Message: <blockquote data-quote="Acid_crash" data-source="post: 1671292" data-attributes="member: 16278">The original script written in 89 or 90 was a really damn good script.  I read the whole thing and it was just jumping with intense action and good character dialogs, but of course this is not the movie based on that script.  The script got scrapped in 91, but the script was based entirely on the original AvP comic strip, and somewhere I read that they didn't want the movie based on the comic stript to that degree (go figure, if they had made it, it would have been good)...but also at that time the Predator 2 movie flopped and so did Alien 3, and they felt it wasn't a good time to make the movie.....and they were probably right.  The movie was practically dead for many years until the success of the video games, that's when they thought of bringing the movie back out, but then the problem came down to who will direct, write the script, how much it will cost, the usual snafoos of making a movie (I guess) and it took a few years for them to figure out all this.So this movie isn't based on the comics or the novels, big deal.  I read the first Alien trilogy and the first couple predator novels, I didn't like them at all.  This movie is about two alien species who hate each other and hunt each other, and it just happens that we get in the middle of it this time around...I'm all for that and I don't care about continuity with novels, comics, or even the original films.I want this to be a good movie, and stand on its own merits, and I think that is what it will do.</blockquote>
