naa....they haven't done Alien vs Godzilla yet.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Is there some other reason Freaky Friday has been made three times?

You've got to admit it is a cool idea.

To make a movie based upon a comic book or video game, what brilliance! :)

Of the two movies, I like Alien best, though I have both of them recorded on the same tape.

Yeah, but the sequel to "Alien" is even better.

I never played the video game nor read the comic book or gave it much attention.  Seemed more like an excuse to shoot stuff and blow things up, with gore and flash for "sizzle".

Not sure I like the storyline.  Seems too much like a rip-off of John Carpenter's "The Thing".  I think it would've played better if they'd made "Predator" race as the protagonist, who is transporting the "Aliens" on a cargo ship, sort of a lead-in to the first "Alien" film, where the human astronauts find the wrecked ship on the planet.

I'm thinking I might save my money and watch "Catwoman" instead.

No it isn't. The last movie for each theme did dismally at the box office.  Alien Ressurection was especially thick-witted and insipid.  Combining them will create one of the greatest bombs of collosal proportion since Waterworld or The Postman.

Predator 2 tanked?  I was too young to see it when it came out so I don't know how it did in theaters, but I always enjoy watching the Predator movies on TV.  I'll watch Aliens vs Predator when it's on TV, too.

Game?

Comic?


edit - I need to read what I post sometimes. :)

Really?

The comic books and video games with the same concept pluralize the first word in the title so it's 'Aliens Vs. Predator,' but this movie will keep it singular
