Far as I know the first film was a fair commercial success, no? Teenagers took care of it.

And (http://www.aintitcool.com/?q=node/22405) James Cameron.

Despite some shortcomings (the human cast, mainly), the first AVP movie was a pretty decent flick.

Some plot elements from the movie were completely ripped off from the comics too.

Out of curiosity- Like what?

I thought it was pretty much meant to be a rip-off of a lot of the comic.

Anyhow, the main female character teaming up with a predator was part of the comic, along with the predators using aliens as hunting material. In the end the predator gets killed by the queen while they're fighting it.

No pyramid or Earth though. It was set in the future on a desert planet.

Don't forget the whole "using alien blood to mark the heroine's forehead" deal.

I didn't realise there was (http://io9.com/5232904/ridley-scott-wants-to-remind-us-whos-your-alien-daddy) talk of a prequel film floating about, nor that Ridley Scott was toying with the idea of directing it.

Rumors about it are floating out there for few years already. Somebody wake me up when the shooting starts.

At least we know it's still alive, but other than that they're keeping mum.
