Who wants that?
Every chance Disney shakes this franchise up, makes more movies and generally reinvigorates where Fox has lost focus.
Glad someone else sees this. Disney would be insane to sell off a big brand name such as AvP or any serious action/horror title Fox owns.
Disney has ALIEN in it's Hollywood Studios ride, and at one point were going to have a ride called Nostromo, an Alien themed ride in Tomorrowland (before it was changed to Alien Encounter). They know this franchise has worth to it, just as they recognized comic book films which had sucked in the past, could be retooled to be mega franchises.
If Disney can nab someone like who knows how to steer the Alien franchise like Kevin Feige with Marvel, then we could see some pretty great Alien films in the future. Maybe finally some ones that bring us back to pulse rifles, dropships, and the USCM, but with a Disney budget.
And as stated before I don't think theme park rides are out of the question.
And who knows, maybe Disney will see the benefit of putting more money towards Alien and Predator based video games.
I'm cautiously optimistic, but I doubt we're going to see any immediate decisions. Probably the effects of this purchase on the two franchises won't be seen for a few more years.
