Look what we have here. You may remember ADI brought out a book around the time AvP was released called "The Creature Effects of ADI". Well, they're bringing another one out for AvP2. There's two pictures on the right panel that are from AvP2, right? Okay, the Predator picture is too small to see anything but at ... [Read More]
Remember the Fangoria Weekend of Horror event, we reported last month? Turns out there will be an AvP2 Panel there with ADI SFX creators Tom Woodruff and Alex Gillis. The event will probably be similar to the Comic-Con event that was held before AvP came out. Q&A session followed by whatever it is they're showing. Though they ... [Read More]
Okay, we have a few more tidbits of information about AvP2. Co-director Colin Strause was talking on IMDB.
Firstly, he finally confirmed that the aliens in AvP2 have more than one finger and that the production still was just a really bad angle. A debate about this can be found here in the forum.
He also ...[Read More]
Colin recently gave a small comment on how the effects in AvP2 were done:
"Special Effects are done on set. Visual Effects are done after the shoot. We started some of the bigger shots early on in the editting, but most of the shots aren't started until the edit is mostly locked in so that you aren't wasting money on shots ... [Read More]
I've added a new theme to the forum to go with the previous Alien, Predator and Marine themes. This time, it's based around H.R. Giger. It's come out pretty well too. Probably my best one yet.
Members can change their theme by going to their Profile > Look and Layout Preferences > Current Theme > Change. [Read More]
I was just doing some searches on Google and came across an actor's website. Jason Rickey will be playing an E.R. Trauma Doctor in AvP2 according to his official site. So I guess that means there'll be a scene in a hospital. Not surprising, I guess a lot of people will be getting hurt after the Aliens are ... [Read More]
I have to admit, AvP2 news has been pretty scarce this month. Anyway, a new cast member has been added to IMDB's AvP2 page. Chelah Horsdal will be playing a character called Darcy Benson, apparently. Never heard of her myself> ... though that can be said for most cast members in AvP2. :wink: She's ... [Read More]
There's a new article on CGSociety about the editing in AvP2. Most of it goes way over my head, it's very technical. They talk about the crew using AJA KONA 3 and Apple Final Cut Pro to edit the movie.
"The Alien vs. Predator 2 editorial team modified their existing workflow to integrate with the pipeline at visual ... [Read More]
Saw this last week but I didn't think it was relevant. How wrong I was. AliensOnline posted Spanish covers of the Alien Resurrection and Predator 2 definitive edition dvds. What's interesting is that the Predator used for the P2 cover resembles the one in AvP2, don't you think?
I thought it was the one from Predator 2 or ... [Read More]
Some worrying news. There's an article over at MSNBC about the least anticipated movies of 2007. AvP2 is listed fourth, right under Fantastic Four 2. :angry:
"I love it when a movie feels the need to name itself twice in the same title. Like the audience is so lazy they won’t be able to bother themselves to ... [Read More]
Seems there will be some form of advanced preview of AvP2 at this years Fangoria's Weekend of Horror Convention. The convention takes place for three days - May 18-20, 2007 at Burbank’s Marriott Airport Hilton.
"The convention will also host a costume contest, dessert party (free and open to Gold and Silver customers only), giant dealers’ marketplace, FANGORIA TV ... [Read More]
I was reading an interesting article this morning on Bloody Disgusting about the MPAA creating a new rating called "Hard R". I guess for us non-Americans, the idea is to re-create the NC17 rating but without the negative impact on marketing. i.e. NC17 has a bad rep with cinemas and video stores like Blockbuster refuse to stock them.
"The ... [Read More]
