All this is all nice and all, but most of your stories don't make much sense... I know they're what you could call "Quick works", but there are so many holes in them that they lose all credibility... The idea that Dutch would come from nowhere and ally himself with Wayland is just silly... First of all, he would probably be pretty traumatised from his previous encounter with the pred, he lost all his comrades and he almost got killed... Plus, what the heck would he be doing there ( why would he be there, in the middle of nowhere? ). I know there are already some commandos there to protect the scientists, but he's on a team that was specialized in 'rescue missions', and there, they're supposed to do research... Also, Dutch probably hates the preds as all his team / friends got killed by one. So, there would be no reason for him to ally with the preds... even if there was an alien 'overrun'. I don't think that Dutch would just decide to go kill the Alien Queen with the preds, as he doesn't really care for trophies and sport. He would probably be more concerned about getting every human out and then having the place nuked or something... as he probably knows that he wouldn't be much help to the preds. It's also not like he's likely to trust them! Putting very well known actors in the movie would also probably only 'divert' the attention from the more important part of the story, which is the actual ALIEN vs PREDATOR part... humans are supposed to have a secondary role in all this, no need for superstars. The humans are only there to offer a P.O.V. that is more easy for us to relate to and to be able to understand a bit better the story. Concerning the Predalien, I know that it's been mentionned in one of the earlier interview that there was a 'box' on which there was written something like "hybrid"... but seriously, I kinda doubt that there's going to be a predalien in the movie and I'll tell you why: First of all, if there were a predalien, it would 'take away' some importance from the 'Alien vs Predator' part, as most people are there to see those 2 battle it out... come on, it's the first movie! It would be stupid of them to put all the 'juicy' and fun stuff in this film! I know it would be amazing to actually see a predalien on film, but I think it should be kept for the second movie ( it would be a good reason to make an AvP2 ). For now, it would satisfy me to see the battle between Aliens and Preds as well as seeing how they will deal with the situation, the environment, the queen and the presence of humans... that's a lot! Don't you think that adding anything more would only force Paul to sacrifice quality for quantity? I think that with all the elements that we have now, we have enough to make an amazing movie! Remember Mortal Kombat 2? They made that exact mistake in it... they wanted to put SO MUCH stuff in it ( to please everyone ) that they ended up with... well, you know what
The more characters you put in, the harder it is to give each of them unique, deep and interesting backgrounds, etc. I'm not saying that I want the Predalien to have a story all by itself, but I think it would be cool to give it an important role and have it be a real challenge to each species... something that would be of a different 'order' than the Queen. Heck, there could be only 1 throughout all the movie, but maybe it could be sneeky and hard to kill... and also massive!
*Note: About the Space Jokeys story... I think that some of you give WAY to much importance to those guys... they were only there to show how scattered / widespread in the universe the Aliens are and what they are capable of. Also, it makes the story more misterious, as they got a 'distress signal' and when they arrived, everyone was dead... Also, the Space Jokeys DID NOT create the Aliens ( and that is a FACT ), they are but mere victims on the long list of the Aliens. Otherwise, they would've propably have come up with something more efficient to control them... they probably simply discovered them on a planet or something and eventually got killed by their finding! Long live Z and k!
