Infernal Mass is on a distinguished road
Smile Finally...

Production on Alien vs. Predator is scheduled to begin in Prague next week(actually today) and 20th Century Fox is already building interest in the film with a special preview that they've been showing at entertainment events, including the Los Angeles Comic Book and Science Fiction Convention which was held this weekend. We've decided to make a compilation of everything we know about the film, including details from our own sources and the information that been revealed by Fox.

Warning: this article contains serious spoilers, including some of the characters' deaths!

The Background Story

Here's the idea in a nutshell: Predators have been using our planet for thousands of years as a training ground for their hunter-warriors. Aztec temples were the focii of this training, and Aliens were used as prey. The Aztec people saw the Predators as gods, and built many of their monuments for these hunters. The movie's choice of Aztecs seems strange, since their civilization only dates back a century before Columbus. If the producers wanted something old, why not the Olmecs, whose ancient civilization was the progenitor of later Meso-American empires? I guess Aztecs are just cooler.

At any rate, the Aztec Predators were wiped out by an out-of-control Alien infestation, and that was the end of that. But they also had an older, more secret temple buried under the icecap of Antarctica, where the training continued. Fast-forward to the present day.

The Main Plot

Charles Weyland, the billionaire industrialist, has discovered the Antarctic temple using thermal imaging satellites. Thinking that this could be the site of mankind's Master Culture, he assembles a crack team, Jurassic Park-style, to go take a look. What they find, instead of a manmade temple, is a Predator temple where five young hunters are about to conduct their first Alien hunt. The Predator weapon of choice is a six-bladed shuriken throwing star, while the Aliens use their trademark infest-and-impale method of fighting. The humans, of course, get caught in the middle of it. Movie tagline: "Whoever wins, we lose."

The Characters

Alexia "Lex" Homer – Lex is the star of this film, a kind of Lara Croft character. She's an environmental scientist and a mountain climber, who joins the expedition after Weyland makes her an offer she can't refuse.

Charles Weyland – A billionaire industrialist in his forties, Weyland is secretly dying of cancer. He's a patron of scientific research, and hopes to make a lasting contribution before his death, but is that all he's got in mind? Weyland's signature prop is a 9-iron that he carries at all times. Weyland is played by Lance Henriksen, the same actor who played the android "Bishop" in Alien and Alien 3. Perhaps there is a geneological connection between Weyland and the Alien-era man that Bishop is modelled on.

Sebastian Wells – An American archaeologist and Aztec specialist in his thirties, Wells' idealism often clashes with his boss's priorities. A charmer, Wells starts out as a romantic interest for Lex before getting infected with a "chest-burster" and immobilized in an Alien coccoon.

Miller – Miller is the stereotypical nerdy scientist with thick glasses. His expertise as a chemical engineer and his knowledge of metallurgy help Weyland's team make some key discoveries. Miller doesn't survive long enough to appreciate these findings, unfortunately.

Verheiden – Verheiden is the team's Egyptologist, brought along just in case the temple has any connection to the Nile civilization. He makes a disturbing discovery in the ancient complex – skeletons with broken ribcages and fossilized Alien face-huggers. Verheiden has had a romantic encounter with Lex in the past, and he treats fellow archaeologist Sebastian Wells as a rival on the expedition.

Max Stafford – Stafford is an ex-soldier, Weyland's right-hand man. He assembles and leads Weyland's team of explorers.

Quinn – Quinn is a tough, arrogant Texan in charge of the drill team included in the expedition. Friction between his drilling team and the scientists adds to the expedition's difficulties. Quinn has to face down an Alien twice: the first time, he escapes with his life; the second time, he isn't so lucky.

Vincenzo – Vincenzo, a minor character, appears to be a mercenary soldier assisting the expedition

The group's numerous other members include several roughneck drillers under Quinn's command. Names that appear briefly in the script include Bass, Scar, Brown, Stone, and Peters. Many of these characters die early in the film.

Doesn't make sense.

I mean wouldn't the Aliens have taken over Earth when that happened?

I just hope that when the movie is released that it'll clear that up.

well the predators don't like losing very much, when they do.. they take out everything around them. I'm guessing here obviously..i think when the last hunter self destructed he took out all the aliens with him.
