Alien vs Predator TV Spots are making their way across US television this week with clips shown on the TechTV network and Fox. Here’s what Rafael had to say:
“Here in America at 10:40 or so at night on Monday evening I saw the very first tv spot for AVP. It was about 20 seconds/30 seconds long and unlike the one shown on IFILM the classical music played through out and showed scenes shown in the theatrical trailer. I was so excited I barely caught a glimpse of the new phrases shooting across the screen, although one reference to ‘hell’ was made.. and omg, just now at 11:06 at night they showed the tv spot from IFILM! This was all on the TECHTV network.”
It certainly appears that Fox is finally getting the promotional campaign for AvP going now. Thanks to Celtic and Rafael for the news.

cool
i think they saved all their money to advertise the lasdt 3 weeks to try to getthe largest 3 week they possibly can
I hope I see a TV Spot for AVP here in Norway ;D ...maybe next month :)
They should be hard core promoting from now on!
WOW cool, can't wait 4 it to play see the tv spot in CANADA!!!
lol so it begins.The begining of intoxicating the public with the knowledge of an AVP movie. I'll be watching. To complete these trailers is that final rating at the bottem of the screen. This is what we waited for. This is it boys the beggining of the broadcasting.
about damn time....im not sure if i think this was a good idea to wait so long or not, i guess we'll jus have to wait and see the ticket sales...
Cool 8) I want some AvP footage in TV
Well you canj look at it this way.... Fans already knew about AVP so i see fox marketing it small to them but i also see fox marketing it bigger to the groups who do not have access to the internet and may not be as big fans as we are. But anyway this is going to be big even if the story isn't as strong as i could be. H. R. GIGER <--- Father of the biomechanical Alien creature we have grown to love. Giger is a dark god in the eyes of his fallowing artists. Beautiful yet erotic... his dream lives again. >:D Minus Woodruff now BLACK poop monster ripoff of gigers design. Giger gets all the credit for the design in my book!
Hey guys! I was watching MTV and saw a tv spot for AVP! Yea it was GREAT. The first one I have seen yet. It was 11:36. Yes. Im sure that the smile on my face is still there. It was the one that we have a link to. So there was nothing new but it doesnt mater. I saw it. I havent been this exited about a movie since Tombstone. We should all be seeing them soon. YES!!!
i saw the avp movie spot on ESPN!!!!!
I was talking to my friend back home in Ohio and he just saw the tv spot around 3am. lol this is kind of funny. It's almost like we're treating these tv spots as crop circles. you know they're out there, you just don't know when you'll see one next lol.
cue the x-files theme
Hell yeah !!! The begining of the begining !!! Eh eh. About time they do it. I saw it too today at 11.30 am. Its great, nothing new but great to see it on tv. 24 DAYS!!!!!!!!
I was just thinking how good the acting of the "Grid Alien" is going to be, I mean we have Tom Woodruff here people! he was great in Alien 3, and even though Alien Resurrection sucked, the Acting of the Alien was very good, I am glad we have this kind of talent working on this film, From the book, the Grid Alien kills more predators and humans then any other thing in the movie.
I can't wait to see the very first Alien/Predator "square-off" in the movie!! I have the Conan The Destroyer music playing in my head to go along with it! Yeah Man! :D
ONLY 23 DAYS GUYS!!! By the way, Darkness did you get that Artwork I sent in?
Looks like more and more are being seen. This is it. I have seen one and it looks like four or five more of you have to. This is great, GREAT! Hey Hell Alien, what channel was your sitting on. I saw mine around the same time. They could have been the same one.
I was on a canadian channel, i saw the thing in french, the voices r not so bad at all. It will be good!!!!!!!! My bro saw it on mtv 2 mins ago, and he said that the thing was 1 min long!!!! so its not the same that i saw cuz mine was about 30-40 secs, max. so its gettin better!!!
I saw mine on MTV and it was close to 35 seconds long with all kinds of awsume clips and scenes. It had that rock music in the background though. It was still cool.
I saw the AvP trailer last night on Comedy Central, so it looks like the promotion's got a nice spread across a number of networks.
I think that they started promoting this film a little early. We still got almost a month to go. I mean, too much promotion caused some good damage to other flms that were expected to kick ass. I guess i'm just on the edge of my seat worrying too much about this film. But what fan wouldn't!!!!
G-Dog, DON'T SAY THAT MAN! the early they start with the promotion the better. MORE BACKSIDES ON SEATS, MORE CASH! This is FOX'S weapon torwards any competitor, they know both these franchise hold a tremondous amount of leverage so the want to deliever this movie with both barrels, no holds bared. FOX wants this, its their prize possesion. :)
yey i did somthing good.
oh ya if u see the tv spot on nickolodien or cartoon network...we have a problum. ???
1:09 just saw a trailer on mtv.
It's like catching Bigfoot on TV
MTV ....................... Good or bad??? ???
J, I think you're right bro, the more people know about it sooner, the better it will be. LOL about that cartoon network note, but thats right! damn that would be funny actually.
Bout time they got into some serious marketing. 8)
Well I just recently saw the tv spot the sixth time. I believe if it was shown on cartoon network probably during adult swim something like that, but I doubt it. About being on nickolodien probably not that is more of a kid base channel. Cartoon Network is A KIid channel to, but until 11:00 P.M. So I believe it won't be on those channels.
Just saw a tv spot on Tech TV
ya swim is ok to see it but nick, pg13
MAN! I CAN'T BELIEVE US PEOPLE IN THE UK GOT TO WAIT OCTOBER 22nd. >:D O well, ;D just have to keep watching the time go by, ... sssssssslloooooooooowwwlllyy!!
It looks like they are spred across a wide range of highly watched channels. This is good news.
I just saw a trailer about 30 seconds long on espn, make that 2 during the same sportscenter commercial break. still not rated though
they took the same idea as spider man 2 u see how many commercials there were like one week before the movie, they tried to get the biggest 6 days and they did now we only see one ad every 2 days hopefully fox is going the same route and saving its money for these last 3 weeks to advertise because anaconda 2 comes out one week after, and collateral comes out 1 week prior brilliant old shuriken aren't I
well hopefully , with these channels being older older teen channels hopefully they are looking for an r rated movie
HEY GUYS!!!!! My friend saw the tv spot yesterday while he was listening to south park!! He saw it on teletoon . A cartoon channel. And you know what, the episode he was listning had a predator in it ! He said that we dont see the pred but we see the 3 lil dots and we see thrue the pred vision mode. Eh eh, how cool is that. South park rule!! teletoon rule!! avp rule!! 8) :D ;)
Saw one on ESPN, they're definitely getting around now. About damn time, too! ;D
I saw a tv spot for AVP yesterday and I think it said that it was rated PG-13. >:D
punisher the TV spot doesnt have a rating yet....
Punisher, you sure you heard "PG-13" or "August 13"? Maybe you simply misheard it.
The movie isn't rated yet Punisher don't worry. In my theory it might be rated R so far its been on channels only teens or older people would watch anyway like Shuriken pointed out. I just wish they tell us right now and get it over with so I won't here someone asking about the rating over and over.
I SAW IT, IT JUST CAME ON. THEY WERE LIKE WHOEVER WINS WE LOSE. I JUST CREAMED MY PANTS BUT I STILL SAW IT. ???
the first ones where on the espys on sunday
the website would say the rating first, then the tv. I saw resident evil 2 was rated r on the website but when i saw the trailer of resident evil 2 b4 i robot, the rating was not stated. So, my advice would be juss to keep checking the movies website because it'll be on there before any tv does. Reason being because if the tv were to state it was R and it was really pg-13, it could be false advertising by Fox, unless of course the studio made adjustments and resubmitted the movie to the MPAA and they made it a different rating. If PA wants an R and the studio puts out Pg13, he could edit the film in a way he would think would give it an R rating and then resubmit the whole thing to the mpaa. According the mpaa website, a rating of a movie can be changed if the movie is amended. Let us hope for the best :-\
Saw it yesterday on G4Techtv
Saw it during Unscrewed and X-Play shows directed towards adults and teens.
Hey guys. I just saw I, Robot, and guess what movie trailer was shown. You guessed it: AvP. It was awesome. I looked at the crowd and they seemed to dig it! :)
just saw one on techtv
Not only is this good news for FOX getting this on the roll, but "E" News has officially stated that AVP is in fact, R Rated for Graphic Violence and language and Intense Scenes... Come on!! That is what everyone wanted now isn't it??? I popsted this news at another site, ROTTEN TOMATOES and even with the proof I posted, they still slam it and say it's fake and rhey'll believe it when it says it on the poster.. Can you believe the hate for this movie by people in the internet world??? Why all the hate??? Why??? I mean, if your a fan, then this is a dream come true film finally getting made and if your jot a fan, then why waste your breath bashing it and putting it down other than to compensate for what lacks in your pants and that's a big dick I guess, huh???
DAMNIT! i havent seen one yet and i missed NIP/TUCK tonight which would probably have had one...
The only time I can see anything new will be on the web ( all updates and things)
Saw it on MTV. It was the rock music one. Had "They're deadly" "They're Evil" They're Here". Still pretty cool seeing it one TV. The rating, will probably be rated R. The novel was pretty damn graphic. But if Fox goes with pg 13. I won't be turned off. A lot of pg 13 movies today are pretty violent.
I dont know whats its going to be. But i fear pg 13. Im looking at the page of diamond select toys. and heres what is says. quote: Diamond selecect toys offers a unique spin on hollywoods sci fi movie monsters with this all new plush toys! Based on 20th century Fox's Aliens versus predator. the8''-tall predator is made out of 100% soft materials. So even the youngest fans can enyoy this cute-and-cuddley interpretation of this classic sci-fi movie monster Well that makes me think it will be Pg 13. Cause Predators and Aliens are all but cute and cuddley. And youngest fans? Right killing slashing monsters, and the youngest fans? ??? ..... right. And thats not all they even have a alien and a facehugger! It doesnt matter If it will be that rate im ;D a fan of both the creatures so i will still going to see it. But it would be a pitty if they make it like that. But maybe if this movie will be pg 13 the next will be R we will see. Hope Spawn will create menacing plush versions of them 2. Like the plush facehugger and chestburster of spawn. ;D
But maybe the rating will be otherwise then pg 13 Cause on http://filmratings.com/ they say this and maybe that explains there isnt a rating yet. quote: Can a rating be changed? Yes, the rules permit movie producers to re-edit their films and re-submit them in hopes of receiving another rating. Producers may also appeal a rating decision to the Rating Appeals Board, which is composed of men and women from the industry organizations that sponsor the rating system. A two-thirds secret ballot vote of those present on the Appeals Board may overturn a rating board decision. end quote. So maybe PA is re-editing. After all he wanted a R rating also. ;D
the movie is not being re edited if anything it is being printed so it may be shipped on time.
For the rateing eather fox is with holding it to hype us up (it's working) or the rating system can't decide or the film was submitted late
Ow ok. hahahahahah LOL the hyping up is working good indeed =). Cant wait to hear more from the movie.
ya i know... it think the movie will still be worth the wait :)
I think so 2. When i saw some scenes my mouth fellt open. Like the queen hanging on those cables. Damn that looks very good. And all the others to. And thank goodness that the style looks like alien 1 and 2. And the aliens dont look like to cgi.
I'm personaly against the Woodruff's bug/beast (POOP MONSTER) look but i'm very glad at the attempted revisions to make it look more boimechanical like alien & aliens. I love the predator revisions in weaponry & armor! wow..
Ok I didnt mind the poop monster personally, only at the times it was to much cgi. Thats takes away the effects. And also the mystery of the aliens. Cause they are always in the shadows. What I did like in AR was the idea how the queen gave birth to the newborn. Yeah its great to have their bio look a little back. And also the queen looks different and better then the one in AR.The preds do look very cool.The elder pred looks very great and very differend from the preds of 1 and 2. Now only a predalien burster. Id like to see that ;D Or other creatures that are locked up in the predators ship.
I say fans march over to FOX studios and not let anyone in for work untill they give us a rating and asnswer our questions regarding our beloved Alien and Pred franshises........ yeah!
Hahaahha lol Yeah! thats a good idea. And give us a tour trough the sets and let us see the props. And if we are happy. We let them in again. :D
damn straight! 8)
Id like to see a Alien/predator museum exposition. That would be great. With props and all the other things from the Alien/predator saga. I hope they will do that in the near future.
Yeah, a museum of all Alien and Predator things from the movies, costumes, props, replicas etc!! Now that is a great idea Predalienstrike. Ready to march up to FOX studios?
Well if i could i did it. But its very and very far from me. you could say. I live in Holland. But Is there not another way to contact fox or something like that? Because the starwars fans got their museum. So what about alien/predator fans. Then we can email fox about the idea.
That is freaking funny you mentioned star wars because I was going to post that in my previous message stating that HELL! Star Wars fans got theirs why not A and P? But I deleted that. And I know what you mean man! Dude I am trying to find out how to contact FOX myself. I know there is an e-mail that people use to send thir ideas to FOX, but I don't know it, nor can I find the damn thing.
Saw another one boys. Yea on Comedy Central watching Chapell . It was great. I had new stuff in it. It was great. As for you people out there a movie rating can be changed. Jaws was changed fron R to PG because there was no PG-13 in the 70's and It wasnt "powerfull" enough. Whatever the hell that means. Its still delivered the terror. Did it not? I know people that wont set foot in an ocean because of that flick. Big chance AVP will be rated R but if not it will still hold a certian amount of terror as in the first alien movie.
Well about the rating again if you go to the MPAA site and search for the movie they don't have the result yet. I did it a couple times and no results came up. So any of you go to the site and put AVP it probably won't show up.
G-dog ive just send a mail to fox quote: Dear Fox crew, I have a question, and no its not about the outcoming movie of Aliens versus predator. Im a fan of both the franchises. And I had an idea but did not know where to go with it. I saw on the internet that there is a Starwars museum. Which is really great for the fans of Starwars. But here is my question, Or idea. A alien/predator exposition that goes around the world. With props and models and all kind of things. I hope you like the idea of it and that you will do something with it. I had shared the idea with a couple of other fans. And their reaction was great. They all liked it. I hope that you will also like the idea, and i hope to get a reaction from you. Thanx for your time end of quote Hope that I get a reaction soon. and if not i will send it again and again and again.
thanx for da tip me b watchin out 4 them ;D 8)
YEAH PEOPLE! CRANK IT UP ;D
predalienstrike, whats the e-mail bro?????!!!!!!! and congrats to ya!! I hope that they think about it. One thing though, if you don't mind my input, I think it would of been better if you mentioned the Alien and Predator meuseum built somewhere instead of having an exposition that goes around the world. I think that they will think that it will be too much money. Maybe having an Alien and Predator museum built.....say.....in Universal Studios or something (?) some thing of that nature would be better. But, the fact that you threw the idea out to them is GREAT, good job man. 8)
Same goes here boss, nice draft
I'm pretty sure after this weekend, you'll be seeing new tv spots with the rating on it. The count down at the AvP-movie site is at 22 days. I'm sure that with in 10 to 15 days left till the movie, we'll get the official rating.
a rating worry is bad enough,but does anyone know the film's length? I heard it's a mere 1:27 OMG I remember when Superman IV was released it was over 2 hours..but massacred to a crap 90 mins commercial ..let's rush em in..then back out movie..and look what happened to Supes after that major studio blunder!!
Thanx ;D I was over at avpworld. And then i saw it,so i wrote a e-mail right away. quote:ANTI-PG13 CAMPAIGN Thursday 01/07/2004 posted by Corpral Hicks - Well myself and Darkness of AVP Galaxy have decided to launch a joint campaign to stop fox from making Alien vs Predator a PG13, we're going to try and get our various fox involved sources to bring this to foxs attentions. We'd like all of you opinions on this-IN FORCE. So bring out your fury and email fox at foxmovies@fox.com end of quote: I hope to get a reaction from them. And now you guys also have the adress. I do hope its the good one. And G-dog sure i dont mind input why should i.Its always good to share ideas. :) Maybe they will build a museum or something at universal studio's. Its a shame that they still dont have a attraction at universal studio's. I mean they have jurassic park over there,and thats newer. And aliens and predators are a lot more terrifying. And im sure they could scare the hell out of people. ;D
ooohh yyeeaaaa im ganna tear them a new one lol
Easy SaNdMaNxX, dont do nothing stupid now lol
ill try
i read the avp book from what i read if it is the same as the movie its says f**k 4 times and is extremely gory i think it will be rated R
Trust me, when the first spot drops in on England am going to scream this whole site down, When AVP premiers in the States I want to know ALL the reactions from the stars , (well, these ones more) : Ridley Scott James Cameron Sigoney Weaver I only mentioned these people in specific because it would be interesting to hear THEIR reactions to the movie, enticing them to doing an Alien movie even further.
THANK GOD for the FOX e-mail!!!!!!!!!! Good shit Predalienstrike!!!! Hope it works!!! Thanks man!!
