The teaser trailer for Paul Anderson’s Aliens vs. Predator flick is now online. What a terrible, terrible idea. Both Ridley Scott and James Cameron have expressed interest in making another Alien film, and yet Fox greenlights this piece of hack garbage? Bleah.

Reportedly Cameron’s interest in a fifth Alien movie was contingent upon the non-happening of A v. P … so this has been a spectacularly shoddy move on Fox’s part.
Not the first time inexplicable talent-evasion has happened w/r/t Paul Anderson. Anderson also booted George A. Romero from Resident Evil. No surprise: it sucked.
kevin, as you know, i like PTA, but yeah, big budget sci-fi is not his bag, it’ll probably end up in psychomelodrama instead of big gory fun.
Mark, this is Paul Anderson of Mortal Kombat and Event Horizon, not Paul T. Anderson of Magnolia and Punch Drunk Love. Although, as you know, I’m not a big fan of either.
I agree, it sounds like shit, but Lance Henriksen is the lead and that’s good enough for me. He shines in everything he’s in, it’s a pity he doesn’t get better roles in bigger and better movies. But then again he would totally outshine every other actor in them, so what big-name dude in their right mind would want to do scenes with him?
Lia: A good actor doesn’t steal a scene. The job of an actor is to identify given circumstances and react accordingly. Often, that involves identifying a scene’s high points and low points (which means that you’re there to make the other actors look good when the scene calls for it). And when you’re doing theatre and your lead actor blows his cues (which happened to me in a supporting role recently), you STILL have to make him look good without the audience catching on!
