Paul W.S Anderson or The Strause Brothers for AVP3?

[MadassAlex]

Nah dude, they all know kung fu. So they could kick Aliens in the head like fifty times or some shit, I dunno.

USE THE GODDAMN COMIC BOOK STORY!!! It was even made into a script at one point. It would have been far better.

Stop casting crappy actors and actresses like that lead chick in AVP. Horrible just horrible, I never once believed she would be able to survive a situation like that, much less know what to do in it. She would be too concerned with breaking a nail or messing up here weave than being able to take on a queen alien. Should have had an Asian girl like in the comic. That would be more believable than what we got.

...Because Asian people are... immune to, like, acid blood, or something?

Because name one TRULY believable black female lead in a scifi movie worth mentioning. The are none, especially not by the one in AVP. I'm not trying to be racist(even though it may sound so) but she has no place in this kind of movie. She stuck out like a sore thumb in this movie and was totally out of place. It was Anderson attempting to make a new Ripley and failing cause that chick would never live up to it.

Storm in X-Men.

And Martha in Dr Who if you want to include TV.

Black female leads in sci fi would be just as novel as Ripley was.  Even if Lex wasn't believeable or even faintly interesting.

Kickass EAST Asian girls are cliched and have been for some time.

They are clichéd but the character would be more entertaining/interesting IMO.

Who was that chick who played Uhura in the recent Star Trek movie?

[SM]

Zoe Saldana.

Was going to mention her, but she wasn't a lead in Star Trek and was a bunch of blue pixels in Avatar.

I mean damn. Even if we ignore the obvious cost problems then we have to see that finding actors for that many Aliens and Preds at once would be hard to do. And no one wants CGI, NO ONE.

[SM]

Nothing at all wrong with properly executed CGI.

Either way, the original AvP storyline has already been more or less committed to celluloid.

They are clichéd but the character would be more entertaining/interesting IMO.

Making Lex east Asian instead of African American would not have changed the film one iota.  She'd still be dull.

What does that have to do with Sanaa Lathan's acting skills.

I guess if one is a hardcore fan of the original comic it would have made a difference somehow.

Dull or not, someone like Lucy Liu would have been better IMO, and no I am not a hardcore fan of the original comic.

[DoomRulz]

An actress with Lucy Liu's resume wouldn't touch AvP with a ten-foot garbage poll.

Speaking of cliched...

[walker31]

I really dont think it was unbelievable because she was black, but rather because she was a no name actress and cuz she was too pretty.  It's hard to sell pretty and tough.  Angelina cant sell it ever.  Her movies do well cuz she is pretty, but does anyone really believe she can kick ass, NO!  That's why most pretty boy actors who do movies that they want to be taken serious in make themselves look less attractive, think brad pitt in 12 Monkeys.  Secondly, everyone in both AVP movies looked like they walked off the set of a bad SyFi made for TV movie.  Sigourney sold the Aliens franchise because of her acting ability, but she isnt what most considered hot.  Also, remember GI jane, Demi didnt sell that part till she shaved her head, didnt look so DTF, and then you could almost believe her keeping up....
