Seems Fox has pulled out of this year’s Comic-Con event, according to LATimes. No specific reasons are given in the article except saying the material wasn’t ready.
“The studio pulled out of Comic-Con on Wednesday, just a week shy of the massive movie fan convention in San Diego, canceling its star- and filmmaker-studded panel, saying clips from its slate of effects-heavy films just aren’t ready… Fox movies pulled from the schedule are “Jumper,” directed by Doug Liman and starring Hayden Christensen; directors Colin and Greg Strause’s update to the popular “Aliens vs. Predator” franchise; the Vin Diesel action film “Babylon A.D.”; and “Hitman,” starring Timothy Olyphant, based on the wildly popular video game of the same name.”
It’s not the end of the world. Just means people going to Comic-Con won’t be seeing the AvP2 Trailer. You can read the full article in this thread. Thanks to CloakedHunter for the bad news.
Update #1: CHUD revealed Fox pulled out because they were told that any R-Rated material wasn’t allowed to be shown during the presentations.
Update #2: Colin posted in the forum and said that the R-Rated trailer will be still shown online as promised.
Update #3: Greg said on IMDB that the trailer will be online about a week or so after Comic-Con.
Update #4: There’s so many rumours going around at the moment. CHUD have spoken to David Glanzer (director of publicity for Comic-Con) who said that they aren’t against R-Rated material and Fox will still be appearing at Comic-Con. So it looks like Fox will be showing something, but who knows if they’ll have an AvP2 presentation or not.

oh well lets just hope the online trailer appears soon
I was fuming until I read it. Close one. Bring on the website please.
WTF OMFG Im gonna cry!!! This is just getting sad Colin cant even give us a f**king pic no surprise there pulling out of comic con. Iv been so support've of this movie and its just biteing in the ass and im sick of it!
Relax dude, we'll see it when its done.
Bi annoying, then again, maybe they will release the trailer earlier?
AWWWWW cumon i was fully anticipating da avp2 tralier!!! ****dissapointment**** :'(
God Im So Tired Of Waiting. I mean even the 2 damn pictures that are found (from the Aliens vs Predator) was not given by the strausses to us. Only thing they did was confirm them. So can you give us something new? A picture? a trailer? something plz many fans are tired of waiting forever just for a damn trailer. >:(
Let us wait what Colin will answer. ;D
WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE THIS INJUSTICE >:(
Sure - that's not good for Fox's reputation. :'(
kinda annoying... tho living in London i was relying on the trailer on apple.com to be honest.... Colin will this cancellation affect the internet trailer release date? :P
ok just read this at movieweb.com so lil happier ;D Chud.com claims that Fox pulled out because last year's raunchy Borat presentation has strained their relationship with the Con. Chud.com's scooper writes, "(Comic Con) told Fox that there was absolutely to be no R rated materials during the presentations. The trouble with that is that all of the film's on Fox's slate are R rated, with Aliens vs. Predator finishing up a red band trailer. (I'm not sure about Jumper 's rating, but in typical Liman fashion that film has a long way to go before the editors can make sense of it.) Anyway they said the cost of a couple hundred grand just wasn't worth it when they could just release all the stuff on the Internet." YYYYAAAY 'red band trailer' !!!! ;D ;D ;D
That is a good excuse as any... it is so crappy I shouldn't even bother to comment... Whenever they present crappy excuses to cover their incompetence and utter disrespect for the fanbase community who, may I remind them, are the sole reason they are still making a profit on these movies anyway... There is no excuse for them to pull out a week before Comic-Con...Nor is the 'We don't want R-rated movies in CC' a plausible explanation... They can't convince me that after Colin stting that CC 'was a big event for us' just a month or so before, FOX only came t know about the CC's 'No R-rated movies' only a week before it... Does anyone elese smell a rat here...? I sure do... Sorry, I am just double disappointed: the AVP2 teaser/trailer taking even longer to show up, and Fox thinking we are stupid enough to believe their crappy excuses... >:( ::)
...*inserts long stream of curses here*...
It's like I said before - Greg and Colin don't have ANY control of the movie :( Stupid Fox!
I dont really care about this. Im just gonna wait until the trailer comes out on the internet.
Thats just irony of live, 5 minutes before i read this i was talking to my friend and said that the trailer will be shown at comic-con... im dissapointed aswell, but i think they will show the trailer at the end of the month anyway, i atleast hope so...
Lets hope they do 8)
I was a little upset that they were pulling out of comic-con. But now i am exciting, becuase this truly shows that Aliens Versus Predator will be rated R. And that we'll be getting the trailer online.
I'm just not sure what to think. In a perfect world, the "red-band" business would be plausible and we, as fans, should be a little more patient because the pay-off will be more than we expect. However, this is FOX we're talking about. The "f**k you" of production companies. From a monetary point of view, I can see this "mishap" as a good marketing campaign because when something actually does appear, everyone and their grandmother will be salivating for it. It's just too fishy for them to say, "yeah we're pulling out. waited til it was a week away, we forgot about that whole Borat thing. oops." Makes no freakin sense. Okay Fox, I'll bite. Just bring me something, damnit! In no way do I find Colin or anyone in his camp responsible for this, but I'd like to hear his opinion on the matter, unless he's being held hostage in an abandoned warehouse to keep his trap shut. Anything is possible with Fox, enough said.
At least AvP2 looks likely to be an R.
I don't really care about this as long as the trailer hits online. I mean I wasn't going to the Comic Con so it's not like having the movie pull out really matters. I also like how this movie seems devoted to it's R rating.
The red band trailer is quite "intense" :)
TO SAY THE LEAST :o
ONCE AGAIN FOX SHOW THEIR TRUE NATURE F*CK ALL, WERE JUST IN IT FOR THE MONEY
CAN'T BLAME 'EM THOUGH ;D ;D ;D
fu***g pissed >:(
"intense!" ;D ok im happy
Right on! I'm glad they pulled out. I always do ;)
All I wanna f*ckin know is if the trailer is gonna be online and when. COLIN, PLEASE THROW US A BONE.
Colin says the trailer is intense but when? >:(
In case you have no idea what a red band trailer is. check out the one for superbad. Superbad looks awesome! NS$W http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsW4pnzS8ic
Ok.. Colin said the trailer is still scheduled to hit online still.. PHEWWW...
Wow, I guess everything regarding this movie will only be shown on YouTube. Instead of debuting in the real world, it's all just another "Hey, look what I found on the internet."
The regular trailer will be shown before the films still. The redband trailer will still be seen by millions of people. All the major Nerd sites will pick it up. Ain't it cool, Chud,dark Hor. Relax people. :)
Bullshit. You know how BADLY my plans are f*cked up now? Its more serious then you think/it sounds.... >:( >:( >:(
So is the trailer going online on the 27th?
Billy, if that's anything to go by, all you have to do to get a 'red band' advert is to swear a lot. That's not what I'm looking for in this film. :)
I think the trailer is going online with the website.
Xeno, I know buddy. Redband also did one for the dawn of the dead remake that was full of some gore. :) I have some good vibes about this flick. Looks like the smaller budget might have given the brother more control.Anything will be better than avp.
Damn. >:(
ok i am drunk as most londoners are at this time on a thursday eve.... i love my alien films... predator i like alot... but aliens are still my heart... colin please let me know trailer will still be shown as promised at the end of july? if not then pretty please make sure the alien queen facehugger is a show in the new film ;D or else i will be very distressed ;)
there wont be a tailer!!! hope im wrong
Roach, I think Colin could care less about what you want, no offense, but im just saying.
And their failure to understand what the fans want is the sole reason why their movie will flop.
yessssssss ;D it's still going online thank god!!! but is it schedueld for next week also?
"Putting the 'Con' back into Comic-Con"
THE AVP2 THING LOOKS LIKE A JOKE FROM FOX MAYBE THIS MOVIE IS AN ILLUSION AND FICTIONAL AS CIENCE-FICTION AND SCIENTOLOGY
"Putting the con back into comic con" LOL ;D Can't say it anymore more simple. Trailer please :D
I want some one to scream JESUS f**k!!!! as they get bitten...........in the face. ;D
A week, oh man.
He said ABOUT A WEEK OR SO. That's no guarantee that we will see the trailer one week after Comic-Con.
Probably later knowing our luck. :-\
Maybe, we will see the film earlier than the trailer. *lol* ;D ;D
At this rate.. I am seriously doubting the movie releases this year. They should've and would've shown more by now. MAYBE there will be a suprise trailer in Simpsons. Smartest thing they could possibly do. Who watches the Simpons and aren't even just slight Aliens/Predator fans?
I agree. I mean, this movie is supposed to be released in what, five months? There is just something really weird about the fact that any big movie has pictures from the set, so why would Fox want to keep this so secret? And the trailer will not debut until a "week or so" after Comic Con? How is it that this movie has taken so long to produce and even the trailer is not ready to be shown? Maybe it's the Strauses' fault, but like Anderson, they are trying to play themselves off as the victims.

Colin, can you add anything to this?
Hello i from latvia, Latvia about Russia, me name Oleg. I wait a trailer, all will be ок, I am assured, that film will turn out better 1, though to me and 1 has liked, I cannot wait a trailer
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi34.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fd138%2Ftomato08%2Fguyz.jpg&hash=6822032e6038c6ede35e017503d09214c354ba49) its just one more week.
I wish they'd make up there mind. I'm getting fed up of being screwed around. >:(
Fox - this isn't good for the film. That's a disrespect. >:(
CORPORAL HICKS KNOWS BEST, QUIT SHITTING US MAN!!! >:(
I just hope Fox show something at Comic Con. Jeez even a teaser poster and I'll be happy... :P
isn't it suspicious that we havent gotten anithing major and the movie is coming out in less then five months or so. I 'm very anxious to see the trailer! :-\
maybe you guy's should just chill out a bit, i know how much it sux to wait cause i'm a die hard fan as well, but maybe since it's taking too long could probably mean that what they have planned is big and are working their ass's off to get this movie just right, remember we also don't want them to rush through this movie and have turn out to be a big mess, and from all the rumors about the film, it's almost worth the wait, only time will tell ;D 8)
very true...again, who knows, however, patience is virtue
Its probaly another marketing ploy. Get the fans up and riled about the film. Then give them the good parts of the film as preview. Then have it released in december and hope the public will get suckered in with the hype to make a slight profit. However a film like this should have had a long preview time. Look at spiderman 3. This just raises more questions on whether the film is meant to be a sleeper hit or train wreck ready to happen.
One of things about the last one that I didnt like was that they showed too much before the film came out. I remember they had all those behind the scenes things that they did with Amalgamated Dynamics workshops along with various clips and stuff. I remember about a week before the movie came out they showed one of the alien vs. predator fights on yahoo or something. By the time I saw the movie, I felt like I had already seen it. So, I am very happy that their's so much secrecy. I mean c'mon...what's wrong with being surprised. I'm just thankful they're making a sequel at all.
dont have that attitude Roux. thatll make those limp-dicks hold out even LONGER
It won't. Nobody but the directors even look over here.
Wouldnt be so sure of that...
:o :o
Do you honestly think executives are going to make such an important decision based on a single, random message forum, by someone who has no influence over them? :)
Well, the brothers strause did promise us that it will be something to behold. Gore and violents galore. If the show ends up going belly up i will never believe any directors again. No matter how big of a fan they are to the franchise. Plus everyone here already have very low expectations on the movie anyway. We just want to see MORE FIGHT SCENES!!!!! PROPER ONES!!! ;D
QuoteCORPORAL HICKS KNOWS BEST, QUIT SHITTING US MAN!!! >:(
Fox will always shit us. Thats what they live for, thats what keeps them alive, when they see us diehard fans suffer.
at least Die Hard fans got a GOOD pg13 movie. Although I do love Die Hard, not as much as this series.
SHOULD WE HAVE SEEN A POSTER BY NOW. I THOUGHT THEY STARTED ONE AT THE BEGGINING OF MAY?
