Title: Sigourney Weaver on AvP
Post by: Darkness on May 03, 2004, 10:21:23 PM

Over at WhittierDailyNews.com, they’ve had an interview with Sigourney Weaver about her new film The Village but they couldn’t resist bringing up Alien vs Predator in the conversation:
___________

…Which reminds us — “Alien vs. Predator’ is also coming out this summer. Was Weaver asked to participate?

“Oh, I think they knew my point of view. The reason I died in the third one was to avoid any more conversations about that. … Though, unfortunately, I was brought back to life for the fourth one.”

But even though she’s personally had enough of carnivorous space creatures, she wishes the fifth film well. And she knows who she wants to win, too. – “Oh, the Alien, of course.” says Weaver.
_________

It’s a bit of a back-track for her considering she was against the idea of AvP from the beginning.

Dude, one, if youre impersonating paul, dont be american, you have to be british, and also that would be kind of gross, considering how old she is. but If she hated the 4th movie so bad how come in all of the interviews on the DvD she says its good?

I liked the role of Ripley in the Alien series because she was such a badass, even before she had her DNA intermixed with the alien queen's. Just look at Aliens, She goes into the heart of the Alien nest alone takes out like ten aliens sets fire to the whole entire nest with a flamethrower and rpgs and saves the girl Newt. Then fights and kills the alien queen in hand to hand combat. All in all she single handedly brings the alien spicies to extinction until she is resurected in Alien Resurection.

I remember one comment she made before this interview that the only reason she would never be part of this movie is because she'll kick both their butts.  It is interesting about what Weaver had to say about the movie.

I remember she said i think on the 4th film Extras (Quadriology) "FOX are going to make AVP which I thought was going to be so bad/terrible/alful idea" So what who cares what she thinks AVP is going to Kick ass!

You sort of cant blame her for saying it was a bad idea, cos it could potentially ruin both franchises. But from what ive seen so far AVP is gonna deliver big time   ;D

Look, dont get Weaver wrong. She dont hate the Predthing. She only is afraid that this crossover could take down the meaning of a franchise that give her the  big success.  Personaly i think the crossover is ok. But the idea to put AvP into the Alien-Storyline is absolutely BULLSHIT !!!  The Alien and the Predmovies should stand on their own. The Reason is that all could be destroyd if Anderson make mistakes like the Jockey  become some sort of  a Predcreature ( like some of you think) and that would be the biggest mistake in Movie History. Fox should not lay hands on the Mythos which was created by Scott and Giger!

well I have my doubts on some of Andersons ideas of the direction of avp.  From all the visuals it appears good, parts of the storys context.  But Anderson's work before has me scared.  I walked into Resident Evil thinking that it would be as just as good as the games.  I was wrong.  I don't fully understand Lance's character is avp.  He shouldn't even be in the film.  But I can't wait to see how Anderson fits him into the story.  In ALIEN 3 that was clearly not a droid.  but What i read from an interview on this site from a fan who went to prague Lance told him he was a sythetic.  Why the hell would he be a robot when call in Alien ressurection had white blood.  You also have to keep in mind both ALIEN and predator franchises are riding on the sucess of this film.  Which is why i hope even more that Anderson doesn't screw this up.  I also kind of can tell that Anderson is trying to replace ripley with this lex character.  I like how they made sure in featurette 3 that she clearly stated that she was not going to be like the ripley character.  we'll see if shes the hero at the end.  In my honest opinion Humans or Predators need to win.  If you humans win it would kind of follow the other movies.  If Predators win it would make sense to the other predator films about predators still hunting on earth but not aliens because they don't exist.  I read a script for avp and I hope this isn't true but if anderson has the aliens wonder earth at the end of the film it will in deed scew up the other films, because what would be the point of the company trying to bring back a xenomorph back to earth for when its sitting in Alaska?  I don't want the series to become a starship troopers.  With WAR ON EARTH. Last thing,  Those predator ships why doesn't anderson link it to the alien films,  the crashed ship on LV-426 should be a downed predator ship where they kept aliens to invest planets for their kind to hunt.  and the space jockey was a servant of the predators which guarded over the aliens.

To JTrebat85 are you a hatter or a big fan because your sound like someone who worries too much about a movie.  One its based on present time here so Lance is a good way for the movie he plays the real Weyland not a droid.  I don't think the aliens win anyway because in the first Alien movie no one seen it before so there. The humans and Predators winning issue it doesn't matter the Preds will still come to earth for hunting remember Who ever wins we lose get my point.  I don't think it going to be a Starship Troopers ok thats a whole different story anyway Anderson is not going that route.

Look guys, for and most of the majority of you people have to be between the ages of 15-18. Im 21 years old. I grew up in the Alien Predator time.  First of all, this movie looks like its aimed for younger viewers, rated R or not that doesnt mean shizt. This movie does not even look like a predator or alien movie, It looks like that BullShit Resident Evil, with a few predators, and aliens in the mix.  This movie is going to crash and burn like hell.  Dont get me wrong, i love both of them, I have all the video games and dvd's, including the origional predator game for NES.. With that said. Ive got a feeling this movie is going to go down hill, paul anderson is trying to beef up the predator and aliens alittle too much. Look at the old predator. He was not Nearly as big as the New predator in the featurette. The pred's must be on a super steriod now. Man he over did this shit way too much, they should of left the shit in space where a it belongs. Give me a break. 5 Teenage predators come to Antartica to hunt some aliens.  WTF,  5 teenage predators, if that shit does not ring a bell in any of you heads that this is going to be another resident evil make over, then something is wrong with you guys.  I mean come on, Are the 5 teenage predators going to bring Xbox's and Cd players with them so that they will be entertained while they are not hunting.  This movie is a fukkin adult sci fi movie which was made for adults.  Predator 1 or 2 was not intended for some kids to watch. Do you think that when predator 1 or predator 2 was written they didnt think making the setting like this similar to the same as this movie.  Im sure they did but they sure as hell didnt make it that way because they new the shit' would not sell.  Come on dude, is he on crack, extending the predators wrist blades like 4 times bigger.......Wtf....ANd the shoulder cannon is like a fukkin buzuka. Do any of you all not see this being alittle over the top.

Ok so the pred is bigger. Have you never seen someone taller than you? I mean It's not like people are all the same size dude. Oh and You have my age right (16) but i know a bunch of people on this bored who are over 18. so shut the F*** up. I'm tired of you mr. knowitalls coming in here and trying to put us all in our place. You don't know Sh*t. Just because you're older than me and several others here doesn't mean your smarter or better.

I am concerned about the hole alien 3 thing. Bishop was the real deal in that movie. Which supposedly he is the real deal now... All I can see are story gliches.   Don't get me wrong. I'm looking forward to this movie, But I think it's simply gunna have to be thought of as not part of either series.
Title: Re: Sigourney Weaver on AvP
Post by: Killer_Kakashi on May 05, 2004, 12:11:55 AM
I still don't see how any of it is fair. And as far as i can see you don't know anything about the film. You're basing everything on other films he's done, the fact that most VS movies aren't good at all. However, I think you're wrong. Just watch the specials on the film, read the articles and then when it arrives, watch the trailer. This film is much better than you think it will be. Just because it has VS in the tittle doesn't mean it's gonna be bad. Just because the Director hasn't made any super hit films doesn't mean it will be bad. everyone takes time to get into something. And i think he may just pull it off. Every director makes bad films, half the time it isn't their fault. It could be the script, the amount of time to film, the budget. All those things (plus executives) can completely ruin a film and it had nothing to do with director. They just get blaimed for it.

Title: Re: Sigourney Weaver on AvP
Post by: Killer_Kakashi on May 05, 2004, 12:21:49 AM
Ok, Yarah, I'm gonna explain how it all works. When Alien3 was made their were no real plains laid out for AvP. So the story was written that that was to be the real Bishop. But because of the knew film, the story changed to this.  Charles Bishop Weyland founder of the Weyland company died at some point during or shortly after AvP. Years later after the company underwent some changes and began to develop knew computers (synthetics) they decided to make a series model with the looks of their founder, out of respect is my guess. A whole line was run off. then a knew line was put together, an attempt at making synthetics appear more human, by changing the flued to a different color and modifying systems. It is entirely possible that this "special" model acts as a representative of the companies executives. That is why he has so much control over the others their. They use the new bishop to try and convince ripley to let then have the Alien. the plain fails and so ends the films.  The reason he tells ripley that he's the creator, is because of two possible reasons. A: He is programmed to believe he is the creator. B: A ploy by the company to give ripley more of a connection to him and a better chance of retrieving the alien. or this other reason i just thought of that makes a connection to AR. C: this model did create the previous Bishop model. He is one of the original Synthetics that began the whole Synthetics building synthetics. Kinda makes sense when you think about it. Explains why the first Bishop was so kind and helpful.

Good points there KILLER K I agree with pretty much everything you had to say there about the Bishop thing.I believe that The Bishop was still an android  in 3 but had there red fluids instead of the milky white in case of injury and just as a fail safe incase Ripley didn't believe he was indeed Human. He could show her his blood or may have predicted that he would have been indured showing he has red bodily fluids to reasure her it was safe to give up the queen inside her.Also I am 21 and alot of other people on this site are OLDER than 18 so dont be nailing everyone on here with your know it all attitude, everyone is intiteled to there own opinion and ideas so chilax and just be greatful this movie is actualy coming out after so many years in limbo.

Also I could have sworn I read or heard in one of the featurettes that the teen agers are the ones on the pyramid and that the 5 older ones come to clean up the mess they left so to speak or somthing like that thats why we will see the Elder Pred and the others..Scar, Celtic that I believe to be adults.But I could be wrong so dont take this as fact from me but as my opinion.    ;D

Wow everyone has an attitude problem.  Well to ajustin67 I know were you coming from, but don't base the movie here on the game that was a totally different concept.  This movie is based on the other movies ok.  I never seen Resident Evil or played the games, but I think this well be a good movie for what I'm seen and yes I'm 20 so band me out because I'm with the younger crowd.  When I was young I watched both movies Predator 1 and 2 I knew it was rated R I nobody stopped me.  Now if the kid was from 7 to like 12 or something no they should not watch this or unless with a parent or adult.  About the 5 teenage Preds well their nothing like us as teenagers they are part of a different culture for one different species ok.  They were raised to train as hunters not play XBOX or listen to music on CDs or go and play sports and hang out.  The Predators are a warrior race not like humans who spend time being a kid until adulthood.  I appreciate you concerned of the movie, but I 've been a fan since I don't know when so at least don't mad at people who are younger than us because you think its going to be a kids movie most movies are seen by teenagers and adults alike so don't hate. To Killer_Kakashi you got some good points out too for the movie.  To Bringer of Death just wondering did you get my email.

Post by: Red_Beard on May 05, 2004, 06:28:27 AM
I think that if Bishop Weyland is still alive at the end of the movie, it will actually help explain something that was kind of forgotten during Aliens.  In the movie Bishop seemed to become a bit akward after the alien species were found.  He was always studying the alien facehugger, and when ripley talked to him he seemed uneasy, like he knew something they didn't.  In the film I originally thought that this was to make the audience unsure if they could trust him or not.  But now it could be possible that Mr. Weyland had programed all of his robots to look for an alien species like the one he encountered in Alien vs. Predator.  Maybe?  Yes?  No?

Paul Anderson stated he is a big fan of the Alien and Predator films. He also said he has thought about making this film for years and also while he was in film school. So I think somebody this passionate about a movie knows the kind of style this movie should have. True his movies before have not been the best. But he probably has more motivation to do this film then any of the films he has done before.

Post by: JTrebat85 on May 05, 2004, 12:44:33 PM
well I not sure about this whole bishop being an android in ALIEN 3 because if he is suppose to be an android then why does he feel pain.  He leaned over and felt his ear.  This is all just a mistake its just going to confuse the average viewer.  If Anderson wants to make bishop an android he'd better clearify it CLEARLY.  I don't know how hes gonna do that when the film is suppose to take place in the past.  Why not just say hes a clone, or that they froze him before he died of cancer.

Awww thanks there Aliminator.  To dmac yeah your right about people moaning I'm not moaner really I usually keep it to myself.  My point is if you don't like what your seeing then don't watch its simple as that. To Vekin your right about Anderson he even said he wanted to make this movie before the concept came up.  I believe with all his knowledge possible he is doing his best to make this movie happen and work for us the fans. Also I like want he is doing and so what  he did some bad movies at least they were entertaining to watch at some points.  So please people just be happy there is an AVP movie to go watch.     ;)

This movie will most certainly be shite. It capitalises on the franchise in order to pull some big bucks for the producers. The way I see it, Aliens went wrong as soon as they gave the project to Joss Whedon. I mean really... Who wants to see Ripley get it on with the alien Queen. What a pile of horseshit. And that baby hybrid one... for christs sake.  Predator 2 was also a pile of steaming horse dung. This new movie... well... My guess is that it will have some cool effects and a crap script. They may even have some rubbish nu-metal bands doing the soundtrack. If I hear system of down during this movie, I will throw my drink at the screen.  I really have nothing against this new movie, I will go and see it just like everyone else who loves aliens and predators. But seriously....  If this movie is actually good, then I promise I will punish my bad judgment by watching aliens 4 again and if

Post by: flonge on May 05, 2004, 10:31:51 PM
Jase: the music will be symphony... Anderson said so in one of the featurettes..  The only problem I have with this movie now is that anderson seems to be doing something similar to RE, which by the way was ok, wasn't bad, had potential to be a really good movie, but simply wasn't gory enough... or scary... Anyway Aliens and Predators are great creatures in movies because of their different skills, which are based on the coolest concept I've ever seen on film. But I feel the claustrofobic Antartica setting is redusing their playground. I mean a predator in the jungle uses 50 feet tall trees to hide, and so on... An alien in LV-426 uses the cool buildings with different levels, and ventilation complex and so on... But in this pyramid... I can't understand how the aliens and preds are going to be cool...  For instanse, why haven't we seen a cloacked predator on the previews... are they not using stealth... this would very dissapointing, since that is one of the predators trade mark to hunt, with stealth...  And the aliens how are they supposed to hide on walls and melt things when this happens in a pyramid,  * I hope they have a base or something...* And how big can this pyramid be? ... We'll probably never see a predator hunting from great distance...   Now when it comes to weyland it could simply be that he has made himself half machine/droid, and he simply bleeds red, this would explain A3 ending... and AVP if he survives...  After what I understood from featurette 3 I think there's going to be a team of droids with which are Weylands... now.. If the shooting scenes are going to be similar as RE then I will never forgive Anderson. Because that is the most boring action ever made, the shooting in RE. I mean , I think even RE fans agree with at least the shooting being a miss in RE. Anyway, the droids should have granedes and some different weapons... I saw a G36 in the featurette, but man why havn't he shown us some more details about the weapons or the tools of the droids, maybe some *prebeta motion detectors* some nightvision..? flashlights, helmets, bodyarmor, flashbangs, all these small thing makes the action cooler, combined with the alien and predator weapons... BUT I SUSPECT this will be some more ANDERSON lame action with no, brains.... like RE just small shots at a time, with no lucid overview of the battlefield.. or any sort of idea of what the HELL is happening to the characters... I hope Anderson have learned from P1, P2 and A2....

I love the characters and at least it has a story for it.  To Bringer of Death if you're there did you recieve my email yet or just forgot me, and yes I have Msn messenger I just never used it because no one I know doesn't have it thats all so you can chat with as long as you like.   ;D    So people stop hating and start loving or something this is the only thing I don't like is complaining.

About the wrist blades being so much longer: They're fighting Aliens with highly corrosive blood. They need to be able to slash them from a bit further away than they would a human.   And about the shoulder-burners beingthe size of "bazookas": The story says that they are young preds on a manhood ritual. They probably have bigger guns because they are inexperienced and need the extra firepower.

  :)   Despite seeing Lance Henrikson at this years wondercon and hearing his assurances that this story is one all at its own and doesn't borrow from the other aliens vs. predator stories (like comic miniseries and novels) it sounds an awful like a combination of them to me. The whole deal in the snowy region of the planet is from a series called "predator: Coldwar" where a Predator ship crashlanded in siberia and the americans and the soviets (they were still soviets when it took place) raced to destory the preds but more importantly get their goodies.  The "teenage predators" was done in the original AVP miniseries of comics (also a novel adaptation called AVP: Prey) in which young predators and their commander (a grizzled veteran) went to hunt aliens as a coming of age ritual. In the extended avp series predators (as it turned out) where the ones responisbile for spreading aliens throughout the galaxy so they could hunt them. In that story a female heroine human ended up forging a kind of unspoken alliance with the last pred (the commander) and attempted to destroy the hive, I bet that is what happens in this movie. This Lex woman will end allying herself with the head pred ( the making of featurette on the sight already refers to him as a major character) to destroy the aliens and save her human companions. Pred's are obviously the lesser of the two evils. Stll this is all my speculation based on the information, but Fox loves to rehash old and proven stories ( i mean it is a Aliens and predator movie) and we'll see. I'm not worried though, Henrikson also said there is already a contract for a second AVP and another alien movie too. So if this one sucks Fox has to chances at redemption. And even if it sucks it's sure to be entertaining still.

  :)   oh, and as for the acid, in the old stories predators armor was made out of the same stuff the aliens exoskeleton was made of, so it was immune to acid. But they woar full body armor when fighting aliens, for obvious reasons.

Alien will win because they are cold blodded creatures and predators can only see in heat vision  (anyone remember when arnold got covered in mud in Predator 1)?

Hi everyone, I've been an Alien/Predator fan for a long time and I've also played the AvP games.  I'd just like to make a recomendation for those who haven't seen the trailers yet, not to watch them.  I've seen only one so far and it was good.  But I watched every trailer available for the Matrix Reloaded when it was new because I couln't wait for it to come out.  This, in turn ruined my cinema experience while watching it because I've already seen all the good bits.  So if you want to really enjoy the AvP movie, try to watch as few previews possible.  Epileptic   ???  Peanut

i think that the avp movie is set in between the second and third alien movies or maybe im wrong what i think is if they had made andriods with red blood i thought they would of kept i.e ar "call" the droid .in respect to how the film is going to turn out i think that paul anderson writing his own script was a bad idea i mean come on the only reason this guy got to direct this movie is beacuse everyone thinks he is good at converting video games but the original books where out long before the videogames and the books are fantastic he should have got steve perry to do a screenplay from his book "prey" and had lucy liu in the lead role this book is fantastic the predators team up with humans to defeat the aliens and alien queen if you read the books the predators are alot more loyal to the hunt and will kick the aliens arse no questions asked . If he had read any of the books he would of used them i just dont seem to get how the predators managed to keep these pyramids a secret if you read the "cold war" book predators cant stand the cold they are cold blooded beings and need the sun hense this is why they always hunt in the summer it is true that the young predators train on aliens also know as hard meat but not on earth in some stupid pyramid. humans are the ultimate hunt to the predators because we have weapons and only fully trained preadators are allowed to hunt humans so i will see how it turns out but i think its going to be a popcorn flick for the kiddies and so fox can get as much money as possible out of us i think the film fans have been waiting for years for is going to turn out crap but the fans dont really count do they.   8)

I don't know.Basically all I have to say about this movie is that I am glad that someone finally had the balls to put the AvP mythology to film.Yeah i know its paul anderson blah blah blah.i personally would have loved someone liek james cameron or ridley scott to do it.but hey, at least paul showed some bravery and just made the movie.hey most people dont realize this but wut he he took alooooooot of guts. i may not agree with his proposed ideas for the film but i wont judge the movie until i see it in august. until then...thnx paul    ;D

Well, one thing I have to say is this: The commercial for Resident Evil 2 was really good, I saw it when I went to Van Helsing yesterday. So maybe they've learned their lesson? Or maybe some simple math?

oi paper tang im not dissing the movie all im saying it is very dangerous ground for some one to be trying to make a film in people love all the aliens movies and the predator movies so people are going to be expecting alot hats off to paul anderson for been the first to have the guts to give the film ago because it has been sat around for ages waiting to be made and trust me i will be waiting for the cinema to open to watch the movie the day it is realeased all im saying is the film is getting alot of build up i just hope it turns out good as it looks and not just some popcorn flick for joe bloggs and when it comes out we can all praise it i have been a huge fan since i saw aliens when i was ten and it scared me half to death i wouldn't intentionally diss the greatest creatures ever put on film so i apologise if it sounded like i was dissing the movie

Well for the past few days I've been doing A LOT of online and magazine research on AVP.  So far I am becoming more and more impressed with what I have been seeing. The new Predators have kept their trademark looks and weapons with some badass enhancements.  The new Aliens are also looking pretty sweet but theyve undergone some minor changes(for which i am actually glad).  I just cannot wait for this movie to come out.
