Also I hope they will fix all bugs and low quality parts of 1st release. Yeah...

Guess there's no real sense getting the AVP/AVP:R 2-Pack now. Heh.

"While this new version of 'Alien vs. Predator' marks the first confirmed BD-Live title from Fox, it's not likely to be the last, with the studio also telling Gizmodo that they are currently looking at three other major (but as-yet-unamed) franchises to receive a similar interactive-heavy treatment."

Can we speculate what these 3 franchise movies are from Fox?

Can't be StarWars right since thats all Lucas.

100% agree.

T2 and Robocop also look crappy. Need for reissue too.

Beast · 03-10-2008, 08:56 PM

The Alien and Predator franchises seem likely. Maybe X-Men as the third?

Wolverine does open next year. So it would be logical to get the 3 X-Men films out on Blu.

Yes, I know 'Last Stand' is already out there. But every other region got a fully loaded SE on DVD.

Gamma_Winstead · 03-10-2008, 08:57 PM

um wasn't this confirmed for an April 15th release? seriously?

EDIT: here

Beast · 03-10-2008, 09:00 PM

The original Planet of the Apes films are another possibility that springs to mind.

If they consider a movie with one sequel a Major franchise then I guess Transporter and Fantastic Four could be the other ones.

I think it was just assumed it would be on the re-release.

Where as it sounds likely they're just re-packaging the current release with AVP:R.

Well, Predator also birthed AVP and AVP:R. So they may be included due to that.

Just because it's only two movies doesn't make it any less a franchise.

And Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: RotSS probably would be also.

Given they're doing a Silver Surfer movie as well as FF3.

I'll keep my original AVP BD.

I'm not double dipping for PIP and interactive games.

Same here, I'm happy with my copy.

Blu Falcon · 03-10-2008, 09:44 PM

This news came just in time. I was going to get the version that's currently out right now. I guess I'll wait until it gets a new treatment. Thanks for the heads up.

This seems silly. They're re-leasing a 2-pack that is a re-issue of their now (admittedly) gimped copy of AVP? Why bother? Do the expect the box set to be a big seller? Why not just release AVPR with the goodies NOW, and then hold off on releasing any more copies of AVP until the re-issue? Now they're gonna have 3 different Blu versions of AVP floating around out there. Senseless.

I have the first one and I am happy with it. No way I am double dipping for this one.

Bullseye · 03-10-2008, 11:33 PM

There is no way this film is worth the double dip. I will stick with the first release.

Most people do not read up on this stuff. They buy what is forced onto them. Or there are some freaks out there that feel they must have that cardboard sleeve that holds both movies.
