Looks like AvP2 has got itself yet another new title:
Aliens vs Predator Requiem. The name was featured in Entertainment Weekly’s latest magazine. (There’s no major article or anything, just a name-drop). Also on their website, they have the film listed as Aliens vs Predator Requiem in their Release Calendar section.
Further more, Fox have registered the domain name aliensvspredatorrequiem.com. This was registered on August 3rd and redirects to the Fox Movies website. Well, I guess it’s better than just Aliens vs Predator or AvP: Survival of the Fittest. Thanks to pred_alien, Danger Close and Darkoo for the news.
Update: The short-hand version will be AvP-R. Fox told us this last week, but didn’t say what the R stood for. Guess we know now. Fox have also registered AvP-R.com which redirects to the Fox Movies site.
Update 2: Yet another domain Fox have registered: AvP-Requiem.com. They’ve also registered avprequiemdvd.com and AVPRMovie.com. Fox registered 16 domains in total. Check them out here.
Update 3: Okay, I just got confirmation back from Fox. Looks like the new title will indeed be Requiem – or AvP:R. (Hicks).

I just hope no one makes a big deal out of this.
I dont know what to make of it (runs of to find out what Requiem means).
Thats a long ass name for a film.
off* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Requiem Sounds cool to me, they have got to give it an extra title so regular movie go'ers wont get confused with the first one :-\
i think it might have something to do with the big plot twist
Why didn't they just name it "Requiem for a Predator"? What a stupid title.
Aliens vs. predator : Requiem for a Dream... Aliens and a predator get "high" and there for try to change their world and how should they interact failing to score. XDD also... queen Alien thinks she is fat so... goes into drugs too. XDD jajaja
Requiem? Meh.
Aliens vs. Predator: mass for the dead
They will change it again, there seems to be a lot of tinkering with this movie.
So we call Alien Vs Predator: AVP and Aliens Vs Predator Requiem: AVPR? at least it clears up the confusion between the 1st and 2nd, I think?
I don't care what it is called. It doesn't change anything. I'm still eager to see the movie. Gold is gold.. even in mud. :)
very poetic title...actually, liked it a lot... ;) Of course, if the movie happens to fail, there will be all kinds of jokes about the title... ;D :D
check it out, look at the name of this AVP2 multiplayer map download, scroll to last file at the bottom of the page : http://browse.files.filefront.com/Aliens+vs+Predator+2+Maps+Levels+Missions+De athmatch+Q+to+R+Titles/;1368577;/browsefiles.html

cheers
Maybe they should have named ALIEN 3, ALIEN REQUIEM instead, since alien 3 as the hole religious feel and tone to it with Dillon's god squad, plus requiem means chant or to mourn for souls.
I hope this means the trailer is actuall getting closer now.
Maybe December 25 and January the 18 are the release dates for the trailers ;D
LOL probably. JUMPER looks like it could have promise.
slowley and steadly we will get what we want :o
To tell you the truth, this film as a lot of new things we haven't seen before and many surprises unlike the 1st AVP, but I can't wait for the final film. :)
I can't believe it. It's officialy auto-parody now. :( "Requiem", oh my God, they really think that's clever?
At least it makes the movie seem more adult-themed. A non-fan who reads "Requiem" at the end of the title, can pretty much bet what their going to get... :)
Lets be honest the title Aliens vs Predator is a bit on the cheesy side. but what else can u call it? Alien 6 and predator 4? lol
requiem reminded me of Equilibrium. nice movie. but yeah makes it sound like it is toughening up to be better then the first. i just hope to god they dont call the 3rd one Extinction.(RE3)
i like it like YutaniDitch said... it is kinda poetic since there might be this whole religious tone going on... does that mean we might see some psycho voodoo guys like in P2? meh oh btw what's fox's next BIG movie coming up? maybe they'll release the trailer around the same time...
i like it where is the damn trailer!
the trailer is all in our heads, FOX has decieved us into thinking this movie even exists when in fact it doesn't :P
I think Aliens vs Predator: Requiem is actually pretty cool. It's different. It makes it seem like the film is really serious and adult. But are they really still keeping the 's' on Aliens? A L I E N S vs. P R E D A T O R : R E Q U I E M :)
im not 2 impressed with it. seems kind like...meh, lol. it doesnt roll of the tounge...alien vs predator requiem. requiem = a musical mass for the dead. hhmm like the idea of it.... i suppose its okay. 2 b honest im not 2 fussed wat its called as long as they do a good job of the movie. but this wont b a big blockbuster movie cus i think its only mainly us alien and predator fans r the ones who even know about it. ;)
well let's just hope fox is saying to that "noooo just WAIT until we unleash all our PR"
Not bad name ive heard worse but what i realy want is a trailer and some more images to realy get me exited about this movie! maybe there is no movie and fox is just playing a big joke on us all lol if thats true im gonna be so pissed! but waiting for the trailer to i start making my mind up so please hurry........!
It might be a blockbuster hit? SHREK said only the fans know anything about AVP2 haha, but really, what do we know? we don't really know anything except a few little things and a name and eeeemmmm...well, that's about it :P
Hey dnt know if this is old news but i was looking at this web site and they had a page from the new avp book and u can see a close up of the new alien and a very small pic of the new pred there not huge but just thought u guys might want to check it owt http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=5545
avp 2 is a musical! :D :P
Lame :D
I don't have an opinion on the title, other than I think it is better than "survival of the fittest" Please....oh dear god please dont have a musical scene........
Aliens vs predator was more like an alien movie but that said Aliens vs predator:Requiem sounds more like a comic wich is what this movie is a comic book film! ;)
A L I E N S vs P R E D A T O R - R E Q U I E M -
Aaaalrighty then :-\
Yeah that's what i thought too. It does sound very comic book-ish.
see this predator http://www.jeuxvideopc.com/downloads/1234-aliens-vs-predator-2/image-5910-1.php
Don't know what you guys think (well technically I do cause I read everyone's posts) but I think the title is cool. I agree, they might change it again, but if tey do that won't change the actual movie. Also this might mean that the trailer is closer. If the trailer release dates are Dec. 25 and Jan. 18 then I am going to blow my F**KING BRAINS OUT!
sound bollocks to me to religous
Like others have said, I'm glad that they put something there to make AvP2 sound different than the first. I thought it was a bad idea to just have the Aliens part because I told my friends about the movie and they said " I thought that movie already came out"
yeah... too many people out there are bad spellers/readers and that transfers over and affects their competence to understand stuff we have no problem in acknowledging. :D
Such news bores me... When are we getting to the real deal, or are we going to be fed just stupid spoonfuls of useless title calls?
I have only 1 question what the f**k does requiem mean ?
im tired of this kind of news
It's a good title - it's not cheesy like Resident Evil: Extinction. :P Sounds classy. This film is hopefully going to have a lot of class. ;)
I hate it.
Hmm sounds good :) But won't it piss u guys off if the posters say in big bold letters AVP-R. AVP looks good on posters but AVP-R!! >:(
isnt this whole AVP-R also a way of informing the moviegoers that its rated R aswel as having a unique name
To me personally , they should've stay with Aliens vs Predator , but for the most part of the audience , that title is a bit confusing
Why do filmmaker's automatically think that audiences are dumber than sh*t? We weren't confused when James Cameron named his sequel "AlienS" and it's pretty obvious that the majority of the population knows what "Aliens vs Predator" is. It's like saying, "We shouldn't name it Aliens vs Predator" because each respective creature is both an alien and a predator so that'll just confuse our pea-brained audience. If anything, adding "Requiem" will confuse people more than just "Aliens vs Predator".
It should definatly stay as "ALIENS VS. PREDATOR", it`s short, direct, and classic. You just cannot! beat that title, period.
I agree
The common theme of requiems is prayer for the salvation of the soul(s) of the departed, and it is used both at services immediately preceding a burial, and on occasions of more general remembrance - Requiem remembering the dead basicly.... looks like there trying for the alien 3 feel to the name A3 had a heavy Reglion tone to all the inmates lol yah "they found god at the ass end of space"
it might chnage who knows just keep it Aliens vs Predator screw this short styleing crap like "AvP" or AVP blah blah but then agian this AVP R stuff maybe there becouse they want to also sell games on the ps3/360/PC without worrying about copyright laws and confuseing pepole do to the already existing Avp games for the pc and ps2 and xbox
@predataur - because people just don't think about these things - unless they made the S really huge so people would notice it. Why won't people notice the 's'? Because they are too busy worrying about their stupid lives to think about the title of some b-movie. It's a logical choice. Live with it.
As for Alien and Aliens: Alien is a lot simpler title than Alien Vs Predator which is why they could add the 's' and people would notice it. Plus Aliens was marketed as a war movie while Alien was marketed as a horror movie.
WTF is R E Q U I E M
this is what i found The Requiem (from the Latin requi
I hate R E Q U I E M how is it pronounced REEKUM REEKEEAM REEK EM
RECK WEEM yuck i like AvP 2 better
there are loads of definitions for REQUIEM but the main 1 is a musical mass for the dead or celebrarting the dead.
REEK WUM ::)
It's rec-we-um
I'm sorry, the word requiem might sound poetic but not if it's preceded by bloody "Aliens vs. Predator"
The other reason they can't just leave it as Aliens vs Predator is because half of the audience probably thinks that the first one was called that. With the comics and games all varying between Alien vs Predator and Aliens vs Predator it becomes a bit more confusing. It's not necessarily that people won't notice the 's' - it's that people would see the poster and say 'is that a sequel? what was the first one called again?'
Colin speak. http://imdb.com/title/tt0758730/board/thread/83028996?d=83029346#83029346
What's that got to do with the name?
"The international trailer is being delivered tomorrow, and then the US one on tuesday. After prints are made and the final audio is mixed it will be ready for release." Colin Straus UPDATED Mon Aug 20 2007 00:39:17e I found it on IMDb. I hope I doesn't break any low to show it here...if I do I'm sorry. ;D
We already knew that, Elorrra... And the waiting resumes... ;)
Requim = Mass for the Dead. That's the common meaning. Quite dark/smart sounding attached to AvP. I could quite easily see that title being on the front of an AvP novel/comic.
Aliens vs Predator fit perfectly! I'm worried about all the t.v. actors in it. Oh well the bad acting started in AR and AVP!
So the trailer is going to be out 2 morrow? YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! ;D I didn't know that. Sweet, as for the name, who cares I think its good but that still has no effect on the action of the film
the trailer is coming out tomorrow?!!
no it isn't. i'm guessing sound mixing will take about 1 month and a half, and trailer will be relased at the end of september ::) what worries me the most... if assembling 3 min trailer is causing 2, 3 months delay, how much will be delayed 100 min movie planned for dec? 1,5, maybe 2 years?
It said tommorow! Colin said it. The international trailer is coming out Ruesday and the U.S. is being released with Resident Evil 3. Sound Mix with U.S. not international. Correct me if I am wrong cause I just got back from f**kING school, senior thank you very much and I am so tired and not thinking straight. :D
i think it's delivered to them to do sound mixing, not for us to watch, and when mixing is done then it will be released online. i bet it's about 1,5 months waiting more, to release the trailer they have to get official website and i bet nobody didn't even started making one ;) oh, and re:e has premiere at the end of september. not august ;)
SORRY the trailer isint out 2morro they've still gotta do the sound mixing and stuff it will b another 2 or 3 weeks yet...at least.. :-\
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHI'm going to go kill myself now, nice knowing this world, Goodbye. At least when I am in heaven (probally Hell) I'll know what will happen in the movie. Or I should know cause if forsight doesn't come with the angel/demon thing then I'm f**king ripping my wings/horns off and jumping fight down/up here to f**kING Earth. ANOTHER 2 to 3 weeks!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH >:(
haha i don't think God would let you come back here that easily
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S TAKING THIS LONG
yeah well. . .he better
1. I'm glad they added this so general audiences wouldn't get confused. 2. The title is most likely final, since Fox registered the domain name. 3."Requiem" is a mass or a song for someone who's died.
I just wanna see the trailer already
Pretty much I don't care, I just want the trailer, finished or unfinished. Going through all the trouble of sound mixing? Trailers up to the late 80s had trailers with sound and picture quailty as if straight from camera. As I said, I don't care if finished or not, all that matters is to deliver the idea of the story, characters and fights that are to be delivered. :-\
It's getting boring.
Even some rough footage without sound effects would do. This wait is killing. I will be back to university and then i will have no time for movies.
Do you guys think we will see the trailer in august?
Of course not.
Of course yes
I wish Colin would say for sure
It won't take weeks - it'll only take a few days. Colin said so: http://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/index.php?topic=4236.msg64822#msg64822 So we will see the trailer this week or next week probably.
I got my hopes up again :)
gameoverman, i don't want to dissapoint you, but they told that trailer will be at comic con for sure too ;), and then that it will be definetly week after cc. guess this time few days are just optimistic speculation again and turn out into 1,5 months don't make your hopes high guys. the trailer will be released at the end of september. ::)
Aliens vs. Predator: This Time it's Personal :D
that dvd site for avp 2 scares me. Seems like fox knows this movie will flop badly and hence they will release it soon on dvd like maybe in februray or march OR direct to dvd lolz
didint mettalica make a song with the lyrics "my Requiem somethin somethin yah i know not totaly here right now iam on nyquil for this damn cold plz forgive me lol
UGH! why register so many domain names for such a stupid title!
it isnt gonna go straight to DVD lets be real here its gonna be in theaters
Trailer description ? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? http://www.joblo.com/arrow/index.php?id=9031
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL ;D I have decided not to kill myself and stay here for AVP, with the trailer out this or next week !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well we get only that much after waiting so long which is lame. I think there will be a second trailer similar to Ergaon showing tons of action and sfx. Just pray it doesn't turn into another ergaon becasue that movie also had visual effect director.
to JK is that stuff true about the trailer?? it sounds pretty cool, thanks ;)
Holy Shit ... JK thx man! If this is true, then omg ^^ ... i like it very much ... specially the part with the predator facing two aliens and the alien behin de doctor. TRAILER TRIALER TRAILER ^^ ... cant wait anymore. Hope it will come this week. greetz
To SHREK there's no source to confirm this news yet. I just only it find it and be offered them to you.
That would be cool playing Silent night with the preds and aliens fighting
the guys at http://www.worldofkj.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=33993 hate it and are dissing the movie. Smeone join that site and support the movie.
I wanna see the alien jumping onto a helicopter
most movies have a fairly short run at the theaters now and end up on dvd within 6 months, thats just how things are now. if thats what the trailer is like , sounds sweet
When you think the trailer will be on-line
Lame. >:(
;D
i saw ppl referring to the predator as "wolf" is that what hes called?? where did they find that
Good work JK, the fans are doing what they can but this wait is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As long as the Alien doesnt cross breed with a sasquach and the Predator doent have a 12inch forehead and look retarded we should be good to go, sittin frustrated!
Im sure im reading too much into this, but it almost seems like theyre saying, "this is it, this is the last one, the AvP movies are now dead". Im gonna feel like an ass saying this when I buy my ticket. "uh... one for Aliens vs Predator Rectum, er, I meen, Reqweeeum". I must admit though when you hear it it makes you think "AvP Requiem? what the f**k?" lol maybe thats a good thing.
man why does everyone put this movie down.........i really feel it is gonna be awesome......im so amped for the trailer
I cant wait for the trailer either, that will tell us ALOT. I didnt mean to put it down (if you were referring to me), those were just my first impressions. I actually think its not a bad title. I like how it connects to the video game level. And like someone mentioned earlier in the thread, theyll probably refer to it as AVP:R. Thats actually pretty clever; it tells you the rating right in the title.
8) (thats all I have to say 'bout that) "Forest Gump accent"
Jonesy no i wasnt talkin about you sorry
There's no such thing as the bogeyman... :P
im the bogey maaahn thats what I am... and shala la... and da lalalla aaa WhiteZombie's song is cool... but still could never learn the lyrics. XDD jajaj
Just let the trailer come out this month and show some good fighting scenes
as anxious as i am to hear the score... i still think trailers that use no music and only SFX really get you drawn in you know? ... like quick shots of things happening, cutting in and out with no music and only sound to make us guess what that was or wasn't... awesome can't wait
One of the biggest complaints of the 1st film was the - apart from the acting, and baywatch running, was the pg13 rating. Having AVP-R is pretty smart business sense. The trailer sounds cool as well. C'mon people, get behind this film. If this film is a flop, Alien V will be years and years away and Predator 3's chances will be zip.
AVP3, Alien 5, Predator 3 completely depend on hire AVP2 which most likely will fail in the USA, but there is a chance of world gathering, I very much hope, that the output film under Christmas will not affect cash department, but all happens, I am personally glad, that film for Christmas leaves, Graidhaus too has left in wrong day and a failure. Where a trailer though if there was a description of a trailer it is possible to guess, that a trailer on the approach, I think, that this problem with a sound on long will not be tightened also to us will show a trailer on Friday.
I like the title albeit a little poetic and slightly obscure for a film such as this. Bring on the trailer
Ok, this trailer layout isn't confirmed, so I am just gonna make fun of it... First thing, the initial space scene definitely makes this a bogus trailer description...Because if THAT was supposed to attract me to the movies or someone else NON-FAN, then the joke would end up on them... Second, the kid scene is such a cheap scare one... So predictable... Third, this doesn't sound like the longlength trailer Colin talked about...quick edited shots (quelle surprise ::) ) and the Alien in a familiar environment...especially a usually white-corridor one..I guess the Aliens would blend in just fine in order to surprise the doctor... :o ::) maybe they would do an Aliens on them and cut the power... ;D So, if this ends up being the so-highly anticipated trailer the fans have been drooling about... OMG, this will truly be a REQUIEM alright, for the dead franchises... Again, I truly HOPE this is just someone making fun of the movie...we'll se in a couple weeks time...Again HOPEFULLY...Nothing's certain regarding this movie anymore ;)
i like the idea of them playing silent night with the aliens and predators it will make it eery and scary...which the avp wasnt at all........ btw it sd that the predator ship was on fire in space....well im assuming that the the whole ship was on fire (including the outside of the ship)...but fire doesnt burn in space.. ::) maybe ive got it wrongg we will have 2 wait and see. ;)
Ok5, you have no faith in people. The first AvP movie wasn't great, but it made huge sales, so either non-fans thought it was alright, or people thought it sucked and saw it anyway. I have faith this will make more money then the first one
Sherk your right, that's why I believe thjat this is a fake trailer. Fire doesn't burn in space the power of the vaccum would extinguish it. So that is most likely false. 8) Thats all I have to say 'bout that "Forest Gump accent"
To me AVP1 has very strongly liked only on 3 times of viewing, but on 3 times of viewing to me has liked, AVP1 has not failed in hire because anybody yet did not know, what from itself represents film, and now many will not go on AVP2, to the same under Christmas, but I am assured, what AVP2 it is much better AVP1 and I hope, what film will collect greater money, I very much hope for it, but малов it is probable, a horror film for Christmas? Who on it will go, the special trap that people have gone to Cinema here is necessary
As you think when there will be this прокля&# 1090;ый a trailer, well it is necessary to think simply what is the time this problem with a sound will borrow, well please tell as long to me still to wait, аааааа&# 1072;ааааа
72;аааааа ;...!!! In my opinion it will borrow some days, to the same Colin itself so has told. My opinion FRIDAY, and yours?
Hopefully Friday or before
I SAY ANOTHE 2 WEEKS :-\
What 2 more weeks? Colin has told, I would like in-Tuesday, but to make a sound on I shall understand will borrow not too a lot of time. It means, that it is no more week to wait after it it has told, and has already passed 4 days.
Fire burns, so long as there's something to keep fuelling it from the inside of the craft.
OK5.... wtf have u said i dont understand wat u have tried 2 say :D u read it and see if it makes sense ::)
Whether fire burns in space or not why the hell should straus bros care about that?? This is a movie not a sci fi documentary. I for one would like this to be a non stop cheesy action movie with lots of things that will make fans say " This is fake. He is supposed to be short. Fire should not be there" blah blah blah Chill guys. If avp 2 fails at boxoffice then u can kiss avp 3 set in space, alien 5, predator 3 etc. goodbye
"fire" burns in space if you're freaking flying through the atmosphere of a planet, out of control, on a crash course for the surface. :D
Not sure about the title but whats more important is the film its self. Theres so much potential for an awsome film. You got 2 of the best characters ever created in the same film. I hope this one delivers what avp left us waiting for !!! :D :D :D
They should of called it either ALIEN VS PREDATOR 2 or ALIENS VS. PREDATOR or just ALIEN VS PREDATOR: REQUIEM what was the point of putting an 's' at the end of alien if they gunna put a title at the end! im not happy! REQUIEM? what does that mean anyway?
love the pic ov d predalien! v.cool! like the bit about d trailer about the girl and the torch (flashlight) and the whole predalien jumping up on the window or woteva souns like a horror movie! and with silent night in the background give's it a whole creepy feel, We need a teaser trailer asap! and a website with the AVP R logo! colin and greg i hope u two have made a well made film that's true 2 the original's and scary! the pred-alien being female i like that only if there isn't a queen! in this movie, only because we dont need a queen in every alien movie and a twist like the predalien crashing on earth laying eggs which facehugg humans would work. ALIENS VERSUS PREDATOR REQUIEM Coming Soon
