A first look at the upcoming sequel, ALIENS VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM, has appeared online courtesy of IGN Movies. This is the follow up the 2004 film from Fox that pitted the two sci-fi icons in combat while humans tried to get out of the way. The sequel leaves the frozen tundra and has the two monsters doing battle in the midwest US somewhere around Colorado. There have been rumors that this will be a darker feature film, a Rated-R release in contrast to the 2004 PG-13 version. This sequel is getting directed by brothers Colin & Gregor Strause. It stars David Paetkau, John Ortiz, Johnny Lewis, Reiko Aylesworth, Sam Trammell, Shareeka Epps and Steven Pasquale.

Well, I don't think you can get much worse than AvP so who knows...maybe, just maybe this will be ok.

It'd be great if they bought Giger in to design the Predalien. Given the first AvP's utter lack of respect for the franchise, however, I'm guessing they won't.

Sweeeet pic... but it doesn't give me a lot of hope.....
In this one, the first time the Preds and Aliens meet up and the shit hits the fan, "Why Can't We be Friends" should be playing in the background...

I forgot how bad the first one was until FX had it on last night. This series is the perfect example that not all comic book ideas will work well outside the medium. It didn't help that Anderson was gievn the task of making a AvP movie either (boy, does he suck).

Fox should have left this idea alone and focused on getting Alien and Predator back up on their own feet with their own movies.

While I agree that AvP was not a great movie, I don't blame Anderson totally. The studio wanted a pg-13 movie to entice a younger crowd. Anderson is at his best when he can do what he wants, ie, Event Horizon and Residnt Evil. I hope the ygive him that for Death Race. I hope this one gets it right. If it is true, I am digging the fact it takes place in Colorado.

I know I am might the prob one of the few that says this. But I actually liked AVP and cant wait for part 2 to come out. I really like Paul W.S andersons directing skills and he always does a enjoyable movie for me. Granted hes not the best director, but he does the job enough to please ppl for good popcorn fun movies. And yes I really want to see a good deathrace movie, but please oh pleaseeeeeeeeeeee dont make it PG13 it has to be rated R. And I will be in the movie theaters for AVP2 and Deathrace. And another thing too Resident Evil 3 look off the hook and even looks better then 1 and 2. Cant waittttttttttt. yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I was really diggin' Event Horizon... and then there was the cross-nude-mutilation body shots really made me queeze... but I'm pretty sure that was the idea: the @#$% on that ship was ^%#$ed up!

i found AVP enjoyable. I didn't see it in the theatres. Waited for DVD release before i watched it. I found it enjoyable. Alot better story movie than i expected. I don't know if it follows the "mythology" of the aliens or predators...and i don't care. Thought the movie was pretty well done for what it was and what it was dealing with. Looking forward to seeing a sequel...agian...on DVD.

I'm with xpaladin. Definitely not a great film, certainly not as good as most of the respective features, but it was still worth a view. The story was about as much as you can expect to cram in for a 90 min shoot em up, but the fact it was a PG-13 flick really did take away from it.

AvP 1 was horrid, and the "awe...it's a cutesy-wootsy PredAlien!" was the worst.

Changing everybody involved with the sequel is a good start, but did this movie even really need to get made? I think the likeliest outcome is that it just drags both the Aliens and Predator franchises further into the camp category, and makes a genuine revival of either less likely.
