Casting News on Aliens Vs Predator 2

The debates have waged near wars as far back as the playground. Aliens Vs Predator, who will win in a fight. There are too many “what if”s that make the debate go on for ever, but aside from a Dark Horse comic series, the two shall never meet, so speculations grew. The insane amount of publicity about the Aliens VS Predator movie was to put an end to the debate and be the official canon as to who might win! Now they are doing a sequel. A rematch.

Cinematical reports:

Variety reports that Alien vs. Predator 2, which begins filming next week in Vancouver, British Columbia finally has its lead actors. Reiko Aylesworth (who played Michelle Dessler on the Fox series 24) and Steven Pasquale (star of FX’s Rescue Me) will be squaring off against the acid-blooded facehuggers and the lobster-faced hunters from the stars. Brothers Greg and Colin Strause, who share an impressive resume as special effects artists, will direct from a script by Shane Salerno. John Davis and Robbie Brenner are producing through Davis Entertainment.

So in a movie called Aliens Vs Predator, or its sequel, how is it even important to announce its “stars”

Lets be clear about this. The stars will be the Aliens and the Predator. Im sure Aylesworth and Pasquale will offer some human connection to the film, like the one girl from the first movie who rose above her peers. But really, this movie is about a pile of Aliens throwing it down with a Predator. I dont even know WHY there are people in this movie.

So will this be a sequel to the events of AvP, or will this be another encounter in another time? Now that the two are in the same Universe it makes sense that this was not the only time the two races crossed paths.

The sequel is being penned by Armageddon writer Shane Salerno, and I did enjoy that a fair bit. Not everyone agrees with that, but it was a fun movie with a decent fluffy story and a lot of action and great characters. If AvP2 is like that, I will watch it again and again.
