that's great news, they're an awesome effects company. i figured they woulda went with Almagated Dynamics since they did both AVP movies and the guys running the company have worked on all the Alien sequels and Predator movies in some capacity.

Cannot wait for this one. First A Predator reboot and then a Alien prequel, sounds sweet!

I sure hope these guys nail the story. Of course anything might be better than that AVP: Requiem. What a brain cell killer.

It's nice to see that the look of the Predator's will stay true to the original. If they had gone with a "re-imagined" Predator (like what was done to the Enterprise in Star Trek) I'd have been very sad.
