Aliens vs. Predator 3 is “Certainly” a Go
Aliens vs. Predator 3 (2010) Movie, Sci-Fi Movie News — By Nix on March 10, 2008
You can’t keep a good Predator down. Or bad Aliens. Or both the humans running for their lives from said aliens and predator. Good news for fans of the series, because rumor has it that the third installment in the battlin’ aliens franchise is, in all likelihood, will happen over at 20th Century Fox. Or at least that’s the word according to a scooper who told Shock Til You Drop, a horror movie site, so I don’t know what they’re doing covering sci-fi, but I ain’t complain’.

An anonymous source over at 20th Century Fox got in touch with us over the weekend to relay the news another Aliens vs. Predator sequel is a “certainty” at this point. If you recall, the brothers Strause – who helmed the Christmas release Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem – stated Fox was going to take a “wait-and-see” approach to a third chapter, furthermore, that the story would have to continue in space (details). “AvP-R” grossed a worldwide total of $128.8 million; $41 million domestically. It hits DVD on April 15th (specs and art). No word yet if the Strause brothers will return to the franchise.
I guess $128 million, not including DVD sales, which should add a nice chunk of change to the final total, is good enough for a sequel. I still haven’t seen the second one, though…

how could anyone (directed to rusty) boo the alien vs predator films? Dude, you seriously need to consider going to a doctor.
What a fooking great idea, loved the idea of the stories pulling together, brings about the circle of confusion, and as they cross over into each story base i don’t really care if its about humans and predators or aliens and kittens, we watch the movies for the bad ass killing, great vision and kick ass aliens predators what ever is on screen, i would how ever love to see a movie where human get one back by getting to the predators home world and doing a little hunting….
all these ideas sound good, but the one thing that annoys me the most about all these crossovers and writers etc. is that they have a wealth of inspiration that they can tap into but none of them actually use it.
im talking yes, about the comic book adaptions.
if you wanted to integrate humans into the equasion without taking too much away from either franchise then i dont understand why no one considering penning avp: war (or its prequels) for a movie. that story alone would have given the predators a vast background for people to tap into.
they are even planning a predator reboot, which to me is a little senseless even though i want nothing more than some predator action. what they could have done as a sequel of sorts (and actually include arnold for a cameo *with purpose*) is pen Concrete Jungle, the story that involves Dutch’s brother being hunted and tormented by another of the predators clansmen who has seen the history between the other fallen warrior and dutch.
as for avp cross overs they really should look towards the original comic book crossovers, i would rather have had one of those than avp-r anyday. christ they could even have done lengthy version of the console adapted story of concrete jungle (ps2/xbox) – i’ve played through that story more than once and even to me that had solid ideas which could be turned into a movie.
flips sake, they have the nerve to throw money at game-to-movie adaptions and not care about messing them up (look at max payne for one, crime of the century imo) why not throw some money at solidify the meaning of the word classic in this new age of film ?
