Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (also known as AVP: R or AVP: 2), and in development called Aliens vs. Predator: Survival of the Fittest, is the upcoming sequel to 2004's Alien vs. Predator film. Filming began on September 25, 2006 in Vancouver with Tom Woodruff, Jr. and Alec Gillis from Amalgamated Dynamics handling the special effects (as they did for the previous installment) and Daniel Pearl as director of photography. The Brothers Strause (Colin and Greg Strause) have directed the movie[3] from a script by Shane Salerno.[4] Actors Steven Pasquale and Reiko Aylesworth will play leading roles in the film.[5]
Unlike the PG-13 rating of the original, which garnered some criticism, the film is rated R for violence, gore, and language.[6] The BBFC's classification decision for the movie is the same as the original, whilst the Australian OFLC rated the film MA, up on the original's M rating.
A game has also recently been released for the PlayStation Portable.[7][verification needed] The game centers on the lone Predator cleaning up the mess left by a crashed ship.[8] It has been confirmed this will be part of the plot for the movie.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem picks up immediately after the events of Alien vs. Predator. The Predator ('Scar'), who was impregnated by a Facehugger before being killed by an Alien Queen at the end of the first film, gives birth to a Predalien onboard his clan's ship. As the Predalien rampages through the ship, a Predator attempts to kill the Predalien with his plasma caster but inadvertently shoots a hole in the ship causing it to crash in the forests outside of Gunnison, Colorado. The crash releases Facehuggers that quickly begin to impregnate townspeople and create a new hive of Aliens. The crash has not gone unnoticed, however, as a distress call was sent by the ship to the Predators' homeworld. The Predators dispatch one of their own, a "cleaner" (nicknamed "Wolf" by the film's production team) to destroy the Aliens and the Predalien hybrid. At the same time, a group of townspeople caught in between the Aliens and the Predator, join forces to stop the Alien infestation before the military obliterates the town to contain the Aliens before they spread.

Images have surfaced showing that both creatures have gone through design changes since Paul W. S. Anderson directed the original Alien vs. Predator.[10] These include a return to the ridge-headed aliens last seen in Aliens (though not to the same extreme)[11] and a slimmer, more athletic Predator, nicknamed Wolf, as seen in Predator and Predator 2. The Predator's weapons have been somewhat modified for the new film. The Predator now carries two plasma casters, after taking one from the body of a deceased predator, and uses a bladed disk as seen in the second film, as well as multiple Predator shurikens. The Predator has received a new weapon, which appears to be a whip, made from Alien teeth which was able to wrap around an Alien numerous times and slice it in in several pieces, as seen in the trailer. And of course, the Predator CombiStick (spear) will make a return. The predator will also use one of his plasma casters in a handheld manner, which is to be used by a human later on in the film.
The trailer shows the Predator variant of the Alien, the PredAlien, will appear in the film, after being set up prior in Paul Anderson's Alien vs. Predator.[12] The inclusion of the Predalien was confirmed when IGN released an image showing Wolf and the Predalien fighting.[13] The Predalien as shown in early production stills, released by Twentieth Century Fox, has a large tail, several times larger than that of normal aliens and with several barbs, ending in a heavy club. While action figures from the film label the Predalien as Hybrid, it is not a hybrid, but rather an alien parasite incubated within a predator host, causing this breed.
