    The story of the Xenomorphs begins, time-wise, in the first of the two crossover films for the franchise, AVP. Set in 2004, Alien vs. Predator, from Resident Evil/Event Horizon's Paul W. S.

This would be the final crossover film of the Alien franchise. You can see our guide to the Predator movies in orde...

Sadly, the crew also stumbles across these creators' bio-weapon -- the Xenomorph. Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Id...

  5. Oct 26, 2003 · 7 min read. A discovery on an alien planet in "Alien." At its most fundamental level, “Alien” is a movie about things that can jump out of the dark and kill you.
