We’ve heard talk several times of another Alien movie being tossed around - an idea that sounds pretty unappealing after we’ve seen how well the nemesis has developed over the course of the Alien vs. Predator flicks.

One of the most anticipated films of the year (at least in Australia) and the film that is expected to redeem Fox's list of failures over the past year has been pushed back. It isn't official as to why Baz Luhrmann asked for an extension for the film but reports are that Fox pressured Luhrmann into filming a new ending after test screenings were not too warm towards it. (Spoilers) It was reported that in the original ending one of the main characters died (End of Spoilers) However the people at… Continue
