The first Alien vs. Predator was pretty universally despised as a watered down combination of two decent franchises. Somehow the follow up, AvP: Requiem managed to get its R rating back and still put out a worse film. I guess there’s no pleasing fans when ultimately your goal is just to cash in on the success of franchises that pretty much reached the end of their race a decade or two ago.
You would think that with the dwindling success of the first two AvP movies Fox would go ahead and call it quits. You might think that, but you’d be wrong. According to Shock Till You Drop, an anonymous source at Fox has stated a third AvP movie is pretty much a “certainty” now.
I guess this news shouldn’t be a complete and total surprise. The Strause brothers, who helmed AvP-R, said they were leaving the door open for the franchise to continue, returning the beloved alien races back to outer space. I just figured those box office reports would lead Fox’s “wait and see” approach for the sequel closer to a “no” than what we’re hearing.
There’s no word is anyone from the previous chapters would be returning, just that a third picture is pretty much expected at this point. I guess it doesn’t matter who they get attached to the picture, because at this point nothing short of James Cameron is going to save the franchise from mediocrity.

out of the two films i feel the first was the best, but i will admit when i seen them both for the first time i thought they were rubbish, but they grew on me after i got the dvds. there are worst films out their folks, lake placid 1 and 2 , jaws 3 and four. i personally think the avps r better than alien 3 and 4. fox finish off the trilogy.
Would it be too much to have people incapable of allowing others their enjoyment to crawl back into the hole they crawled out of?
How about those of you who cant make an intelligent comment without demonstrating your own ignorance through decrying another's opinion shut the hell up?
Would that be too much to ask?
How about you learn to let people appreciate something they enjoy, instead of walking all over it. This isn't high Art, this is movie magic. Get a bloody clue!
Ever seen a romance do $200 million in the box office?
I can't beleive the stupidity of you people! Those movies were absolutely abysmal! (Particularily the second.) You have to be six year olds! I am actually feeling ashamed for you guys. Someone shoot the Strause Bros so they can't make another movie PLEASE!
I think that it was a kick ass movie and I loved every minute of it. I can not wait until another. I would like to say that the producers have gotten closer to the comic book standards. They have shown the predator in the same style as the comics. Staying true the comic books is a must.
THE BROTHERS DID A GREAT JOB... THEY CRAMMED MANY KEY IDEAS INTO THE SEQUEL AND IT WASN'T OVER- CROWDED... GOOD STORY... GOOD CREATURE EFFECTS, BATTLES, AND GREAT ENDING... I THINK IT WOULD BE AWESOME TO HAVE THEM AT THE HELM OF THE 3RD... IF THEY DO IT. IT WAS SMART TO MENTION YUTANI AT THE END OF THE FILM AND IT WAS NO SUPRISE TO ME WHAT SO EVER THAT THE DIRECTORS WERE HUGE FANS OF BOTH ALIEN AND PREDATOR FRANCHISE... KEEP GOING! THE CONTINUATION IN SPACE IS A WICKED IDEA... BUT I'LL SAY THEY SHOULD'NT BE AFRAID OF INTORDUCING SOMETHING REALLY NEW LIKE ANOTHER PLANET... SOMETHING WITH GREEN SKY OR DIFFERENT CREATURES ON IT TO HOST NEW ALIENS. I FOUND THE THE PRDATOR HOMEWORLD WAS JUST A LITTLE TOO SHORT. BE PROUD OF YOUR ORIGIONALITTY!!!
THE NEW ALIEN BREEDING CYCLE WAS GREAT BECAUSE WE HAVE NEVER SEEN A YOUNG QUEEN BEFORE... AND THE PREDATORS NEW TOYS WERE GREAT.
KEEP ON ROCKING BROTHAS!!!
If anyone has played the avp games then that is what they should base the movie on especially avp 2, it is a great game with an aweso,e story line which involves predators, aliens and humans, but the humans are not so useless,,
i like the cross over, but a good old fashion predator wold be good also! just have some heart well making the flims becase there are a lot of fans out there. remember is an art!
