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?!

Ok I’m going to use this symbol from now on when I’m being sarcastic. (S).
(Example)
“Do you want some candy” (S).
What I meant about the Predators not killing anyone unarmed, that means on first contact. Arnold was shooting at the pred all day long and Bishop, (Mr Wayland) had lung cancer and the Pred let him go, then the bastard takes a shot at him from behind.
Wtf!!!!!! (S).
790,
You just want to BE a Predator!!! ;p (me too, only when I go grocery shopping though)
“Want some Candy”… such a classic…
No, no, Predators are highly advanced beings who a passion for hunting and war. I love the Predator concept to bits.
I think it’s difficult to categorize human traits in Aliens as most of the time, we register behavior that is in actual fact just an intelligent act. But sure, they can have compassion etc. But what made Predator different is that we just didn’t quite know what he would do. What to expect. Their behavior must always fall a but off the registry of what humans expect humans to do. That’s what makes them aliens. So, they did that well. You know a really bad move would be if they had a predator yank out a picture of his wife and two baby Predators just as he dies and puts it where his hearts are. THAT would be over doing it and I’m sure certain people would have an uncontrollable urge to vomit (me included) if that was ever filmed.
Anyone remember that freak ALIEN in Alien 4 that was a pile of lard, that got sucked out into space??? At one point I swear it almost said MOOOMMMMAAAA… but I’m probably thinking about one of the worst ending in the history of endings in a Sci Fi movie. Which movie was that? Ummm One of the Planet of the Apes movie where the end scene is a monkey in a cage saying Moma, Moma, moma (but the way they shot it was so cheesy!!) They rewind the clip over and over to match the monkey’s lips moving. Hoooorible!
Anyway, Predators must be kept as an adrenaline pumping machine in the movie and ALIENs the horrific nightmare haunting people, randomly. That works best in a movie. The audience needs to be taken on an adventure and an exciting ride.
Though I have to be honest, having Lion sounds for ALIENS never worked for me… it was too silly… the hissing sounds and screeching sounds were a hell of a lot more terrifying. ALIEN one and two and I think three had them.
Alan. You typed…
Humans, when cornered, don’t normally take their own life, and certainly don’t make an attempt to take out a mile radius. And the reason they take their own life is to prevent their technology from ending up in the hands of their prey, and to ultimately win the battle, and any cost. It’s almost an honour thing for them. I don’t recall anything like that in our society.
Yeah true, except for Starfleet Captains. (S)
“Computer activate self destruct program authorization Kirk, 0010-00 omega”.
I’m pretty sure they got that from Star Trek…..
And you said it yourself that they have a language in the novels. I would think that just because the symbols don’t look like the ABC’s that its still a language. ???
I really want to be a T-1000, haha.
Yeah well I’m not saying the predators should whip out family pictures (lMAO) I’m just saying they could write a script with their POV.
Also
Alien 4, yes had a crap ending. BUT have you seen the extended cut ending.
(Wow).
Remember Riply and Wynnona are about to land on earth. Well in the extended cut they do and its wasted. (Check it)
“Riplys last line is “Earth yeah it aint what it used to be”. Or something close to that. I loved it they showed a wasted looking Paris. It was great!!!!
You need to read the entire post before you reply 790. That’s why I said it was a rhetorical question. The thought that a species could develop to the technological state that the predators have without a language is ridiculous to say the least.
Stephen, the thought of a predator pulling out a picture of his wife and kid made me burst out laughing so hard. I immediately thought of a nice little picture frame of his wife and kids on the wall where he keeps his hunting skulls.
Oh sorry. I do that sometimes.
Alan,
Don’t forget to imagine the baby Predator having a huge diaper and the wife has a blond wig cause the females ONLY differ in that they have a fascination with blond human curly hair. ;p
It would be ALMOST as bad as reliving Chewbacca’s retarded family in the Star Wars Christmas special!!!
I just watched it with the Rifftrax and it was funny but even THEY had a hard time saving it…

I have sent this idea to John Davis, but it will probably get thrown out. You can’t have an AVP movie without humans who’s going to watch basically a slient film with no dialouge.
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
Hey Craig, please have John Davis read ALL these fine comments. It would be a great thing if he did…
John Davis is really into Sims The Movie so….
did you send it to his office or his agent? Or privately?
Craig I like your prequel idea but its kinda predictable and boring. (I swear if I live thru another scene where an Alien breaks out of a lab I’m gonna puke).
I would much rather see a true Aliens vs Predator orgin on what started their conflict. I don’t buy that aliens are just big game.
And I kinda know J Davis and nothing we say here will make any difference to the guy.
(His office is in SM/Cal…
Stephen did you say Davis was into the Sims PC game? Gheesh what a power freak.
790,
No I’m just saying since he’s really making Sims The movie, I suppose he’s either doing it for the money or he really does have a thing for it. :[
I kind of find it funny that when I talked to Bryan, he said it was a drama? How the heck is The Sims a Drama?
Synopsis :
Pleasantview is one of the most delightful neighbourhoods to live in, everybody is happy, the grass is always green, children are always well-mannered. But newcomer Andie starts to uncover the ‘real’ pleasantview, for not only are Pleasantville full of cheating, lying, decieving, secret-ridden people like the Goths, Don Lothario and the struggling Newbies, but they are being ruled by a greater power. Andie is terrified to discover they are stuck in a video game being played by millions universally.
Sorry but that’s kind of Twilight Zone, Outer Limits kind of thing but not very funny.
A SIM’s movie.
You have gotta be kidding me.
If Hollywoods making that, I want another Cronicles of Riddick! Seriously…..
Whens the Lego Star Wars film due out? Gheessh.
Sounds like another quality Davis Production. Lol.
Nobodys going to see a SIMs movie? Nobody!!!
Trust me 790,
A certain group of people called IDIOTS, walking past us every day, taking care of day to day operations in highly intensive areas of this world WILL, go and watch it… maybe even more than once.
You know its funny you mentioned Riddick. I almost got to write a script for it. But I don’t know what the hell happened. My story was sat before episode 1 and one AFTER episode 1.
It was an origin film and then the resolution. It was supposed to be a trilogy but then I have no clue to this very day what happened…
Sucks because it seems the IDIOTS outnumber us like 10 to 1.
I “used” to know a guy that was into the SIM game, he would show me how his virtual SIM family was building there communtiy. It reminded me of the Sea Monkey game we used to play with. Certain people sure want to micro manage other people. Its sick.
Half the readers here will laugh I’m sure, but I thought the Cronicles Of Riddick was one of the most original sci-fi films in years….
Vin never looked so bad ass !
Yeah we are DOOOOOOOOMED!
I ain’t laughing…
Pitch Black was one of my favorite modern sci fi movies. Personally because Claudia Black is in it and Vin was such a bad ass!!! Those aliens were awesome and the feel not to mention the score was perfect!
Loved it. Still do. The second part wasn’t bad, just not in tune with the first one. I was so happy when I first heard they were making a trilogy, so I penned out a treatment but then suddenly it turned into a cartoon and just one movie.
Haha. Your Farscape side is showing. Yeah I felt both fims were unique. Cronicles had top-notch cinematography.
And that animated cartoon (Dark Fury) I think happened because Cronicles kinda bombed.
I’m sure Vin Diesel will bring that franchise back someday.
Hopefully before were all implanted.
Frell, it does show… hmm what the yotz can I do about this dren? I mean I miss Farscape so much! I get my ticks and I need my fix… Farscape was the DREN!!!
Good News, I’ve read that Rocky S’Obannon (spell check) is writing a Farscape movie.
Henson Studios will hopfully produce in a few years a Farscape feature film.
Ben Browder and Claudia have all expressed interest.
Too bad about Dargo, but we have his son. Hope they do it and I hope Wormhole weapons are back! And of course Scorpius. !!
Rockne is writing a movie? He’s working on Warehouse 13 at the moment.
To be honest I’ve been meaning to get in touch with him cause I have an idea I’m sure he would be interested in doing. I just need to write the bible for it first.
I know Ben and Claud are both very much interested in going back to the roots of Farscape and doing another run. I welcome it.
But, a film? Hmm I haven’t heard anything about that. I know the minisodes are coming but that’s about it. I hope it won’t be Jim Henson company doing Farscape cause then Disney has something to say and I’d rather they keep quiet when it concerns Farscape.
Let 20th C. Fox do it. Or Universal. After all they did ok with Serenity when they made a movie out of it.
Scorpius HAS to come back. Dargo? Hmm probably not. I’m sure Rockne has a bright idea how to bring it back or onto the big screen. I trust him completely.
I forgot where I read that but I’m fairly sure he was trying to come up with a treatment for a film, not the webisodes.
I hope you get ahold of him!
Be cool to see a conflict between the time-aliens and the Scarrens, with Chricton and family in the balance.
Have to say I hate SG Atalantis for not only contributing to Farscapes demise but then having the balls to steal the two main characters. Hate that show!
790, I hate SG Atlantis too!!!! But to be honest it was SG-1 which first stole Ben and then made a frelled up episode where they mocked Farscape!!! DAMN THEM!
I talked to Ben a while ago and I don’t know if you know this, but Ben was offered the role of Apollo on BSG. Yep, he naturally went where there was more money. But then if Ben had taken the role I am sure BSG would have been a bit different, more dramatic with Apollo. Ben is a fantastic actor and one of the coolest people out there.
By the way Sorry Vic for contaminating your Predator thread… we’ll keep it on topic from now on, we promise.
Yeah your right it was Stargate starring McGuber.
(Sorry Vic).
Wow, I have to say I would have rather seen him in BSG.
Next time you see him tell him 790′s a big fan! And to do a Farscape film!!!! Thanks.
I never really got into farscape and stargate. But they are good shows. I usually just watch sci-fi movies. Movies keep my attention.
If you get a chance check out Farscape, the Peacekeeper wars. Its a 3 hour Farscape movie.
I think you’ll like it Lauren.
I sent it to his office attention John Davis.
I know it may seem predictable but, in my opinion this is what they would have to do to merge the series’s and after that they would be free to go to any planet in any time.
If you think about it, it is the only logical way that the company knows about the alien and where it is in the first alien movie.
In Predator, I think the whole “fighting without weapons or armor” is more about honor. The Predator has Arnold outmatched by a mile with weapons, so hand-to-hand makes it fair (sorta). And I’ve always wondered how a Predator reproduces. Are they asexual? All female? Male/female? Do they lay eggs or something like that? Do they “grow” them in a lab somewhere? I’ve always wondered that. And I might be crazy, but one of the aliens has the same cloaking ability as Predator in AVP. Is it like that in ANY of the other Alien movies?
Yeah man i liked avp one and two,but they sould live it alone for a while and work on another alien or predator movie.
