From cinemablend, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem co-directors Colin and Greg Strause have been promising all along that their new entry into the burgeoning Predators fighting Aliens franchise will be the movie fans have wanted to see, but it looks like what we won’t see are any of the characters we care about from the previous, better movies.
MTV has been all over AVP-R this week, and they’ve been talking extensively to the Brothers Strause who told them that despite their best efforts to the contrary, none of the stars of the Alien movies will be in their movie. “We actually went after a couple of people that would have been really cool cameos.” Unfortunately, those people have apparently seen the first, disappointing AvP because they say at least one of them “shockingly blew” them off. “A the other we just didn’t have the money to do it,” says Greg.
The movie may not have Sigourney Weaver or even Paul Riser, but it if you’ve seen the R-rated red band trailer that’s been circulating for it you know it’ll have tons of gore. The Strause Brothers tell MTV that bathing the movie in blood is their way of earning back the fans that Paul W.S. Anderson’s original AVP lost. In particular they seem excited in their interview about a scene in which they have a chest burster come out of a kid. Sounds um… delightful.

What is all this AVP nonsense anyway? Are they actually making money on this crap?
Aw come on, Jordan, AVP was the best of all the Alien films.
Of course I'm kidding.
Nonsense indeed. I'm repeating myself here, but the Predator franchise barely deserves to exist -- I don't even think that first movie is all that interesting. This combo is loathsome, especially now that we've got Aliens running around on Earth in the present day. Aliens should only be encountered in spacey, industrial-looking corridors.
Yeah, although I had plenty of nightmares involving Aliens moving through Manhattan apartment buildings when I was a kid.
