According to horror news website ShockTilYouDrop Aliens vs Predator 3 is going to be made. Here’s a quote from the site:
“An anonymous source over at 20th Century Fox got in touch with us over the weekend to relay the news another Aliens vs. Predator sequel is a ‘certainty’ at this point. If you recall, the brothers Strause – who helmed the Christmas release Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem – stated Fox was going to take a ‘wait-and-see’ approach to a third chapter, furthermore, that the story would have to continue in space.”
Just shoot me right now. Please.

Haven’t they tortured us enough?
Between the weak Alien vs Predator and the heinous creation that was Aliens vs Predator: Requiem I had truly hoped this franchise was dead. Ah, but where there’s even a meager amount of money to be made, a movie franchise will never die (can you say “Freddy” or “Jason”?).
It only made $129 million worldwide, and overseas crowds must have liked it more than folks in the U.S. because here it only earned $42 million. In case you don’t know, for a movie like this that is WEAK. They must have made it on the cheap for it to have shown a profit. First time directors and no name actors probably contributed to that.
I guess the DVD release of the movie is right around the corner and they’re anticipating good sales on that. No doubt they’ll have an “unrated” version… When is it coming out? Who cares!
I don’t think there is a snowball’s chance in Hell that this movie could possibly be good at all, but I’m sure they’ll come up with some spin or director that will once again fan the flames of hope in fans of both franchises. Like a girl you have a crush on that keeps saying she’ll go out with you and then cancels at the last minute, I’m sure that the next film will leave us beaten and disappointed. Again.
Hey, maybe they can get Brett Ratner to direct it, wouldn’t that be cool?!

I’d rather have them just make another “Predator” movie or another “Aliens” movie. Not that the lame crap that Hollywood seems to write these days would compare to the original films, but at least we might be able to get 2 decent films instead of one awful one.
Andy, I gotta agree. Even considering I thought Alien 3 was all wrong (mostly for killing off Newt and Hicks between films – all the chemistry the characters had developed to that point was wasted, and it just mired the whole film with an air of depression that turned me off) – it was still light years ahead of this garbage.
The first AVP ruined my childhood. The Second crapped all over my childhood. I never thought these franchises could possibly sink so low!
In my highly unpopular opinion, I think that Predator is a superior movie to Alien. The film doesn’t feel like a film, there’s some mystical, magical thing goin’ on with it. While Alien was superb I also prefer the sequal Aliens.
I just miss movies of the caliber as Predator and Aliens. This crap we have today just can’t compare.
Yea I agree with all 3 of you guys.
It would be great to see Predator and Aliens stand alone films…but…,This “VS” synergy really sucks if not done with some respect to both franchises… And so far repspect to story origins is out the window.
If anything Vic AvP3 couldn’t be worse than 2, if its in space, could it???
Unfortunitly for US the film did well overseas. Looks like its profitable so here’s comes the sequel…
Wow how things are off course these days… ¤¤¤ ?
What’s ironic about all this is if not for that Alien skull in Predator 2 we wouldn’t be having this post.
Someone please just make the bad men stop.
I just imagined a nice dinner scene between Ridley Scott, Dan O’Bannon, James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver. And while they talk about past times and enjoy a glass of wine they smile knowingly at each other and think to themselves: “We told them greedy bastards, didn’t we!”
ZAR.
SHAME ON FOX!!!!!
What’s really sad is that I loved the first set of comics and there was so much hope for the movie in 1993, until they canned it in 94 to make Alien Resurrection.

Not another one!!!
Ok, that’s it! Kahless, take out your bat’leth and slice me up! Come on, you can do it!
I would be killing myself if I did that, petaQ!!

I suppose original thought has left the building. But if Hollywood can’t think of anything original, at least pick something worthy. GEEZZZZEEEE!!!
Hey Everyone
I just read that the might be moving Iron Man Up To april 30th. Anybody else here anything about it?
I guess they already killed both series already, why not just milk this one instead of going out and finding something else to ruin.
Heath you know that Alien Resurection inspired Joss Whedon to create his Firefly show.
I’m just goin to let that hang out in the breeze.
Joss Wedon was the main writer on Alien Resurection.
*Correction*
Joss Whedon.
Guy has weird name.
That would be great if they moved Iron Man up to April 30!
holy crap, if i end up seeing this i will kill every one in the movie theater. when will hollywood learn?

Famous Last Words…
they need to keep them separate. both movies proved that they don’t mix well on screen. I would love an good old fashioned Alien movie in the style of Aliens, which is my favorite film of the Alien series. I watched it last night actually lol. Alien 3 is kinda depressing. I really like Michael Biehn and I wish he was in it. it is still a good movie though.
I would really love a new Predator movie.
I wish they would have done more predator movies when all the good directors were active. most of the new ones suck at making movies
Michael Biehn is always great in a military role. I thought Bill Paxton was great as a kind of comic relief in Aliens.
They should make another Predator movie with any one of these actors: The Rock, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez (a different twist), or a number of other actors/actresses.
Yea they could do another Aliens film easliy. The last Alien film took place like hundreds of years after Alien 3.
There’s alot of Wayland Industries subplots that could be explored.
Great news!
Keep them coming and dont let the oh so serious brigade stop them.
get big Arnie back for a bit of fun.
LOL, the “oh so serious brigade.” I’m not always serious, I just hate movies that SUCK.

If they’re going to make an AvP movie they need to do it with zero boundries. The first made the mistake of using a pyramid, LAME! and too much human involvement. The second, one city just isn’t going to cut it. Both Aliens & Predators have so much prowess you can’t clump them in any small amount. Lastly the aliens spawn rate in 2 even for a minor populated area was ridiculous. Better off to just go with an old style Aliens movie.
I could go for a AvP film based onboard a Predator ship. It would have to be a BIG ship. They could even have a ty-in with the Nostromo…
Remember that ship was drifting for years and it was huge. They could have landed checked it out and then had an outbreak and possible contamination brought onboard their ship. They take off and we get a Predators type of Aliens film.
The production would have to get NEW writers and a different director.
Alien and Predator canon would have to be followed this time and no more 2 hour spawn rate for the aliens.
Even that idea isn’t that creative but I would have rather seen that then Requim.
First off they should get Adam Baldwin back to reprise his role of Garber and he could be with the now weyland yutani corp. Maybe bring in Jake Busey to play peter keys son? still have it on earth but on a remote tropical island where they have the preds pod from AVP-R and the frozen but now thawed alien queen from AVP. with her now producing eggs. there is the usual catasrophy to allow the aliens to run a muck and a predator ship that looks like the derilic craft in alien and aliens with a spacejockey on board are transporting eggs to other hunting grounds, they scan earth for the heat and conflict they crave and see the aliens are running a muck on the island they cloak and land but the scientist notice the atmospheric disterbance and go to the ship and play a homing device on it. in the end the ship crashes on LV-426 and the last thing you see is the alien queen moving to the back of the ship and the camera pans back to reveil all the eggs and since there is a homing device on it this is how weyland yutani knows where the ship is and to bring back the life form.
I like that concept Craig…
Its too bad the producers arnt as creative.
I have sent it to FOX but they have a no unsolicited idea rule, so it probably ended up in the garbage.
In my opinion they would have to do this to merge the 2 franchies completely and then they would be free to do an AVP or predator or alien movie where ever and when ever they want. I have also sent it to 2 writing companies since they said I could but heard nothing else from them, I even sent a copy to James Cameron.
Craig try (Davis Productions in Santa Monica). There the main production company on aVp.
Keep in mind since your concept isn’t registered with DGA or SAG (I’m assuming) they can’t officially look at it but they can steal it…?
Camerons soo involved with his latest film that he’s out of touch for awhile. ,and he’s a big *#@£$)¤*€ jerk. And he’s also a *»¥%#’s.
I love AVP 1 and 2 please bring on the 3rd
