Alien vs. Predator Movie Trailer Available

downix writes "Coming to a theatre next summer is one of the most often delayed movie titles known to sci-fi fans, Alien vs. Predator. The movie's official website is pretty bare, but a teaser trailer can be found on Apple's trailers page. I don't know how many hours I wasted playing the AvP game on the Atari Jaguar, but I do know that this is something that will have to be seen to be believed. This gives hope to everyone that even Duke Nukem Forever can arrive one day."

Slashdot vs. Server

Trailer won't be available, because Slashdot wins.

Its the apple movie trailer server, its got more bandwidth than god.

God only has dsl.

However, they do have trouble copying a 17Mb file from one folder to another, even with all that bandwidth.

Apparently, the server admin has an old Pentium Pro on a 56k modem that can serve multi-gigabyte files much more quickly.

Let's hope more movies are made

This gives hope to everyone that even Duke Nukem Forever can arrive one day.

Still waiting for Pong-The Movie myself ...

Been done.

Is this something about...

[Nom du Keyboard]

Is this something about Microsoft verses SCO?

Jaguar?

[t0rnt0pieces]

I don't know how many hours I wasted playing AvP on the Atari Jaguar

So you're the guy that bought the Jaguar...

If I wanted to watch a trailer from the perspective of a louse crawling around on their skin I would say this trailer is cool.

But I don't!

Nice, but

[jabbadabbadoo]

I'm looking forward to "Slashdot vs. Microsoft - The Movie."

I guess the casting process will be difficult. For instance, a *lot* of food consumption in the auditions, not to forget actor-wannabees asking the crew for the WLAN SSID.

I wonder who'll play CowboyNeil?

that's an akamai server, bub

[SweetAndSourJesus]

Slashdot doesn't stand a chance.

Re:I hope it lives up to the comic.

[shane_rimmer]

Did anyone else read the Dark Horse AVsP comic?

No, I'm pretty sure you're the only one who has. ;)

Why do so many new movies...

[Tokerat]

...use initials, as if they where some kind of open-source project or something?

"Yes, the new AVP system can completely increase the likelyhood of blood, guts, and gore; thus guarenteeing people will pack into theaters to see it."

We all know how well LXG did. Ever since ID4 was so popular...*sigh* AVP isn't even that good of an abbriviation. Ashcroft Vs. Powell? Anti-Virus Protection? Always Verify Postings? Avril laVigne's Poontang? It's like they're trying to market to the Internet hype crowd by "giving" us an official acronym/abbrivitation/initial-shortened spelling, whatever they want to call it. Hey guys if your movie is worth a shit after the 8 years you spent pretending it was comming out, we'll dub it what we feel worthy. Perhaps less on marketing and more on "movie" and you wont' have to worry about us giving it some other name like FPC - Festering Pile of Crap.

Erm, perhaps i should see it first before I call it crap. But marketing ploys like this sure make it look like they have something to hide. :-\

Im still waiting for Picard vs. Zap Branigan

Arrr lameness filter, she be a b*tch tonight. (said of course with the voice of the Captain from the Simpsons). Still too lame. Can I trade off some of my karma to be able to pass the lameness filter? I'll even read a Jon Katz article if it will get it through. Junk Junk Junk, I got more junk than Fred Sanford.

Re:Season's schedule.

[MicktheMech]

Well there's no contest here. Picard has the crew of the enterprise (# unknown, I'm sure someone will chime in with it) vs. wave after suicidal wave of DOOP's most expendable.

Re:Season's schedule.

[Calmth]

THis must be the loser's bracket... Because from what I remember, Arnold > Predator.. and Sigourny > Alien 4 times...

NOPE! Re:Bout damn time...

[Jedi Holocron]

There was NO Alien 3.

There was NO Alien 3.

There was NO Alien 3.

Re:First post for once????

[Anonymous Coward]

The Predators are like humans in that they use tools and technology to overcome their own weaknesses.

And that's why I voted for Predator for Governor of California.

I thought the predators hated the cold...

[DigitalSpyder]

And only hunted in the heat?

That was clearly stated in the second Predator movie and was consistent in just about most of the outstanding literature.

Don't tell me we've found plot holes before it's even begun!

Re:Likelihood of a good script

[Henry V .009]

Certainly as long as the american-dominated mass-market movie production aims all its movies at dumb-of-the-mill average americans, we're not going to be seeing better scripts from them.

Oh, it's far worse than that. America has begun to dumb its movies down for foreign audiences which make up a large portion of sales nowadays. Wit, and other things that don't subtitle well, are being traded for explosions.

Nightmare slime logistics.

[Basehart]

How does the makeup crew on a movie like this stop from getting the different types of slime all mixed up?

The Alien slime is classic. Super viscous. Whereas the Predator slime is more saliva like.

I'm looking forward to seeing some awesome slimework whatever happens.
