AVP will be released at the end of august (or it might be october I'm not 100%).

I can't tell you any of the story cause of the NDA (non disclosure agreement) but it looks good so far.

Eh Pure_Morning, since you are working in the film industry, maybe you can answer this question:
From all the people who work on a movie, how on earth is it possible that no one tell the scripter/realisator when something totaly stupid happen?

Exemple: bouncing light rays in Blade 2 AND Van Helsing, basic laws of physics, how someone can lift something heavier than them at arms lenght without problem, etc...

It really bothers me to see how they can spend millions on a movie without even proof reading the scenario... Van Helsing is the best exemple, so not credible that I feel bad for the actors!

Anyways, I dont want to turn this into a movie critic, just want to know if you know if its done or not...

Personally my preferred level of unveliebable physics is more or less at the level of "the bourne identity" (which isnt actually even 80% correct either...)

On lights and such is a trade of the game... a movie lies on every frame... the problem comes when you dont believe the lie(in fact a lot of ppl that sees a set for frist time and how boring it is and all the tricks and guts becomes a bit disenchantented about film/tv

haha, that pic in your second post looks great Dragon! Your side pic reminds me too..I was lucky enough to meet Stan Winston a few days back, and he talked about all his famous monster creations....anyways afterwards I went home and watched Predator, and it just made me smile tosee the work he had been talking about with a new appreciation for his great monster design. I too am looking forward to AVP, have been a fan from both creature franchises and the comics. It ought to be great fun to see these guys go at it on the big screen. Oh..and as for your AC in Madrid, hey when the movie comes out, go see it in the Air conditioned theater over and over =P Or come visit the US and watch it here, got really nice AC in the Metreon Theater.
