>he should read half of what fan-boys discuss as to what would be the perfect avp or resident evil film,
>and then even if he used even the worst ideas, could create a better movie than those that he has with his own shitty takes on them.

Let me spell out something that maybe you don't know about.  Any story (fanfict, comic, novel, short story)  that has been previously published in print or on the web CANNOT be used in a movie or adapted to the screen.  Unless the original author is a professional well-known writer, studios will have NOTHING to do with them.  It is cheaper to have a professional screenwriter write something that hasn't been used than to try to negotiate any kind of rights for something pre-existing.  This is how the industry works.  Consequently all those good ideas in stories you talk about in fanficts or whatever can NEVER be used.


> this will probably be the nail in the avp coffin.

I disagree.  Aliens and Predator were both dead a long time ago.  Predator 2 sucked so much and bombed so badly at the theater that there was not EVER going to be another Predator film.

AvP, despite its rough editing, was an ok movie.  Not spectacular, but decent.  We all have our complaints but compared to the schlock of Alien 3 and 4 and Predator 2, this film kicked ass, EVEN at PG-13 instead of R.  Yeah, I'm bummed by that too.

>now we will need some indie director to recreate the avp mythos.

Won't happen.  Fox owns the rights to both Alien and Predator.  No one can use either in a movie without their permission.

> did i mention anderson gets to fuck milla jovovich too?

Lucky guy.

>life isn't fair.

Sucks to be you.
