Just a little update on the whole situation. Colin posted earlier today and said everything should still be on course for this month with the trailer. If it doesn’t come out this month, don’t say I didn’t warn you all. Anyway, that’s not my main news. I’ve got another revelation. Somebody pointed me over to this post of Hicks on Alien Experience:
“You want the hard facts? The trailer is being reworked to include footage from the latest scenes that have been filmed. And the scenes were not shot because the studio didn’t like the last cut of the film, as I’ve said in other threads, they were scenes that the filmmakers had always wanted to be do, but due to time and money constraints during principle photography (which was only 3 months) they didn’t get done.”
So what are these new scenes you’re wondering? I’d completely forgotten about this but several months ago we found out they were considering featuring Alien/Predator homeworlds but didn’t include them – most likely due to budget reasons. Think something along these lines. I can’t see how this will fit into the story though so maybe the homeworld will only be seen from space on a Predator spacecraft. Remember, the directors spoke about their AvP3 idea set in space? Could all be connected. Either way, this explains why the trailer is being delayed.

oh :)
Well ... YAY ^^ ... Still this Month ... hopefully ... oh jeah .. new Scenes. NOW LOOK PEOPLE! Strause gets more money to make this Film, show new scenes. Yay ... looks like Fox like this Movie very much ... man ;D. greetz
jeej i think its very great news the more scenes the better, at least they should post more pictures at least give us that
I'm afraid to believe anything. But... Colin has some courage for showing up there! I still have faith in the Bros! GO BROS GO!!! ;)
BOOOOOOYYYAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
The re-shoots took place to TONE DOWN THE VIOLENCE. Fox are going PG-13. Sorry guys.
sure....sorry, lost confidence
>>>> Fox are going PG-13 :o I'm ready to die now.
THINK AGAIN! Comic Con could have been a great place to show something but they pulled back alluding "R", right? If FOX wanted to cut the film PG 13 then it would have been done for Comic Con! (Sorry for mistakes but I hope you understand my point)
mmmmmmmmmmm...interesting :)
Really hope the homeworld thing is false. Especially for the Alien. The movies work because you don't know everything about them. Aside from that, if a "homeworld" has to be shown..........it should be in an Alien movie.
Alien/Predator homeworlds? Oh my God, are they deliberately trying to fill this movie with crap ideas?
I agree with you on this, Ermac... Why would the brothers risk creating homeworlds as matte paintings (can't see how they can do more without creating additional and unnecessary scenes) that could risk the entire movie up till then...? The homeworlds MUST be left to the singular movies, a.k.a. Alien 5 and Predator 3... Anything else, is just over-stuffing the turkey and risk a massive stomach-ache... ;D :D
Its an explanation that I like.
This is better news, than if the trailer been delayed a month is bad.
Sorry to cause offence, but how do we know this information is accurate?
all i know is if this movie goes PG-13 im not going to the theater to watch it.
I really hope they aren't going to make a PG-13 theatrical cut. :-[
No PG-13 Noooooooooooooooooo
A lot of BIG assumptions there. Reshoots could be for anything.
hve the brothers actually been given more money 2 work on the film or is this rumour??
if im understanding this right, they should just keep these scenes hidden for the movie not the trailer.
Why are people here calling the new filming re-shoots? I'm under the impression that they are filming additional scenes, rather than replacment ones?
I'm not against them showing the Predator planet but I'd prefer it if the filmmakers let the Alien origin remain a mystery for now. I've always felt that any kind of exploration of the Alien homeworld should be revealed in a proper sequel instead of a "vs." spin-off.
PG-13 that sucks! i hope its not! As for the whole 'homeworld' idea that sucks! i agree with some of the comments that the reason the film works, coz we dont no anything about the alien homeworld! Im not fussed wot those dude's put in d trailer! a teaser wud b gud! get the ppl excited! about the film! Im having doubts about these brothers! Well we will have 2 see wot happens!
colin wot you up to?
KEEP THE ALIEN HOMEWORLD A MYSTERY DAMN IT
this movie better be good!!!
The alien homeworld shouldn't be touched. But I wouldnt mind if they did a storyline for the end of this one and continued in the next about the alien getting back to the predator world and then havoc being unleashed much like the teaser for Alien 3.
Andrew Vola | 11 Aug 2007 13:556 The re-shoots took place to TONE DOWN THE VIOLENCE. Fox are going PG-13. Sorry guys. they are not doing reshoots...they are making entirely new scenes...asshole
Andrew Vola : What exact facts backs you to believe THIS movie is a pg-13? What EXACT FACTS, if you are joking then fine but you know jokes can not be well executed when emailing. PLEASE. PLEASE DO NOT JOKE AROUND LIKE THIS!!!!!!!! Its this kind of bullshit that makes the directers look like liars and so by saying that you could EASILY create a backlash torwards them. Try not to go around saying information like this no matter how small it may seem, the fan base here are just about holding on its thread.
Okay, get this straight. THE MOVIE IS NOT GOING TO BE PG-13. It is R. The trailer might be PG-13 but not the actual movie. Also the Alien homeworld is kinda. . . um. . . retarted! The Pred home world would be cool seeing it from outer space possibly, but for a brief second like at the begining. Thats it. I agree with kimahri the less you know about the two species the more you are frightened by them. This movie should be more of a mystery, unlike Anderson's where you knew basically everything that was going to happen.
I don\'t even know where this PG13 has come from. I never mentioned the rating once in the article.
im normally the optimist... still trying to be... i believe the brothers can make this film work (due to the info so far) but have also started to find a lil negativity building up within about the reasons for the trailer delay... i hope & pray it rocks... the thought of seein the alien home world would make me ... in my pants!!!!
'Alien home world'? Haha! And how do you imagine the aboriginals there? Like the well-known Xenos? Since we have never seen different versions of them (Predalien is gona be the first) and we are a Back-Water planet actually it is impossible (I mean they can't infest a planet full of humans because we are rare). If a home world is for show then it is definitely gonna be Predator's. ::)
DAMN WHAT NEXT?? PREDATOR SAT AT HOME WITH A CUP OF COFFEE..AND THE FINANCIAL TIMES???? KEEP IT A MYSTERY!!! I DONT WANNA KNOW WHERE THEY COME FROM!!
JESSE... don't give them ideas!!! :D ;D ;D
It would be cool if they had the royal guard aliens from the comic books in the movie. (See Aliens Earth Hive.) I remember they were also in the CAPCOM AVP arcade game back in the mid 90's. Anyone here ever play that game?
*sigh* It always seems to be bad news, good news, bad news, good news with this movie! :P
Actually, apart from the title and the rating, it's all been bad news thus far.
@ PREDALIEN-K I think you're referring to the Praetorian, that's sort of like a guardian to the Queen. They'd be interesting to see, but I'd limit them to the Xenomorph's homeworld until there's a better chance to explore their biology in full. (Like getting a look at a fully established hive)
They better not touch the Alien homeworld. The only people qualified to do that are Ridley Scott and Dan O'Bannon. They can mess up the Pred homeworld all they want though.
This is said about the first ALIEN movie on IMDB. "Originally, no film companies wanted to make this film, 20th Century-Fox had even passed on it. They stated various reasons, most being that it was too bloody. The only producer who wanted to make the film was Roger Corman, and it was not until Walter Hill came on board that it all changed. 20th Century-Fox agreed to make the film as long as the violence was toned down; even after that they still rejected the first cut for being "too bloody"." Too bloody? I hope FOX dont think so this time around. ;)
mavve : The problem with foxs is that the are still in the box on how truely BIG the Alien franchise is ( hell perhaps they do know and are beginning to realize that what the Strause Bros done is something truely special). Fox had better know exactly that THIS type of movie deserves THAT kind of treatment, This is new for them perhaps so are possibly trying to discide how to market it. E.g Alien - Horror movie Aliens - War movie
I always liked Scotts idea of the alien homeworld..... a planet so vicious that the alien is at the bottom of the food chain. ;D
Im more concerned FOX not seeing this franchise as BIG anymore. :-[ I want horror/war.
Yeah! I want that Alien`s and Predators homeworld be kept a mystery too, for a while longer at least. I want to see those in seperated movies of Alien and Predator.
the only one you has the ability to show the Alien homeworld is H.R. Giger himself!!!! And not with the crabby A:R AVP Alien desing nowadays!! Only the real Alien, the biomechanical one, could justify to let the origin revealed!!!
oh well it's cool that he at least came forward and gave us an idea of what's going on rather than hide like other directors/producers.
So, we have approached to the most interesting. For me it is the best news for the last half a year. Great ideas are embodied in great film. Now to me it is indifferent, when there will be a trailer, I know the main thing - I wait for film. Other empty сотрес&# 1072;ние air. Thanks Brothers! 8)
why couldnt it be fit into the story???? we dont even know that... yeah yeah the predator comes to clean up the mess, but there could be something else to it..
i have 2 questions sum1 res[ond please ;D 1. have the strause brothers actually been given extra money 2 fund the film?? 2. will they actually show the alien or pred home world?? (iin ur opinion?)
I'm with Darkness, what is with all the PG-13 talk? That's kind of out of left field... It'll be R, no doubt. Anyway, Fox marketing was telling me end of September too, D, so I know it's all a bit confusing. If the directors are working hard to get the cut finalized for the end of August, all the better. Maybe PR just has a more generous estimate...
Correct Shrek. They have been given some extra dough for new shit. Guess that's what happens when you make a kickass film. :D I'm "wtf-ing" over the PG-13 talk as well. Trust me, LOL, this film will NOT be a PG-13. :o The trailer is still due this month.
Said about FOX and Alien 3... "William Gibson wrote a very early script treatment for the film. As Sigourney Weaver's involvement was in question, the main focus of this script was between Hicks and Bishop, two characters from Aliens (1986). Many consider this to be a much superior script. The only carry-over from this original script, however, is the bar-codes on the back of the convicts' necks." "TheDigitalbits.com directed harsh criticism of the disc, pointing out that the studio had cut the documentary to delete a handful of behind-the-scenes clips in which Fincher openly expresses his anger and frustration with the studio" Can FOX do it right this time. I havent seen "Alien 3 Assembly cut" yet, is it better then the original?
Have yet to see it as well, heard it was.
Think its better, I always wondered about this wierd editing when Ripley meets the alien by herself. "At one point, David Fincher was denied permission by the film's producers to shoot a crucial scene in the prison understructure between Ripley and the alien. Against orders, Fincher grabbed Sigourney Weaver, a camera and shot the scene anyway. This scene appears in the final cut."
Mavve: actually, Gibson's script is pretty average, if you read it. Lots of eye candy sure, but the story's nothing special and the characters suffer absolutely no evolution at all). Besides, he just came up with these crazy-ass ways for the Aliens to reproduce themselves (for example, at the beggining there is an egg inside Bishop, which I guess was implanted when the Queen ripped him at the end of the 2nd movie). I really don't know what to think about these re-shoots/new scenes. For one, I really don't want to know about the Alien's homeworld. I mean, what would be the point of that? Besides, the more I think of it, the more obvious it becomes that the Aliens can't have a homeworld at all. Same goes for the Predators. Why spoil the mistery, anyway?
@Edward: Seems average yes, but at least the main characters are stil alive. Thats the good part. :)
I wonder if the alien actually has a true home world, perhaps they are just a common ( yet deadly) parasite that just eats it's way around the galaxy?
Ummmmmmm, no.
Wow... this is great news. It just amped my excitement more about the movie.
Also... I'm glad that we will at least some scenes set in space..
I agree. The alien homeworlds have to be shown in an Alien movie!
Since theyre not re-shooting to make changes the only reason I can think of for why theyd do this is because they like the movie and are willing to invest even more in it, maybe to set up more sequels? I dont know, I cant think of any reason for this to be a concern though. I agree with the comment above. Im glad theres going to be a couple more scenes in space, that makes it seem more sci-fi. I dont see any chance at all of it being PG-13 either. That would make it too much like the first AvP and turn off a lot of people. They know that. My guess is the budget probably isnt huge anyhow, so they should be pretty confident that they can get their money back with an R rated movie. They risk a total bomb if they make it PG-13.
well remember in the first AVP we were "treated" to some scenes set in space... set in the Predator craft. we all know how intriguing and "mesmerizing" those space scenes were too, don't we? heh :-\
@Epsilon: Actually, I liked those scenes. The Predator helmets referencing Alien, the Preds getting armed, the Weyland satellite and that shot of the ship flying over the moon were pretty cool.
This talk of an alien homeworld is disturbing for me. I always believed that the aliens were a biomech weapon created by the jockeys and therefore do not have a homeworld, unless they got out of control and exterminated the jockeys and took over their planet. I have always supported this theory and will continue to do so, until a movie proves otherwise!
If they show the home worlds then YAAAAAAAY!!!.Ive been waiting for over ten years to see them!.This is going to be the greatest movie ever!!!BOOOOOOYYYAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
From what i read the predators became a space faring species and happened across a planet infested with aliens some 20,000 years ago and took some of the eggs.Whenever they found a planet with unwerthy prey they whould take some of the inhabitants for experiments and send down a ship filled with eggs.And besides,the predators have colonized many worlds,turning them into home worlds.And as for the aliens,because of the predators they to have many home worlds.So the chances of them showing the original home worlds is 1 in 1,000,000!.Even earth was a home world for the both of them.(Superman and Batman VS Aliens and Predator book 1 and 2)So i can not see why everyone is bitching,pissing and moaning!.And as for it being PG-13?who cares!Just as long as it has good speciel effects,decent actors and a good plot line im happy! 8)
@Yatuja: You want PG13? What...thehell...areyou... 12? We dont want that. About the new scenes, I hope the brothers did a good job with the the movie and are getting rewarded in this way. Being able to do more for the movie. But it could be the other way around, we dont know.
read his posts, of course he is 12. at maximum.
EU does not count. ;)
You stupid morons!Im not 12!Ive been a fan for 12 years!and no,i dont want a PG-13 movie!I want it NC-17!And so what if they do make it PG-13?!At least i will go see it like a true fan whould,UNLIKE YOU!!!!
FUK PG-13!!!!!!!!!!! F**K IT ALL TO HELL!!!!! ARE YOU INSANE?!!?!!!! Anyway, I wonder how many additional scenes they are shooting?
And whats wrong with my posts?!At least I try to show my opinion!Whereas all you do is dog everyone else!Your not a fan!Your just a whanabe!
Calm down. Being a fan for 12 years is nothing compared to others on this board.
I have games,comics,action figures,cards,uber edition movies on DVD.I even have a pin from the avp movie with the predator on it that i got at the theater!What do you have?A movie recorded off a crappy cable station?A comic book ripped in half by your mama?Ya,thats what i thought!
OH!Ya know what mavve?Ive been a fan since i was a baby!You?
Where you even born when ALIENS came out? :D make up youre mind before posting, you dont want PG13 but u wouldnt mind PG13. And no, i have allt he aliens movies and i will buy them on Bluray when they come out 2. But im to old to be as nerdy as you.
OK,OK.im sorry.I got out of control and im very sorry,I understand that some of you have been fans since befor i was born,and im sorry.i did not meen what i said.Please forgive me? :-[ :-[
Hello? :-[
No, problem, shit... appens... ;) You want a great movie, so do I.
:-[
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Well,im leaving for today,bye! ;D (sorry Mavve! :-[ )
Yautija boy is a passionate fan like all of us ;D BUT I don't think a pg-13 is the right thing, at least as far as what the directers would be allowed to show. O yes, I f an Alien 5 is made then I believe these directors would be perfect : Ridley Scott - without question James Cameron - without question Danny Bolye - He would be a difinative choice, most def ;D ;D ;D David Fincher - Just look at Alien 3, AND I MEAN REALLY WATCH IT. he has an amazing way with the camera, had been able to atempt fear and terror at a great standard and having watched the making of this it seems that he had a tremondous degree of strain, he of all should be given that choice only this time round HE should have complete control.E.G. Fight club, seven ;D What all of you guys reckon???
Thanks PVT.Hicks ;) its great that they have been more money to fund the movie, it can only mean that fox like the movie :P . As for this PG 13 talk.. i hope that is rubbish, it would b a much better movie if it was R rated the movie could b ruined if it was PG 13 so i hope this is not true :-\ and finally about the homeworlds.... im not quite sure how they are goin 2 b ble fit it into the story line, they may have to use a narrator (which i dont think will b very goood) however, if they sum how fit it into the stroy and if it works then i am all for having the homeworlds shown in there and i would look forward to seeing it. 8)
@gameoverman: haha yeah i know they were pretty cool i was just saying that there weren't enough to truly make them "space" scenes i mean the total running time for them all was what... 50 seconds :D
EVERYONE, stop talking about the PG-13. ITS NOT TRUE! As for the homeworlds I doubt we'll see the homeworlds because the Aliens really don't have a homeworld. And they should not show the Pred homeworld because that makes them scarrier. The idea of some huge ship in space is cool. But the less you know about these the creepeier. (my opinion)
you guys dont know jack shit about the storyline or how its gonna play out or what theyre going to do. it could be plausible.
What do you think the chances of us seeing the trailer next week?
Hicks, if you were talking 2 me I said mine was an opinion, if you weren't opps. Dual Blade, I heard the trailer will be out next week but then again, I heard that two weeks ago so who knows. 50/50
It was aimed at every dumbass who said "They cant show the homeworlds it wont fit into the story duh-uh! :o " Oh? You know the story? Care to explain?
ME!!!! :o Know the story, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA . . . . . . .no. But I got an idea (opinion) on how it might go. Thats it.
HEY GUYS I FOUND INFO ABOUT AVP2 FILM FIGURES!!!!!!!!!! they talk about how they are making a the predator, the alien (which they have pics of), and the awesome predalien hybrid, from wut they described, it has a rigged head like the aliens, webbed middle part fingers, and the back tube things, it sounds pretty sweet, the site is here, http://www.figures.com/databases/action.cgi?setup_file=fignews2.setup&categor y=actionfigures&topic=155&show_article=420&n l=1 and also theres predator life-sized replicas available, got to www.planetavp.com to check them out there friggin' awesome also u can get more info on the figures their
WHat I think happens is the Predalien grows to adulthood and causes lots of mayhem on the Warship (Predator) The thing crashes back to Earth. There is also a Queen and her eggsack onboard that escapes when the ship lands near a small Colorado town. The Queen lays face huggers in the sewer which reach people and the Predalien is arounf too. Another clan sense this a send the fittest warrior (Wolf) to see what happened and by the time he gets there aliens are there, have nest in sewers and he has to exterminated them. Also the Howards (Ricky Dallas), O'briens(Tim Kelly Molly) Post (Nathan Dale) , and other families/people are caught in the middle. they basically need to survive this Predators "EXTERMINATION" of the aliens. The humans try to contact military, which doesn't come till end. More violence, no human survivors except maybe one. Also some absoulutley huge Predator ship that hold thousands of clan warships. Kinda like Trade Federation ships in Star Wars 1. Not a Star Wars fan but something that can hold many Pred ships and have an ultimate weapon like Dread Star or Death Star w/e it is. The Wolf kills Queen and Prealien and a couple of military tanks (when military arrives) It shows another Pred ship (small one, not huge one that I though would be cool) is shown through space heading towards Earth. Back in town, Only a few people made it to saftey after Wolf is overrun by aliens.
Huge wrist nuke set off and eveything within a couple of miles which is basically the town is destroyed and at the end beneath the rubble the new clan war ship lands and a hand rises from the ashes and it is wolf who survived and he walks onto the ship as he leaves the atompshere. My guess, pretty stupid but I think its cool. ;D Even though its long!
LOL! Nice story there, King 2776! "A hand rises from the ashes" now that's something I don't want to see in an R rated film... especially not in AVP2. It's just sooo lame.
Okay, fine he dies too. :D oh well some live some die.
can't keep 'em all ;)
:'( :-* :-\ :-X :-[ :P ::) ??? 8) :o :( >:( ;D :D ;) :) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'( :-* :-\ :-X :-[ :P ::) ??? 8) :o :( >:( ;D :D ;) :) Got bored and decided to have fun with the smilies ;D
Yeah, but something like this is missing: "Grandma? Have you seen my pills? Those little white ones in a sachet..." "To hell with your pills! There is a dragon in the kitchen!"
does evry1 believe that ' Wolf ' (the predator) will die in AVP2 ??
does evry1 believe that ' Wolf ' (the predator) will die in AVP2 ?? i think he will even though i hope he doesnt, i would like 2 no ur opinions thnks ;)
Shrek did u read my story plot of what I thought was going to happen. Just wondering. I think he will die, but I don't want him to. Like Elorra said it would be lame if he did survive with his arm raising from the ashes. I said it once, I'll say it again, and probally again. You can't keep 'em all. :-\
Wolf dies according to the AICN script review.
Youre an idiot. Im not even going to bother anymore... But I'll throw it out there anyway. *clears throat* IGNORE THE F*CKING AICN SCRIPT REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
meh I'l wait t'il the movie and I wont think bout the trailer. ;)
The bros and a producer of AVP 2 have said many times that AVP 2 will be HARD R so i don't think they would all the sudden go to pg-13, besides the bros would of told us that if that happened. It will be R.
Pvt. Hicks I expected more from you - I thought you'd be smarter than this....... From what we've seen so far, a lot of stuff has been kept from that script so am I an idiot in mentioning that Wolf dies? Nooooooooooo - but it was pure conjecture on my part....... ::)
I'm with Pvt. Hicks, ignore that script. I think the Wolf will survive.
On this I'm agreeing with Hicks. Ignore the AICN script. According to Bros and others the true script has differed so much. The part of him dying might have been kept but still, who knows. Oh well, can't keep 'em all! (told you I'd say it again) ;)
Sorry dude, I just had to burst. I don't care on the fact that you mentioned The Wolf dying, it's the fact you mentioned the AICN script review, like it has any importance to the moviet that the Bros. made. How many times must you guys be told?
Yeah you did kinda um. . . ."burst" Hicks but oh well. People always get on our nerves about something stupid that they have been told otherwise. But honestly, how MANY TIMES MUST YOU BE TOLD!
Ok, let's wait until the movie before we make any snap judgements. I'll take the Bros Strause word for it, for now, until I see the movie.
Opps did not realize caps was on, my bad ;D
ok basically The Wolf better survive this is Predator's time to shine, and i want him to finish the movie with a happy ending i want the final to scenes to have us cheering for The Wolf to win, because if he doesn't, all of mankind will be doomed to fall to the Xenomorphs. oh god i'm getting myself hyped again :D
How to be difficult probably the director. Everyone knows as to remove, everyone gives efficient advice and how many then the person will abuse the turned out result. We did not see while anything even a trailer, and already we do such hasty conclusions. Let's have patience and we shall cease to spit aside people who have decided to please us with a modern history about our favourites.. It is assured, it will be good work!
i think i will agree with PVT HICKS i think he knows what hes on about... ;)
BTW... PVT HICKS how do u no that the trailer will still come out this month when the strause brothers already sed that it will come out end of october....if we're lucky ?? ;)
Because for Pvt.Hicks, HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL... And he is being a true fan, meaning until he see the movie, he will stay positive about it... And afterwards, if it sucks for him, he will let us all know... I wish I was that naive... But years of watching bad FOX movies made me a more realistic SOB... ;D ;)
It wasnt the strause brothers that said it would be out in the end of october. As far as they know its still on track for this month..
If i where the wolf i whould take:Plasma rifle(burner),plasma caster,razer disc(for the humens),shurikan,net launcher,plasma bolt,side arm blades(SO AWESOME!),two duel bladed gauntlets(like what celtic and scar used),wrist nuke,telescoping spear,sword(like the one in predator 2),javelin,bio-helmet(with at least 10 visions),med kit,spear launcher,plasma projecter and the device that cleans trophies.But also a long time ago i got a comic(sadly though it fell apart)an alien and a predator with my aliens vs predator universe set,and in the comic the predator went up against two aliens.Knowing that he whould die if he took them both on,he turned on a device which made an instant clone of himself,allowing him to take on both aliens at once!I realy hope to see this device in the upcoming movie! ;D .
HAY!,i forgot to tell you!a few days ago i got the alien queen action pack!.She is so kick-ass!!.She's even more powerful then the omega-4 advanced sentinal!.She has a titan base thats 2x2 squares with a 26 clik dial with only 1 KO slot!!.And the egg base has 3 dials!.One is the eggsack,which lets you lay eggs and cannot attack or be attacked,one is the chained queen dial(20 clix!)with only 1 KO slot and the other is the harness dial,which friendly opposing figures can attack!.If the harness is "KOed"you pop the queen out and she becomes a free roaming charactor!.also the queen can be given 1 and only 1 action every turn without taking pushing damage!,and if she's attacked she can attack the figure(only)who attacked her!!.The set also included a predator,an alien,6 alien egg minnios which(when flipped over)become alien drone minnions!,i also got a 20"x30" queens chambers map,rules for the queen,6 victems and 4 plot twists!!!Its the coolest figure in my entire set!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Ya,there was supposed to be "and"betwean "friendly opposing" and the egg base takes up 18 squares(6x3)!. ;D :-[ ;D :-[
I was on the web a few weeks ago and i completely forgot to tell you i saw a pic of the wolf and his visor was bright yellow!!.It looks like they are bringing back the cool stuff from the other movies!!! ;D ;D
I THINK I HAVE FOUND SUM PICTURES FROM THE AVP2 MOVIE. but im not sure if its real or not or if im just being stupid :P CHECK THIS LINKO OUT ;D http://dzsejt.sfblogs.net/2007/04/21/avp2-minikepek/
Let me no wat u think ;)
Those 2 pics are from the movie
yay so i wasnt being an idiot :D how come they havent been put on avp galaxy?
I don't know, but they are in the movie
We reported them as news: http://tinyurl.com/3c4676 But I haven't put them anywhere else. I might add it to the AvP2 page.
SHREK bud, avp galaxy but them out time ago, thats where I first caught my first glimps, their small but wicked still. :D
As far as AICN news go I reeeeeeeeeaaaally don't like that site, I feel that any alien or predator movie they deliberatly rubbish it down, EVEN BEFORE the movies come out. When it comes to them, don't trust them, THIS IS THE SITE! ( as well as alien experience and planet alien vs predator)
True, but out of the three, I definitely think Galaxy is far superior(thought they are all great sites.) This site gives updates when they happen, not a week later. Also it's more properly handled.
BTW i like the idea of the alien home world.... that it is a world soo violent and dangerous that aliens are actualy at the bottom of the food chain... i never thought of it that way 8)
Seriously, for as much as I want this movie to be good, there is no way its going to turn out decent. Especially since they are continuing off a crapy story line to begin with. Why can't we just forget the first AVP happened and start a new story? I don't blame the directors, its most likely out of thier hands. But seriously Fox, you suck these days. 1000 bucks says they change the R rating to PG-13 last minute. Paul Anderson said AVP was going to be rated R forever, and then suddenly it was PG-13.
I think FOX realized how much the fans hated the pg-13 rating of the 1st AVP and will be smart this time.
PG-13 vs R who win?
I think of this as very good news. Fox wouldnt pony up the extra cash for those few new scenes if they didnt think it was a good investment. Hopefully this means that someone at Fox actually thinks this movie is a good one.
IRT AKC: The reason they let it be R is because of the small budget they had...at the beginning of production.
No comments about what i said?.Come on!.Who whould'nt want to see that device!?.
Exactly when is the trailer supposed to come out?.I forget ??? .
I was looking at my alien queen and for some reason i looked over to the right.What i saw was my brood queen,and then it hit me! :o .Aliens SV Brood! ;D .Think about it!.Both have a hive structer and they both have queens that lay eggs!.also they both take the dominant genes from the host speicies and the dominant genes from its own speicies!!.An alien brood or a broodalien!.It whould be like batman VS predator!! ;D .Which one whould you like to see?!.The only problem is getting darkhorse and marvel to work together ??? .
Hey,Whould'nt it be cool if they turned the predators from the other movies into horrorclix?!.they could also put in the side arm bladed predator from AVP as a unique!.Ya,13 figures!.the one from predator,the elder from the 2nd and choppers can be uniques!.also the star predator from the 2nd as an experienced and veteren!.And the veteren whould be missing half his arm!.What whould you guys(and gals!)have for the 13 figure alien set?! ;D ;D .
OK then Sigh,if they make the movie R-rated you can give me $1000,but if its PG-13 then i'll give you a sympethetic hug.Deal?.(HaHaHaHaHa!!! :D )
Im sorry!.I could'nt help myself!HaHaHaHaHa!!!! :D .Sorry Sigh! :D :D
No offense Yautja boy but. . . It's just me, I don't think a device like that would be too, believeable. Its too comic book type, I mean for a book its cool but I don't think it would look good on screen. :-\ the Predators are a highly advanced technological race but I don't think theretech goes that far. Although i heard from a friend of mine that there will be some super like computer on board the new Pred craft and it has the power to cancell out and controll any and all mechanical and electriacal items world wide. He described it as SkyNet from Terminator series onboard a huge mother ship that holds thousands of other Pred ships from different clans. That is where I got my idea from when I wrote what I thought was going to happen in movie on 2nd page of this . . . forum. Probally not true because he didn't have a source but I thought it was cool sounding. :P
Oh, and Sigh, your gonna lose alot of money when this thing is R. :D
Ya,your probably right.Now that i think about it,it does sound a little dorky.But the super computer does sound cool though :D .
But what about Aliens VS Brood?.Cool huh?.
Aliens vs. Brood would be cool. Possibly a movie idea for fututre.
For some reason I got a shiver, Fox must have something up its sleeve. I can't wait, go Strauss Bros. ;D
i dont understand....wat is actualy going on?? ??? ;D
If they're adding new scennes to the trailer then I suppose that recently new scennes have been filmed. This makes me wonder, with these new scennes how long will the movie last, I hope it's longer than AVP, that movie was short. Along with any director cuts or "special director cuts" editons I wonder how long would the DVD/Blue-ray/HD DVD version of this film last?
does evry1 actualy think they will show the preds or aliens homeworlds? i dnt think they will let me no wat u all think ;D
I don't think it would be that cool, SHREK. I think the Aliens don't have a homeworld and I don't think that they shoul show the Pred world either. Just because of mystery and the less you know the more scared you get.
in the film are the aliens supposed 2 b able 2 c the pred when he is cloacked, like in the game??
Possibly not see him. From what I understand their sense of sight is not all that good. They just have good hearing. I could be wrong but I doubt this movie will resembale anything from the game.
Personally, I look to making an Aliens vs Predator movie in 3 ways. A. You base it off the comics B. You base it off the games C. You base it off both movies, P1, P2, A1, and A2 the only thing that still gets me to watch the first movie are the stuff taken from the comics. Thats it. Really alot is from the comics. The only thing it was missing was gore and a really good story.
ermm..... my recollection is spurious on this and full of gaps so please be gentle in your criticism, but didn't the Predators genetically engineer the Aliens?? Creating them specifically for hunting. So, how would they have a home planet?? I'm probably wrong its been so long for me on this issue. Wanna say thanks to Darkness and Pvt Hicks for your words and since everyone has put their opinions about what they do/don't wanna see in the movie I don't wanna see Wolf kicking ass only to get done by the PredAlien and then the humans kill the PredAlien. If this Predator is so bad ass I wanna see him do his job and walk a way still undefeated. Also, the only problem I have with the theories being bandied about here about the PredAlien killing all the Predators on that ship ( if it does pick up from where the first movie left off) is there was a lot of them on board including some older ones who must presumably also be bad ass, how did they get beaten by one just one of these. I hate the fact that we seem to have Predators who are supposed to be lethal yet seemingly as whatever storywriter wants to f it t hey seem to be very flawed...anyone else think that, or is it really just all in my head??
Well I agree, I want this Pred to live at the end for once. But you can't blame Wolf if he does get his ass kicked. What if it was you, one alone Pred, killing a huge ass amount of aliens, then when u think its all over, a Predalien comes after you. I'd be thrown right off gaurd, esp if its meant to be better then both aliens and preds. I still think if anything, Wolf is going to die, but take the Predalien with him. I think he's going to hold him down, set off one of my favorite things, and blow them both up
KZWBAT (killzonewithbladesandteeth) I understand what you are saying. Truly and HELL NO it ain't in your head. I feel the same way. And here I shall answer (or at least try to) answer your Q and comment on what you said. 1. According to the AvP comics and movies yes the Preds did gentically create Aliens for hunting purposes from the lesser race used to breed them. In this case humans. So really the don't have a home planet. 2. I want to see Wolf kick ass too because he is an elder. Personally I think he will and I want to see him walk away victorious. However something tells me he will die in the end. I mean, seriously one Pred against what, hundred aliens. Chances are he is going to. . .lose. (Sadly) 3. I do not think Wolf will die from Predalien or Predalien die from humans. Can't really say much more on this because my guess is as good as yours. 4. The thing with the ship crashing to Earth cause of hybrid Predalien. my two guess right below here.
I think that there might be another captive Queen Alien on board, with an egg sack and see lays a couple of eggs which attach to other Preds and make more Predaliens. (scary but it could happen) then with all of the hybrids running around the ship's mainframe control system crashes causing it to fall back to Earth in the small Colorado town. the hybrids escape as well as Queen who lays more eggs in town and normal looking (non hybrid) Aliens are born. Second thought is the one Predalien sneaks to the controll system and destroys it basically doing what I said above, except there are no more Predaliens and there is still a captive Queen on board who lays eggs when she escapes in Colorado town and normal Aliens are born from humans. Personally I think the first one is correct because someone from the AvP 2 movie production team stated that there could possibly be more than one hybrid. Also the fact that there is only suppose to be mainly one Pred, if the many hybrids don't go around killing like I stated in second idea then some Preds would have survived the crash. But with many Predaliens all Predators would most likley (sadly including the Elder, not Wolf) die.
This sounds a lot like the Predator: Bad Blood comic-book storyline. In that one, a Predator is instructed to go kill another Predator, on Earth, who's gone on a murderous spree. It not only kills humans, but kills its own kind. I suggest picking 'em up on eBay or something. That's what I was reminded of when they mentioned that this was a 'lone Predator sent to clean up the mess.'
Well PredatorKing 2779,i was skimming through a comic(or was it a book?)some years ago(can't remember where)and it said that the aliens did have a homeworld,but they were'nt at the top or bottom of the food chain,they where somewhere in the middle and the preds went down fully armored and the first thing they found where the alien eggs.Not sure how they worked,they brought them on bourd and overnight they lost 1/3 off there crue,creating the very first predaliens!.seeing there potential,they took the predaliens(who where locked in a section of the ship)to a desert world to hunt,and then found out they made hives in the canyons which had queens.Afterwords when they started finding newer races they whould use an egg,creating a new hybrid(drone),and when they found humans the drones they produced where the weakest of them all,so they started making the young(50 human years or so)hunt them for the blooding rituel.Then again,i could be blowing smoke up my own ass! ;D .
Intresting Yaujta Boy, I would have to look that up. I never actually believed they had a homeworld. But remember, according to you this was in a comic or book, not movies so who knows.
oh ummm wtf said that the Predators genetically engineered the Aliens? cuz i'm PRETTY sure it was the Space Jockeys that genetically engineered the Xenomorphs, and eventually the Predators caught onto their sick plans and stopped them. i like to think they shot down that Space Jockey ship onto LV-426 during their brief and quiet war with that race. :D what do you guys think
I think this will be a really good movie. Its being made with step 3 I named above. Its being based off or bringing back stuff from the old ones. Its going to be good. ;D
The Space Jockeys created the Aliens is the first Alien film, the AvP story line through the comics, books and movies, nothing is known about SJ. Anderson made it pretty clear in AvP 1 that the Predators created Aliens. Your theory could be correct too EpslionOrpheon the Preds could have killed SJ and took their experiments away for hunting purposes. I doubt that we'll see any homeworlds in AvP 2 or that the orgins of Aliens will be explain, but who knows? 8)
wheres this damn trailer!!!!!!!! how long we got to wait, pull your damn fingers out fox and gives us the god damn trailer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't remember anderson specifically saying the Predators created the Aliens. i mean he suggested that they've been "using" them for a really long time... but that's no different than what we know from the comics. maybe they want us to fill it in the way we want hah
sorry, not anderson, by that I meant his movie. Lex tated that these creatures (Predators) specifically "bred" and brought these creatures to Earth to hunt. She said it while talking to Sebastian in the small hyroglific chamber. And yes they probally do want us to use our imaginations to make up what happened. ha is right, they just can't tell us the straight up truth.
I'm with YutaniMerc on this, I want the damn trailer too
we all want the trailer. it will come when it does, hopefully the end of this month.
Well, who's seeing Resident Evil 3? I have a feeling thats where it will be.
I ammmmmmm! maybe, thats in september i think the trailer will come out this month.
you know I was thinking (uh-oh) that despite whether AvP2 succeeds and even if there is an AvP3 ( one can hope) I really think the only way we as fans of this genre are gonna get the movie that will satisfy everyone is to have a serious budget animated/CGI film. I think that is the only way you will have a successful adaptation of the graphic stories. Here's my point: I have noticed a lot of slagging off of Paul Anderson about AVP, and while I do have to agree it was not the greatest I still liked it but from what I am led to believe Fox looked at and tossed out the window something like 40-45 script ideas a lot of which I am willing to bet were in the vein of the graphic novels but would have just been too much-much more than Fox were willing to spend on the idea.(More to come)
Anyway I digress, I think its hard to transfer what you do in the medium of graphic novels and comics to film especially for AVP and regardless of what the fan boys demand and think they should see in the movie I still think its gonna kick ass I think The Strauss Bros have a point to prove and are wisely keeping mum on a lot of it to let the film speak for itself. But the only way I think to get the true adaptation of AVP is animated and it was ashame that the animated film got cancelled just something to think about. Maybe AVP3 should be graphic if Fox seeing now the quality of what they've got by allowing more money to shoot more stuff they must be. From a business stand point they didn't wanna risk too much capital in a second film despite the miracle of the first one turning in the money it did. They knew they could justify this sequel but I think they were geniunely surprised at what the Colin and Greg have achieved with it. Sorry to go on about it so but I just thought it should be said
thanks Slasher Predator, its nice to know somebody else feels as i do. we have been waiting for this trailer for longer than i can remember!! but every time we expect to see it its pushed back again and again. were being lied to constantly!! not only that but we havnt even been given any (but 1) good screenshots, decent 'true' plot outlines or anything remotly satisfying. there selfish big brothers that wont even give us a taste of there yummy looking cookie
Ah,but YutaniMerc,will the cookie not taste better in the end? 8) .
Yeah, on how much I agree with everything you said, I still have a huge amount of faith in these brothers. There doing one of my steps I said. step C. Base it off of both movies, P1, P2, A1, and A2
