Oh no, please NO! That sounds a lot like it came from the same type of thought process used and abused by the studios on a daily basis by simply cutting & pasting a bunch of scattered bits & pieces from all previously used scripts together at random just to crank out yet another to the list of the worst sequel plots/storylines in film history. What I mean is, the idea you've pitched here doesn't give us anything we haven't already seen at least once before in a previous Alien, Predator or even the first two attempts at AVP. It's the same familair characters and story elements that'd play out on screen as a lazy, redundent, overly recycled turd that never seems to flush all the way and keeps floating back up for no appearant reason and yet every time it comes back, it's got a shiny new colored bow tied around it...but you KNOW it's still just the same ol' turd as before.
Fox Studios seriously needs to step back and take a chance by allowing a REAL Artist* to take charge. Yeah, that's right...a REAL Artist*. NOT some husky fansboys who can jump on command and follow all of your "Look how far I can shove my head up my own ass" instructions. Try using someone with both talent AND experience in a director's seat who's driven and passionate about creating a new movie instead of just reshooting any/all of the classic scenes from the two franchises.* Give audiences a different way to view AVP that's unlike anything we've seen so far. Why not? The one thing you've learned from the first two AVP films is that no matter how bad it looks in the end, you're still guaranteed to profit off it faster than Jessica Alba would if she began offering bj's to anyone for $20.
I want to see a new AVP where the story is told from a new angle thats WAAAAAY the hell outside of the box it's been stuck inside. No more of the ******** recycled catchphrases/lines, scenes, music, etc. and so on from the old Aliens/Predator films! Do something fresh & original, tell it from a brand new angle instead of the same motions only in a different background. These characters have endured the test of time not from their ability to captivate audiences through any spoken word, but rather from the physical performances provided by the actors underneath those big rubber suits. So, this is exactly where/why an experienced AND talented ARTIST* is so desperately needed here in order to properly depict scenes driven solely by the actors physical performances. Besides, it's usually the silent/dialouge-free scenes in films which offer the most powerful impact on an audience. in order to create something truly great on a visual level without any sort of human narration or cutting away every other minute just to hear yet another goddamn idiot human character deliver some poorly scripted line which is often cheesier than 70's porn music. A new AVP film certainly COULD be done incredibly well, however it still remains to be seen if FOX would ever be willing to put the right people in the right places and also provide the funds needed to achieve the best picture possible.
So, it doesn't really matter to me if it's a new AVP or a Predator 3. Either way, I believe there's gotta be at least some small chance in hell that FOX might actually get it right sooner or later. Returning full honor and respect back to the entire Pred Clans throughout all space & time. Yeah, I know...I'm a ******' dreamer...
...But I'm not the only one!!!
Hey, if the dynamic duo of Nolan and Bale could successfully hit the reset button on the Batman after those gawd awful days involving bat-nipples, as far as I'm concerned, that's proof enough for me to keep believing anything is possible!![]()

Although that comment rankles me a little (i DID come up with that bit... sorta), I gotta agree with you there.
You gotta admit, I cut and paste better than any Fox execs.
