With an unreported budget, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem must not have cost all that much to make since its box-office take of a meager $41 million seems to have inspired 20th Century Fox to prepare to move forward with a third, and most likely final, installment in the franchise.
An anonymous tip apparently came into Shock Til You Drop over the weekend from an inside source saying a third film was a “certainty”. My assumptin is that Fox is planning on a big take come the April 15th DVD and Blu-ray release of AVP:R or they wouldn’t be so eager to drop hints, and I have no reason to believe STYD’s source isn’t legit.
The site points out that the Strause brothers,
who directed AVP:R, hinted that a third film would take place in space based on how the second flick ended. Having not seen the second film yet since it was apparently so bad Fox wouldn’t even show it to critics I can’t tell you how that plays out, but I am sure several of you are better informed having been duped into checking out a film that it seemed no one really enjoyed.
There is no word on whether or not the brothers are returning for the third or who is writing the script after Shane Salerno penned the second installment.
