ALIEN and PREDATOR Just Will Not Die
You just can't kill a good franchise. Heck, you can't even kill a bad franchise.
The boys over at Moviehole.net happened across some cool info concerning sequels in the Alien and Predator franchises that are sure to tickle the fancy of AVP lovers and haters alike as it appears an AVP 2 is not in the cards rather franchise extensions instead. It seems impossible that an AVP 2 would not occur considering the ending, but we will have to wait and see, as for what Moviehole came across… continue reading.
Talking to an insider at FOX in Century City a couple of days back , I heard that there's high hopes for everything Alien and Predator – what with the pleasing B.O figures for Alien vs. Predator and all… the film has made quite a packet over the past couple of weeks, leaving FOX with a fat smile on their face and everyone who has got an idea for a sequel, spin-off or stand-alone movie very, very optimistic, if not giddy with possibility.
The plan is – new stand-alone Predator movies, new stand-alone Alien movies. No sequel to AvP at the moment. If anything, AvP was a way of a re-introducing these characters so that there could be new stand-alone films in their respective series. Never was it a plan to do a series of AvP movies.
One Predator 3 pitch that's been doing the rounds sounds stellar. It's set in snowy New York, and re-introduces Arnold Schwarzenegger's character, Dutch. You'd think the possibility of this one happening hinders on whether Schwarzenegger returns to the Governors chair but not necessarily, word is they think they could easily have someone else play the character from here on in. They picture 'Dutch' as being this big 'Riddick/Snake Plissken' esque character that will inevitably be more of a draw card than the monster itself.
The script's apparently… leaves it open for a Predator 4 – which is rumored to feature a female rogue.
As for Alien, the latest is that it'll be a Ridley Scott – Sigourney Weaver re-team. Talk is underway, but it's still early days.
