ummm there is no alien/predator its a alien or a predator

no in the end of AVP a predator got inplanted with an alien and in this movie there is a hybrid cross of the two

it looks awesome but i cant really tell whats happening are the predators on the humans side or what and whos side is the alien/predator thing on?

Its every man for themselves. The Preds are here to hunt us (as they do from time to time planet hopping for wild game. See Predator and Predator 2). I believe in this story, when they crash/land on earth, some Alien infants (the spider lookin thing) excape from their ship and infect some humans as hosts. There may have been a a few full grown ones that escaped as well.

So think of it as watching the original predator, but this time Aliens are running around the forest as well taking human victims.

I Am Legend is based off the Richard Matheson sci-fi novel of the same name. I think the book was written in the mid-50's. There are two film adaptations of it...one is called The Omega Man and had Charleton Heston in it (early 70's, I believe) and the other is The Last Man On Earth and had Vincent Price in it (mid 60's).

The book is good. Haven't seen any of the movies, though.

that would be true i believe if this were a sequel...but from what i heard this is not exactly the case..more like a parallel and not the next film in a sequence hence the AVP-R

Correct. It has happened in the video games and in the graphic novels. However for this film it doesn't apply.

Take everything that happened in AVP, and disregard it. This film is taking the approach as if AVP was never made.

Good question. I had not known about the inclusion of the Predalien in this film. It's not something completly out of left field, as i mentioned the Predalien has been in storyline of both characters going back to the books.

I'll be interested to see how they portray the predalien as coming to be, since they have stated this movie is being made in parallel to the first AVP

EDIT: I've made a seperate thread on this film so as not to thread jack form the original theme of I am Legend.

 

I found a clip of the first 5 minutes of the film as well and posted it there.

it's a great book. So much different then what how the movie looks, even in the previews.

For instance, he's not some super-buff super-smart scientist will smith, hes an average guy who gets by as the last person on the planet with booze and smokes.
