Hey folks, Harry here... Got the following from de5perado and I have to say, I'm intrigued as hell. This has been one of those fanboy salivation projects for years.... feels like decades now. Peter Briggs wrote a fun script, but Hollywood can't remember two months ago, much less however many years it has been since he first wrote that. The other problem with Briggs' script in Hollywood's eyes is that it is everywhere Online for Download.... Now while this really doesn't mean anything to you and me, evidently to Hollywood it means quite a bit. In fact it is a gigantic problem for them. Because since we internet geeks know what will happen we no longer have any interest in it.... mmmhmmm, riiiiiight. This is why we have no interest in LORD OF THE RINGS, why GONE WITH THE WIND sucked and so on.
But ok, Smilin' Jack has heard it might be starting up again. That the project has heat again. I don't believe this is from a new script, as we would've heard about it. We haven't. If it does have heat, then that means that Fox has abandoned any plans for PREDATORS or ALIEN 5, as before... the excuse they used for not making ALIENS VS PREDATOR was because they felt both franchises still had life and that AvP would be an ender to both.
Personally I thought a great AvP flick would be a shot of adrenaline to both... That suddenly there would be a much needed energy again. And it could just add to the mythology of both franchises.
I chatted briefly with a source in Fox Land, snuggled in the Big Black Tower and word is that Smilin Jack is right. We'll see...

And just got this in:
Call me bastardman.
During recent close contact with some of those that work within Davis Entertainment, the company that John Davis owns, it was confirmed to me that there is indeed a renewed interest in AvP. Now this would not be from an old script as they were apparently shopping around the graphic novel to people looking for some writer/director team to take a new spin at it. One idea that was apparently being tossed around and that they were warming to was to set it in present day, as a sequel to the Predator films and a prequel to the Alien films.
if I hear more, i'll pass it along.
