Trailer available at IGN.

The trailer is gory. If you're squeamish, at work, or babysitting your 6-yr-old sister, save it for later.

Loved the alien movies (at least the first 3), loved the predator movies, loved the AvP games and I enjoyed the AvP movie. I'm stoked for this sequel

Thanks for the link.

Trailer looks sick!! Acting could be an issue but with the special effects and fighting it won't matter. Definately gonna see this.

My god I am so seeing this. So the acting and plot is never as good as the original Aliens or Predator films, and they do misrepresent the Aliens life cycle (in the first film the chestbursters were gestated, born and matured in what is implied to be less than 24 hours), but by god I love seeing the Xenomorphs and the Yautja, whatever the scenario!

Looks pretty good. Did anyone see the hybrid alien?

I am a huge aliens and predator fan. I can't wait for this to come out. It's the first time I've seen a rated R preview. lol

I'll definitely be going to see this one. Looks like a good flick to just kickback with some popcorn and enjoy. It's also looking significantly better than the first one, which was a bit tripe-y considering the pedigree of the films it was spawned from!

I am pretty sure I saw a few clips of an alien with mandibles.

I don't have a screen shot capturing program so I can't take a snap shot of it, but at 1:43 there is a shot with a couple more just before it.

I am assuming that the hybrid alien is the one they use to make more eggs (i.e. a queen)

All of the Xenomorphs have mandibles, the only Xenomorph without true Mandibles is the facehugger...

Anyway, the creature you most likely saw was a Predalien, formed when a Facehugger impregnates a Yautja, causing the resultant offspring to inherit Yautja feautres from their DNA.

That is what I am referring to as the hybrid alien. That was the name given to it by numerous toy and prop companies, though this is probably not the official name for it.

I should've been more clear what I meant by mandibles

Trust me, I am a long time fan of both Aliens and Predator franchises.
