The sequel to Alien vs. Predator is happening and will most likely center on a battle in our world, 20th Century Fox Film Co-Chairman Tom Rothman told SCI FI Wire at the Saturn Awards in Los Angeles.
"We will do another one of those for sure. It was a big success," Rothman said in an interview before he received a Life Career Award from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.
"In the new Alien vs. Predator they will finally actually really come to our world," said Rothman. The previous Alien and Predator movies took place in the future, and Alien vs. Predator took place in a remote Antarctic location, though in modern times. The new film could bridge the gap between all the movies and the two horror film franchises, Rothman said.
"It's likely that we will bridge the gap, and the beginning of that will be setting it in our contemporary universe," said Rothman. He laughed when the characters were likened to terrorists. "They were always terrorists, yes, but only metaphorically," he said.
Idiot. "Predator 2" took place in 1997. Although it was filmed in 1990, that's hardly the "future" in which "Alien" took place in. All this jumbling of timelines is going to bite them in the ass, just like "Freddy vs Jason", nobody knowing when the hell it takes place.
The first movie was a "big success" in terms of earnings, and honestly, overseas is what made it big. That doesn't mean the movie was horribly flawed. I liked it, but the general consensus is that it sucked, and there's been backlash along with it.
I don't know who this Rothman character is personally. I'm a huge Sci Fi fan and never heard of him before this post. He's a co-chair suit at FOX? Fantastic. What has he written, directed, or produced? What Sci Fi franchises and characters did he birth?
Well i think the concept of the predator and alien alone have miles of potential. Shit, when i first heard the idea of andersons travesty (AvP) i was floored, then i saw the final product . These kinds of movies have such great potential. These are ass kickin sci-fi icons that encompass action, horror, suspense, and sci-fi all in one movie. Every attempt at a predator or alien movie should be a blockbuster to all action and sci fi fans alike. I think the only way this could possibly work is to break all ties of the other movies. Forget they even exist and make your own flick with plenty of aliens and predators this time. HOwever, you know CGI is going to pollute the screen with that many aliens, and that will only turn out to be shit in the end. any movie connected with aliens versus predator is going to be shit. I diddnt think it made that much money either. I thought it just made back what it cost and a little more.
CGI aliens look like shit and totally un believable.

Well i disagree with ragesremorse because we never saw what happened to the alien that was on the Predator ship and remember what that guy said? He said that the aliens could not get to the surface and waht happened one got to the surface. So i think they should make a AVP 2!!!
I actually liked AvP........it's nothing great but I found it to be a decent little popcorn flick. They should just leave it alone........the ending of AvP did kind of bridge the gap between series and timeline as it left the audience with the option that the mysterious ship discovered in Alien could have been that of the predators.
nope, those are called pilots, and the skeleton in the movie alien looked more giant human than pred.
and they have to be careful when the use people in suits, cos then it would look like the old godzilla movies.

The pilot of the alien ship in the original movie has no correlation to the Alien except that the species on the ship had collected alien eggs and the pilot of the ship got itself impregnated by an alien. which later caused the ship to crash when the alien burst out of the pilots chest.

If they continue with the "Aliens and Predators on Earth running around freely maining and killing" motiff then how are we to believe that in the future that "Alien" and the subsequent movies took place in a world that only the company knew about the Aliens....?
Why would the Military of the future be so clueless about the existance of the two factions if they were known to us through loads of movies of them clashing on Earth...?
Agreed. Maybe they will barely reach the surface and the Predators use their bombs to blow up any evidence of such a thing. Its weak, I know, but it could be pulled off. But as you just pointed out, it doesn't seem right to bring them to the city and have nobody know in the future. I say just let the battle take place in the future. I've always liked the set up of the Alien movies anyway, just let it take place on a ship like one of those. Hopefully, we'll finally get to see an alien that was hosted by a predator fight.
