I honestly can’t remember there EVER being an upcoming film that had so many people pre-bashing it… even just the idea of it… that then had such a total turn around in perception after the first trailer came out. Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem dare I say didn’t have a single supporter that I am aware of until the first trailer came online. Seriously, I don’t remember reading one article or website stating “I can’t wait for AVP2”.
And then suddenly… BAM! The first trailer came out filled with action and crazy Alien on Predator violence with lots of those pesky humans getting offed who were unfortunate enough to get in the way… and suddenly there is a buzz about the film.
Well anyway, a little piece of info is shooting around that in Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem, we are actually going to see the home world of the . The guys over at ShockTillYouDrop give the following:
Says our source, the Strause brothers – who have already impressed the hell out of us with an action-packed trailer loaded with grue – will give fans a long-awaited look at the home world of the Predator species. So, we sat on this info for the afternoon weighing the validity of this information until Fangoria posted this story where co-director Greg Strause teases, “There’s lots of stuff still unseen — complete scenes that are not in the trailer,” then, “A new world perhaps…”
On the one hand this is pretty exciting. Through all the film versions we’ve never really got a glimpse of the Predator culture, so it would be cool to see that. HOWEVER… on the other hand there is something special about mystery. Knowing next to nothing about the Predators is one of the things that makes them so interesting. Will showing their home world ruin that mystery? I don’t know, it’s too hard to say. What do you think? Good idea or bad idea to show the Predator home world?
