Listen to this stuff:
They've got new directors on it, Greg and Collin Strause, and have mentioned wanting to take aliens back to its roots. They're turning AVP2 back into what the alien series should be... a scifi horror. <3 This movie is getting an R rating ALL the fucking way, and is bound to be nothing short of awesome... I really hope these guys can pull it off. As said in the little special I watched, Alien had characters one could really relate to, truckers in space, pretty much. (never thought of it that way before!) Aliens also had very acceptable characters, military grunts, the asshole commander, and Ripley, the forklift driver. (Yes, I know it's a loader...)
To top it all off, they've got a ton of GOOD special effects animators on the scene to make the movie bootiful!!! Artists from fantastic four, Terminator 3, Day after tomorrow, poseidon, and 300!
zomg yo!
