New Photo Of "Predalien" Hits The Net

A new photo and interview from the movie "Aliens vs Predator: Requiem" has made it on line courtesy of USA Today, and it looks like a Predator had a run in with a face hugger. The "Predalien" is a hybrid of both Alien and Predator, and it looks kick ass. "Aliens vs Predator: Requiem" opens on Christmas Day 2007.

So the brothers plan to bring the new film back to its roots — namely, Ridley Scott's 1979 classic, Alien.

"That movie was dark. That movie used a lot of rain," Colin says. "And that movie was scary. We want it more like the classic early Alien and Predator movies we grew up on. There's a real history to these characters," says Colin, 31. "People grew up with these characters when it was a serious franchise. We want to make it just as serious and dark as the originals."

That means cutting back on computer-generated effects. In the first two Alien films, Scott and Cameron had six alien outfits. For this AVP, the brothers have just 12.

"You're not going to see 50 digital creatures running around," Greg says. "We want to bring the franchise back to basics. That's what made them so frightening in the first place."

Sounds like the brothers might have a good one on their hands. [Mania]

New Aliens vs Predator: Requiem Trailer Hits The Net

A new trailer for the upcoming movie 'Aliens vs Predator: Requiem' has hit the net courtesy of IGN Movies. I have to admit that seeing this trailer, it has given me hope that this one won't be a steaming pile of crap. Who ever cut the scenes together, must have found the most bloody action filled parts of the film and wrapped them up for us.

Oh..... And the Christmas music was a nice touch.

Newest 'Aliens vs Predator: Requiem' Hits The Net

A new international trailer has made its way on-line for 'Aliens vs Predator: Requiem', and by the population countdown, it looks like this one is going to have a high body count. Directed by the brothers Colin & Greg Strause, the flick will hit theaters on Christmas day 2007.

Hit the cut for the trailer.

Directors Talk 'Aliens vs Predator: Requiem'

For people who absolutely hated the last 'Aliens vs Predator' movie (including myself), there might be good news coming from an interview with the directors of the sequel 'Aliens vs Predator: Requiem'. Colin and Greg Strause even take a few shots at the last movie that disappointed fans. But I must warn you now, there are spoilers in this, so if you don't want to know anything about the movie stop now:

"We really have to prove to the fans," added his brother Colin, "that this movie's gonna be very different from the last one."

"We wanted to [go R-rated] with it," added Colin, who not only wears the same sunglasses as his 1-year-older brother, but even orders his burger the same way. "I mean, we chest-burst a little kid!"

"Yeah, he dies," Greg confirmed of the ill-fated child. "Onscreen, and very painfully. It's pretty f---ed up, but breaking some of the rules is a good thing here."

Given the go-ahead to make their hard-R flick, the Brothers Strause are steering clear of the PG-13 traps that rendered their predecessor so despised that an "AVP" podcast recently declared, "The only thing [director] Paul [W.S.] Anderson did correctly was bring people closer together in their community hatred of him."

Well I'm a little more hopeful about this movie now.
We shall see.
