So why EXACTLY was it gunnison?

[badass_badger]

 I mean, I live near Gunnison, and it's not THAT much a hillbilly town. It's quite nice. But out of all the small towns in the US... why was it Gunnison? Did the directors just blind fold themselves and throw darts at a map of the US and whatever town it landed on was the winner?

hmmm, not sure....maybe there will be some connection or some importance to why it's there. I dont know though, Im sure they had some reason for choosing it.

Well if it was founded in 1879 as the population trailer suggests - it could be a nod to Alien which was from 1979.

Maybe...just...maybe.

I never thought of that it makes sense.

maybe they like the town...had a "nice" experacne or something

Yea maybe the military knew about Aliens and Predators before and now they don't want anyone to inter with their evil plans

I disagree...there's only a two digit similarity and 100 years between the two...I would say that the reason it's Gunnison is because of geography, at least more so than any other reason...it's not a back-water town, it has a nice size to it...also, I think it is supposedly surrounded by mountains and the like, and it's a reasonable distance away from anymore heavily populated areas...thus providing a clever, yet ultimately questionable explanation as to why the aliens can't spread farther than Gunnison...

[That Yellow Alien]

^Yes

And there people, is your reason as to why to film is set in Gunnison.

It's a logical and very good reason they wanted a town that fit the profile of what they needed and where they could shoot

Yea I guess that's the real reason pretty much for why its set in Gunnison.

[echobbase79]

Because that's where the ship crashes.

[arnold23]

Because that's where the ship falls.

HAHA, yeah that makes the most sense really.

[echobbase79]

I would like to know why Salerno set it there myself? I wonder if he's from there?

[That Yellow Alien]

He originally set it in a small Texas town. Thank god they changed it, or else we would have gotten hillbillies versus Aliens versus Predator.
