So Paul Anderson, the director of 1994's banned movie "Shopping" about ram-raiding theives and then followed by Mortal Kombat, Soldier, Event Horizon and more recently Resident Evil is working on the film adaptation of the massively popular comic book series Alien vs. Predator.
Trailers and featurette's are out there, and although showing a couple of dark, seemingly cool looking scenes still leave a fear in my stomache that it may be a huge let down.
Predator 1 was great, 2 was over the top but we allowed allowed it because of 'el scoorrrpiooo' and I kinda disregarded the last Alien movie as a jokey spin-off, so the whole franchise is really in a need of a positive boost.
Hmmm...Set in the early 21st century on Earth, Charles Weyland, an industrialist billionaire, leads an archaeological expedition in Antartica. Using thermal imaging satellites, Weyland believes to have discovered the ruins of an ancient pyramid temple that predates the Egyptian and Aztec pyramids buried under the ice. Once inside, the team finds the remains of humans with holes in the rib cage and the remains of facehuggers, meaning that the possibility of the temple being uninhabited is very unlikely. To make matters worse, five teenage Predators are coming to the temple to perform a coming-of-age ritual that involves fighting to the death with the aliens. Soon, it becomes clear that only one species is getting out alive.
