Well i think i'd be kinda ridicoulous to see the march of the Facehuggers...
lol. You wouldn't show them all leaving the eggs and running around in one giant clump, or like some follow the leader, with a lead facehugger(the equivalent of grid from avp. lol)
But rather some of the people looking for the hunter and his son could have been shown hugged and some more eggs would open up and it would then cut away, with the implication that about 20 facehuggers would attach themselves to hosts.
or a ship with that many eggs would make it to space jokey like....and i mean based on the amount the movie would need....
20-30 eggs is space jockey like? Last time I checked there were hundreds if not thousands of eggs on the derelict ship.
sorry bout that edited to late, they have alot mroe than that in the movie so it would require a...
MArch of the Facehuggers to "Ride of the Valkyries"
actually we don't know how many aliens are in the movie, but its a moot point, since most of them come from the vomiting thing. If that wasn't used, the film would feature 20-30 aliens and the predalien. Sufficient enough to wreak havoc in the town in my opinion, as one in alien 3 was able to kill around 20 people and unlike in Aliens, no one would be expecting them while they sneak in to grab hosts.
The factor that could have added to the number of aliens mid to late mid film, would be a queen born from one of the hosts. You wouldn't have to show too many of the eggs laid by it, since it would have just started doing so, so there could have been like maybe 10 more aliens added from that. The queen wouldn't have to be the final battle, the predalien could still have been. (as it would still be a little bigger/stronger than a normal warrior alien etc.)
Know I know that props related to the queen have to be still present in ADI's workshops leftover from both AR and AVP. Just showing a few shots of the queen before its killed wouldn't drain the budget too much, as there wouldn't be any epic chases or battles that require such articulated and complex movements or cgi.
And fox should have expected that certain things are staples, essential for an alien related film. They should have given sufficient money to cover all the things fans expect to see and additional money for things from there if necessary. But you don't ok money for a predator homeworld, if you don't have money to show eggs or a queen.
