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.

Short version: I didn’t think it was possible, but AVP-R is worse than the previous Aliens vs Predator movie.

Abandon all hope ye who enter a movie theater that is showing Aliens vs Predator: Requiem.

It’s that bad. I kid you not. As first time directors, “The Brothers Strauss” (as they are referred to in the credits) are great visual effects guys. Honestly, I’m having a hard time coming up with ways to tell you just how depressingly awful this movie is, but I’ll do my best.

Considering the greatness that came before it, the first Alien vs Predator movie wasn’t a big hit with fans of either franchise. It was OK I suppose, but overall it was a bit of a letdown.

However, money talks in Hollywood, so it’s no surprise that a sequel has been made due to AVP’s $170 million worldwide gross.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem or AVP-R as the marketing guys would like it to be known, will be released on Christmas day, and the official website has now gone live.

There’s quite a lot to see on the site and you can also make your own Predalien or send a loved one your very own Facehugger E-card.

Did I really just type that?

Here’s a summary of what’s going on today in the wonderful world of entertainment…

- Harlan Ellison debunks the rumor that Star Trek 11 incorporates the Guardian of Forever. We reported this AS rumor a month ago, so we don’t fall under the category of blogs that Ellison so colorfully refers. - TrekMovie.com (warning, lots of colorful language… it IS Harlan Ellison after all)

- AICN floats a supposed alternative title to the upcoming Justice League movie which I believe is utter and complete hogwash and there’s no way it’s true. - AICN

- The uber-classic sci fi film Metropolis is headed for a remake. This could be incredibly stupid and the odds are that it’s a bad idea. However there is a very, very slight chance that if done correctly it could turn into a modern day classic. - FirstShowing.net

I was going to throw a copy of the new Aliens vs Predator:Requiem footage (it’s not really technically a trailer, actually it’s a scene from the movie), but it’s pretty damned gory so I’ll just point you towards IESB.net to check it out, where they will ask for some age verification.

This one looks to be shaping up as what the first one should have been.

Thanks to SHH! for the heads up.

If you are at all interested in seeing Aliens vs Predator: Requiem and want any sort of suspension of disbelief and sense of dread when it comes to the new Alien creature, I would recommend you not click on the image on the left. I purposely blurred and darkened the image you see to retain at least some sense of mystery about the creature because the large version is ridiculously bright, clear and completely devoid of any menace.

It actually looks kind of like a Halloween costume.

[UPDATE: Apparently I wasn't wrong: AVP-R is terrible - worse than the first one.]

Thanks to IGN.com we have a look at a brand new trailer for Aliens vs Predator: Requiem / AVP-R.

At least trailer-wise this thing seems to be looking better and better. There are scenes in this new trailer that actually seem to be paying homage to the original Alien movies, and the lead female Reiko Aylesworth seems to be channeling Sigourney Weaver big-time.

At the very least I’m betting it’ll be better than the first AVP…

While I really didn’t like the red band trailer for Aliens vs Predator: Requiem, I have to admit that the new one below is a vast improvement over that one.

Over at MTV.com the guys behind the AVP sequel Aliens vs Predator: Requiem spill a ton of details about the upcoming movie.

I won’t go into a lot of detail here since I try to avoid heavy spoilers on the site, but some of the highlights include:

I think the tagline for Aliens vs Predator: Requiem should be:

Abandon Ye All Hope

And I’m not referring to the characters in the movie… I’m talking about the audience.

The first trailer for AVP2 is out, and be warned that this is a “Red Band” trailer. Meaning it is not approved for all audiences, has tons of gore, violence and R-rated language.
