Alien vs. Predator Movie Trailer Available

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the silver-screen-comics dept.

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."

  1. What a lousy trailer... by SexyKellyOsbourne · · Score: 5, Interesting
    However, there is a two-video set at Fileplanet that does more than show close-ups of Alien and Predator skin. In it, there's an interview with the creator, as well as some concept art, detailing the story.

    If you don't feel like downloading it, it takes place in 2004 in Antarctica, where scientists and men with guns find a pyramid built by predators and run into teenage predators fighting aliens in a manhood ritual.

    Hey, I bought one too, and it was this game that made it worth it.

    An absolutely terrifying and wonderous game. Possibly the most brilliant game I've ever played.

    FWIW

  3. Hot, Heat, Humid by shatfield · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What part of the 3 H's don't the director/writers understand? The Predator hunts when it is very very hot -- that was the underlying theme of the first 2 movies. They need heat, possibly because they are reptilian/cold blooded. Put them in the arctic, and you take them out of their natural hunting environmental conditions, and quite possibly kill them like a Vampire in the desert at high noon.

    That problem aside, I think everyone should watch the featurette. It's pretty cool.

    Bleaugh. I'm getting sick of remakes, director's cuts, re-issues, re-sequalizations, re-this and-re-that and "x versus y" algorithms in movies that mask the simple fact that no new ideas are surfacing in Hollywood. I mean alien vs. predator makes for an okay comic book but seriously, could we please get some new ideas off the ground? How about a new monster franchiese, or science-fiction franchise, or even a new slasher movie cult icon.

    Pretty soon we'll have a movie version of every damn superhero ever sketched up. We'll soon have a "freedy vs. jason vs. mike meyers" in all probablity. Hollywood will cough out a few more Dr. Seuss movie-versions before that horse is beaten to death.

    Every movie that soaks up its production costs with revenue gets a sequel. I want something new. No more sequels. No more director's cut or cgi effects thrown in for good measure and then re-issued (like "Alien" and "ET".)

    Is rehashes of old material the only safe bet anymore in Hollywood?
