MTV News has posted a very in-depth interview with "Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem" directors Greg and Colin Strause, one filled with lots of spoilers and talk of a possible sequel.

 

Most interesting is that the pair distance themselves from the original AVP - "The studio knew that, although the last movie made a lot of money, it didn't really resonate solidly with the fans. To get the same people back into the theater a second time, it was gonna be a bit of an uphill battle." says Greg.

 

Colin confirms that neither he or his brother met with AVP director Paul Anderson - "I don't think anyone wanted us to talk to him. This movie works even if you didn't see [Anderson's]... We really have to prove to the fans that this movie's gonna be very different from the last one."

 

The pair also talk a lot about the R-rating, confirming a kid painfully and graphically dies onscreen via a chest burster alien. The Predalien hybrid kills a lot of Predators early in the film, and essentially serves as the 'Alien Queen' in this entry.

 

As for a sequel? "I'd like to do another one but I'd like to do it in space. The next one either has to be more of the bridge after this and before 'Alien,' or you could do something after 'Aliens. We have a pretty finite ending to this, but we have a cliffhanger per se; it's a setup" says Greg.

I've heard about this, from what i've heard, its supposed to be very true to the AVP storyline, that the first one butchered.

That said, I'm lookin forward to this. Anything with more aliens & predators are aweosme :P

i cant say anything here because my mom said "if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all"

 

Two things:

 

One, if you read this thread, then whether or not you're ready to admit it,you're interested in this film.

Second, the interview is designed to drum up hype. And for fans, it works. If they pull it off it will be a monster lover's paradise.

 

I stuck up for Transformers when Bay was taking heat for it, and I have a good feeling about this one.

I would definately watch this movie as long as they don't do another hack job as the previous one.  Here's hoping...

what? i thought AvP rocked! it was sooo good

 

 

 

 

hmm, i feel all dirty now
