20th Century Fox provided us with the first official image from AvP2! You can check it out here (http://www.movie-infos.de/galerie_details.php?image_id=12691) in our gallery. Looks like Ian Whyte was absolutley right about the new Pred design 8)
OMG. Are you sure this is official? If it is..then wow. Thats pretty awesome :-X Great find. even if it is fake it does look very genuine
Yeah, comes directly from the german 20th Century Fox press server ;)
You dont need a teaser to get me hyped about this flick! The mask look very simular to the pred. mask of pred. 2. Like i said..Great Find :D
It is kind of nice to see the A2 look for the Alien again. My favorite was the first, but the dome head look has been getting all the glory for 3 films now since A2 was made.
I wonder if they will show a smooth head molting?
MAYBE THEY SHOULD KEEP THE LOGO OF THE COMICS, NOW THIS IS ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR!
MAYBE WE´LL BE CLOSEST TO THE COMIC TIMELINE, SOME DAY...
I love the design of the Aliens, they're almost perfect. And the Predator is awesome.
Oh.My.God! :o This looks f**king awesome! The designs look beautiful! I have to say over these past few weeks I'm feeling very positive about the movie.
Excellent. I love it, especially the Predator. It's very reminiscent of the one in Predator 2.
It's a lovely blending of the two designs! :P The silver/grey of P1 plus the mask of P2.
Looks superb. Notices the ridges on the Predator helmet?
I'm loving the Predator. Helmet looks glorious, but the Pred still has some body armour, which I like.
like i said be4 i just got creamy LOVE THE PIC LOOKS NICE

Looks a bit fake. :-\
http://kino-express.ru/stills/avp2
Colin Strause confirmed that one was fake last week.
It's been around that long?
Yeah, get with the times. ;)
my blood iz really bumping now lol
Can't believe I missed this one. Why did no-one say anything on the forums?
It was on IMDB. That's as far as it went.
I noticed the Predator's shoulder cannon seems to be back to its' normal size and design. :) It's hard to tell but from the look of the Predator's arms, it look a LOT more lithe and graceful than the ones from AvP1 ;D
Yeah, it's clearly not one of the beefed-up sumo wrestlers from AvP.
Oh man, I go away from my computer for a sec and an image apears, i love it, cant wait for more ;D the predator looks like the one from PREDATOR 2/
i wonder if this was the pic the bro's actually wanted to be released ;)
I dont know, ask Corprol Hicks ;D
I also thought it had a hint of the Predator 2 enviro helmet when I first seen it.
I wonder what the tri-star gadget attached to his chest strap does? Maybe a new throwing star? The tips look hollow like maybe blades or spikes could pop out of it.
Picture in High Resolution 1400 x 933 from Fox: Directlink to the Pic on AliensVsPredator.de (http://www.aliensvspredator.de/images/portal/avp2news/avp2_erstesbild_highres.jpg).
Awesome Detailwork. Respect. Alien with Raptorclaws ? ;D
it seems that the predator is back to the first movie looks great so far hopes the trailer is out soon... And thanks for a great site.. Sorry if my english is bad but its not my main language
How did you get it in such high-res?
Haha!! Great Harry!! Yeah, I guess we Germans have some to offer too. Pic looks incredible. ;D

I am a graphicnoob. The picture is from Fox. :D
Yes locusta. The fansites must stick together.
It's very good. Very well detailed. But what's a matter with the alien's hands/claws? It looks strange.

You´re right AtR, the killing is the most important subject, the way the other.
BTW, I´ve done a quick retouching of the picture. Maybe that´s the way it will look like in the movie. Just an idea.

If they are in the sewers then it looks kind of bright-ish but it still looks cool.

Nice job, spotted that:
The alien has got a yellow blob on its hand. You can't see it in the original, but you can in this version.
The Predator has to some markings on it's helmet, three diagonal lines on the mouth guard, and a marking on the forehead of the alien, which can only be spotted on this version.
The shoulder cannon does not look like it is this Predator's. It looks like it is in the background, belonging to another. More than one Predator?

Predator: Battle damage?
Alien: Maybe it's been tagged or something. Like...you know how they tag whales?

Maybe the three lines on the mouth, but not on the forehead.
Good idea.
looks great the alien looks amazing and the pred is def back to its roots, one thing i would change though....... the predator's lower mandibles and chin are slightly coming out of the helmet like it did in avp 1, which i wasnt to big of a fan of, the helmet should cover almost every inch of the face like it did in pred 1 and 2, but other than that, this movie looks very promising
The pictures are available in different sizes on the press server ;)
What a pic! :o

So you had a choice?
The yellow blob on the aliens hand looks like a lens flare to me... but i may be wrong... I do enough photography that i can tell lense flare when I see it... but that one is kinda tough but still looks like one to me...

:D Mikey, you´re so right. As I mentioned before, I altered the picture with different colour corrections and contrast addjustment. And at last I applyed a fake lens flare ona top layer with parts erased. That´s the kind of Photoshop work I do nearly every day.
So, thats just an unwanted bit of image formation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens_flare)? So thats happens in movies?
Sometime's it's wanted in films.
Yes, remember the torch which falls down onto the flameable substance in Alien3. That was a nice done lense flare. Love that scene!! ;D

The only criticisim I have of the Predator in the pic is that I think the Pred's helmet is slightly to small.

Glad to see the very first image we get shows the Alien looking like shit. :D
The Predator looks awesome. I suspect you've all noticed how he appears to be holding back that Alien with such ease. I wonder if the Aliens are going to be cannon fodder?
It looks like a production shot to me, not an actual movie still actually. Still, cool shot. I'm in the process of trying to get it as a wallpaper...or make my own wallpaper out of it.
It shows that the film makers this time round as trying to make this a film the predator fans will want to come and see as I do think a new Predator stand alone film would make money.
I screamed like a girl when i saw it i saved three different types of the same picture.
December seems a long time to wait, but it will be worth it.
since I am a predator fan I dont really care about the alien design, and I am happy with the Predator design
im a huge predator fan but if the aliens are just cannon fodder the movie wont be as great. and besides you cant tell which species will have the upperhand throughout this movie because its just one frame.. it would be stupid if neither species had the upper hand in a fight throughout the entire film -.-
I didnt mean by my comments that I want the aliens to be cannon fodder. I only meant since I am a huge predator fan, I care more about the design of the predators, plus in the first 2 alien movies you rarely get a clear view of the entire alien body in full day light. I actually like the ridged head design + I don't mind if an alien kills a predator but I was just pissed on how 1 alien took out 2 predators in a couple of minutes in AVP.
I also agree that you can't tell who has the upperhand in the picture because it is indeed a production shot.
Totally awesome.
ONLY thing I'm not totally in love with is that in this pic. the shoulder cannon seems to be coming out at a funny angle, and the mask seems a TOUCH on the small side.
On the alien side, claws are sort of bird-like and oversized.
HOWEVER, my hopes are even higher now than they were before!! I am SURE that all these things will look GREAT on film!!
Other than that, pred and alien look fantastic.
MAN THAT PRED LOOKS NUTS!
asdfkjASDLKhas0dfaskdfjhAS)Dhl34kjhq048hKJADHAKSDJh0q23hqw349hASD_9p9asfasxcv!!
I think they should keep the predator's eyes shrouded in shadows. That was something I noticed in AvP. You could see the "grey" in their eyes a lot.
yeah i hope we dont have human peepers in this movie like in avp
True on that. They gave Scar blue eyes to "romanticize" him. They need to go back to the red and yellow eyes that we know of from Predator 1 and 2.
Am I the only one who don't like the ADI Alien? :-\
I really like the Alien design in Alien3 but after that it's so horrible.
In Alien Resurrection the design is more human-bio than biomechanic. Yes, that's reasonable with the movie script that the alien has a human DNA.
But, In AVP I really hope that the ADI will be back to redesign to the original like A1-A3. But not, Them use the same Alien in A4 with the little chaning the color ,the little pipe in the alien back and changed the chicken leg to human like leg. Don't help anything. that make the alien look so fake.(Yes maybe only in my oppinion.) and the alien cheek. Yes, the cheek is so thin and transparent. Like the Queen cheek in AVP. Why they don't make it dark like the original. Why why why???
So... I have a high hope for this AVP2. Hope they will redesign the alien to original like the director said.
And... Whoa! The rigged head is back. And the same body, same fingers like the past in A4 AVP. Nooooooooo, why they don't back to the old school alien like in A1-A3? Like the cool basic predator in this picture? And the cheek, the transparent cheek again?
...
Ok, I hope I'm wrong when the movie is out. :'(
I agree 100%
In the hi-res pic its clear the marks on the pred mask are battle scars, which hopefully mean its not a young pred but a seasoned hunter. As for the cannon being soo far out, it may be in transition...coming up from or going back to its stowed posistion. This scene does make the alien look docile, maybe a captive? (reason for all the chains?). Maybe this pred is picking out a bug for some hunting practice. OR! (here's a stretch) the pred was about to blast him, then saw his deformed hands and saw "no sport in the kill" and is tossing it aside. :P
The scene also looks to be a staged production shot, with some obvious photo manipulation. The chain on the right has been partialy removed from the scene. It appears the chain originaly goes to the bottom of the screen and then loops up between the two warriors. Look close and you can see some "ghost artifacting", two chainlinks where the cannon arm meets the preds shoulder and straight down where the long grey dred? or hose ? meets his armpit (I dont think its a dred as it seems to come over his shoulder and wrap under his armpit). There is also a open gap in the dreds to the left of the preds chin, but all we see is grey not the background or any light (odd).
I don´t get what you see. Actually it´s an unedited production still. No need to edit or retouch anything. And for the hand. We know by now that they look only odd on this pic because of the angle and the crappy rubber-gloves they used.

Strause Comments on AvP2 Movie Photo [Updated]
Monday, January 15, 2007
On the Internet Movie Databse forums, AvP2 movie director Colin Strause has commented on the new AvP2 movie photo. He says lighting problems, which can make things look fake, can be easily explained.
"On-set photos are never taken from the correct lighting angle, because they are working around our motion picture camera," Colin Strause said, "so this will make the photos not look as good as the final movie. They are too front-lit, too bright, and might be missing all of the slime on the creatures, because the photos are usually taken in-between takes."
Man, the photo already looks good. Finished product's even better? Thanks for the heads-up, Colin!
Update: And Greg Strause made a small comment on the Predator 'laser' in the photo.
"The laser was filmed 'in-camera'. We had real working lasers," Greg says.
Just a small comment...
http://img407.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xenomorphheadjw4.jpg
Is it me or is this the new AvP Aliens head?
It's just you.
The new head doesn't have the tube running down the length of the head, the spikes on the head are bigger and fewer, and it looks to be more like a repeating-shell patter nrather than ribbed (although, looking at it again, it is ribbed as well).
Yeah, was just about to say so. Lol Was looking at the two pictures side by side. Never noticed those spikes in Aliens.
Yeah, it's always had the spikes.
The new design has less, and they're bigger, though.
Yeah, I see. Just put the still and this new image next to each other. This picture looks nice, though.
It´s the 1/1 scale Sideshow Aliens Warrior bust. But it´s good to know the guys over at Gearbox use it as reverence for there game models. Makes me happy.
That's a CamerAlien.

I did that manip. It was done very quickly, just to give an idea of what I was thinking.
Rusty Nails and I actually kept having fun with the image, changing the Alien's mouth and eventually slapping a dome on it at SM's request. :)

The dome was schweet!
S'funny, I spent many years as a "Brin back the ridged heads" guy, but these days I'm mostly a dome-boy.
I still love the ridged Aliens, but the dome is just such a great point of focus on the Alien...this gigantic, biomechanical monstrosity with a smooth, sleek dome. It's just so out of place that it belongs. Whereas the ridged head is more the kind of thing movie monsters usually have all the time.
Does that make any sense?
Cameron's ridge heads were well done because they sufficiently conjured up images of Giger-esque Aliens as well as the Jockey ship.
The ADI ones look more like earwigs - which is perfectly fine when covered by a dome. Without - I'm not real excited.
