Title: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: Darkness on Jul 28, 2007, 08:10:27 PM

Some new profile pages of the AvP2 props have been added to Sideshow Toys; Shoulder Cannon, Mask and Shuriken. There’s new high-res pictures as well as other interesting details. Here’s the main bits:

Cannon: “The Predators’ plasma cannon, sometimes called the Plasma Caster, automatically locks on any target. It emits a pulse of energy that can easily burn through any target of metal, wood, or flesh. The Plasma Caster’s technology is advanced far beyond the weapons of any human or alien target. In Aliens VS Predator, the plasma cannon is adapted as a hand-held weapon, ready for quick and dirty work.

Mask: “During a hunt, the Predators wear a technologically advanced mask that offers protection and adds to their sensory abilities. The mask is equipped with multiple vision modes, including night vision and thermal vision. Fellow warriors appear white while targets appear red or green. Predators can use the mask as a targeting device, zooming in on their prey for precise kills at long range. Protecting the Predators, the mask acts as a pollution filter and shields their flesh from the acidic blood of the Xenomorph aliens, and the weapons of interfering humans.”

Wasn’t there something in the AICN review that said one of the humans picks up the shoulder cannon and uses it to kill aliens?  :-\  And the bit about the mask mentions that targets appear in red or green. Assuming, green is aliens still and red is humans? Hoping, that means the blue thermal vision and not the red one seen in AvP. Thanks to Prey-seeker for the news.

Update: Colin has posted several times in the comments. There is no night vision and the thermal vision mode does match the original films. The cannon does go hand-held but it’s a last resort thing.

uhhhhhh. I dont get it. Plasma cannon is adapted as hand held weapon? Why? Back to roots means back to roots why are they changing alot of stuff.

Cos there lying a*sholes!  Thats going to be so rediculous i mean why even have it as a shoulder mounted weapon if your'e going to take it off? The whole point is so your hands are free to fight with and do other things! Watching this will make me cringe    >:(

And whats up with the mask mentions that targets appear in red or green. Why not BLUE as the original Predator VISION???????
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: Sergeant.Poncho on Jul 29, 2007, 08:42:35 AM
All we want are back to its roots. We dont need any new Visions and stuff like that. We want the Predator to be as it was in P1 and P2. Is that so hard to understand?

Post by: Darkness on Jul 29, 2007, 08:45:44 AM
Colin did say it would be blue. And if you look at the thermal vision, the person highlighted is red/yellow/green so I'm hoping that's what they meant.

Post by: CELTICPRED on Jul 29, 2007, 08:56:21 AM
Don't worry about the plasma caster.  It probably gets knocked off the predator in battle, and someone finds it and uses it.   I doubt we see the predator hand him the cannon and say here, use it, seeing as Colin said there wouldn't be any human-pred team ups.

In Aliens VS Predator, the plasma cannon is adapted as a hand-held weapon, ready for quick and dirty work.  shit...Preds get more and more human-like weapons(((   Sergeant.Poncho  "We dont need any new Visions and stuff like that. We want the Predator to be as it was in P1 and P2. Is that so hard to understand?"  they want more money and therefore they work for public and not for fans of "traditional" aliens and preds...

Post by: Darkness on Jul 29, 2007, 08:58:31 AM
That's still pretty bad if a human is using a shoulder cannon. Imagine how it's going to look on screen.  I'm starting to worry just how similar the AICN review is to the movie they shot.

Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: Colin_Strause on Jul 29, 2007, 09:35:21 AM
I don't know who made up the discription of the vison modes. There is no "night vision."  Our vision modes matche the original film, and there are a few new modes related to the story ala Predator 2.  Second, where is the 99% of the cast is teen's thing coming from? Most of the cast is adults in thier 30's and 40's.  As for the cannon, it works perfectly in the story. There is a reason for everything.
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: Colin_Strause on Jul 29, 2007, 09:38:34 AM
Lastly, there is no red button on the trigger in our movie. That must be something they added for making a sound effect I guess.
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions

I don't know you people how much ar like this movie ,but i'm telling you it will be a normal movie it's not a so cool movie and THIS PREDATOR yeah right he locks like a SUPERHEROO what is this one predator, this mask make him a superhero  one predator must be a HUNTER KILLER not like this soory but this is not right they dont make a cool movie or something like that,I got feeling this movie wont  be much cool YOU all see the FIRST MOVIE and it was not good but in the first movie the predators WAS LIKE a HUNTERS AND PREDATORS,heir...I don't have a words    :-\

Post by: Keyes on Jul 29, 2007, 09:57:25 AM
I find it quite amusing/fustrating (yeah, figure that out out) when many members here immediately jump to conclusions of the movie being "bad", when they only hear a few words about it they don't fully understand. We haven't seen a SHRED of footage yet, so can we keep "excitable" opinions down a tad perhaps?

where are you getting your info from?  On IMDB the only ages that are listed are:  Johnny Lewis 24 Reiko Alyesworth 34 David Paetkau 28 Chelah Horsdal 34 Juan Reidinger 26 and that 10 year old Ariel Gade +Kendra and her younger brother and that other kid Liam or whatever.  none of their ages really matches those above.

Ty Olsson - 33 Steven Pasquale - 25 John Ortiz - 36  Not sure where I got the 38, I must have made it up. But now that I take a double look, there are quite a few people in the early 20's.

The description stated that the shoulder cannon automatically locks onto targets... so what's the point in even taking it off in the first place?   The more I see, the more I'm convinced the movie will fail. Sorry Colin, but I'm just being realistic. Your movie will suck.

If the Aliens attacking on the Predator from so many ways, the pred (if he taking the cannon off) can enable to shot more faster if he use it in his hand.
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: Colin_Strause on Jul 29, 2007, 11:13:45 AM
Don't read those discriptions. They weren't written by anyone who has even seen the movie. The shoulder cannon aims from the laser sights on the helmet as it has in every other movie.

Holding it in the hand is not going to change the firing rate, any more than mounting an M60 on the back of a vehicle would. It's still going to fire at the same speed as ever. On the shoulder, it can aim in more directions than in hands, such as directly behind.  If creatures are coming from several directions, then it should want hands free for other weapons.

"Fellow warriors appear white " So, does that mean were still going to see other predators? Also, the handheld weapon is just fine IF handeled right in the movie, alot of things work fine when theyr on-screen and just sound stupid, im going to wait, and those new photos are looking great.
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: jimmylace on Jul 29, 2007, 02:08:53 PM
look, heres what I make of it. On paper, the idea of a human blasting aliens away with a predator gun sounds like a really  cheesy and downright f-u to the previous movies. But, I guess it really depends on how its handled in the movie.  The character wont necessarily be shouting 'get this mother- f**kers!' etc etc...it could be handled with real intensity and unsureness. I dont like the idea on paper, but that doesnt give any of us the right to bash it until we see it on screen in this case.
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: jimmylace on Jul 29, 2007, 02:12:29 PM
and id expect a slightly more mature approach from some of  you...even the mods?!....for shame. for shame.   ???   And to jump to the conclusion that theyve gone ahead and  shot the early draft on the basis of this is wrong. How do  any of us know the scene will play out like in the aicn review now? 20 aliens could have turned into just the one  for all we know.
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: jimmylace on Jul 29, 2007, 02:20:45 PM
off topic a little, at the sight of hoardes of impeding aliens how cool would it be if one of the main  characters blew their own heads off with the predator gun? now thats edgy. I wish I was a movie person and not a design person :( lol

Post by: ArielAleXCo on Jul 29, 2007, 05:16:46 PM
ok.... handheled cannon... well in predator2, he used a "gun" maybe its some sort of  "...damn! turn arround and shot" a la jackie Chan (rush hour 2)... I mean... real life is not like halo that you only have forward to shot, in real life you can shot backwards without looking. ^_^  Oh well... about the helmet NOW I LIKE IT A LITTLE MORE... except the "perfil", it look to long and pointy. XDD but... as I said before... I didnt like the batman begins suit... until it was on the movie. (well, except in the part he runs toward the screen)... but the mask is really corbonite black like???

Post by: Soul on Jul 29, 2007, 07:21:52 PM
Some people are bagging on others for voicing concerns before having seen the finished product.  They need to remember that people were saying the exact same thing three years ago before AvP came out ... "don't worry, stop complaining you haven't seen it yet".....and all the bad lookin stuff we saw beforehand.....and look what a genuine turd that one turned into.  People had a right to have concerns then, and they could now...we'll see.

Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: Harry72 on Jul 29, 2007, 08:36:22 PM
Hand held - why not ? Experienced hunters often have a personalized weaponarsenal. Like Christie's pistols in Alien Resurrection. Faster on-hand and the pred can aim through pointing at the enemies with his arm.

Harry72, the fact that you are trying to defend something by comparing it to Alien Resurrection, undoubtedly the single worst abomination in sci-fi horror movie history, is like saying something must be ok because hitler did it.  It's a bad argument

Maybe the sewer area, or any other,  is so tight that the Pred has to take off the caster and use it as a pistol.  If he would be crouched down, it would make sense, but I pray no human uses it.  I'll save judement till it comes out.

Hand held?...... Thats something new. The gadgets don't make the predator. Its how he will fight that will interest me. Going toe to toe with aliens with Wristblades and Spears. Thats what i want to see. MELEE!!!!

Good idea Rusty. I updated the article.  So hang on, does a human actually pick up this cannon to kill aliens or does the Predator use it like this?

Post by: Corporal Hicks on Jul 30, 2007, 05:06:59 AM
Harry, the weapon in the comics is an actual handheld weapon. Not shoulder weapon turned handheld. I mean, I'll like the handheld stuff if it's Wolf using it but...   :-\

Here's a crazy idea, why not wait to see the movie. If I keep answer ing questions at this rate there will be no reason to see the film 6 months from now.

SSDD I know but we're in the dark here. We're practically begging for info here. It's more of a "quell our fears that one of the bad things we've heard isn't really going to happen" thing.

Hell yeah, I like these comments. Some of you don't deserve to be registered in this forum, that's my opinion. Some are crying like babies. Colin is right, wait for the trailer and for the movie. After that, you can still cry.  If you had thought a little bit about the first pic, you would have known, that the plasma-caster will be used normally. (sry for my bad english)

Crying over no trailer to Colin isn't going to do anyone any good, it (unfortunately) isn't up to them to decide what they can or cannot talk about, or show as well for that matter. Just be a little patient. Good things will come in due time. :)

Post by: Harry72 on Jul 30, 2007, 05:47:10 AM
@Cpl. Hicks: Yes, you are right. What i mean is that the hunter will modifiy/personalize the plasmacaster to a hand-held weapon. Maybe the pred will use it this way if the lasersight is damaged or so and a mass of aliens are attacking.    :P

Calm down everyone! If they release too much info it wll spoil the movie. The Bros. are fans and they seem to care what other fans think.   I'm not trying to kiss ass but c'mon, Colin has come hear and he knows our concerns and how we roast Anderson. He has said that the cannon could be handheld if needed. Wait for the trailer... if it's bad, whine all you want. He has no control over when the trailer is releaed, so all we can do is wait. Besides, don't you want to see the movie in the theater or do you want all in 2 min. clips for the next 6 months.   I can wait... actually, I will probably stop comming to these sites the last month before it's release so I can enjoy the film, spoiler free.

I would like to know if the predator's face under the mask looks better than AVP1, that one looked more cheap and fake than 1987's predator 1. I hated how the jaws extended too open, despite the face preds don't exist, it looked unatural.
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: Mr J on Jul 30, 2007, 06:25:11 PM
I'm soooo glad the pred vision is blue again, the orange/purple/yellow version totally ruined it for me. What about the classic heart sound while the predator is looking around, and not and to be a nerd when cloaked the pred should have the outline within an outline within an outline.....and so on. And if the directors actually post here if there is a alien/pred hybrid PLEASE tell me it DOES NOT have dreads? Aliens from humans don't have hair. I think it should just look like a brown ALIEN 3 coloured alien with the jaws and perhaps some fancy somewhat different ribs. Should have got HR Giger to design it if he was willing.

The best thing to do is to play xbox live and gears of war and have fun (if you have one) or just do something rather than just go to this site constantly for latest information. Cuz you guys are just being so anxious and stupid and fighting. Trust me your better off just doing something else rather than just come here and ask questions. JUST WAIT!

I must say it IS pretty weird that there isnt anything out there to promote this movie. I mean by now I would expect, at least, a teaser poster. What's with all the secrecy? Will it all be worth it?
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: cherubo on Jul 30, 2007, 09:39:57 PM
From the comments, it seems like the Predator himself will be using it as a handheld since it is mentioned that it is the result of a modification.  Humans, logically, would not have the knowledge to modify the plasma caster.  It can also be inferred that the modification is due to necessity, maybe the shoulder mount was damaged or the laser sight was damaged.
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: slipknotpredator on Jul 31, 2007, 01:37:03 AM
I think that the Predator using the plasma caster as a hand held weapon would be badass, imagine a injured and damaged pred making his last attemp to finish the alien threat fireing the plasma caster, i think it could work. I hope we don´t see a human using it...   :-\

Well, the trailer was said to be online this week. So lets see what how that will turn out. My friends just keep saying that this movie is already a lost cause. Hopefully the trailer will get the excitement going. I'll be pissed if the trailer is just some short shoots of predator gear.

I wonder if some of you read anything posted here. Some of you have stated that it's "odd" that no teaser, or posters for this movie have come out yet. There has also been mention of other movies being released in December that have a teaser and/or poster and not Aliens Vs. Predator. National Treasure 2 is being released in December and has a Teaser, but the one thing some of you forget is this: National Treasure took in $173,005,002 domestically and $347,405,002 world wide, with a budget of $100,000,000. Therefore, since the movie did well, they can afford to put a teaser trailer out 9 months before the movie is to be released.  Avp took in $80,282,231 domestically and $171,251,996 worldwide, with a budget of $60,000,000.
Title: Re: AvP2 Props Descriptions
Post by: Invisible Darkness on Jul 31, 2007, 04:48:50 AM
Since AVP did not do well at the box office and they have a small budget for the sequel, there wasn't a need for a trailer 9 months before the movie is released. The brothers have stated one of the reasons for not showing a trailer as of yet. They have been waiting for all the big summer movie to come out before they release the trailer. Since the big movies have been released, with the exception of Bourne, they will be releasing the teaser next week sometime.

This film is getting worse and worse. I dont think the director's or the people making this movie actually know what the original film's are about or what fans really want! But i suppose it's early days and were just speculating, let's give it a chance and if it does suck! then we'll rip the film apart bit by bit!  I really hope this film is good! and undo what the original AVP destroyed.

For some reason, Im starting to lose interest in knowing more about this 'wolf' predator, and Im starting to want to know more about the aliens. I dont know if its because almost all of the news we got have to do with just the predator and that we hardly got any news about the aliens, but I guess Im just crazy.

The trailer will come soon enough.  A friend of mine were at work discussing the lack of information and content that we have been shown for this movie.  It sucks that huge budget movies, even ones that are a year off like The Dark Knight get all of this press and a trailer out.  Anyways, that may just be the anticipation for this movie talking.  I just want to see a predalien.     ;D

I take back what I said. Of course I can wait.

that would be impossible.  the original script has a load of preds getting killed in the beginning and now we know that there are vision modes that track other preds. so now we've got a pred body count. hopefully the predalien will kick wolf's ass at the end
