soo...this movie has been waited for since 1992 (I have the nr. 2 issue of the comic from that year where they discuss it), any opinions on the movie or who's likely to win? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

As I recall, the movie script at that time ends with a batallion of Space Marines gunning down both aliens and predators with superior firepower after a colony was ransacked, with a only a few survivors remaining to go home... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is the trailer just the one that doesn't show any actual movie footage, but just a camera scrolling over predator and alien faces/heads/masks/whatever you want to call that shit. |
||||||||
|

|
Heard rumors but haven't seen anything myself. Release Date: August 6, 2004 ..damn... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...waste of time actually....downloading the 'dawn of the dead'-trailer ATM |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
da weeze: i think you read an old script. the one in production now is helmed by paul anderson (resident evil, event horizon, mortal kombat) and takes place on earth, thus no space marines |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dawn of the dead trailer made me interested in seeing it when it comes out. resident evil - sucked mortal kombat - sucked event horizon - decent |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it was an older script. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
resident evil = sucked (in a way where that short-story plot didn't really give the video-games a decent credit) mortal kombat = sucked (but gave a ok representation of the characters, which then got screwed by MK2+3) event horizon = decent (and with some cruel hellish effects) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
who will win? You can see in like 20 sequals...sign a petition to have the director thrown off. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Resident Evil = * (Typical Hollywood horror schlock with overproduced effect and thin video-game plotline) Mortal Kombat: #1: ** (Decent enough distraction) #2: * (No need for a sequel though) #3: * (The TV series was better at this point) Event Horizon: **½ (Overlong, overdramatic sci-fi made tolerable by Laurence Fishburne, neat effects and the Michael Kamen/Orbital soundtrack) |

whenever I try to watch trailers at that apple site my browser crashes, anyone know of another place that has trailers? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well at you can right-click and download the movies, and then watch them from your computer without having to affect the browser. Still needs quicktime though |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
thanks |

Looking forward to it, in the same way I look forward to driving by horrible car crashes. It was one of the few decent Atari Jaguar games. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there's been a few AvP games, i always wanted the one for the jag. i could probably pick up a copy off of ebay, but it'd look like shit these days considering how much my playstation 2 spoils me in that department. i used to love the side scrolling one (ala Streets of Rage) they had in arcades. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
shrug, I find it hard to get excited about these types of movies... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
So Lance Henriksen is casted ay! Will he reprise his role as the hero android Bishop from Aliens 2 ??? |

There are, in hollywood, two directors named "Paul Anderson". One of them, is a great new talent, that hasn't had any bad movies yet, and has crafted marvelous films such as Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Hard Eight and Punch-Drunk Love. He has incredible writing skills, which has already gave him two Academy Award nominations. He also produces his own movies. The other is a really bad director, still named Paul Anderson, that directed 6 movies that average at IMDB the incredible (!) average of about 5.5 , making him one of the worst directors in Hollywood at this moment. He has poor use of his budget, so the movies feel cheap. All his screenplays are laughable. One of them is doing AvP, the other one isn't. That AvP movie, has had a script that's been running around the net for about 2-3 years, and has been often reviewed. It's very bad, corny, and often ridicule. The entire movie shoot, is also rumored to have had major budgetary problems. Let's guess which "Paul Anderson" is doing the movie, and how fucked up the end result will be... |

Although I feel that the movie will be cheesy... I'm still waiting in anticipation for it... Being that I'm a fan of both Alien and Predator! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ditto. not only am I a fan of both the alien and predator universes, the AVP games, comic books, and novels are kick ass as well. I'm sure the movie will blow, but who knows, it may have some partially redeeming action. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

as i read somewhere, the movie will happen in the present and not in the future..lance will play weyland...the owner of the big corporation, weyland-yutani... anyways..setting the movie in the present is stupid..as accorrding to the alien movies..the alien spiecies was unknown ot humans... basically a group of humans are sent to antarctica to investigate some mysterious aztec-like pyramid they find there..and aliens and predators show up...they also mess with the concept that predators are drawn by heat and conflict (both movies state that) and now it's set in a cold area..with little conflict?? i have a feeling this movie will blow hard..which is sad, cuz alien vs. predator could have been a good movie... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But in one comic book the Predators plant Alien eggs on a planet colonised by humans and the eggs infest the peoples cattle creatures roaming the land. And voila! the Predators have brand new aliens to hunt for sport hehe! Maybe there will be something like that , infested penguins and shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah,...i guess the humans disturb alien eggs that been in the temple, and then predators get interested...and then carnage.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in the upcoming movie and alien egg has crashed into planet earth from an asteroid or something millions of years ago. it landed in antarctica and was frozen. the movie is a prequel to the other alien films and has new characters. a team is sent to antarctica (or simillarly cold place) to investigate and all hell breaks loose.... these are the rumours i've heard. |

This film will be GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i think Freddy vs. Jason was better |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Predator was my favorite fuckin' thing when I was a kid. I think I saw the movie when I was like 4. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
god i hate the title of this movie, what would be a better suited one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man...this could be soo cool. but it wont. it looks cheap. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
right, the set sounds like a real bad decision. antarctica holds no values for hunting and hiding. and doesnt fit in the pattern we know from the other movies. i so badly hoped for a alien invasion in a alien movie. or a story like the first AVP comic in a AVP movie, but antarctica is ridiculuous and so is the idea of artefacts. the idea of predator setting free aliens on any planet to hunt them later on was brilliant in the first comic. there were seperated storylines and it presented predators as honorful warriors. mankind settling on a random planet being a mere bystander and one female evolving to become a hunter herself. why couldnt they stick with that... some crappy planet set in the jungle or desert could not be costier than reeling in antarctica. man and if i see artificial snowshit... ah god... |

Stick to Alien 5 which may have Scott directing |

read interview with paul anderson, the director of the movie |

predator rules! |
||||||||
|
|

Ta for that. I still don't hold out much hope, no matter how big a fan of the series he is he sounds like an arse and he makes crap films. |

Heh, something from Robert Rodriguez: How about "Predator 3", is it still in development? "Oh, "Predators", yes we're the "Predator 3", it's call "Predators". It was back when I was doing "Desperado". I wrote "Desperado", it was going to get made like end of September, and then "Last Action Hero" bombed, so they said we're not making any movies for a year, like next year. So I was like what am I going to do until then? So I took a writing assignment, and one of the writing assignments that was out was "Predator" sequel. "So I said, yes I'll write a version of that. And it was just -- it was just crazy, it was huge, it was a big, big, big budget. Because I didn't have to direct it, I just had to write it. So I didn't really think about the budget, I was just like wrote this, wrote that. And it was really a cool script, it's floating around somewhere. But it's huge, and will never be made, the studio edited it and said there's no way we can make this, this would cost -- even at that time -- 150 million, and no women would ever go see this movie. It's too big, and they've now combined alien versus "Predators". So they're putting two franchises together, which is probably a smarter way to go since both of those franchises are pretty much dying down. It's the only way to really revitalize it at all. But yes, the -- I don't think that'd ever make it, it was just too expensive". |

insightful interview, thanks |

"now is helmed by paul anderson" bugger, there goes any hopes of it being a decent movie, at least it keeps his talentless ass away from the Silent Hill movie. |

i don't understand lance henriksen's casting and how it fits into what we know from the other movies. is the scientist that created bishop (lance's role in A3) some sort of decendent of the company owner (lance's role in AvP) or are they not going to try to make a connection? i love lance, i just don't get this part of it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
want the scientist in A3 an android?.....and in AvP he is the rich businessman Charles (?) Weyland..that probably created androids in his own image. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aww crap, that guy did Resident Evil. I couldn't even bear to watch more than a few minutes of that. Terrible terrible. |
||||||||

|

yes, I already posted that about a week ago. it looks shit. |
||||||||
|

sorry man...haven't been online for like 6 months until last friday...... |

the original company/corporation that sent out (and owned) the Nostromo was calle Weyland-Yutani. and the man in Alien 3 was indeed the creator of the android Bishop - although I can't remember if he was called Weyland too, but most probably he was. so the Weyland in AvP will be an ancestor or even originator of the Weyland-Yutani corporation. my guess is they will somehow link the presence of the aliens on Earth with LV-426, the planet the Nostromo visits, so that the Weyland in AvP can make a mental note to visit LV-426 if ever possible - hey presto, the mission that the Nostromo will be on years later has been born. pff. |

that's quite alright.. :) did you like the trailer? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as far as I understand it, AvP takes place quite a while before "Alien", btw. could be wrong there, ofcourse. |
