You said you wanted some opinions. I'm not calling you stupid. I agree with you that the last to sucked. But you have to think, most of the stuff your coming up with has alrealdy been done. I think the government would have a hard time capturing both the aliens and predators. They can't even contain the aliens from past films. Your imagination is out there(In a good way). You just need a better angle. I would take JA advice.

A AVP remake / reboot, could be could. But your need a much stronger story than that. Watch the films and take notes.
Be more creative as well, remember both of these creatures are from different worlds and do the research and stuff watch the extras on the Special edition dvds.
Also read the comics, google search 'Isohunt' and on Isohunt search 'Aliens Vs Perdator' or 'AVP' and you should get the comics, and make sure you have to programs downloaded in your comp a program called Utorrent and CDisplay, just google search them.
Good luck

No offense, but that still sounds pretty lame. He wasn't in the second one. You should reference from Aliens. Do an Aliens vs Predator. Reference from Aliens (the second movie) by bringing in the marines.

Raped, that's what they were doing in the first one. In which there ordered to rescue a presidential cabinet minister kidnapped by guerrilla forces in Val Verde. They also run up on a downed helicopter with Army Special Forces. They were unaware they were stalked by a predator. And 2 just plain sucked. Using Danny Glover as the main character. In which the Columbians and the Jamaicans were at war. They were also being killed off by the predator. You have to come up with a better plot then that.

No, it wasn't. majority of the film was film in the U.K, it was also filmed in the U.S, i think Chicago & Illnois (i think that's how you spell it).
Not sure if they filmed in Hong Kong for one sequence as well, i know they were but then i remember reading about something that stopped them doing the sequence there

The biggest experience i've had was an uncredited runner for the UK set of TDK, which locations varied from Battersea, Bedfordshire, Surrey, Leeds, West End London, Clerkenwell, Liverpool, Piccadilly Circus and the University College of London & Westminster

J.A. Ottley... You're a f*cking JOKE. I googled your name and searched your name on IMDB and NOTHING!!! It's okay to post your opinion and sh*t on this site...but to claim to be something you're obviously not is just f*cking weak-knee'd.
I bet if I asked if you were a pole-smokin' f*ggot, you'd say no. Right.....?

LMAO actually Oscar is one of my favourite Sly movies, i liked it because it was different. It wasn't about sly going around blasting the sh*t out of people. It was a comedy film with an element of the gangster genre.
But everyone has their own opinion.
Sly has done plently of sh*t films, in fact majority of his best films are unknown, and lets face it 1,3 and 4 were the best of the Rocky Series, the other 3 were crap.
Rambo Series was wicked.
But come on, what about Tango & Cash, Demolition Man, Cobra. Now these are the good Sly films.
But like i've stated that's my individual opinion.
Also ask anyone here what is the first thing that comes to their mind when they hear the name Sylvester Stallone.
I bet your receive 2 answers...Rambo or Rocky

JA has you on that Remy. To bad Sly is only 5'6", and he takes Human Growth Hormones. And I know I would kick his ass any day of the week. Why would you put on here how much your house is worth. Your house must be pretty sh*tty to be only worth 78,000. What do you mean he's never done a sh*tty movie? Have you not ever seen Oscar? That was one of his sh*ttiest movies to date.

I agree with Nathan, on the whole Predator scenario.
Do some research on the product's source material first, and find loop-holes that could be openings, or use the sources various array of material to create your own script.
A nice touch could be a back story, i don't remember one, i think there was one in the comics though.

LMAO, and what the hell in Frankie Stallone's name has the value of your house and your harley, erm got to do with anything i was talking about?
I've met Stallone both Sylvester and Frank. Right so erm yeah save the bull for someone else, because obviously your the kind of guy that lacks a nice aspect called a sense of humour, lol grab one on the way out plz and come back or GTFO.
Stallone is old for the matter of the case his old age is catching up on him, his body on the outside is in great shape but on the inside its deteriorating.
The guy needs a f*cking script monitor because his going slightly blind due to his lazy eye and he can't read the script, cause his now got bad eyesight.
Also you fail because he aint a triple threat his a quadruple threat (writer, director, producer & actor).
And unfortunately, everything that Stallone touches doesn't turn to gold, he ain't King Midas. He is only great in the Action genre, because that's all he knows, i'll give drama genre credit though for Rocky though.
His been in plently of films that are a load of bullocks, and to note this fact his only known worldwide as 2 of his characters that he created which only sum up to a total of 9 of his films out of his filmography which totals to 56 films.
You see the difference between me and you,Remy72883, is your one of these people that kiss the backside of these celebrities. I don't i tell them truth and how it is.

Stallone could kick your ass any day off the week. but you say he is a weezing old man. i think i would win. shut up cause you know like the rest of us. whatever the man touches turns to gold. you will see it and enjoy. so when you finally get the guts to admit im right.

Ok these need voice overs
1st pic...Stallone in Voice-over
"Yeahhhhh, i'll show these haters that i'm still an action guy, man i'll keep coming back man, i brought back Rocky and Rambo and i'm still fit....
He pauses to catch his breath and moans at some crew members to get the script monitor running because he couldn't read his lines due to his lazy eye....
Take 2
"YEAHHHHHHHHHH!"
Picture 2 -
Stone cold and Eric Roberts are walking down the road talking about how he survived the drop in TDK and how awesome he was in Best Of The Best...All of a sudden...
Special guest star...Rikishi enters the film in a car,
Stone Cold
Oh f*ck.
Eric Roberts (In a Wayne's World style kind of tone)
WWE....WWE.... HIT & RUN...EXCELLENT
They make a run for it...suddenly Stallone enters from the running picture and goes...
Stallone shoots the gun, Rikishi gets shot, the car flips but to Stallone surprise some one else is in the car and stallone shouts out
Stallone
ADRIENNNNNNNNN!
The car flips over Stallone heads as he calls out the name.
3rd picture
Jason Stantham & Stallone walk out from their run down shack.
Stantham
Come on Stallone, let's go hunting for birds, we can see the magpies.
Stallone
Nah, yal alright, i'm looking at that broad over there, damn that lil mumma is fine as hell.
Stallone looks the extra up and down. The broad turns round and Stallone can't believe his eyes...
It's Uwe Boll dressed up as a female extra for his new film.

I was talking about the 2nd picture down, with the explosion, that angle is terrible, and it looks like Eric Robert decided to slip instead of jump.
Any whoo on to the next 2 pictures which are newly added which are 1st and 3rd pic.
1st pic classic action scene, hero runs through gun fire and doesn't take one shot, obviously because its stallone and we can't have the director being shot at, lol.
3rd picture, is cool, Stantham looks like his going on an exploration trip maybe bird-hunting who knows...
Stallone just looks like his going to sexually assault someone on set...in which hope the camera person is a woman...

"i hope to God they ain't using that angle lol, it looks to fake and set-up." That's because, being a movie, it IS most likely "fake and set-up." :P
Only kidding...
I agree with everyone; this movie will kick major ass; or was that already said, Fallen??? :)
