I’ll come out and say that I haven’t seen Alien vs Predator, but from the comments I’ve seen I wouldn’t have paid cinema ticket money to go and see it. For those of you who were one of the ones who voiced their negativity at the movie, please feel free to speak up now, because they’re doing it again.
A story in Rope of Silicon from SciFi Wire has the awful warning:
Word from [20th Century Fox Film Co-Chairman Tom] Rothman is that Alien vs. Predator II is a go as Rothman tells SCI FI Wire, “We will do another one of those for sure. It was a big success… In the new Alien vs. Predator they will finally actually really come to our world.”
Rothman went on to say that this new film could bridge the gap between all the movies and the two horror film franchises… “It’s likely that we will bridge the gap, and the beginning of that will be setting it in our contemporary universe… They were always terrorists, yes, but only metaphorically.”
Is it a good idea? Is it a bad idea? What could Rothman mean about bridging the gap, how could they do that?
