Ladies and Gentlemen - I now present to you the link the Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.I just watched this. This is what I thought I was getting with the first pairing of these great movie monsters. Let's just say, there's a good reason this isn't called Part II.
This is R. You have to register your age just to watch the trailer. There's dirty, naughty words and head shots in the trailer. The TRAILER. Now, it's as if someone finally figured it out. The PG-13 is gone. It's chest has exploded. I for one am actually excited about this and applaud the filmmakers for 'getting' the material.
If the first two Alien pictures were adult fare, and Predator skinned people alive and had dripping, bloodied skulls - why on God's Earth would you make a PG-13 movie pairing the two? And, on top of it all, make a silly underground pyramid in Antarctica with some cockamamie story involving humanity and the earth? You work endless years securing the rights to two of the modern era's greatest movie monsters since Dracula and Frankenstein - Freddy and Jason - Dean and Martin. You have space, Space marines with James Cameron's pulse rifles, Predators, and Aliens without Rippley = all potential. And they put that first one out... and thud. What a disappointment.
My guess is that Requiem was the first script submitted, and what actually came out was one produced by 'notes' from some suit. A suit long since fired and replaced about three times.
Oh, another cool thing I want to point out, is that on the AvP:R homepage, the cursor is a Predator laser site for the cannon - that's rockin' nerdy cool.
