All Is Not Well on the AvP Front …

avp.jpgIt’s never a good sign when a studio cancels the premiere of a film they’ve spent buckets of money promoting, but it happened this week. The film? Aliens Versus Predator. So if you were looking forward to footage of an Alien working its way down the red carpet, you’re out of luck. Now, there are only two reasons why something like this would happen.

Reason one, and this is the most common one: the film sucks so bad that the studio doesn’t want anybody to see it in advance so that negative word of mouth won’t have a chance to spoil the opening weekend business.

Reason two, and this is the excuse the studio is actually using: things are so incredibly disorganized that the director has missed his deadline and prints aren’t physically ready yet. That much disorder cannot possibly bode well for a film, and word is that not only are the final prints not ready but the final edit hasn’t even been completed, which raises the very real possibility that prints will not be ready on time for the film’s advertised release date.

With any luck this thing will suck so bad, and lose so much money, that nobody will ever let Anderson make a film again …
