According to horror news website ShockTilYouDrop Aliens vs Predator 3 is going to be made. Here's a quote from the site:

"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."
Just shoot me right now. Please.



Haven't they tortured us enough?

Between the weak Alien vs Predator and the heinous creation that was Aliens vs Predator: Requiem I had truly hoped this franchise was dead. Ah, but where there's even a meager amount of money to be made, a movie franchise will never die (can you say "Freddy" or "Jason"?).

It only made $129 million worldwide, and overseas crowds must have liked it more than folks in the U.S. because here it only earned $42 million. In case you don't know, for a movie like this that is WEAK. They must have made it on the cheap for it to have shown a profit. First time directors and no name actors probably contributed to that.

I guess the DVD release of the movie is right around the corner and they're anticipating good sales on that. No doubt they'll have an "unrated" version... When is it coming out? Who cares!

I don't think there is a snowball's chance in Hell that this movie could possibly be good at all, but I'm sure they'll come up with some spin or director that will once again fan the flames of hope in fans of both franchises. Like a girl you have a crush on that keeps saying she'll go out with you and then cancels at the last minute, I'm sure that the next film will leave us beaten and disappointed. Again.

Hey, maybe they can get Brett Ratner to direct it, wouldn't that be cool?!

It has been rumored for years that there will be a Predator 3. John McTiernan, the director of Predator, was rumored to be in talks with 20th Century Fox in 2005 but little announcements have been made since. Prior to Arnold Schwarzenegger becoming the Governor of California, he was the most popular choice to return to the Predator series to reprise his role as Dutch. The next person in the cast spotlight was World Wrestling Federation wrestler The Rock who would have been cast in the role of Dutch. In September 2003, The Rock denied his any involvement in Predator 3, although by that December, he claimed he was "unsure" about his involvement in the film. In 2005, another wrestler, John Cena, was also rumored to be involved in an installment of Predator, this one allegedly a remake of the original.

For years, rumors claiming it a sequel, prequel, remake and even a reboot of the franchise have surfaced. What is known for certain of a Predator 3 is that three scripts of the film have been written. One script written by Sam Park is entitled Predator 3: The Deadlier of the Species and features Arnold Schwarzenegger's character, Dutch, in New York City during a blizzard. A yautja comes to the city and tracks down Dutch in the city and attempts to kill him. Another script, written by Robert Rodriguez, is entitled Predators and is set on a 17th century ship where a yautja stalks the crewmen who's greatest means of fighting lie in their inferior weaponry. Rodriguez spoke about the Predators script during an interview at the beginning of 2004, revealing it having been written in 1997 following the success of his 1995 film Desperado. 20th Century Fox allegedly rejected the script because the budget would have been too high, Rodriguez stating it would have been roughly around $150,000,000. A third and as yet final script is entitled The Zoo, which reprises both Dutch and Harrigan from Predator and Predator 2 respectively, captured and brought to the yautja's homeworld, as they are the only humans capable of besting yautja hunters. There they are forced to fight in a gladiator-styled arena. While only a rumor unlike the former three storylines, a possible forth script was written which pits American marines on the yautja homeworld in an effort to stop a yautja invasion of Earth. This plot would seem non-canonical of yautja however, as their cultural expressions of honor and sportsmanship and demonstrations of unwillingness to stalk weak or unarmed opponents should reflect no desire in them to invade another species' planet. This fourth storyline is only a rumor as unlike the former three, no physical script or its writer have been formally credited to.
