I'm sure you and the other writer would've made one hell of a AVP story/script, for sure. It's a shame Fox is f**king this up. I'm surprised it's really been difficult to get it "right".
All they have to do is look at what made the previous films "work" and apply that to an original story. I don't think an original setting/story would be really difficult to do, since Darkhorse comics was able to make some very interesting AVP stories.
Fox should've hired a Darkhorse comic/graphic novel writer, or one of the Alien/Predator novel writers, such as yourself, to write the sequel. Fox was blind to the fact that it wasn't just the look of the creatures and lack of gore that was the problem with the first AVP film, but also, the story, human characters and how the Alien/Predator were written.
Anyway, I was hoping it would only take one AVP film to get it "right", but it's a shame to see that AVP-R tried, but also failed. I guess it will take three films (hopefully) to do it.
