Since AvP attempted something at a hint prequel with the Weyland Character known to us as Bishop (the synthetic from Aliens and Alien3) and the ending in AvP Requiem where the guy gives MRs Yutani (Weyland-Yutani corp!) the Predator cannon im wondering where they are going with this attempt to carry on the already failed AvP franchise. However they did leave Alien Resurrection open for a 5th! In the ending that made it Ripley and Call and the great Ron Pearlman barely touched down on earth...couldnt the new one pick up after this? maybe as they break through the clouds they see Aliens running riot through cities (and maybe then bring on the Predators if thats what Fox really bloody want but keep it mostly in the Alien vein!!!!) Personally I doubt Ridley will be bothered about doing another (seriously) I mean what has he done in the last 10 years? As for Weaver, I dont think she can really afford to throw away films last I saw her rippleyness was in sodding Village and that movie sucked ass. So her bitterness to the trodden AVP films was probobly the fact that it didnt need her, the comics didnt have Ripley and neither did the PC games and the films which ignored the great source material from the AVP world (except Pred-Alien) didnt even call for actual actors (we all know Lance is a great sport and will do pretty much anything) So Weaver, Fox and Ridley get your heads out of yur asses and get the wheels rolling already stop yamming out the crap PG-13 versions of two great franchises for the kids and make something real...especially you FOX! There, I feel good getting that out...
