The story was also going to revolve around the humans luring the predators to the pyramid with alien eggs. Originally there was going to be five predators but this was cut down to three. It’s unknown what changes Salerno made but some of Anderson’s early ideas had been scrapped.
Shane Salerno was brought in and spent six months re-writing Anderson’s script and stayed on throughout production making changes as necessary. Patrick Tatopoulos – Queen Concept Art StoryĪfter Paul Anderson had finished Resident Evil Apocalypse, he began working on the Alien vs Predator script. Producer John Davis was impressed with Anderson’s pitch and the project was greenlit. He asked designer Patrick Tatopoulos to create some concept art pieces to use in his presentation, and paid for them out of his own pocket. Anderson approached 20th Century Fox and pitched a story for the film which he had been working on for several years. It was rejected by producer John Davis as he wanted the film to take place on Earth. In 2002, another Aliens vs Predator treatment was written by James DeMonaco and Kevin Fox which followed the storyline of the comic series, AvP: Eternal. Both games were quite well-received by critics and fans alike. In 1999, a game called Aliens vs Predator was released for PC followed by its sequel Aliens vs Predator 2 in 2001. You can read more about this part of the film’s history in T he Hunt Begins: The Early Days of Peter Briggs’ Alien vs. Screenwriter Peter Briggs wrote an AvP screenplay based on the comic books in the early 90s and submitted it to 20th Century Fox who were cautious to move forward with the project. We then got a glimpse of an alien skull in the trophy room in Predator 2 in 1990 which fuelled rumours of a crossover film. DevelopmentĪliens vs Predator first appeared in comic book form in 1989 and was quite successful in the 90s. They also find out that these aliens might be still alive somewhere in the pyramid ruins but unknown to them, there’s also another species of alien exploring there – the Predators. When the group reaches one of the pyramids in Antarctica, they discover human skeletons and the fossilized remains of Facehuggers and Chestbursters. These ruins are deep under the ice surface which were built by the Predators and were formed much earlier than the pyramid ruins in Egypt. The film is set in the present time at the beginning of the 21st century and a group of scientists and archaeologists travel to Antarctica and discover ancient pyramid ruins. If they survive the battle against the aliens, they earn their “warrior status”. The Predators use Earth for their rituals and every 1000 years, they drop five teenage predators off at a pyramid and they have to fight for their survival.
