It's not the film that making people excited (I hope, because it does look..erm, dodgy 
), it's the prospect of seeing two of the biggest alien races to grace our screen get it on in royal rumble stylee, granted the genre it's being made in doesn't ring true to me (sure the alien movies were horror/action, with emphasis on the horror, though the Predator movies were primarily action themselves, with dashes of the *things* that make it horrific). The film is the culmination of years of fanboy interest of what it would be like to see them duke it out on the big screen, they've battled in other mediums before (comic books/games/cards), the movie was a given.
Unfortunately, I think Anderson has the small wee problem of "So what's the story? ... elite team of STARS trapped and separated in an old mansion with zombies hunting them down and a sinister corporation trying to cover it up? Great, lets just change the mansion to a giant laboratory, take out the scary bits and replace it with people running around in groups with lots of guns shooting anything and everything that moves"
(I didn't like Resident Evil all that much if you hadn't noticed already)
Not that i'm prejudiced against the guy, quite liked Event Horizon. Though having a PG13 certificate makes me think it's just going to be many fights and little plot (read: not scaring the bejesus out of people), not that it matters, just that the horror of both series will be diluted down to a bunch of misfits screaming when they see an alien/predator/cute fluffy kitten when they jump out every so often.
...bugger, what was the question again?
