No to another AVP sequel, but yes to an AVP origin movie?

Nolan's Batman was drawing on existing source material from comics while creating a new film continuity.

Creating a new film continuity over an existing film continuity can be a little more difficult.

@S.M.  True and yes I know what Christopher Nolan drew from for his Batman movies, The Long Halloween, Batman Year One, No Man's Land, Knightfall, etc. It would be a lot tougher for AVP, you're right about that.

only difficult if the viewers simply wont accept it. most people I have spoken to cant wait to see alien5 which is going to do just that. I think most people would welcome an alternative to the first avp. as ridley scott says without completely disregarding alien3 and AR, we r going to be given an alternative fork in the road. if u don't like what they do then u still have alien3 and AR. all that's needed is a bit of give and take from the fans but this crossover could very well be one that fans would welcome an alternative. I for one would, and I did enjoy avp1 as a popcorn flick. but is someone gave me a darker, more alien/ aliens movie and chucked a few preds in I wouldn't mind at all

plus avp has a lot of material to be drawn on just like batman.

@ali81   Yeah, I love the idea that I have read on here from multiple people talking about Alien 5 saying Alien 3 and Resurrection are dreams Ripley had in cryosleep, I think that's cool as shit.

dr curt. I don't think that's the way theyr going to go with alien5. I think from what I hear is theyr just going to give us a stand up alternative to alien3. I enjoyed A3 though not my fave but given the books and comics that depict hicks and newts survival, I welcome a different take on what happened to them. give them a story and not just kill them off coz they wouldn't pay Biehn the fee he wanted

@ali81   Yeah that would be cool, I will be happy with whatever they do. Looking forward to seeing those characters again.

Not sure they're doing anything with Alien 5 now.

I think wel see alien5 after ridley has finished with his story and brought us upto alien. makes sense for him to finish before Blomkamp starts his

I think potentially there was a better franchise cross-over to be had, especially some of the Comics and also the Video Games of around 16 years ago.

A AVP set in the timeline that the Dark Horse Comics are, could work if done right.  Same as a Alien sequel and prequels can but they can also Bomb too...  but still do well at Box Office because the Xenomorph sells $$$$

So if Fox think they can make $$$$ out of another AVP i think there is a chance we would see one again in the future.. how soon?

Who knows but i would bet within 20 years we would see another AVP for sure.

I enjoyed the first AVP. I blissfully ignore time lines for this one- it was its own thing and very entertaining. I am not against the idea. FOX will decide and if they think they can turn a profit, they might do it.
