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 ?

When I saw Resurrection, I was a bit disappointed that the aliens got a much lesser role than any other Alien-related film. But, when the Auriga crashed on Earth, I did ponder whether it might be possible for an Aliens: Earth War type follow-up. Afterall, if the facehuggers were able to survive and escape from the Predator ship in Requiem, why not a few surviving Xenomorphs from the destroyed Auriga?

Okay, I know, I know, when the Auriga crashed, its destruction wasted almost a complete hemisphere of Earth. But, even roaches can survive a nuclear blast. So, why not?

Lastly, let me say that njguy99, who wrote out his/her plot outline proposal for AVP3, it really sounds like a good idea. For the simple fact, we have already seen the pre-connections of Weyland-Yutani with both AVP and AVP-R. But, to bring in the Space Jockeys, now that would be great, since they play an intrical part of the Aliens comics. But, I am not really sure I agree with continuing after Resurrection, because the United Systems Military seemed more of a bad joke compared to Weyland-Yutani. If anything, I would not mind a direct prequel to the first Alien, which ties all the films, thus far, together. And, if they want to create AVP4, which takes place after Resurrection, I say go for it. It would definitely be a great way to tie things up and make it all full circle.

I guess what I am trying to say is, AVP3 should have the Space Jockeys in it. And, assuming that it is a direct connection to Alien, then we will not only learn of where the SJs came from, but also their full connection to the Xenomorph. And, while the SJs are duking it out with the Preds and manipulating the humans of Weyland-Yutani, the film could end or near end with the crashing of the derelict on what would be later known as LV-426.

To be fair though to njguy99’s idea, like I said, I like it. And, it certainly would be a great ending that would wrap up the Alien universe altogether, since we pretty much know that- from books and comics- the Xenomorph are all but extinct anyway. So, let’s use your idea, njguy99, for AVP4. What do you say?
