratch/scar on its helmet and the Elder toy has the almost identical scar on his head in almost the exact same spot.The onnly thing that makes me not positive is the armor and mask.If the Mcfarlane toys are exact then that pred should have that missing mouth piece mask if it is indeed the Elder Pred.If you have a pic of the Elder toy in one window and open it up next to the pic on this page and compare you'll see the scars match up pretty good.Also the more they keep showing us of this movie the more excited I get, I mean it's really staring to shape up regardless of the shity alien design.Can't wait to see some Predator-Queen battles!   ;D  .To PREDGIRL , are you the same Predgirl that has some fan art on this site? if so well done   ;)   I to am an artist and hopfully 1 of these days will put some shite on this site and others.  DANZIG RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!666   ;D     ;D  

WOW!!!!!!!!! Those screenshots were great!! The featurette was great too. The predator looks so cool and with the new mask he looks cooler than ever! I liked the part where the predator catches the chestburster. Sorry for alien fans out there. Anyways, I was quite disappointed when I saw the predator's hand being bitten by the alien hehe...   ;D  

Awesome featurette. I can't wait for the movie. Ooooohhhhh I've gotta see it now!!  Seems like Weyland doesn't like it that the Predator lets him live, and he attacks him with some kind of flamethrower, made of a flare with something else.  "What did you say this room was called?" hilarious, you're all gonna die :p also see the fossilized facehuggers again on the bodies in that scene.  Great image of the Predator catching the chestburster (someone [anothe Prredator?] probably threw it to him), holding it and watching it. FANTASTIC!   In shot 00:01:17, with all those skulls on the wall, are there some fossilized facehuggers on it?

btw, I have another question for you. If the predators were their masks, are they protected against facehuggers? Does the mask protect their mouths and throats from the facehuggers?  And can someone confirm this: In shot 00:01:17, with all those skulls on the wall, are there some fossilized facehuggers on it?

Wow am i the only one that finds watching movies at home on your home theater is alot more enjoyable then watching them at theater?

Who's with me when i say that the Predators look awesome & that those lame-ass Aliens don't stand a chance against them !    ;D  

one thing about the predators face: They added a row of teeth to his upper jaw, the old designs in P1 +P2 just had two.  Are these Nostrils or just layers of skin above the mouth ?  xenoforge.

to THE REAL PREDATOR:: yeah, so much for being totally true to the creatures.  I'm still going to watch the movie, but that mouth change was a big mistake.  What the hell was Anderson thinking if he studied the other Predator movies?  to xenoforge ::  I don't think those are nostrils.  to Bringer of Death::  the scratch on the mask does match the Elder's scar, but they're not the same Predator.  The Masks are totally different as you pointed out.  I have no idea why they have the same scar pattern.  I guess we'll find out what the hell Anderson's got going on in his mind.  I thought it might be comic book related, but the helmet thing doesn't make sense to me being so similar to the Elder's scar.   ???  

holy crap i just noticed that teeth thing good eye   ;)  

Well!! we see a little bit more of everything, and I still have the same comments, this is going to be a great movie, I don't expect it to be "the movie event of the year", It's gonna be a lot of fun I'm sure!! I agree on the fact that Stan Winston woudl've been the best choice for creature production, he is the BEST, I mean, I give credit to Gillis and Woodfruff but that Alien design sucks!! looks cheap and too Resurrection for me....there are somethings that Shouldn't change, and the Alien design is one of them, Anyway, the movie is gonna rock, I'm sure it's not gonna be the Blockbuster of the year, it's more for the fans that for the regular audience, But I'm grateful this is happening!!! I'm very excited about this!! Can't wait!!

You know just because one pred looks like that doesn't mean they all do. That could just be the promonent Jaw pred. Maybe a way of telling them apart when they aren't wearing masks

On Picture 21 the alien with the f**ked head! is it me or do you think it got caught in the net of a predator?

None of the predator heads we've seen in any of the movies have been the same. Just like humans, they're all going to be unique.

to Pvt Hudson: Yeah thats the Grid Alien.  The on that gets caught in pred net but gets out...although he has the scars to show for it :)  The toy for the "Battle Grid Alien" has pics on spawn.com  I totally agree with the preds new teeth looking very strange....  all in all its looking like Anderson is doing a better job of this than I thought he was gonna do...  lets just hope all goes well...

I think that ADI (Amalgamated Dynamics),the FX- Company by Tom Woodruffe und Alec Gillis is not a bad choice at all.  Remember, they were once members of Stan Winstons SWFX Team, so they had a good mentor.  They did the Creature-FX on Alien 3 and Alien: Resurrection as ADI ,just to name two important movies. They were part of the SWFX Crew for the ALIENS crew back in ' 85/' 86 as well. The franchise is in good hands,stop worrying. By the way, did you know that the suitss in ALIENS were nothing more than Spandex Suits plastered with foam latex parts and an Alien Head ?  So please stop the comments like: "The Aliens were much cooler in Camerons Movie". They looked cool because of clever lighting and good editing. ALIENS was made with a very low budget approach,and for the measly sum of about 16 Mil. $. Its a great movie, mind you, but the FX in general have vastly improved over the years. When I see the massive ammount of work ADI has done for AVP, you just have to pay respect to them.  just my two cents.  xenoforge.

wow looks good!  i hope Anderson includes a scene where Charles "Bishop" Weyland does the "thing with the knife" as the clone android of him does in Aliens..

wow looks good!  i hope Anderson includes a scene where Charles "Bishop" Weyland does the "thing with the knife" as the clone android of him does in Aliens..

@Walta: You are exactly that kind of "Fan" that ruins  the whole AvP Thing. You say the Aliens are lame and some stupid shit. THIS is an Alien and Predmovie. So, no AvP-Fan should say something stupid,(if any brain is left inside the head) like you did. I mean, i dont care about all that stupid polls. i dont care who wins. the movie should be great and hopefuly not betray the alien and Predfans. I will damn Fox if they take down the meaning of the Alienfranchise which is still bigger than the pred's. All that stuff is STILL based on Alien you Fool! Iam a huge Fan of both and people like you are a shame for that all. Edited by DarknessReason: No flaming allowed.

oooh! the "F" word!! hehehe!

wow looks good!  i hope Anderson includes a scene where Charles "Bishop" Weyland does the "thing with the knife" as the clone android of him does in Aliens..

im a very big fan of aliens bigger than predator i like the predators though but predators need weapons like humans, u put a predator in a room with an alien with no weapons who will win? we all know its the alien cus they are just killing machines from start to finish, i cant wait for the fighting in this movie its gunna be great   ;D     ;D   oh yes HAIL KING ANDERSON   ;D  

Is there anyone else wondering who or what created that huge Ice tunnel, There is a hole in one of the buildings roofs leaging to the ice tunnel, maybe it was some sort of predator cuting lazer or somthin.

I do not believe that the aliens look that bad, but if you think about it the aliens should not be in the "resurrection" style.  In alien resurrection, the alien look was changed to fit the storyline, because when they were cloning ripley, the alien queen and her swapped alittle bit of dna.  That is why ripley had the extra strength and the other extra-ordinary powers, that is also why the queen could give birth, and the generic alien design was changed to look "more human" than geiger's design, even if it doesn't.  So since the aliens should have none of ripley's dna in alien vs. predator, they should look like the original gieger design, or at least like cameron's warror aliens.  It's not a matter of how good they look, but how tey should look.  p.s.- while stan winston's studio made the alien queen, the actual design was done by cameron.

the current alien design is actually closer to one of Gigers original paintings he did for the first film. have a look: http://www.system75.com/gallery/giger/images/alien2.jpg

Awesome, but it is still early boys and girls, wait until summer heats up, and the trailers start hitting the screen, word will spread and the heat will draw in the Predators, this movie will fuc_ing blow up. It is going to be the hot movie of the summer, perfect timing after all the Spring hype from Troy and any other early summer movies dies down. Step aside Blade 3, Snipes I love you but take a seat and watch the true killers take their places in the ultimate battle. You guys are awesome, thanks for making the waiting so fun.

not in the leg though, you can see them in featurette 2

People are complaining about the extra teeth on the top row of the Predator's mouth. What a bunch of crap. You know how many people claimed they HATED the Predator's mouth because of the lack of teeth? Why do you think he's called the "pussy mouth"?  For all we know, he's the only one with those teeth, because the life-size puppet's mouth in one of the featurette showed only the two fangs. Many tribal cultures on Earth file their teeth sharp, completely remove teeth, and do all kinds of other crazy stuff to them. For all we know, once a Predator reaches a certain age, or is "blooded" by the leader, these teeth are removed leaving only the fangs.  I think it'll look much better on film, and the extra teeth just make more sense. Again, (and I apologize for the crude language) you can't deny the whole "pussy mouth" thing in the original design.

I agree compleatley, who cares if the predator has diffrent style teeth, I mean the alien creature looks diffrent in each film, I dont like the design of the alien head in aliens, yet that movie rocked, so this will too.

It seems like some of the soilders would be a little more equipt with better weapons. Adele just had  a puny little 9mm pistol which is not going to do a damm thing against a predator or alien.

Well, to hell with the soldiers, especially those in the "Sacrificial Chamber", they are all gonna die!!! Even if they get out, we all know that either a alien or a pred will kill them. Just buying time! LOL

There going into a freaking pyramid, they would not pack an entire arsonel, their weapons are kind of like a "Just in case" thing, they dont expect any danger in the pyramid.

vekin actually if the pistol is shot at a aliens head it will kill it.

Man I can't wait for it come out, these trailers r driving me NUTZ!!! the new preds looked abit funny though, i don knoe abt the alien they look the same to me. Looking forward to see them in action. Somehow the preds seem to be the good guys in away. Sure pred 1 is terrifying and bad-ass but pred 2. Hey he killed most of the drug dealers and jerks man. He even spare the lil kid! I tink preds can take over the police department.LOL!!! Anyway back to AVP. I heard abt the alien queen. I hope she bust out of her cage so tat we get to see how preds could hunt her down!!! and shout "FREEZE!!! N.Y.P.D means I'M GONNA Nock Your Punk ass Down!!!"    ;D   LOL

I was wondering about the teeth issue as well.  What is the problem so the Predator has teeth now.  I recalled from Predator2 about when what his name who played Peter Keys said in the movie mentioning about the Predator has a taste for beef.  Ok for one how can the Predator chew his food without any teeth.  I believe its way better and more fearsome to the Predator and also more expressive as well, which in Featurette 2 they mentioned that about giving the Predator more expression in the face.  Would you rather have teeth or none at all and look like Mr. Tootless instead.  In my opinion I believe Anderson wanted to be original and not copy the same thing over and over from the previous movies just like AdamJZ mention this about the Aliens design always changed from Aliens up to Alien Resurrection so just be happy there is an AVP movie.  I just wanted to also say Anderson said he wanted to keep the same concept of both creatures by their way of how can I put this well like the Predators eye vision and the invisiblity and that the same, but more upgraded.

Predgirl is right. Paul is just trying to keep things similair but make it new and give us something to look at. I mean I don't wanna see the same pred through every film, I wanna ones that look different. I think Paul wants the movies to connect, but not be a remake of past alien and pred films.  P.S. Predgirl How old are you? *Blushes like a little kid* E-mail me at Thomas_Daniell@nmhschool.org

I have a question about Charles Weyland.  This movie is actually supposed to take place in 2004 or the near future?  Correct?  Okay.  So, Aliens takes place in ????.  So many hundred(?) years from now and the Bishop android was modelled after Charles Weyland.  Right?  Well, in Alien 3, isn't that the creator of the Bishop android?  A.k.a. Charles Weyland?  But, he is known as Bishop II in the credits.  I know it's hard to see in the original Alien 3... But, in the special edition after he is hit by 85...  His flesh near his ear is bleeding red blood.  And, his ear in hanging out... o_o;  I've heard that the Bishop in Alien 3 is just another model but he bleeds red blood?  Or do the newer models bleed red blood?  So, could someone explain all this?

From what I remember, The bishop was a new model, a better model. it was sent to hopefully persuade ripley to not kill the alien queen. Keep in mind it's been a while since i saw it but I think that's what happened

well, since i got to know that the original Bishop was gonna be in AVP, i thought of the "thing with the knife" as a possible signature move so to say. from original to copy, hence the "-i thougth u never miss Bishop" prolly the only human side thats in him..

Not true AdamJZ. In Aliens Vasquez emptyed a entire clip into an alien's head and it was still alive when they were trying to get to the landing strip through the ventilation shaft. Lt. Gorman also shot an alien in the head multiple times when he went back for Vasquez after she was injured. The bullets almost looked like they where sparking off when he was shooting its head. When the alien was shot in the head in AR and caused its head to blow up was just stupid. It did not make any sense unless it was a explosive bullet or something.  Also if your a marine you should be prepared for anything whether your going on a picnic or into the middle of a firefight.

As I said before, Man on Fire seemed like a very strange movie to attach something like AvP to, and I was right.  I wouldn't be suprised to see it on something like Van Helsing, but if they wait until June to release it that would be a bad sign.  Primarily because all the big summer movies have trailers out already.  I said it before, but look for a list of what the most anticipated summer moves are and AvP isn't anywhere near the top.  It's bad enough that August is considered the dumping grounds for studios blockbuster wannabe's (typically), and I can already hear critics saying this.

Good point VEKIN about the head shot  stuff.The way i see it is that the smooth head ones  in my theory have not matured fully and lost there soft dome topps revealing there harder boney membrain seen in ALIENS.Now this is JUST MY theory not fact so im sure alot of you nitpickers out there will disagree with me but i dont care   :D  .And about adam getting the trailer soon I highly doubt that.But it would be sweet if he does.I personaly think it is a little to early to get the finished trailer.To ALIMINATOR, I think they should do a sequel if this one goes well, make it an all out war though like AVP meets STAR SHIP TROOPERS in the sence that we see thousands of aliens fighting tons of Preds showing all kinds of sweet new heavy Pred weapons and mabey there ships blasting away at huge swarms of aliens on the ground.Cool crap like that.They could use the idea from the comic were the preds seed planets and acidently have a queen get loose on a planet and over populate it so tyhe only thing to do is to go clean up the mess in "ALIEN VS PREDATOR 2 WAR   ;D  .Then throw some humans in the mix for some dialogue   ;D 

Hopefully though if the trailer does come out soon then AVP might end up on these "most anticipated movies" lists considering all the kick ass coverage we've been lucky enough to see already.Once enough of the public gets a tast of what us fans have been watching they'll realize that this movie will indeed most likely kick some serious ass!    :)   and the hipe will begin.You never know, Fox might go all out when the time draws nearer and have tons of advertising for this moviehopefully everywhere you look you'll see something AVP related, wich could be a bad thing if the movie is actualy bad   ???   ah well 4 months 2 go baby!!!!

I agree, they might go full out when it comes near its release, and I've seen movies do really well being done this way.  But I really do think this movie looks good, and I think it deserves to be higher up on some of these lists, but it can't until the average person (ie, not us fans who have already seen a lof of these teasers and featurettes) can see what we've seen.

If what you say is true, then my apologies to AdamJZ. Perhaps he does have it!

About the Alien 3 thing and Bishop. I think he was a special android made to gain Ripley's trust. Cause nobody could get a shot to the head like that and still be standing (plus there is the deformation):

about the head shot in aliens and AR,  the second movie and fourth movie, their storyline is 200 years away, so the weapons are more advanced and powerful enough to blow their head off in one blow   :)    and ADAM JZ:, you better get it!!!   ;)  

to Tykjen:: It would be a cool signature move with the knife, but you have to figure that Lance is playing a dying man.  A dying man would be so accurate with a knife stabbing around his fingers.  To Predgirl:: Sorry girl for the complaints about the Predator's mouth.  It's just a bit of nostalgia for myself.  I thought about how a Predator would eat with the original teeth set up and just thought the common sense answer would besomething like a spider.  The 2 upper fangs and the 2 upper mandibles hold the food in place, while the lower jaw tears the food while the lower mandibles push the torn pieces into his mouth.  That sounds like a pretty damn disgusting sight to see while a chore for a hungry Pred.  I wish i could see these damn featurettes.  I have to wait till i get back in the states since I can't get away with downloading them on these retarded goverment computers.  Damn it sucks to be deployed.  At least I'll be home in time to see the movie.

Have to fix a screw up i just mentioned about the Weyland/Knife issue.  He WOULDN'T be as accurate.  Ok, fixed, carry on

Man there better be a Predalien or at least a new alien figure like the Predtoriean from the games. I heard from some other sites tat he claims there is a predalien face in the flash main site rite at the center top. I can't really say though it's quiet small.   There is another pic of that same face at the download files the bottom left corner. Think u guys might wanna check it out and see carefully.   ???  

to NarzGul:: it's a stone carving of a Predator's face at the Pyramid's entrence. A couple other people thought it was a PredAlien, but it's not.

to AdamJZ:: It's ok man.  Just cover your butt and don't mention you have it till you actually do.    ;)  

Just wow. The new scenes look amazing. I love the flamethrower shot where the pred looks unaffected...so awesome

The "Predalien" could ruin this movie. They already said that they wanted to stay as far away from Alien: Resurrection as possible, and if you think about the Newborn compared to the Predalien, it seems like a copycat move to place a hybrid in AVP. Maybe a sequel, but I hope they don't do it here. The use of a hybrid creature has the ability to completely cheapen both franchises. I mean, it may work in a comic or a video game, but it's cheesy. Might come out looking (on screen) like some Power Rangers villain. The two creatures were meant to battle and exist in the same universe, but IMO, that's as far as it should go in a movie.  Even though it might be some big secret, I'm doubting that it'll be in the movie. The only real "evidence" someone could provide is the fact that in interviews someone saw a crate with the words "hybrid" on it, which still isn't enough for me right now.  And that picture everybody keeps believing is a Predalien, is of a carving of a Predator above the staircase inside the pyramid.

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!! Those pictures look so damn cool. Now I know this movie will be the best of all the movies that were made.   ;D     ;D     ;D     ;D  

Me likey... Anderson already said that the/a predator(s) are giving "birth" in a way that a chestburster will come out of them, so you should all expect a/ predalien(s).  @AdamJz, so it's really you then? Otherwise if the other "real" is reading this, then e-mail me and I'll bring the message you wanted to Darkness right away. Ciao everybody, and goodnight.  -Rusty Nails

Rusty, can you provide the interview or source where this was said? I've read nearly everything and never seen that said anywhere.

Maybe an chestburster will tear through a predator, but it could end up being a regular alien.  Sure there was the dog alien, but the aliens have always been refered to as an insect like spcies.  And in that respect, i would compare them to other insect species that plant their "seeds" in other creatures, in which the hatchlings are always the same, no matter what organism they are planted in.  So why wouldn't this apply to the aliens as well?

Aliens are not bugs, they dont look like them and they are not them.

It's because of Hudson's line in aliens. Something about an ant hive? That line makes a lot of people say that aliens are very much like bugs, even though they ain't

PAUL ANDERSON:  "I had the idea for this movie nine years ago," claims Anderson. "And being able to make a movie that I have thought about for that long is really a dream come true. At the same time, trying to follow in the footsteps of some of the best filmmakers in the world is incredibly intimidating and kept me awake on many nights. I consider Scott's and Cameron's movies to be masterpieces.  "There are a number of innovations in AvP," Anderson continues. "The Alien Queen, for example, is the most sophisticated animatronic ever put on screen. It's got double the points of articulation of T-Rex that was built for Jurassic Park. So, in terms of what it can do, how it can perform, it's a massive leap forward from what James Cameron was doing with two stuntmen in the Alien Queen suit operating the arms. That was a puppeteered marionette and this is really state of the art. It's as good as you can get."

Hello I'm back oh and about asking me to go out with you well I hope you live in Pennsylvania because thats where I live.  Anyway that is ok Growler you have a pretty good point about the Predator eating habits, but it seems kind a messy if you know what I mean.  To Vekin yes I'm only commenting here, but its ok if anyone wants to ask me about anything I don't mind.  I'm usually a care free person anyway. Thanks Killer_Kakashi for the comment at least someone agreeds about what I said. If you really want to know my age check out my site it says it there ok and maybe I'll email you.  If anyone is wondering about the trailer coming out in the movies I'm seeing Van Helsing next weekend and I'll tell everyone if its there, but I doubt it.  And to Growler hope you get back home soon safely and then you can check out the featurettes.   ;D  

Even though there are some similarities to "bugs" the only real reason they were called that in Aliens is because a lot of the material came straight from Heinlein's Starship Troopers. (Aliens in that were referred to as bugs. Another example from the book, which is used in Aliens, is the term "bug hunt" said by Hudson)  I don't think they're ncessarely "bugs" though, they are an extremely intelligent Alien species.

To PREDGIRL, I've been looking around your site from the link you gave me and you got some sweet looking stuff   ;D   is it all done by you?.Also I'm not to sure or were to find a link or something to email you if that would be alright so I could send you some of my stuff.And I was wondering if you use MSN because that would be easier and we could chat back and forth and send pics back and forth alot easier to.I live in Canada and our timezones are pretty close( its 1:20am right now).If you want to email me you can at .......bristow_666@hotmail.com About the "bug" comments the only resemblance I see with the 2 is that they both live in hives,have queens,warriors,drones,etc. and possibly use pheromones to follow one another since they have no eyes also I think they use the stinger like weapons at the end of there tails as exactly that stingers that may secrete an emobilizing poison to paralyze there pray for easy transport back to the hive to be cacooned for the facehuggers.These are just MY thoughts but I agree(ADAMJZ) they are NOT bugs but more organic in nature and pure KILLING MACHINES!!!!   ;D     ;D  OOMMMAHHAHHHAHHHAHH!I cant wait till this sucker comes out I'm having withdrals

Well said bringer of death. One reason why the Space Jockeys possibly design the aliens that way  because it is such an efficient lifestyle compared to other oraganisms

Zerg vs Alien vs Protoss vs Predator hahaha just kidding. Sweet new material, hopefully this movie is such a success that ALIENS VS PREDATOR(as it should be titled) 2, Predator 3, and Alien 5 are all made.

First to Predgirl:: Hello neighbor.  My hometown is Youngstown Ohio which is about an hour 1/2 drive from Pittsburgh where I went to the Art Institute there.  to Bringer of Death::  You're on the money with the Aliens.  I don't see them being any different than a colony of ants.  I've played the AVP Extinction game as the Aliens and it was just like watching ants at a picnic.  Dragging bodies back to the hive like ants dragging little chunks of food.   I'm not saying Aliens are ants, they just behave like them.

@ Saint Sinner:  "Paul Anderson: f**k, no! (laughter) There will be no predator babies. Predators may give birth to things, but it won

To "Majin Jekku":  Your Q's probably already been answered, but I'll summarise what little I know regarding the Bishop controversy...  Bishop, as seen in A2, was an android.  A3's Bishop II (only referred to as "II" for convenience), was presumably his creator; hence the blood.  Apparantly, according to some information on the Alien Quad A3 DVD (possibly in the commentary), Woodruff and Guiness (sp?) confirm this.  HOWEVER, as AVP is a prequel to the Alien saga, this must be wrong.  Weyland obviously resembles the Bishop android line (presumably there were others) in appearance, so they must have been designed to honour him (apparantly he's obsessed with immortality in the film).  Henrikson also confessed in some recent interview that he played the Bishop II character similarly to the Bishop android.  It could be speculated that Bishop II was merely an advanced model...  J

sorry bout that, of course he was an adanced model, that was made clear in the lance interview, also when he clenches his split open ear, he screams "Im no a droid!" but you can tell hes lieing, also he would be in much more pain with that big a wound, and he hardley even noticed it.

^^ Coolios.  -Rusty Nails

To Vekin you are so sweet thanks.  To Bringer of Death thanks for checking out my site I'm glad you liked what you saw.  About my email well thats optional for my site so if you want just cleck on Predgirl above.  I only have AIM not Msn mine is kind of screwy I think, but thanks for asking.  Also did you check out the one picture I did of an Alien its looks a little different just wondering.  Growler thats cool that you do art to is some of your artwork is here or do you have a site that I can check it out.   ;)  

To Predgirl:: No i don't have any of my work submitted anywhere... yet.  I'll see what i can do when i get back from this deployment.

Thanks for the information, guys.  And, thanks for the summary, Jordan.  That clears a lot of my confusion.

PREDAGIRL, I emailed you acouple of my pics.Just wondering it the email went through or not   ???  

  :-\   Howdy there fellow Alien fans, and those of the Pred. I'm really not sure about this film, as besides the incredible first two (saw 'Alien' when 8, was in a fever, and wasn't allowed to see the end [never saw the bloody thing die]), the third and forth movies in the series went from great to bad, and just got progressively worse.  Add to that the fact that Mr. Anderson's best movie was 'Event Horizon', and that he was responsible for 'Resident Evil', and other similar hollywood cheese fests (think Resurrection with it's comedy sidekick general), and you have the core root of my suspicions. The stills and shorts look great, but remember, a great movie is a combination of visuals, sound e.t.c and most importantly, pacing; the masterfull thing that only Scott and Cameron have been able to seize so far. And they are also most likely the best individual films by these two directors. Still, I am very excited. And I have to say, I do think the pred looks alot better (always thought the Pred movies were a bit 'B+', and not quite in the same class as the straight 'A+'s' of the first two Alien films) than in the previous films, and I love the look of the Aliens, smooth skin and all. Hopefully, like the Preds, there'll be some variety as well.

Oh yeh, just a little on the Aliens.  That huge head has to contain some advanced sensory organ(s) right? Could they detect fear, as after all, they are designed to be menencing and instill terror. Also, I think Cameron did a good job with the original in taking out the sentry gun scenes, as they made them seem like dumb animals, unlike in the first film. And yet the queen, like an aircraft carrier, seems to be able to 'telepathically' communicate with her entire flock, therefore, they seemed scarier in the original 'Aliens', as once an alien died one way, say, due to gunfire, one can only presume that the rest would know and be that much stealthier as a result, right? There were hints of this in 'Resurrection' as well.  That's what I mean about the head anyway. And, although I may be biased, they do seem a hell of alot scarier than the preds, as there's nothing more disturbing than something you can't rationalize with...I think I have too much time to waste... Imagine just one Alien loose in, say, the N.Y sewers? I definitely think they'll win. And they can also create eggs... Only soldiers, en-mass, can usually take them out, and as for the preds, well, as a warrior race, not many would reach maturity, right? Anywho, enough from me for the time being. Mr.Z   :)  

to Predgirl:: Thanks girl.  My deployment is almost up though.  I'll be back in the states either the first week of june or the middle of june.  I've been here in the western part of the former Soviet Union since the middle of February.  Anyways, about the trailer issue:: the trailer might come out with the Movie Troy on May 14th if it's not attached wioth Van Helsing.  I figure Troy because it's an action movie, maybe Godsend because it's said to be a horro / thriller movie.  That's if you're expecting it to come out soon.  If it doesn't come with those films, then Galmorzu may absolutely be right about his prediction.   ???  

to Mr.Z:: New York's a tough town bro, i don't think an Alien would last long there.  NYPD, military, even the community would take a shot at killing it.  Sure some of the city would be in fear, but the majority doesn't put up with any B.S.  Put an Alien in a suburban neighborhood, then you've got a menace.  Although an Alien in a suburban neighborhood, to me, sounds like one of those cheesey teen horror movie scenerios like I know What You Did Last Summer.  Bunch of kids getting chased into a dark alley only to find a dead end and they're screwed.

Interesting Growler, perhaps right (he he), but may I add that you can alledgedly sail ships through those sewers-lots of hiding places, as well as the 'fact' that these things, in the rubbish book of the first film anyway (wriitten after the film), can rend steel with their talons. In fact that's how Dallas gets killed, by the Alien punching a whole THROUGH the airduct beside him, and pulling him through. Also, they leave no blood and no trace of their crimes, so many people would most likely dissapear before anyone really wised up to something; and that's just from one of these things. Each Alien can make an egg from a captured living host, so...not too good. And then theres the possibilty of a queen coming sooner or later, and all these infinate hiding places. Still, at least the States has alot of guns (good, er..); if it happened in New Zealand, we'd all be f...ed. I like your idea about teen-slashers; throw in a killer clown or two, freddy, batman and an alien...er,....hmmm.  Nevermind...

I don't think the fact about Aliens turning people into eggs is canon, actually.  If that's how eggs are made, then there's no need for the Queen.  BTW, I love those killer clowns.  I just saw that recently, and no matter how bad that movie was I still find those damn things scary as hell after all these years.     ;D  

just came back from the cinema shop they have a poster of alien vs predator on there window,  i just like to tell u all that most ppl that seen it was going wow thats gunna be good i even seen one girl get excited and she said aliens will win lol i mean this is grown ups , its getting really really exciting and i cant wait

p.s i think this will be the biggest thing since alien this might even be better than the lot   ;D  

I don't think it'll be better than Alien or Aliens just because of the plot and writing.  Anderson tends to focus more on the action and the way a movie looks, which is great on its own and can be a lot of fun, but people will probably enjoy the first two alien movies overall for their strong character development and emotional themes.  And again, that's not bad, just because AvP will be a different type of movie.  It doesn't mean it won't be a lot of fun to watch.

To: zorxagg  While Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection are not superior films when compared to the original two films, the same can not be said about the comparrison between the directors.  I personally think Scott is the most talented director, he is at his best when he is helming big productions, while Cameron is the best at makeing more well rounded SciFi-action blockbusters, and Fincher (alien 3) has a dark kind of noir style that is magnificent when he can find a good project, as for Jeunet (Alien Resurrection) he definately has a talent for viual flare which he uses to create quirky, delicious, ideologic masterpieces.  I am afraid i cannot give has much praise to Anderson ( all i can say is that event horizon was kind of freaky and the laser defense scene in resident evil was pretty cool.)  Here is a list of some of their better known films:  Ridley Scott: Alien, The Duelists, Blde Runner, Thelma and Louise, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down  James Cameron: Aliens, The Terminator, The Abyss, True Lies, Terminator 2, Titanic  David Fincher: Alien 3, The Game, Seven, Fight Club, Panic Room  Jean-Pierre Juenet: Alien Resurrection, Delicatessen, City of lost Children, Le Manege, Amelie  Paul Anderson: Alien vs. Predator, Mortal Kombat, Event Horizon, Soldier, Resident Evil

Alien 3 was awsume wut r u talkin about

I seen a pic that seems to be bishop dead on the floor.

movies r all so about money remember resident evil had had no money really but i liked it any how i think this will blow paul anderson is a up and coming director and this is his bug break we will soon see

To Bringer of Death I haven't recieved anything in my email or maybe you got it wrong just cleck my name just in case.  To Growler your welcome hope you get home soon too.  Your maybe right if it shows with Troy, but it seems odd to me to be with that movie even though there is action in it.  For being with Godescend I don't think so that is more thriller than horror to me and the movie AVP is more SCI-FI than horror to because well it has Aliens and most horror movies have dead people coming to life or something and chasing stupid teenagers all over the place.  I told a friend of mine about AVP movie and he said it will suck then I told him well I think it is a hell  a lot better than your stupid horror movie FreddyvsJason crap.  He thinks thats the best movie ever well I don't think so. Its the same thing over and over like the other ones there is a group of stupids teenagers being chased by one of them until there is one remaining and then Jason or Freddy is dead and the funny thing is they keep making movies of the same concept. I'm getting a little pived here I guess. Well we will see I guess, but for the most part it probably be on the internet soon enough for all of us to view as many times as we want.   8)  

Dude, you cannot even compare Paul Anderson to Jeian Paul (Whatever his french name is).  the French guy is a terrible director, I dont care what any of you say about his other so called 'good' films, but he ruined the alien franchise, and for that he should perish in flames.  Anderson however has made all pretty good to really good movies, with the exception of MK, I think his best movie so far is Soldier, and Event Horizon, also Resident Evil kicked ass, and seriously man, nothing can be worse then alien ressurection, and just because paul hasent made a classic so far donsent mean he is not cappable of one, he has lots of experience now, and also lets not forget that James Cameron's first film was Pirana 2: the Spawning which SUCKED, alll directors have really bad films and really good films, and let me promise you this, that AVP will be Pauls best top date, also It will be a Sci Fi classic, I cant say if it will beat predator, alien, or aliens, but I am sure hoping so.

Actually, I couldn't really get into any of Peter Jackson's earlier movies, many of which I thought were horrible, but then out of the blue he came along and did the Lord of the Rings.  I guess anything's possible.     :)  

if all the alien movies are made with the same tech, i would say from the best to worst: 2,4,1,3, it's just my opnion...  PS: go to www.applemovies.com to check lots of imcoming movies!!!

tell me....has anyone ever thought that their are also female predators also rather than males.Be intesting to see a female pred B-)

Here are all of the AVP things that mention Predator Females.  Aliens Vs. Predator Novel Trilogy  AVP comic: Eternal  Aliens Vs. Predator Vs. Witchblade.  AVP: Dealiest of the species comic,  If you want to see a female pred go here http://larrysgaragekitasylum.com/Predettex.html

Howdy once again. In reply to Galmorzu's comments about Alien warriors turning people into eggs, in the book (and cut from the film), that's what happened, or was happening to Dallas. I think I also got this from the book, but don't quote me on it, and that's that these eggs only have a life-cycle of a few months, rather than the few thousand or whatnot of the queen. Also, it's a slow process in the book, as Dallas (and Lambert) slowly turn into something else. To the guy who hasn't mowed his Red-Beard; Fincher did Fight Club!! One of the greatest films of our time!!! That's right; so what the hell went wrong???  And Jeunet's film credits reads like a list of masterpieces and those that are pretty damn close, so Why does Resurrection have all that hollywood cheese dripping from it then??? A loud and annoying comedy sidekick general, dreadfull LOUD (not to be confused with good) music, and all those horrible cheesy camera shots, such as the rolling grenade, that just seem to be there for no other reason than to show that they can do it.  That movie did do one thing right however, and that was to give the aliens some real depth. With regard to Peter Jackson, and it's almost blasphemy in this country to say this, but I think with LOTR he did the best he could, as it is philosophically impossible to match a great book; as you have no choice but to play to everyone's imagination, plus you live with the book which is mainly a work of naturalism, wereas the movie out of neccesity had to be a 'greatest hits' compilation, therefore, in places cheesy. It was also overall lacking most of the subtlety, as, take away the fantasy, and LOTR is basically a work of rural and wild naturalism by Thomas Hardy; the most English of English writers. But he is beyond blame, as these things just can't be avoided; the mediums don't translate in these ways except abstractly.  Anywho, that said his best film has got to be his first one that he made whilst a teenager; 'Bad Taste'. I think I laughed even harder at that than for anything by Monty Python.  Anywho, for his first big-budget film 'The Frighteners', he admitted that he did it, and gave up alot of creativity in the process, just so he could keep all the effects equipment acquired; so perhaps that's what Jeunet did, which would also explain the stamp of hollywood that's all over it. Mr.Z

can i just say that alien worriors can change in to queens if there queen has died just like ants do some may be the one in alie was about to change in to a queen cus as i read the the they said whats then next stage from the humon form alien and its in aliens earth hive about a worrior changing into a queen, just like a chestburster in to worrior, as for alien 3 i thought is was good then the directors cut came out and that was brilliant just like the first 2 so any of yoou that slags alien 3 off get the directors cut on dvd and see how it was ment to be,not like the one in the ceinema that the producers made fincher cut to peaces.....if you or wondering how much longer is put back in alien 3 its 30 minutes!

p.s i thought lord of the rings was over rated, who would sit and watch all that over and over again yawwwwwwwwwwwnnnnnn bored of the rings i could go on al day about how i thought i was crap but i aint i cant bee botherd

i think the avp movie will maybe destroy the alien mythos. more than AR!  The movie will be good for the predfans because the pred become more and more a superheroe style .......which is realy stupid i think. what want the predfans next? a flying pred or what?  this is going out of hand. Dont get me wrong but this becomes to be rubbish! its not realistic. the early meaning of the alien was a nearly indestructibale biomechanical killing machine. the pred is a hunter with awesome weapons but if you take alook at the bodys, the pred have a humanlike fleshy body while the alien have bonelike armoured skin. a pred only should kill an alien from the distance like a marine. but faster and more effective of course. a fight hand at hand should go on the alien's side. and then this rumors about the jockey.... Man, if the jockey become some kind of Predcreature or something in that way......it will SUCK !!!!!  I realy hope FOX isnt that stupid. they should not take hand on this what Scott and Giger created. But we will see.........

Whether or not you like The Lord of the Rings, my point is that Peter Jackson wasn't terribly successful with many of his earlier movies, and then finally made the trilogy which was met with outstanding, widespread critical acclaim, made muchos money, and received countless awards.  He suprised lots of people by turning out something that successful, so it's not impossible that Anderson could suprise us and come out with a movie that's suprisingly good, considering his past lack of success.

Have you guys read that bull#hit about the cacooned body picture being switched because it's 2 violent or whatever?! thats BS and almost throws that PG-13 rating right in our faces! F that.Lets just pray thats not the real reason or were gonna be screwed on this movie.To MORGOTH whats this about the Space Jockey being Pred related?Also I agree w/your superhero thing I personaly dont think Lex should be teaming up with a Pred at all and yes I think they are starting to get a little to humanlike if they start that crap.But hay I could be wrong, lets hope so

i felt i had to return to set a few more things straight. by now many of you will know i am an insider on this movie and that my source in Fox is reliable as i have proven. i just want to shed some light on a few issues  1> firstly, i knw the beginning, middle and end of the movie, i know all the present information and more.  2>the movie, will NOT be PG-13, ive clarified this many times.   3>the scene with lex in the room where the men are cocooned has NOT been removed from the movie, the movie has not even began editing yet as the special effects are not yet complete.  4> although, many rough cuts of the film have been completed, Paul Anderson has assured that the movie will remain faithful to both franchises and its content(scary) so its just common sense that whoever, over on planetAvP suggested that the scene was cut because it was too scary, obviously possesses the intellect rivalled by that of a cornflake.  5> what many of you seem to be forgeting is that Paul Anderson himself LOVES both of these franchises, he is a fan making a movie that he has wanted to make for over 10 years. he will NOT let it go to the dogs. i dont know about you guys, but from what ive seen, bonus material on my part, the film is shaping up nicely, i KNOW that the dialogue is fantastic as i have a copy of the script. i also have a copy of the original Peter Biggs script that was basically an adaptation of the comic books but manifested into a movie, which sadly never materialized as it was and is a riveting script and storyline.   i have also seen the shot of the 3, last standing predators that are standing aloft the pryramid, however the special effects have not yet been added and it is merely 3 predators, swinging calculated and awesome moves all over the place. the 3 predators in this particular shot are martial artists and let me tell you, move like em too. it looks fabulous..  i can only imagine that the only reason for the mass worry about this movie, is not because of the actuality, but because of the director. in that if Jim Cameron was directing it, eveyone would be a little less on on edge, but let me ASSURE you, as a long time and dedicated fan, that Anderson had taken a leaf out of the book of greats, and judging only from what ive seen already, has created a masterpiece.  - i wish to let you know that i have to get permission from my source to make any comment about the movie from now on as i have publically announced that i am an insider, however if you have questions, ask me and i will try to answer tham as best i can.  For now however....  Forte Fortuna Adjuvat..............-real pred

Hello there yeah I heard that there was a new screenshot on the site, but the other one was not replaced its still there because I notice the new screenshot yesterday when I went on.  To The Real Predator I hope your the real insider because if not some people will be really mad just to let you know. To Bringer of Death you should make a website on deviantart which you can submit any artwork you want plus you might interesting people.

Well Preddy girl, check again, cause its replaced.

real predator why the predator dont kill women and chills

Shakemaker, i agree, lord of the rings are boring!!! warcraft has batter storyline, hey should make a movie out of it...

to THE REAL PREDATOR:: Don't take this the wrong way, but I love you man... haha.  I'm hoping the Peter Briggs script could be intergrated into an AVP sequal.  I've read most of it myself (with some pages missing from it unfortunately), but I think using his script in AVP2, setting it in the future, could work.  to la jungla se los llevo:: Predator kills women.  He killed a couple women on that subway train in Pred2.  I believe the reason why he doesn't kill a women who is pregnant is because it's dishonorable in a way.  The mother may be armed, but the unborn child isn't.  If he kills the mother, then the unborn child dies with her.  That's my opinion.

Yes I was wrong so send a Predator after me why don't you.  If the women are not armed in anyway or the children because it dishonorable and their killing an innocent than someone who is armed to kill someone else.  Also for the same way with the woman in the movie 2 even though she was armed and found out she was pregnant he would be dishonorable because he is killing an innocent unborned child who did nothing to him in anyway of manner.

To real-pred. It's good to hear such soothing words, but you actually beat me to the computer, as I am not so down on Anderson as you may think. Firstly, most artists, in any medium, make life easy for them selves and focus on a style or execution that is already within their grasp; hence one reason for the overwhelming amount of kitsch in any medium; painting, music, film or otherwise.  Anderson may not yet have a track-record to inspire confidence, but what certainly does are his thought processes that have had some light shed on them in an interview (IGN; on here).  The fact that he realises the immensity of the task he is up against, with regard to the two genius directors who have successfully preceded him, and yet, whilst in awe, is still prepared to learn from these masters in a deep and challenging way is inspiring and a neccesity.  What made the Impressionists so good? The fact that they all trained under the Naturalists, who in turn were classically trained. Picasso and the early modernists? They could paint as well as any Impressionist, because they were also their mentors. Schumacher? Well, he learnt from Senna didn't he e.t.c.  Arrogant artists doomed to be second-rate think they have all the answers; those who attain first-rank status know to reference the past, and to learn from only the best in history that has preceded you and is relevent; not merely that which is near to hand or more easily understood.  Also, any great artist must posses a rare and acute sensitivity to beauty; and the fact that he recognises the heirarchy of the first two Alien films being the chief influences followed by the first predator movie (set in the Alien universe), on top of the fact that he understands the huge impact the pacing made in these films, gives ample room for hope. I also think Event Horizon was a straight A (if not A+) movie that was underrated, or at the least under-publicized. However, all great artists also know the importance of restraint; and yet I get the impression that Mr. Anderson will not be able to help himself with regard to slow-mo, and other assorted and flashy video-game inspired camera work. Such things may be trendy and 'cool' (as in coveted by 13 year olds and the Idol following crowd), and suit Mortal Kombat or even 'Predator', but the Alien universe when it worked was a bleak and realistic one; can you imagine the chestburster scene in Alien happening in slow-mo? If that's not grating enough then just add in some techno (as I'm sure he would never do, but I'm just trying to make a point here) and the result should be "yearch". Even the APC on fire and crashing around in Aliens would have been grating done like this; the realism, thus immersion and heart-pounding fear would have been gone, or at least compromised.  Remember; trendy or cool and other such of-our-time transiant things don't matter; what matters is timelessness, and for this the movie has to be as immersive as possible. The face-hugger in slo-mo could really work though. If Anderson wants some free street-cred and publicity, instead of inappropraite slo-mo or gyrating camera work (like the horrible grenade sequence in Resurrection), why doesn't he just have a 30-second bonus "Alien vs prod-action Osama" at the end; replete with Osama, alone, and his walking stick in a cave somewhere. Just a thought..he he. This brings me to another kitsch give-away and pit-fall to be aware of (art-theory was my major by the way; just so you know I'm not completely speaking out my arse); and that is that, besides the choosing of an easily-digestable style (Resurrection/Hollywood), kitsch-artists also typically choose colours and effects merely because they are pretty; such as a strong colour just because it looks nice. The point here is that everything should serve the whole; whether colours or choice of camera work. Slow-motion could work brilliantly if used to give an impression, from the Aliens perspective, of it's existance on a higher level of metabolism altogether, but other than that? Restraint is my point; not everything from videogames is good, or relevent. Hell; slow-mo in my view wrecks every game i've played with it anyway, as the real-time gameplay is of neccesity either too-easy, or far too difficult. Imagine how Golden-eye or Halo would be screwed. Other views such as first-person that he mentions on the other hand, fit the bleak realistic Alien universe and could really add to the experiance. In any case i'll put my head on the line and say that I think this film will be much better than Alien 3, miles better than tyhe horrible Resurrection, but Aliens, and especially Alien, are very, very hard acts to follow.  But if he doesn't attain those kind of heights, I for one won't blame him; and so long as he keeps doing the right things, this movie can't be bad. "One can only stand on the top of a precipice for so long; eventually you become dizzy and have to step down". Zorxagg.

my names avpmaster13 and i think that everyone thinks predators will kill aliens way to easy but i know that aliens will kill the predators with minor inconvienyence dont mind if i spelled that wrong

I hope the Aliens will kill all of the preds except one survivor (not winner) at the end of that shit!

@Bringer of Death:  about the Jockeything......some of the predfans want to see the Jockey as a predrelated creature who carries the eggs for them........And iam as Alienfan are very disapointed on that stupid idea. the pred become to be a intruder to the aliencult and suck out everything whats based on it.  all what comes from alien should stay there. dont get me wrong but i think this avp thing is the end of a cool franchise and went to be a  movie for kids, who see the pred as a Superman! I hate that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

onemore thing::::::: its nothing wrong with the old predthing, i like it. But the most of his fans are realy unfair and want the pred to be that what i said above.

During the meeting in Aliens where Ripley defends why she had destroyed the star ship etc.  and explained her story, we hear one woman say, "a creature that has not been described in over a hundred surveyed worlds".  Well if the Aliens were obviously on earth fighting preds and humans prior to this, the statement does not make sense.  There is no continuity.  I think the downfall of this movie will be the tremendous plot holes.

I don't know about that.  It would be really easy to have that statement make sense, since it could be said that once they company found out about the alien they proceded to try and discount any proof and eyewitness accounts Ripley may have had, just to keep others from believing her.  Heck, they had her taking therapy, which alone would make her seem like she was crazy.    That's really not a plot hole if you look at it, in fact what's done at that meeting is exactly what I would expect them to do even if they did know about the aliens.  Like I said, once they get confirmation about the alien's existence they'll do all they can to keep anyone from believing her.

Hmmm ... seems everyone is keen on thinking that keeping the aliens and preds looking legit will make this film a winner. Look back at the original Alien and Aliens ... the best bits were the story remember :) ... hopefully Anderson leaves more to the imagination rather than full on CGI, etc ... I believe the less we see of the alien and keep em in the shadows (like the original alien) the more creepier it will be.  So far from what I have seen I am extremely excited. It has a very Aliens feel to it ... and remember Cameron made Aliens on a modest $15million budget.  Anyway lets pray that the story will absolutely kick ass! I am firm believer that less is more sometimes.

Anderson didn't write the script (at least not in a very large capacity), so that's a plus.  If he has even a decent script to work with, the movie should be pretty good since as a director I think he's actually fairly good.  He past movies have been mediocre just because of weak scripts, but they looked good.

to Morgoth:: As a pred fan myself, I don't think the jockey had anything to do with transporting eggs for the Preds.  I go with the idea that the jokey was transporting them for his own species.  That the ship was a battle ship that deploys those eggs to their enemy planet.  Something like the humans wanted to do, but Ripley fought against because she knew Aliens can't be controlled as biological weapons.  Something the Jockey sadly figured out during his last moment of life.

to Growler:  Thanx! You said it absolutely right. Scott tells the World on his Audiocommentaries, what the Jockey is all about and thats the way it should be.  .......and not like some crazy people want it to be!

Ha! and i didn't even hear the commentary.  I'll have to when i get back from this deployment.  I left Alien back home in the states   ???  

hey, growler, would you join USCM united states colonial marine? I WOULD!!!

Howdydilliho once again.  I have to say, that I agree with avpmaster13 that, in keeping with the first two movies and the original concept (which also began as pure horror), the aliens should indeed kill the predators and everyone else (with lucky and plucky survivors of course) with little trouble on their part. I do find it a little ridiculous that a pred with bladed weapons could somehow go toe to toe with an alien, and come off best. But we'll see; if the preds are actually effective against them (as they seem to be), then this could reduce some of the scare-impact of the film. These things are meant to be able to rend-steel with their talons (remember how Dallas died in 'Alien', originally [the awlfull book based on the screen-play] after being pulled through a gaping hole torn in the side of the air-duct), exist on another level of metabolism entirely (can evade super-sonic projectiles such as bullets to a degree), are armoured and have hydrolic bio-mechanical strength; so surely they would go right-through at least the lightly-armoured parts of a predators body like butter, and would easily overpower it.  I also just thought of a theory for the four long spines along an aliens back; actually an observation which I just clicked to. In Cameron's film, they seemed to be used to suspend the aliens body away from walls and tunnels, giving them an amazing ability to roll, rotate and run at any angle in confined spaces without hurting themselves (not likely anyway), which would also make sense; considering their mobility, and intelligence,  is what makes their steath that much more effective, and creepier.  They seem to follow, in Aliens and other later films at least, the Japanese asthetic for horror, where you can tell evil by the way it moves (even though they aren't evil, they just need to be killed and avoided, if you have that option). Would I join the USMC were this vision of the future to exist?  No, but i'd like to be recycled as fertilizer. Oh yeah; one silicon-based life form at least that I know of does exist-plankton.  But these things (no not plankton, silly) clearly could not have evolved; they must be some kind of bio-weapon for some perhaps long-forgotten alien war. A weapon of genocide maybe, or designed primarily for combat aboard starships (could you even afford to kill just one? Acid wouldn't just burn through the hull potentially, but also life-support, essential ship systems, masses of electronics, wireing and cables e.t.c).

does anyone know the real story behind the jockey?   ???  

DAMN!!!!!!!!!! Those featurettes look so damn cool. Fox knows how to give great treats. Now I'm DIEING to see this movie.

This movie looks like it's going to be fun!

i think vin desil or the rock should have been in the film along with space ship armerd tankx and robot fighting suites   >:D  

I think the director is gonna f**k this film up like he did with resident evil which was lame;   i think he is gonna make a film which is nothing lik the aliens nor the predator films; its just gonna b a hollywood cheap rip off of another good story line.  but wot i want to c in the film is the aliens and predators moving using todays latest technology;  plus i wanna c a predalien.

I think it'll be alright, whether or not its considered 'canon' or 'goes along with' the rest of the films, and whatever everyone considers what actually happens is up to us, and the writers of AvP.   Though Paul Anderson hasnt made badass films, though Event Horizon was weird but it was also pretty cool for special effects, set design, etc. etc. I have complete confidence in him that this movie will turn out alright.  I think the majority of everyone going to see it in the theaters will just be everyday people who've seen some or all of the movies that arent die hard fanatics of the two franchises, so it wont matter really to them. Regardless of how it turns out, there will be atleast some kickass special effects, and some hardcore fighting.  We'll all have to wait and see how it goes, from the pictures and featurette's, I think I'll be satisified.

The movies gonna be awesome, i cant wait to get all the toys and kill my sisters barbies    :)   but uh, dont aliens adapt to any environment? Because i remember from somewhere where it says that they do. Oh, and if there is a predalien, will it look like how the game made it look, or will it look like a buff alien...beacuse nothing really changed with the runner/dog alien. Just that it ran on for feet. But yes. Otherwise, im satisfied with how the movie looks, oh and wasnt the celtic predator in the end of predator 2? WHere all of them uncloak. Because they look extreamly similar.

i think this is gonna be a good movie i mean totally cant wait till it comes out WOO HOO!!!!!!!!

whoever thinks that this movie is going to suck should just f**king shoot themselves.

when is the next Featurette coming out    :)     :)     :)     :)     :)     :)     :)     :)     :)     :)     :)     :)     :)     :)
