I have to admit, overall, I thought the trailer was great. Lots of cool things in it. I loved the blue thermal vision. If anything, the movie will have more action than AvP and especially gore. Some CGI effects were a bit iffy for me. Anyway, many of you may remember I did a Teaser Analysis for the first AvP back in 2004. True to form, here's my analysis for the AvP2 trailer scene by scene. Check it out below. Some things may be wrong, some things may be right. It's just my take on it.
First we see a small Predator ship heading towards Earth. Very reminiscent of the ship in Predator 2. It could very well be an escape ship from the ship in AvP. But as to how Facehuggers are on board as well as the Predalien is anybody’s guess.
Here's a father and son out hunting in the forest. They spot a Predator spacecraft crashing onto Earth. In the YouTube trailer, you'll see a closer shot of the craft crashing into the forest. A little later, it cuts back to the father and son in the forest. They hear Facehuggers moving about and both of them are facehugged.
Next up, we see a search party in the forest… most likely looking for the missing father and son. At some point, the Predator is cloaked in the forest and kills a police officer running.
Just worth noting that I love the blue thermal vision. Looks great.
Okay, here we see two Facehuggers escaping from stasis tubes that were on the downed Predator ship. Not exactly sure why Facehuggers held in stasis would be on an escape ship in the first place. (If that's what the crashed ship is). Plus we know, that it's not the ship in AvP that crashes onto Earth.
A few shots of cast members. Kelly O'Brien (Reiko) with her daughter Molly (Ariel Gade). Another shot of Dallas (Steven Pasquale) and his younger brother Ricky (Johnny Lewis). They look as if they're exploring the sewer. Then there's a shot of two people running through the forest.
Another scene featuring Sheriff Morales (John Ortiz) and another officer discovering a skinned body hanging from a tree.
A shot of three of the actors. Think it's Jesse (Kristen Hager) on the left, then Dale (David Paetkau) and Ricky (Johnny Lewis) in the front. Ricky tells his brother Dallas and Sheriff Morales that something attacked them.
Quick shot of an Alien. Not sure where it could be with the green light.
Shot of Kelly and her daughter Molly in a vehicle.
Lovely shot of the lead Predator with its dual shoulder cannon.
Cuts to inside a shop. An alien attacks Dale (David Paetkau), I think. The Predator is in the same room and spots the Alien. The Green Alien vision from AvP makes its return. A few seconds later, it cuts back to the shop and the Predator kills the alien causing the acid to burn Dale's face off.
Another shot with the Predator using its shoulder cannon as a gun.
There's a scene mentioned in the Trailer Description post here. Molly has a nightmare or something, her father, Tim O’Brien (Sam Trammell), and her mother Kelly are in her bedroom. Tim shines a torch towards the window and an Alien jumps through. Kelly and Molly escape.
Looking up towards a firefight. Hive resin can be seen at the top so I'm guessing this is in the hospital.
Shots involving lots of army people firing at aliens.
Shot of the Predator holding a spear.
Very confusing shot below. The Predator is on the left. On the right, it's the Predalien. But on the second shot it turns and it looks like a young Queen. I hope it isn't but it's been suggested that it's a Predalien Queen. A queen wouldn't have the pipes on its back or only two arms. Looks a lot like a Praetorian from the games too.
Predator is at the hospital (notice the hive resin and the signs) and throws its shuriken weapon at a girl and impales her to the wall. I think it's Jesse (Kristen Hager). In the background we can see Ricky, Kelly and Molly. There's also another guy right at the back. Can't really make him out.
The Predator is outside the Power Plant, I assume. Also has a new weapon, a whip that he uses to catch an Alien and then splits it in half.
Shot of somebody in a clothes store with a cloaked Predator beside him who grabs him.
Notice on the monitor, it says “Projected O.W.L.F Containment Levels”. Does OWLF sound familiar? It stands for Other World Life Forms and it’s a nod to Keyes’ team in Predator 2. OWLF was on one of the monitors (see second screenshot) in the scene where Keyes is explaining to Harrigan what’s happening outside the meat-locker.
AvP Requiem
Predator 2
Scene in the sewer, maybe. The Predator grabs two aliens at the same time. Notice the strange red lasers in the background. Looks like the Predator set up a trap. I know a lot of Alien fans are pissed at this scene but maybe the aliens break free.
Scene involving a fighter jet flying and then a shot of it dropping a missile/bomb out of the hatch. I guess the military think the best way to deal with the aliens is to destroy the whole town.
This scene is familiar. From the recent production still. An unmasked Predator impales the Predalien with its wristblades. Most likely takes place towards the end of the film. There's another shot a little later showing the Predator getting impaled with an alien's tail.
Here's Kelly O'Brien firing a machine gun at something.
The Predalien can be seen below attacking a waitress (Carrie Adams – Gina Holden) in a back-kitchen.
An Alien crawling down (or falling down) an elevator shaft.
A construction worker is killed by an Alien.
Someone is dragged through a window by an alien and killed. Somebody else is trying to help him.
This one shows the Predator running from the crashed Predator ship. Looks as if it's about to explode. The Predator has probably set it to explode to get rid of the evidence.
Here's the Predator in the Sporting Goods store showing off the dual shoulder cannons. On the left is Scotty (Juan Riedinger) and on the right is Earl (Rainbow Francks). Both are killed by plasma blasts to their heads.
Another scene involving the Predator falling, most likely in the Power Plant.
Some guy below getting a head-bite through the face. Think it's in the hospital and it's by the Predalien.
Ricky (Johnny Lewis) gets impaled by an Alien's tail in the hospital (?). Also notice that he drops a Predator shoulder cannon.
Final scene of the trailer with somebody firing a Predator shoulder cannon at an Alien.

first!! yeah i liked the trailer too ;D
seconed!! i liked it too, but some cgi shots (especially the facehuggers) didn't look that perfect to me... ::)
"Ricky (Johnny Lewis) gets impaled by an Alien’s tail in the hospital (?). Also notice that he drops a Predator shoulder cannon." It's not. It's a flashlight and I don't think it's Ricky. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v130/Corpral_Hicks/flashlight.jpg
I really love this trailer, I have watched it about 20 times already ;D
yeah it was really good but wish the movie would come out alot sooner
keap in mind that the digital fx will be better in the actual movie then in the trailer because of last minute tuch-ups!!!but over-all the fx for the trailer are great!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
Colin and Greg are some of the best special effects team in Hollywood, I am sure they can touch up the effects a bit, I mean they were already good effects on the trailer ;D
No .. Corporal Hicks ... its a shoulder canon ... go back a little bit .. you can clearly see a shoulder canon greetz
8)
That is a cap of him dropping something and it's not the cannon. Since when does the cannon have a light? Like these: http://www.theshootersbox.com/store/images/flashlights/flashlight_104-380.jpg
Just wait and see the movie you guys!!!! :D
I thought the trailer was sensational! Extremely good!
It is the shoulder cannon, look carefully: (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi119.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fo127%2Ffilmman01%2Fshouldercannon2.jpg&hash=269f411a94ed6b4adad64ec598b26deef00d738e)
http://www.brightguy.com/images/bgimages/pel3600a.jpg
zoomed in picture http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o127/filmman01/shouldercannon3.jpg
Yeah, it's the shoulder cannon.
Its not a light source Corporal ... this is just reflecting like from the left or so .... like i said .. got a little bit back .. you can see he is holding the cannon in two hands ... and then while he drop the cannon it turn around ... http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8330/70874740we8.png http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/6505/78066212by4.png Its clearly a shoulder cannon. greetz
different angle http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o127/filmman01/shouldercannon4.jpg
the whip.simple,elegant,efficient,DEADLY!!! ;D ;D .I wonder what other toys he has!!!! ;D ;D
maybe small plasma bombs ::) I wonder how these people get there hands on the predator's cannon?
I think Wolf lose one in a fight or so ... greetz
I discovered smth. more ... Wolf is throwing TWO .. yes .. TWO Discs .. not one .. TWO you can see it clearly .. if you look step by step
I don't think it matters if Wolf loses a cannon or two, he's got loads of new toys to use anyway, Indiana Jones lent the predator his whip ;D
I went through it frame by frame.Its a shoulder cannon!.but just to let ya's know,when the wolf shoots that alien(the 1 with acid dripping into the guys eye)he's holding the cannon like a burner!!!thought you'd like to know!!!! ;D ;D ;D
already know ... he's holding it like a pistol ... but we already know that this would gonna happen. And it looks sweet ... only want to know WHY he is doing that ... greetz
Nice analysis.
man get this moive on the ps3 and xbox360 Asap f**k psp i want to go ape with preds cannons all 3 of them and his whip
Well we know the Predalien is a female because Colin said so earlier. So that would make it partially queen. I'm with you though, I hope to god it's sterile. I don't think anyone really wants Predalien queen eggs or anything like that. Plus it makes sense from a real world perspective whenever a something like a Liger is created it's bigger and scarier looking than a Tiger or a Lion but it can't reproduce.
i really liked the scene of the two armed guys who get their heads blown off! aweseome! and not to mention the girl being impaled on the wall haha. that was some huge shurrikan... ;D
This Trailer Rocked.... it was everything I wanted to see and a bit more. The first shots of Kelly are reminiscent of Ripley in both voice and strength. Which is perfect in my opinion. This is going to be an awesome movie if not for the basic fact that we get to see more aliens and more predators tearing each other apart.
AM i the only 1 who doesnt think the predalien looks particullary good ??? that picture of it where it kinda a looks like a quenn looks as if its head is gigantic and not in proportion with the rest of its body..btw the trailer was kick ass ;D
Is it me or does this simple 2 minute long trailer blow the whole of the first AVP film out of the water!, it could be the beer talking, but I really think this! Theres even more blood in this trailer than in the whole unrated version of the first movie! Just had to get this off my chest people!!
Vote Quimby!!
Damn that trailer was great, can't wait to see the movie1 ;D
Shrek: No, I think the PA sucks cock too but the rest is cool.
that praetorian/predalien queen has mandibles i think
For those who think, the showed us all in the trailer ... State from Colin: "Don't worry, there are still plenty of shocking moments that will never be shown in any trailer." So ... yay ^^ ... anyway .. Trailer is AMAZING .. i'm watching it all the day . cant get enough of this .. damn. And imo its really shocking ... The Scene with the Kid, which got facehugged and the one girl got killed with the shurikken ... my god .. these scenes were just ... WOOOOOOOOOOOO greetz
What CGI didn't you like Darkness?
1:03 :o :o :o Best scene of the year!
Nice one ;)
i watched the pratorian/predalien scene a cuple times the firt image he is almost looking towards the camera, then he swings his body and reveals his head but im sure that is kinda obvious
lol forget that last comment i didnt read the description right, you already explained it :-[ :D my bad
It's a SHE, hunterv555! ;)
??? do you guys think there will be a queen there must be because there is the hive resin in the hospital and also you see in the trailer that many aliens get killed and 1 guy saying the town is overun maybe the predalien if its rough kills the queen there has to be a queen it cant be a alien movie without a big nasty queen if there is not i can put up with it lol
PEOPLE SAY THE BIG ALIEN IN THE PIC IS THE PREDALIEN BUT IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THE 1 IN THE PICTURE.....IM CONFUSED ???
Maybe that's the point SHREK! LOL You have 4 months to decipher. What's the problem with JENGA?! ???
Thought the trailer was great! i think it showed a bit too much, but the trailer defo rocks, more intense, gory and more action! i wasn't sure about the setting at first but after seing the trailer with the whole woods and the thermal vision, reminds me of the original predator movie, it looks good! not sure about the young actors? AVP-R cant wait, i like the logo, this movie is defo going to be better than the first Rock On!
go to 1:55 in the trailer it's a flashlight.
Flashlight.
@ Sgt. Hudson No ... its a shoulder cannon @ SHREK No .. its the Predalien .. are you guys blind ???
Some of the CGI sucked, and it is definitively the Shoulder Cannon. I have a thread on it in the forums.
"Some of the CGI sucked" ---------------- uhm .. what? I like them very mutch ... which one you dont like? greetz
And also the pred DOES throw two shurikens, one right underhand, the other left over hand. Pretty sure I posted about this, too. Predalien could indeed look better, but it is obvious why they had to make it so obviously different (for people who don't know heads or tails what an alien is SUPPOSED to look like). WOLF MUST LIVE!!!
That is not a cannon!!! You can see the round light in the front for a short moment! Corporal and the others were right. It's just a flashlight... :D
@ uhhh Well .. jeah .. i posted that too .. two shurikens ... looks very nice =). Wonder what he get with the second one ^^. @ Elorra No .. completely wrong. This isnt a Light source .. its just some reflection of Light in the near ... really are you blind guys Oo Here http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8330/70874740we8.png http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/6505/78066212by4.png Its a shoulder canon ... greetz
The CGI blood is not so good. I also don't like the way the cloak is done. Anderson did that a lot better in AvP.
Flashlight or shoulder cannon... he is just a dead man walking!!! ;D
You guys DO realize they are not done with the film, right?
Hey .. It seems like the whip action and the fight with the Predalien takes place at the same time or at least at the same place ... you can clearly see the same environment ... and it looks like the rooftop greetz
it looks like a power drill to me
thats a weird looking shoulder cannon. why does it have that flat bottom part?
how do u copy images cause if i could i'd show you how it looks on my comp.
This trailer worships Predator and majority of the Alien scenes are all them being killed. Not good. >:(
oh and about the PA it looks alot like the queen. when you see it's head it has all that crazy crap at the back and has dredlocks. but i couldn't see mandibles
Actually, that man is holding neither a flash light or a shoulder cannon. That would be a Predator hand gun. If you freeze frame the trailer during the part when the predator throws the 2 shurikens (1:19), you can see that the object the man is holding matches the object the Predator has strapped to his side. This object resembles a hand gun.
who the #%@! voted poor
WAIT A SEC!! A soldier shouts at 1:17 something like... "you fu*ing ANDROID"?!?!! WTF?! ???
No... its Its a f**king ambush Nice ... we will see soldiers get owned by aliens hrhr ^^ ... greetz
Paul W. Anderson! EAT YOUR F*KING HART OUT!!! This is how you make an AVP movie. Man.. the trailer is more intense the the whole AVP1 movie. The Brutal action of the predator, back to blue thermal vision and normal body size is just perfect... The aliens look cool too... Man i'm looking forward to this...
some people have their retard ears on... "its a f*cking ambush"
Thanks Chris... but just for you to know I'm not deaf. My ears mainly used to hungarian that's all.
No problem mate =) greetz
I Love how everyone gets all upset because the predator is manhandling 2 aliens...come on! You had your moment alien fans in avp 1. The predators were made to look like women. Now it's the predators turn to whoop a$$. If u think back to the original avp comic the predator was a super bad ass....He was a hunt master and handled multiple aliens at once. Wouldn't you think that a hunt master like The Wolf SHOULD be able to take on 2 at once if not more.....If he couldn't he's not much of an elite predator. I'm an alien fan too, they kick ass and take names but a friggin NAVY SEAL PREDATOR....FORGET ABOUT IT! You can't get much cooler. I am so friggin happy that they are finally giving the predator fans what we didn't get in avp 1. A seasoned, hard as nails bad A$$ warrior. I just hope the movie is as good as the trailer makes it look.
Darkness, why do you have it as "Drew (David Paetkau)" on one pic then have it as "Dale (David Paetkau)"
hey darkness. something tells me that the predalien was supposed to not be a queen. but have the head shape of one with the dreads and mandibles. cause i really dont think this thing is a hybrid queen.
Huge head sounds about right for the Predalien, as the Predators have HUGE heads compared to their body. Nice analysis.
is it a shoulder cannon the guy uses to blow away da alien at da end?
Why Predator kills that girl on wall, she's unarmed.
my only issue with the Predator-on-two-aliens action is that there's some stuff there that doesn't make sense. I have no doubt that the predator is strong enough to pick up two aliens at once. But the aliens have... I don't know... long arms and really longs tails. How The Wolf isn't being scratched and whipped just doesn't make much sense. and for gods' sake "the predators were made to look like WOMEN"? it's the twenty-first century fellas, catch up.
Nope She is armed ... she has a pistol in her hand ... greetz
Wrong. If you watch carefully she is running with a pistol.
either way guys she gets pinned 2 da wall in great fashion
No, she's not. She has a Beretta or a Desert Eagle in her right hand. Watch carefully. But I still don't understand something... Why did Wolf shoot that Warrior on top of the guy? Isn't it dishonourable to let him injure like that?
I don't see why we get so hung up on this "predators are honorable" line. They're bad guys people. Which is why we love them. I mean haven't you nocitce how they don't play fair. It's not a balanced playing field becaus the table is tipped in their favor. Come on people, they run around totally invisible and shot people with huge laser guns! And I'm pretty sure they don't give a crap about people getting caugh in the cross fire. I love me some predators... but they aren't f**kin' noble samuri warriors... they are alien monsters that kill people for FUN.
i love the effect of the pred in stealth grabbing da guy by da face frm behind- got a gr8 feelin hes gunna kick ass in this!
Forgive me, someone can will prompt me, why at the Predator on shoulders different guns? Or on its right shoulder at it not a gun? I am sorry for my English.
den17, do you mean " why are the predators shoulder cannons diffrent"?
I see a Lil Sigourney Weaver in the lead Actress's Movements and Acting...especially the "Let's Go" part inside the truck..reminded me of Aliens..when she was in the apc carrier.
Anyone think the face huggers look brown? Look at the one on the boy.Are they to generate a queen?
i noticed that A,NIGHTMARE, in fact evryone iv shown da trailer has asked- iz that ripley. she looks 2 b da stronger character in the movie hope she pulls off da job- not that i hav doubts like
i fell in love with this trailer! i saw it about 3 times i hope that this year 4 my Christmas gift will b Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem will b that, no mo than that. This is crazy that it lands on a Christmas Eve of Christmas Day, ridiculous, but i'm sure that nobody will c it on that day. R U? i'll ask my folks if this movie could b my gift from 1 of them.
Look at the guys hands when he says "FU**YOU!!". (1:57) LMAO He's shaking like a sissy boy! Oh... but who can blame him...? Personally I would faint... :D
WOOAHH guys i have seen the trailer and was FAN BLOODY TASTIC I CAN'T WAIT to see the trailer wow :o :o :o
wen da pred gets that guy runnin in da woods, do u think it may b wen the search party iz out.... then the next mornin iz wen da 2 cops find them all skinned?
den17, do you mean " why are the predators shoulder cannons diffrent"? yaujta, Yes, certainly of a shoulder cannons! On its right shoulder not absolutely such, as on left. I am not right?
maybe DEN 17. one cud b a primary weapon or he could be just a bad ass on a mission ready to take evryone out- with all hes got?
I love the fact that the people who mention the predators being "owned" in avp failed to mention that they blew up all of the aliens except the queen.
The most shocking thing for me in the trailer was seeing the woman getting tagged to the wall like a lepidoptery specimen. I've never seen a predator take a female kill before. But, I guess you can't discriminate based on gender. Everyone has an equal opportunity for carnage.
Probably. I shall wait for the film. Thanks. :)
its shoulder cannon, the light is a reflection
THE PREDALIEN DOESNT LOOK VERY GOOD. IT LOOKS LIKE ITS HEAD IS WAY 2 BIG AND IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE THE PREDALIEN IN THE PICTURE FROM THE OTHER DAY...... WHY IS THAT? ??? ??? ???
damn right Newsfop, she shudnt b made special. my shockin moment was wen the guys face was eaten away wif acid......im lovin this old school alien and predator horror theme!
that was my 1st impreshion SHREK, i thaught it was a queen wen i first saw da glimps on da clip
SHREK... if I agree that the Predalien does indeed have a massive gorde will you STOP BITCHING!!!
the women in the past movies were just luky, preds do kill females just as offten as males, women with guns can be very dangerous ;D 8) ;D lol
do u think there will b any new gizmos or weapons besides da dual cannons and serrated whip?
first time i watched the trailer whole way without pausing to look at things i thought it was a young queen and i thought it looked a bit crap, but pausing it just before it turns to the side you see a head on veiw and it quite impressive, im sureby the time the films released will edited and touched up to look great ;D 8) ;D
the bros said there will be a few new gizmos so maybe, think we'll see the return of the missed medikit
hope so 'PR', sum how it will bring out da characteristics of da older preds... yet not make them look a wimp
jst wotched da traier again.... an earlier report on da trailer said a girl was havin a nightmare and the hybrid bursts da window and gets her dad, but on da trailer its jst a normal worrior
@ NCHURCH81... am i bitchin u idiot? i was asking a question for peoples opinion so if u got nothin good 2 say shut up.
Brown facehugger on boy? Thoughts about queen? ::) ;D
Well, I havn't heard anything about Colin stating that the pred-alien is suppose to be a young queen. I'll have to check that out, but I do find it a little difficult to believe that a hive would be established without one. However, I'm betting it's probably a standard pred-alien warrior... or there is another. We'll just have to wait and see to know for sure. :D ;)
Regarding wolf holding two alien warriors by the neck with each arm, that's quite rediculous to believe unless it's only for about one or two seconds. Alien warriors (those who've gestated within human hosts) are immensely strong. The type of physiology they have alone, compared to predators, would logically indicate they would be the stronger species. That coupled with their armored skin makes them incredibly tough as we've seen in the past films. I find it hard to believe they wouldn't be lashing out at wolf with their long arms and tails either (which have a 7' reach). :-\
OH and im luvin the scene where the pred cloaks and his eyes glow....SUPER COOL....will there be more teasers before the movie comes out??
QEND no NO QUEEN the directors even said so What is up whith some of these noobs no effence but im geting anoyed
How are is it to make the PREDALIEN look like the PREDALIEN on the cover of AVP 2 Primal Hunt no that looks cool
I love this trailer but this is no the one they are going to show in theaters its red they will show the green one
It's a flashlight, not the cannon or a hand weapon. Download the HD version and watch it very slowly. I am using VLC Player and can see it one frame at a time.
People who are upset that the aliens "owned" the "pansy-ass" preds in the first film need to put their heads on straight. I'm not going to get into the nitty-gritty details of the film, but the first fatal flaw with this argument is comparing it with the AVP comics, novels and games which had so horrendously skewed both species in the first place. Rabid predator fanboys are especially notorious for revelling in these dillusions of grandier and it doesn't make the rest of us pred fans look good. Stick to the prior films to draw logical, no-nonsense conclusions. Secondly, the preds were young adults who had received much training, but didn't have a whole lot of experience, so there is some leniency. I'm pretty damn sure if Fox had cut Anderson loose, he would've delivered the massive epic we were all hoping for. He was always for intense gore and terrifying pacing for AVP and it wasn't something he wasn't familiar with either. Event Horizon is proof of that. So it blows my mind when people accuse him of deliberately watering it down. So cut him some slack and lay off the incessant death threats and "in-your-face" smack talk, guys. :-\ I really doubt he's reading them. ;)
It's a public thread chief....noobs hahaha
anyways i think we're done talking about the trailer now it's time to start pondering what the poster and such will look like
how is comparing to the comics a fatal flaw, without the success of the first series of avp there would be no movies to bicker about. Aside from all that look at the movie and look at the comics and you'll see Master Observer that Anderson basically took the whole entire comic idea and ran with it but decided to set it in the antarctic....
The poster will be a huge two part, on one side it shows Wolf's head/mask on, from the side, on the left side of the poster a ridged head alien. Dark misty background and in the middle are some decreased size images of fice characters with flashlights looking at both creature, caught in the middle. The Captions above the decreased size people say, This time he is alone This time it's personal Either that or. One Town One Warrior One Hundred Aliens Or. Trapped in between Their War Our World These are all fake, but my ideas, what do you guys think?
I'm a Alien fan over Predator anyday but the pure badassity( yes, it is a word) of the Pred in this trailer just makes me so happy. I think of the Preds almost in the same like Clint Eastwood in the Man With No Name movies. All business and no pussy-footing about it.
O-SOME!!!!!! cant wait for the movie
What do you guys think, I got three more poster captions. Look in the Sewers It's a Predator No It's an Alien No, It's a Predalien Or. A Lone Warrior Out for Revenge Or. One Hundred To One
Personally I think the Their War Our World is the coolest one, but so far I'm the only one answering my own question.
predator keep two Facehuggers ???
I'm sure there were more, just that they showed only two escape.
The trailer is awesome, there were a few things about the aliens that was about iffy for me but awesome nonetheless
I am absolutely elated with how this looks and can't wait for the release..........HURRY UP X-MAS!!!!!
It's time to Hunt
Ok, this trailer was awesome!!! I love BOTH Predator and Alien Franchises... ALOT... and I love how the trailer gave the feel of both Predator AND Aliens at the same time... and I do agree that the first movie was leaning towards the aliens as far as the fights go, but the moive really was Predator 3(With aliens) it was there story and everything, the aliens were just and I quote "Cattle" that the predators hunted.... so it had to kinda balance out. I didnt nessecarilly like the fact that the ONE predator was killing all the aliens and holding the both of em... BUT i would SO take it, this predator being an ULTIMATE WARRIOR Predator. who's mission is to wipe out the traces of all aliens, and anybody who gets in the, I also agree the Predator seemed less honerable, BUT I think he is a KILLER and on this mission it has nothing to do with the honerable hunt! and yes this trailer was way more exciting than the whole entire first movie.... Randomdude out...
So how many times did everyone here watch the trailer?
The first AVP did have a good story. But a least AVP2 being R wont hold back on violence and gore.
For all we know those two aliens he is holding could be impaled on something or partially netted. But I'm also guessing this is a really brief shot and wolf is setting his cannons up to shoot them both at the same time. It wouldn't be much of a battle if this predator wasn't capable on manhandling the aliens to begin with nor would it be nearly as fun to watch. My only real concern is the stuff with the kids holding the shoulder cannon, all those kids running around give it a hidden teen slasher feel. As long as they all die, i'm cool though :P
if you hit the right nerves you can paralize an animal for a short time,people do the same with dogs and lions...and other people!.So the aliens whould'nt have to be inpaled,you'd just half to get the right nerve.And the laser tracking system has multiple functions,like X-RAY,and so forth,so that explains The Wolf using the lasers on the two aliens,so he (or she if you go by some books)whould be able to tell if he got the right nerves!!! ;D ;D ;D .
then again,i might be wrong! :D
To PREDALIEN-K:About 20+ times!(Hey,i cant help it if its that good! ;D ).
actually its a predator and a alien fallin in the elevator... whatch closely and youll se 2 set of legs
Does he temper his weopons like the pred in predator?.does anyone know??.
Do any of you remember the aliens from the Aliens vs Predator universe set back in 93???.I thought they where awesome!!!.It whould be cool if they had some like them in AVP2!!!.
We know the medkit will be there in some form... The hybrid spiking wolf looks like a good time for that med kit to make an appearence. I also have my doubts this is the final battle in the film as well.
Zen, you take crazy fanboy over-analysis to all new extremes.
For the scene where he holds the two aleins together I don't think he'll shoot them with the cannon as this would cause a massive acid splash. Also didn't the first still come from this scene? Maybe he offs the one in his left hand then turns and thats where we get the first still from. Also I agree the whip scene and the Predalien scene look to be in the same place probably one after the other, but in one he has a mask on and when he gets spiked no mask so maybe the Predalien rips it stright off his face?
Very confusing shot below. The Predator is on the left. On the right, it’s the Predalien. But on the second shot it turns and it looks like a young Queen. I hope it isn’t but it’s been suggested that it’s a Predalien Queen. A queen wouldn’t have the pipes on its back or only two arms. Looks a lot like a Praetorian from the games too. Hi mate i think your wrong there . Those 2 shots are of the same scene and its defo the predalien .its a turning shot .you can also tell by the dreds on it and the horns on its back .
I just noticed something kind of fun. In the Predalien image where it's facing the camera, I took note of something goofy around it's tail. At first I didn't think about it... but as you carefully and slowly watch the trailer.. you'll see that the that weird thing around its tail is the Predators whip an as the Predalien turns it's yanking the whip out of the Predators hands... you can actually see a little string of blackness go flying off behind the alien... just thought you folks would think that was fun.
Revility: I also think that. If that Predator is the Wolf who is harpooned by the PredAlien's tail, then I think he will survive this injury. Maybe it isn't a deadly stab. Or he could be an other Predator... ???
i cant watch the trailer.... ive got dial up! :'(
this film is so gonna rock i kinda had a feeling it was gonna be better than the first because it had no paul anderson so it did it for me and also at the end when the kid says to the alien f**k you does he shoot it with a pred sholder cannon because it looks like one im sure of it
but yer, trailer sounds amazing. im so glad theres gore to be found. i havnt seen a skinned body since predator 2, its been a long time.
hmm, call me crazy, but this IS a serz question: how do we KNOW its a predalien? (i havnt seen trailer yet so im not positive)
LOLO the Tust give it away
iz ther any more evidence of the pred avin xtra tusks?
To bug hunter:If you can find the right still,then you can see that the predalien has very similar facial featers as the predators.That and its gigantic! ;D .
I realy hope Wolf makes it out alive.But i also dont want him to make it because it whould'nt be like the other three movies!.WHY DID THEY HALF TO MAKE SUCH A LIKABLE PREDATOR!!!.WHHYYYYYY!!!!!!.
Elder predator on you-tube should make a music video with all 7 movies and the AVP2 trailer to AC/DCs shoot to thrill and fire your guns! ;D .
Looks like this movie doesnt support the aliens very good. In AVP an alien(grid) is able to kill 2 preds in a row. But in this movie a Predator is able to grab 2 aliens at the same time. Well unless his a skillful pred not like the ones in AVP they were teenage or something. Why would a predator kill a woman with no weapons? Thats not honor or something(like in the Predator movies).
I fully support Zen on the ACDC Idea ;D haha!
i loved the trailer.. definitely made the wait worth it. so many htings about it that just i think brought back what was missing in avp. -of course the infra-red which everyone else has said as well. -i love the hospital with all the secreted resin everywhere, plus if there are lots of patients then guess what, lots of hosts as well. -i liked the flashing eyes as cheesy as that is, and the cop getting speared in the woods( no doubt running from extreme chaos which makes me wonder how the rest of the search party will get decimated. -i dont thin that the trailer revealed to much about the aliens in the sense of the amazing shit they will prolly do besides the whole bedroom window thing. -the girl getting impailed my the shuriken did have a gun therefore was armed. and then made wall candy -to answer the persons question about the predaliens features obviously the mandibles but i allso noticed the spikes on the top of the head( like a predator) -finally to the alien lovers pissed aobut the pred grabbing those two, they do try to defendt themselves with but for some reason i think the directors wanted them to seem inferior, but its a little scene gives us pred fans a break.
also during the montage at the end that person in the hospital getting nailed in the face is killed by the predalien, you can see the mandables awesomely in this shot(1:53)
AVP FAN: There will be other Predarors who will be killed by Aliens. This was said by Colin Strause. So, don't worry! ;)
you guys blind? those 2 pics are the same its a pred alien. if you watch the trailer slowly frame by frame the pred alien turns side ways and YES it loks different but its the same creature and not that guy is not holding a flashlight. if you look closely they guy who says f**k YOU and kills the alien with a shoulder cannon is wearing what looks like a vest maybe kevlar or whatever and before that a guy holdin something gets a alien tail through his vest. its the same guy so its safe to say hes not holding a flashlight, but the shoulder cannon
that pred holdin the aliens was a little much BUT the guy made a good point it could be he set them up in a trap and was just holding them up. not holding them in place. they make be unable to move. nonetheless the pred deserves some f**kin merit. the 3 preds in avp 1 sucked. yes they were young but they all got rocked
There's only one predator in this film ? Because when you see the trailer you see the same predator.
they may be keeping the other preds as a backup for the end of the movie jk? if the bros hav confirmed other preds then im guessing its towards the end?
does anyone av any art, concept art or fan art frm this movie yet?
Hey guys, first time here. Enjoying what I've read. Hope you don't mind if I give my .02 "Ricky (Johnny Lewis) gets impaled by an Alien’s tail in the hospital (?). Also notice that he drops a Predator shoulder cannon." Looking at this scene frame by frame, it looks like he carrying a weapon. When the scene first stars, he is holding it as a weapon. What looks like a light when he is dropping it looks like a reflection of some outside light source. I'm pretty convinced it is a shoulder cannon. Looking at the Pred vs. two Alien in the sewer, it looks like he is rising up from underwater. It's possible he took them by surprise and it takes the Aliens a few seconds to realize that trying to "jaw" their prey isn't working and switch to using thier tail. Just thinking of Aliens towards the end of the movie. If I remember correctly, when Ripley is in the exo-skeleton the Queen tries to "jaw" her. When she can't get her, she then starts using her tail to get at her. Also, Ripley had the Queen by the throat and the Queen was having problems using her tail accurately. Is this the same case? ??? I haven't seen Aliens in about three months so I could be off in my analysis. If I am, please let me know. One last thing. Am I reading correctly that there is only going to be one Predator in this movie?
@ jath yes there will b only 1 pred for the most of it anyway...he will be the main pred in the film if theres othere preds at the beggining or end is unknown. BTW i read somwhere that the predalien molts into a predalien queen..... not sure if this is true..
So, there is going to be only 1 badass Predator and a horde of Aliens? Doesn't seem very fair... to the Aliens. I liked the trailer but I hope, like someone already mentioned, that it doesn't turn into some teen slasher flick. Don't know if I like the idea of a predalien queen.
im not sure about a predalien queen either but the thing is the predalien in the picture looks nothing like the predalien in the trailer so..... who knows ???
DAMN its great to see this site back online for to days it has bin off line
yeah what was up with the site being down anyways? and about the Predalien molting... if it does indeed molt AFTER the tussel with the Wolf in the pic, then it's safe to say that Predator does use some form of med kit to heal himself and continue the hunt. so yay it's not the end of the movie being depicted in that pic.
Cool, Predalien molting Queen, not final showdown, dual plasma casters, hand-held casters, razor whip, more bad-ass Aliens, more experienced Predator, and possibly a glimpse at a Predator Mothership (BTW The ship in AVP was not a mothership, motherships for Pred's are supposedly HUGE!)
I think all of you might be nuts! The trailer is a MAJOR disappointment. It takes a lot more than gore and the F-word to make a great movie. They have taken an awesome franchise, brought it out in front of everyone, and pissed on it! >:(

Blaspheme if I ever heard it.............{NEWT} What do you lke? AVP or the newborn at the end of AR???????????????????????????????????
the previews rocked i've seen it so many times and it still looks so awesome. paul anderson's verison of avp 1 was so disappointing and also very bad acting and the special effects looked like crap. now this is what the fans of the alien and predator movies wanted a good die hard action pack roller coaster ride like in Aliens and Predator. i just hope that this movie does very well at the boxoffice. someone should show paul anderson how to direct a great movie such as Aliens vs Predator not is sissy verison of alien vs predator.
I watched it about 15 times and can't freaking wait to see the green-band. However, I can safely say this movie will be far from the best of the franchise. The main reason = predalien. I think predalien was "pretty much" the only thing wrong with AVP. It's so unreasonable to have the alien all of a sudden(as far as the movies go) take on the physical characteristics of it's host. I mean, in Alien3 it didn't come out and bark or moo at anyone or grow bull horns or floppy dog ears and don't even try to say it moved differently because it was just the same in the other movies. The second reason = questionable cast. I think someone that might have carried the movie would be (just spitballing) one of the old James Cameron movie/1980's actionish types like Brian Thompson otherwise known as one of the punks from Terminator or the villian from Cobra.
Hi guys, my thought: In the first AVP the aliens were sort of "powered" with the initial electric shock at the queen (in fact she produced more eggs in less time, and they grown in very few hours instead of more like in other alien films). Connect this at the thing that the preds in AVP where youngs and without experience, and, i think, you'll have the preds "owned" by aliens in AVP. In AVP2, the main pred seems to be fully adult and skilled, and the aliens seems to be the "normal" ones from ALIENS: Final Fight, stated that, i think that the pred taking the 2 aliens it's quite acceptable. Byez
I was waiting for the latest screenshot and trailers for this movie!I was waiting so long until this movie will come out! ;D
i really like like the idea of a predqueen that was mentioned earlier. but i would think that the aliens need a base queen to keep the species "pure" if u know wat i mean. people who ahve played "extinction" on ps2 will know wat im talking bout
read ALIEN EARTH HIVE PURE ALIENS derived from pure face huggers -Praetorian -Ravager -Carrier the above are special Aliens from Pure face huggers only layed by the Queen if there is a huge hive
if you read the book they sent off these millitary dudes called Beserkers that were on this drug called Fire that made them super stong and smart they had these giant mecs that were acid proof and indestructible thats what they thought they went deep in to the hive and they ended up going geting all killed by Praetorians the one Alien calls they did not know about
the graphic novels are bad ass
THat very last shot in trailer the guy is using the predators shoulder canon to blow up that alien above his head. Its clearly a predator weapon. I noticed it first day and dont know if anyone noticed that.
Guys, it's definately the pred-alien. ;) I must have watched the HD trailer about 40 times now. lol Frame-by-frame, normal, etc. :D J, what I meant by comparing it the the comics, novels, etc. being a fatal flaw is that they've greatly skewed the abilities of both species. Personally, they differ from the films they're based so much that I dislike them for the most part. I''ve been wanting a match up between the two species ever since I saw Predator back in '87 before the comics were even launched, but even then I knew that the encounter between the two species would require the predator to greatly change his tactics. Combating aliens would be completely different than humans. The problem is when the AVP comics were first released the authors tried to retain the feel of both Predator and Aliens (to a fault), and the only way they could do that was by dumbing down the aliens and suping-up the preds. Accurately speaking based on what we've seen in the Alien & Predator films, physically the preds would be outmatched, but technologically and intelligently the aliens would be outmatched.
AVPR alien figure. http://www.necaonline.com/article/detail/138
Regarding the seen where wolf is holding the two warriors by the neck and judging by everything else we've seen so far, I wouldn't by surprised if the Strause Bros. orchestrated the scene to play out where both warriors try to impale wolf with their tails at the same time and he "deftly" dodges them both and they impale each other. ::) :undecided. That'd be a another kick to the groin. :P
its the best trailer i've ever seen. its amazing. Finally it has GORE!!
Just learned of the trailer today and this is TOTALLY awesome. I've been longing for a mix of some darkness of Alien and the intensity from Aliens. I'm a big Aliens fan and I'm warming up to the idea of having these two sci-fi horror titans duke it out in these movies but it's awesome seeing another movies created with Aliens. This movie certainly looks WAY BETTER than the first AVP movie and I'm SO wanting it to be Christmas time already!!!
this movie is out of control, ive watched the trailer too many times to mention, i cant get enough of it.
I freakin loved the trailer, espeacially the preadtor new weapon the chain thing was awsome
LOVE the part where the guy gets skewered by the predator like a shishkabob while running mid stride! :)
how mad would it be if those two face huggers made 2 queens which eventially mated and produced a super duper king/queen! lmao jk but yer serz i would throw my shoe at the screen if that happened. :D
Im liking this movie very much already, however a few things bother me. This movie reminds me too much of Resident Evil Apocolypes. REA was a good movie, but i feel AVP2 copied off of it. The nuclear bomb, the "airlift" and trying to containe this whole mess. And the predator whip is very cool, took a lottle while to warm up to because i thought wolf was going a little Ghost Rider... anyone else share my thoughts?
I think most of the preds are at the beginning.Every things going fine,the ship is on course,a pred does a routine check on facehuggers & eggs,but when he thinks the one is dead he anylizes it and sees that its dead,so he opens the chamber and FWOOSH!!.Its actualy alive!,and because hes not wearing a helmut,BOOM!,he falls over and a few hours later the predalien bursts out!.it climbs towards a vent,gets inside,and reaps havoc on the ship,it then crashes on earth,the nearest planet,killing most of the preds,and the predalien breakes the other chambers releasing the facehuggers and trys to start a new hive!.But thats just my idea.I might be wrong.
Well Jango1201,it does sound similar,but its not,otherwise youd have to say the same for 28 weaks later.And keap in mind,P1 and P2 where very much alike,as was A2.and as for the whip:cultures have been using whips for thousands of years.But dont get mad at me!.Im just the messenger! ;D .
I like Wolfs stealthy movement and speed after self destructing the ship. Reminds me of the old days...
@ zen: Not mad at all, it actually makes me feel a little beter about the whip, i like it in all just a little to warm up to it and i was fine.
so...is that predalien the offspring from the predator in AVP.... .because if so itll most likely be a pussy like the predator it chose to facehugg and the thing never had a chance..
i love the idea of this predator being a badass killer for the new Aliens vs Predator movie. i've always wanted to see this kind of predator killing everything from humans to aliens. i am so glad that there is no human/predator teamups like in the last one. i just wish this was the first avp movie and not counting the last one which is pointless with bad acting, bad director, and a sucky PG-13 rating. i do love the predator's duel cannons and using the US military to face the aliens which i did a drawing in my sketchbook of Aliens/Predator of our military taking on the aliens in the white house lol. but other than that the previews still rock and i just cant wait for christmas. who ever wants to email me just click on my link to xenomorphaliens@aol.com.
I think the Trailer is great. I think its cool that the peradtor empaled that girl to the wall but I didnt see a weapon on her so why would he do that isnt it dis honorable or something. Any thoughts?
O sorry if someone already posted my comment I didnt read all the comments.
lol Wolf's shuriken pinning her to the wall is pretty hard to beleive. In reality, it would've sliced right through her. Alos, as awesome as the new razor whip is, it being able to slice an alien warrior in half with a good hearty, predator pumped, yank is really pushing reality, too. :D ;)
I want Wolf to record voices and play them for you before he kills...
I was wondering the same thing, Thantos. I never saw her with a weapon, and yeah that would be dishonorable for a Pred. But I think, BM Hunter, that the whip contracted or something and cut the Alien before he pulled it back. Could be wrong though.
If it's set in a forest, shouldn't there be bear and dear aliens? I like the predalien queen idea.
Sorry Xeno... but a deer alien doesnt sound scary, what would it have? A big bushy white tail?
After watching the trailer for the first time all I can say is; HOLY MOTHER f**kING SHIT!!!! I knew it was going to be bloody and awsome, but nothing like that. This movie is going to basicly combine the two franchises as they should've been in the first one. A meld of intense horror, and extremely bloody action. The brothers knew what they were doing and I pray to god if this one is a huge hit that they come back for a third.
