Avp2

Being filmed currently right across from my house. They didn't take too kindly to my presence. Best shot I got tonight.

alien vs predator :D

thats way cool, the first one was a huge budget movie. ill look for you waving in the background when the second one comes out xD

It's hard to get decent pictures, one reason being it's pitch black down there and it's not cool to use my flash, and another being that they tend not to want any pictures being taken.

The set is here until Saturday, tonight and tomorrow there will be gunfire scenes from 7 to 11 pm. I'll see what I can get, but after last night, I'm worried they might break my camera if they catch me again.

ROFL be sneaky and email them to some avp fansite. You can be an insider :)

You could do what you want, surely they couldn't take the camera off you? Its a purblic street they can't keep you out can they?

Well this is the debate I've being having today with some people. It is a public street, however I was told last night it was also a "closed set", whatever that technically means.

Everyone in the neighbourhood was given a letter stating what was happening, when, and where type thing. Nothing was said about not being allowed to take pictures.

A lot of filming is done in my area and I'm always taking pictures, and haven't had a problem. I can see them not wanting me to use a flash, and since the shooting is being done at night, it makes it hard to get a decent pic really. Out of 30 what you see here is the only half decent one.

I was told twice no pictures and when asked why not, the reply was that they don't want them posted on the internet. *Cough*

Anyhow, I'll see what I can get if anything tonight. Sposed to rain though to boot.

thats soo fucking cool!
is there tons of aliens and shit running around in the street ? :D

Lol.Not yet, but I'm sure hoping there will be.

I just found where they parked the armoured vehicles, so off I went again, camera in hand.

FOR SURE!!!
go all stealth mode james bond man

Stand on your roof and scream haha they can't remove you from your own home.

Dude, you are my hero. Keep those pictures coming and run fast if they see you!

That is actually quite crazy. That you have a movie with loads of aliens and shooting being shot across from your house man! :p!!!

Well last night I got nothing worth showing sadly. Too dark, and there was security everywhere. When they were filming, you really couldn't see much anyhow.

I did get a slightly better shot this morning of the Coyote parked in an adjacent lot. You can see the gun turret a bit better in this one.

We got a little tour of it last night buy one of the drivers before they rolled it out onto the set. Older model, worth around 1.3 million dollars, 14 tons and around 10 feet in height. Pretty intimidating looking down the barrel of the grenade launcher mounted on the right side of the turret. The guts are all ripped out and replaced with "hollywood crap" as we were told.

If you've never watched a movie being filmed, it's a lot like watching paint dry. We saw the same scene done half a dozen times in a five hour period.

Water truck soaks the street. Further up is a car flipped over, on fire. All they do is gut the car, put a propane tank in it and turn it into a bbq. That's how that's done.

Closer to us in a rain tower. Huge crane with a 50 foot beam on it, with sprinklers attached and hooked into the city's main water supply. That's how they make it rain.

Behind us is a Condor light. Biggest lightbulb I've ever seen, mounted on a black boom, so all you can really see is this huge light "hovering" in the sky.

Girl runs toward the coyote, and her kid runs up beside it screaming.
That was pretty much the scene.

We did get to walk through once during a break, and we could see a guy covering the coyote with red paint for blood, a few assault rifles, empty shells and a helmet laying on the ground. That was really about it in the 5 hours we spent down there.

Maybe I'll go down again tonight and see something a bit more exciting.

Cool, keep us updated.

Wicked man :) Film it being filmed ;) hehehe!

Damn cool! Spread this like crazy!!! XD

ooooh blood and assult rifles, sounds like a good movie haha
not many people liked the first AvP but i sure did, im stoked for the second one

Ah! 5 hours well spent my friend. This is the best topic here now by far. Keep the updates coming!

tbh... you need to take these pictures off the board. Sell them to an avp forum, then put them on every forum on th'internet ;)

Yeap. We had a long debate about that too the other day. The reason they don't like pics being taken is for this very reason.

If I were to sell them, then that would be illegal. I could probably make a few bucks, but that's not my intention here. My guess is the legal fees would far outweigh what I could get for a few pics taken with a cheap 3.2 digital camera.

I see it this way. I'm on a public street taking a few snaphots. If I'm asked not to, fine, I'll stop. For a while. Then I'll walk around, go home, whatever, go back, take a few more if I can.

If this was being filmed during daylight hours I'd have a lot more to show.

I'm not sure yet if they will be shooting tonite due to the crappy weather here. I'll be back at some point to let you guys know.

Excuse the double post.

I still don't know if they will be filming tonight. It's pouring buckets here right now, but I figured I'd take a few more shots just for the hell of it.

These first two are the Coyote. It gives you maybe a better idea as to the actual size of it in comparison to your average vehicle.

This is what's known as the Condor Light.

Front view of the Coyote.

Close up.

That's the windshiled to the right The only view you have is right in front of you, and to your left. Everything else is via cameras and thermal imaging, even in the "hollywood gutted" version of the beast.

This is the car they're using in the shoots.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...r/IMG_1701.jpg

lol @ the car, it looks pretty stupid just there like that :p So in the movie do they have loads of the coyote thing, or just a few, or are there loads in your town?

Damn it sure rains alot in vancouver froflrof

Good one of the car!

There's one Coyote, 2 hummers, and one larger personel vehicle of somesort that you can see in post #9 in the back ground. Weather they will be bringing in more military vehicles over the week, I really don't know.

The Coyote does seem to be the main attraction though so far as far as the shoots are going.

Edit:
Got a chance tonite to go back down, but it's really tough to get good pics, not to mention my camera pretty much sucks.

Here's the Condor Light in action.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...r/IMG_1707.jpg

Hard to make out, but between the hummer and the coyote you can see the flipped car burning away.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...r/IMG_1723.jpg

Couple of hummers and some people getting paid big bucks to stand around.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...r/IMG_1726.jpg

They're pretty adamant about being actually on set while filming. I did walk through and there was a table to my left on the side walk, with two guys playing around with assault rifles, which are in fact real weapons loaded with blanks.

The hummers have a chain gun mounted on the roof that shoots 50 cal shells. I got to see it fired, and I was maybe 20 feet away from it. I had no idea how loud these things were.

This one isn't as bad as I thought so I'll add it. The person you see standing on the hummer I beleive is Reiko Aylseworth, who plays the main character, Kelly. (Starred in such shows as 24, CSI, The Dead Zone, You've got mail...yada yada yada.)

Nice pics ^-^

Best set yet. Keep them coming!

Wicked man, film some of them filming , rofl! or, steal a gun if you can, and RUN LIKE HELL!

Seems to be getting around;)

I went back to the set last night, but it was pretty boring, and very wet. I called the production location manager, and the new crew is in tonight. Gunfire again according to them. I'm hoping the weather holds out this time around.

Here's a couple more shots.

man thats awsomee, cant wait for the movie, i hope its better than the first!

I haven't seen the first, so i have no idea what it's about ( Apart from the giveaway title ) :)

haha, its pretty good not the best graphix or anything, but still good movie

Talk about digging up an old thread.

Anyhow, for those who haven't seen it, this is an official picture. It could have being taken at the Geothermal plant out here in Port Moody, but that's
merely speculation.

One thing I do not like is the Aliens' hands. The Pred looks pretty cool though.

i wish i had the budget to buy a Armored Personnel Carrier....but yea, thats tight man, you should just walk up and act like your part of the crew...

I figured I'd post these pics now. They were leaked a while back and I got a hold of them. A foam model of the alien was stolen from a Port Coquitlam location, not
far from where I live. It was actually recovered and the person who stole it was charged.

From what I gather, it's used as a dead alien in certain shots.

lol that's funny, someone stole a foam alien XD

haha i know right, imagine the charge in court, "you're charged with the theft of a foam alien.." xD
