Steven Pasquale Talks 'Alien Vs. Predator 2'

“[We’re] trying to get back to the basics [with] the suspense and the gore,” actor Steven Pasquale told MTV News, revealing that “AVP2’ will be considerably scarier than its predecessor. “I think it’s going to be really fun. [Directors] Colin and Greg Strause really know what they’re doing in terms of a sort of true-blue monster movie.”

Pasquale will tackle the role of Dallas — not to be confused with Tom Skerritt’s Dallas from the original “Alien” movie — a character caught in the middle of a battle between the two iconic extraterrestrial villains. “[He’s] our convict who returns home to his small town in Colorado to find aliens and predators,” he said. “Haven’t we always wondered what would happen if they made it to Earth? [Well] now they have, and drama ensues. It’s more about survival. Clearly we don’t know what the hell these things are, so me and my little brother and a couple of the other main characters are trying to just get out of town with everything intact, and that’s the journey rather than trying to sort of conquer the invincible monsters.”
