    Saw the HD trailer of this and it looks vastly superior to AvP.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Yes, and bird flu is vastly superior to the ebola virus but that doesn't mean you should try and catch it.

    I am just hoping that some brilliant new, young Ridley Scott or James Cameron is somewhere thinking "Everything after Aliens was a mistake, I want to make a film that either continues the story of those characters or is just set in a universe where nothing those sucky films dreamt up ever happened. Oh, and I wonder if anyone else has actually seen Predator recently and realised, like me, just how awful it was and how pathetic an enemy the Predator was (killed by a log for crying out loud)."

    Predalien ... it almost looks as bad as that walking dog turd at the end of Resurrection.

    Re: Predalien rears its ugly head

    what i want to know is whether it will be able to cloak and sneek up on people, and then vomit plasma balls like the predator gun does and melt them, although that last bit would ruin it completely for being to unrealistic,

    anyway, cloaked aliens...
    and would they have green acid blood?

    Re: Predalien rears its ugly head

    WOW, WOW, WOW, WOW.....as soon as this comes out my ass is down the cinema!

    I thought I caught an extremely short glimpse of a pred-alien in the trailer, but this is the first confirmed report that I have personally read about them being in the film.

    I also like the fact that they are cutting the CGI down. It's used far too much in modern films. I understand that some "need" it to pull the film off successfully, but for something like this, cutting it down should be better. Don't get me wrong though, I love CGI and find it extremely fascinating (if a film is crap but the CGI is astounding it will actually buy it just to appreciate the CGI) , but if something can be pulled off without using it then use that other method.

    As for Alien 5, there was talk of it and a Predator 3 happening after they had done a bit of AVP; don't know where that is going now though.

    Sweet. Given the seemingly darker tone, I was actually wondering whether they would pick it up from the end of AvP.

    i doubt it, at least they couldn't in the computer game... they were just uber aliens that couldn't headbite.

    hmm... now i want to play AVP2:PH again!

    LOL that first paragraph sounds like myself. Alien and Aliens are the 2 most watched DVD's in my collection. I do have the others but they are an abomination towards the first two and even Ms Ryder being in one of them doesn't compensate for the fact that they are as RUBBISH as the besitakas defense against Liverpool the other night.

    As for the predalien.... I dunno it actually looks pretty good for a hybrid

    I'm quite looking forward to the new one. Chances are it won't be close to the original Alien movies but thats not to say it'll be bad.

    Best case scenario, they really do take it back to basics, you're terrified throughout the movie and it's awesome. Worst case scenario, lots of action, lots of violence, a few bad jokes and a fun night at the cinema.
