Aliens vs Predator: Requiem..

20th Century Fox has finally settled on a title for the upcoming Alien vs Predator sequel with, Alien vs Predator: Requiem.. This very first trailer release is an R - Rated red band trailer, meaning we’ve already got an excess of gorey R - rated footage.. Part of what made the first one so bad was the PG - 13 rating it got slapped with and the lack of violence.. And you know what, DAMN this looks awesome! The violence even in this trailer was enough to get me excited, what about you?

The film is directed by brothers Greg and Colin Strause, two highly experienced visual effects guys and first time directors.. Written by Shane Salerno and starring David Paetkau, John Ortiz, Johnny Lewis, Reiko Aylesworth, Sam Trammell, Shareeka Epps and Steven Pasquale..

Warring alien and predator races descend on a small town, where unsuspecting residents must band together for any chance of survival..

Though officially posted in perfect high quality at Ign.com, the trailer turned out to have leaked on YouTube prior to its submission on the site.. Running about two minutes, it contains handfuls of no cut - away shots of gore while confirming the new Predator ” whip ” weapon as well as the return of the original Predator vision and wristblades.. If you watch closely you can see a glimpse of the Alien / Predator hybrid..

Apart from the gory trailer, 20th Century Fox as the studio producing the action sci - fi thriller has also delightfully brought to live the official site for the flick.. I recommend watching the trailer there too as it is the best quality plus the official site will give you the feel for it too.. Alien vs Predator: Requiem will definitely be making up to the fans for Alien vs Predator.. ” Tomorrow’s Entertainment ” has learnt from a reliable source, which we believe to be true but can’t say for sure, that we will finally get to see the Predator’s homeworld.. Which I am looking forward to seeing..

Alien vs Predator - Requiem directors Greg and Colin Strause have gone on the record with stunning candor about their sequel to Paul W.S. Anderson’s Alien vs. Predator..

Colin told MTV.com:

“The only thing Paul Anderson did correctly was bring people closer together in their community hatred of him. …I don’t think anyone wanted us to talk to him,” adding, “This movie works even if you didn’t see [the first AvP].”

“The studio knew that, although the last movie made a lot of money, it didn’t really resonate solidly with the fans,” Greg said. “To get the same people back into the theater a second time, it was gonna be a bit of an uphill battle.”

Thus, the sequel will be rated R rather than PG - 13 like its predecessor.. One of the highlights of the tougher and gorier AvP - R will be The Predalien, an Alien / Predator hybrid.. ( There will be no Alien queen in this one..)

“The Predalien wants to hunt and reproduce,” said Colin. His brother Greg explained, “The main concept is that a Predalien should still be primarily Alien [with] very strong Alien features but with Predator mandibles and Predator dreadlocks. It walks a little more upright than a normal Alien does, but it also has the tail. It uses that tail quite a bit, and it’s got a much bigger tail than a normal Alien.”

Alien vs Predator: Requiem will be at war in a theater near you from the 25th December 2007..
