That's right folks! Dark Horizons has posted the following news post regarding the production of the Aliens vs. Predator movie... Well it's official, the sci-fi teamup is going ahead after all with filming scheduled to begin this October in Prague under the helm of Paul W. Anderson ("Resident Evil"). According to Filmjerk, the story follows "human scientists going on an expedition to Antarctica to lure Predator hunters, using Alien eggs as bait. Of course, these plans quickly goes awry and the humans find themselves in the crossfire between two warring alien species". Casting agents are seeking seven major human characters (NONE from the previous films in either franchise are returning), including a gorgeous female environmental researcher, her hunky Egyptologist ex-beau, a gruff Han Solo-esque American archeologist, the billionaire industrialist financier who hides his terminal disease, the English-accented Afro-Caribbean team leader, a muscle bound beefheaded Texan, and a geeky but smart scientist. Interestingly with the exception of the female lead, the other six roles are to be filled by European actors. No word on how this moving ahead will affect filming plans on "Resident Evil 2". Thanks to 'Chris' & 'Rich'. There it is, lets just pray that he doesn't screw it up! |
