Page "Alien vs. Predator (film)" Paragraph 24

As there were six producers between the film franchises, Davis had difficulty securing the rights as the producers were worried about a film featuring the two creatures.

Paul W. S. Anderson pitched Davis a story he worked on for eight years, and showed him concept art created by Randy Bowen.

Impressed with Anderson's idea, Davis thought the story was like Jaws in that it " just drew you in, it drew you in ".

Anderson started to work on the film after completing the script for Resident Evil: Apocalypse, with Shane Salerno co-writing.

Salerno spent six months writing the shooting script, finished its development, and stayed on for revisions throughout the film's production.
