Arrow in the Head, an extension site of Joblo, recently reported that a clip from AvP2 made its way to Amsterdam’s Cinema Expo:
“So for those of you who are looking forward to this film it should bring you pleasure to know that a clip of the film was shown at Amsterdam’s Cinema Expo and the crowd response was spectacular. The clip was prefaced by a short word from 20th Century Fox’s Tomas Jegeus and then the clip followed. According to Variety, the clip garnered a “shock response” from the crowd. – And I’m assuming that’s a good thing.”
Variety, who Arrow in the Head link to, had this to stay about the clip: “The horror clip elicited the desired shocked response from the packed auditorium.” So things are starting to look up for AvP2. It’s just a shame the article didn’t give some information as to the content of the scene. You can read the Variety article here and the Arrow in the Head article . Thanks to Darkoo for the tip.

those lucky basterds i wish i could have been there
so when do we get to see the clip again...geez
is the clip uploaded somewhere in the net?
Remember the clips for AvP? They rocked as well and we all know how that turned out.
I hope that this time it won't be like the last time.
Shit, thanks for that slap in the face to keep me attached to the real world Ermac. I cant belive I completly forgot about that.
the only shocking scene in AVP though was when the penguin scared miller :D At least we might get a few jumps in this one!
I wish they'd put it on the net... >:( Oh well, at least now my hopes are even higher for this movie! ;D
ERMAC = dont be negative! SOME1 GET THE CLIP ON YOUTUBE NOW!!!!!
The Straus Brothers=GODSEND....the franchises will be revived!!!!!!
true ermac, the only good scene that they released on the net was the only damn fight scene in the movie, it was not shocking at all anyway.
Hall ley lew yah
Wanna see clip... NOW! Why do the fans have to wait the longest? ???
I can't believe were not eaven geting a description of it!!! but let's look on the positive side, people didn't just like it they were shoked unlike when they had to show two not one but two clips for the first one and people werent shoked they tought it looked good... (go avp2 go)
Even though I can't wait to see a AVP 2 trailer, the truth is the first trailers for AVP "rocked" too and looked what happened lol. I hope they don't show us too much, because if they do it's a bad sign.
Awesome! I can't wait to see this bad boy. lol Waiting just became even more difficult. :P I agree that the trailers for the first AVP kicked ass, and personally, I thought the movie kicked ass too. It wasn't perfect by any means, but I still thought it was really enjoyable. lol ;)
OMG i dont know why peaple are talking about that AVP suckt it was a good movie it was a big hit at the boxoffice and with AVP there would not ba an avp2 i really enjoyd the movie it wasnt perfect, and be happy at least somone made avp jeezz :-\
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, the colin is going to come out here calling this BS
nvm that last comment i made
I think that compared to the other alien and predator flics, avp 1 was a piece of crap but an intertaining piece of crap. Avp2 cannot be like that it has to be at the least comparable to alien 3 or reserrection... thats my thoughts on it anyway.
AvP had a magnificent marketing campaig and I believe the sequel will follow in its footsteps. However I hope the Brothers Strausse have upped the notch and brought us something more than just mindless entertainment (shoddily made at that). Glad to hear the audiance was "Shocked", a word unused during the marketing process for AvP.
thank you "Gazz"
I do hope thatn more of the same "shock" will be in more scenes other than the fighting, depending if this clip was a fight.
I have a feeling it has to do with the setting. ;D :-\
Variety, who Arrow in the Head link to, had this to stay about the clip: "The horror clip elicited the desired shocked response from the packed auditorium." Desired response is what i am looking at.
Man.. I hope there is a leak... ;D
So I'm guessing that this is going to be the clip that's going to be shown at Comic-Con! This must mean that they're done with most of the major tweeks of the film except for the sound FX and the soundtrack!!! Woo Hoo!!!! :o
who knows if this is going to be the same clip at comic-con for all we know they might show this and more. or less.
OMG lets hope so ShadowPred! I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed! LOL! ;)
In the forum, Colin said that it is clips with temp effects.. so I doubt this is what they show at comic con, or at least not in the same state.. efx-wise.
yeah, but the effects must have been good to shock people, bevause i don'[t get really tensed when the effevts are not done, regardless of how badass the clip is, but that's me.
We kinda deserved to see this though now that i think about it. Look how desperate and sad we are... We come to this site every day for official news hoping for a PRODUCTION STILL, and yet some random people who could give two hoots saw it? Get f*cked Fox!
Maybe they are going to show more than 1 clip on comic-con, including the one from the Amsterdam's Cinema Expo. :-\
@Pvt. Hicks: I agree... I come here everyday to pass the time by during slow periods at work. I am always hoping to see a new update on the news page. I deserve some freakin clips! ;D
I dont think thats funny at all, i visit this site every single day... We are all hardcore fans (or most of us) and all we have is a bad production pic while the people in amsterdam saw the first clip from the movie!!! I dont know how you guys feel about that, but i feel a little f**ked right now from fox and colin aswell >:(
they love to see us scavenge for anything on this movie.
Yeah that pisses me off. Why cant us hardcore fans get to see anything. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD....GIVE US SOMETHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(
Why don't we get it? Simple. We aren't important enough. We aren't the ones playing the films for all to see, which, obviously, comes above us actually going to see it. After all, if they don't play the film, we can't see the film. Still, what a f**kin' gip. Not even a teaser.
yeah... avp sucked big time... but... if its to much information... I dont care!! while there is still a huge more information in the movie.
Hey, the saying "we learn from our mistakes" still applies!
Thats right leprechaun62689, and the saying "WE WANT SOME STUFF FROM THE MOVIE!!!" still applies too.
Johnny, truer words were never said.
I dont come here just to pass the time! AvP 2 TOOK MY SOUL AND THIS IS THE FIRST SITE I GO TO. Can we get a picture of SOMETHING? A picture of a SHOE from the movie would be nice! A picture of the transportation vehicles for the actors! Colin's watch on the set for f*cks sake!
If anyone knows anyone at all who attended that event, please tell us something they saw
If anyone saw anything, they would have mentioned it by now.
:( Maybe we can hunt down a list of people who were there and ask them? ??? Haha I'm so desperate for some footage...
Well, I just hope the full feature film of AVP 2 rocks and in the end the brothers end up being the next Wachowski brothers if you know what I mean ;D
Don't get me wrong Alien vs. Predator is awsome, but I feel like such a F**cking monster nerd when I'm on this site :-\ P.S. Tool is the f**king greatest thing to happen to a guitar, keyboard, bass guitar, drum set, and microphone. Off topic, but true.
I hope its at least 105 minutes too.
Well, I say I come here to pass the time at work.. but I wouldn't come to THIS site if I wasn't a huge fan of the IPs. I am at home now.. and I checked for news :P
AVP2 can be a 2 hour film easy. I hope it's two hours! A movie like AVP was way too short, you can clearly tell how they rushed the dam movie and quickly killed off all the characters just so it could not be two hours lol. You can also clearly tell how they tried so hard not to make it too violent ::) It was such a dead give away, the moment red blood appeard it's almost like Paul Anderson quickly panned the camera away in fear red stuff would show up in his shots lol.
Maybe they saw the predalien.
I really get uncomfortable when I see, every so often, people posting on here about how they "deserve" to see something first. As much as I appreciate the site, it is only one site of many and is in no way affiliated to the production - we're extremely lucky to get the interview access we do. They don't owe us anything, not even that. Even if there were some official production stills which showed something average, even though some of you are saying you would be happy for that, in reality you would bemoan Fox and the directors for not giving you something far more amazing. You know you would. Please realise that we're in no way 'significant', any more than IMDB is. We're just fans on one more forum of many more.
From when we see the teaser trailer to when the film is released if your listen Strause bros ... don't show to much of those ' shock' moments because it is those MOMENTS that hopfully will get as SHOCKED!! I want to have that sense of uneasiness (in the good sense) about this movie that I believe may turn around 'those doubters' opinion upon a good quality AVP movie. The end of 2007, THIS FILM WILL DOMINATE, FULLSTOP!! ;D ;D ;D
@Xenomorphine: Its supposedly only 6 months from the films release.. I'd imagine they'd have shown a little more by now honestly.
Xenomorphine, its comments like those that let them CONTINUE to hold out on us.
I don't have any problems with people puzzling over why there isn't more publicity. I just lament what's become a sort of 'elitist' attitude among some fans, of how they're somehow owed something. I think we're in for what could be the ultimate teasing campaign, personally. :) I remember one of the directors once speaking on one forum about how certain magazine interviews had been done, but I've seen nothing of those, which means the results are probably still under some sort of embargo. There's stuff waiting. They just want to blitzkrieg us with it, when the time's ready. I still think a large part of it has to do with their confirmation of them tinting the colour on every single frame, much like the original 'Underworld'. That must have been taking a huge amount of time. Hicks, Darkness and co, I salute you guys for even bringing us the interviews you've all managed to secure. I know a lot of us are slavering for even the tiniest bit of new information, but at least you are going to this trouble for the rest of us and I, for one, appreciate it. :) It's stuff like this which makes us feel like a real community. Even if it's one which enjoys eating its own young, from time to time!
^ Xenomorphine, you're absolutley right, I also appreciate what you guys are doing... but man, this is a site dedicated to a monster movie, it's not a salute to "Under the tuskan sun", don't be so dramatic. :-\
predx ur right bout the avp movie...but the whole him helping a human out..a chick on top of that..ruined the dang movie..paul anderson sux
A monster movie? Alien and Aliens are considered some of the greatest films of all time, on imdb they are ranked somewhere in the 50's/60's. Alien 3-a cinematic masterpiece. Underrated by many. Lots of people love this film, its ART. Alien Resurrection-An amazing space adventure that was way different from the rest. Dont tell me just an average "monster movie" cost 70 million to make. Predator-One of the greatest action films of all time. It has ARNOLD in it for crying out loud! STAN WINSTON IS AMAZING and so is John McTiernan Predator 2-Danny Glover, Gary Busey, more predator, impressive special FX, a dceecent follow up. AvP-Crappy film, but made about 200 million at the Box office, average sci fi action fare. Dont call any movie in this series a 'monster movie'
The problem nowadays its hard to get really scared any more, especially movies such as these that rely more on the element of surprise ruther than creatur shock value. Saying that they are many people nowadays that DO still get scared off even to this day of the infomous chest buster scene, pure gold ;D I would love in a sense to see if this movie has tiny elements of a type of Hostel/Saw esq torture type of scare. Imagine: a predator, slowly approaching its prey ( a traped,human hanging upside down) and before you know it we get to see a very first SKINNING of a human being first hands, think about it, its something that horricific to see, claws peeling away at the skin. That in itself would DEFINATELY garrantee its stasis. who knows?? ;D ;D ;D
I used to want to see something like that, now im not so sure. im kinda 50 50 now. ive never been disturbed by anything in any of the 7 films, i can watch them comfortably. I would like to say the same with avp 2. well, Kanes bursting scene still kinda gets me, otherwise thats it. ;D
Come on Pvt. Hicks ;D you know you'd love to see a scene like that. Definately something WE ALL didn't expect to see! I just reckon its elements such as these that will give us that lasting impression. I mean how dark, grim and griity could you get?I have some other bits that I think MAY feature in this movie. 1. A close up of a Predator's hand piercing through a human (cluthing onto the spine as he burst through). 2. A human getting face shot by an alien (most presumably). 3. Severed limbs (most definately) from both aliens and predator/s. 4. A Predator throws his spinning disc and decapites heads (both human and aliens). 5. Blood, Blood,Blood,blood AND MORE BLOOD!!!!!! Its all about catching the audience off hand. Ooooooooooo man!!!!! JUST SHOW ONE TINY TEASER,THATS ALL.
While the gore adds to the overall "feel" of the creatures and what they are capable of.. whats most important to me in the previous movies is the overall (sci-fi) atmosphere. Changing it to a movie like "Saw" would be such a major disappointment to me :-\
Hicks, sorry for the confusion, I'm insulted that you got the idea I was dissing the alien and predator legacy, I love alien and predator, I was just saying that they are... in a sence... big man like movies. :-[ my apoligies...
As for dual blades comment, I think a little more gore would add a new atmosphere to the movie, but overall I agree with Hicks, If too much goes in, the movie will lose that classic feel that the older ones had, we don't want to screw with it too much, but hey, we all have our own thoughts on the topic. ;) ;)
I have been an AVP fan as long as i can remember. After waiting years for the first 1 i was somewhat satisfied and dissapointed. I get to see them go head to head with one another which is cool, but in the end i get a love story between Alex and the predator. Not to mention the storyline, Alex actually fits in with one of the characters in the comics. Only differents is that she doesn't go into space and joins the clan. My hope is that they don't go TOO focused on the humans. The show is called Aliens VS predator, so let US SEE THEM GO ALIEN VERSUS PREDATORING AT EACH OTHER MORE!!! and please give us colonial marines please!!! That would be sweet. What ever the case is, i will give the Struase brothers the benefit of the doubt. They can't possibly be worse then the guy who did Superman Returns.
It's ok Orion, I overreacted, tend to do that a lot.
more like 158 min.
more like 158 min.
more like 158 min.
Why does everyone seem to hate the first AVP movie is it because Paul Anderson directed it, I thought it was a fantastic film.
I love the film and am sure like everyone else were just let down a bit by how it was handled. I actually thought that if he just soley wrote the movie and it was directed by someone else it could have turned out far different. DANNY (the brilliant) BOYLE should be called in to direct Alien 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
James Cameron STILL wants to do an Alien 5 with the Space Jockey from what I heard, Dual Blade.
ARE YOU SERIOUS Pvt.Hicks ???????????? ;D ;D ;D ;D Please don't play with my feelings, but seiously, what do you think the likelyhood of us getting THAT Alien 5 MOVIE??
For the love of all thats Hostess! I just want David Paetkau stuff is all I'm asking!
I agree, I have only been on the site for like a week, but I come here every day. I am going to California from 28th the August 12 but I won't be in San Diego in time! All we can do is wait and complain. :-\
