Brothers Greg and Colin Strause have signed to direct AvP 2. This according to several sources, as well as the duo’s official website (linked below).
The Brothers Strause have directed numerous music videos and commercials. Their visual effects house (Hydraulx) provided work for TERMINATOR 3, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, FANTASTIC FOUR, POSEIDON, and X-MEN: THE LAST STAND (among other credits), and would presumably do the same here.
You can find a list of Greg and Colin’s impressive credits HERE.
’Twill be interesting to see where the Brothers take this film. It’s tempting to say that nearly anyone would be an improvement over Paul W.S. Anderson, given his tragically illogical and abrasively discontinuitous handling of the first film – but I won’t say that. Oh, sure I will.
These guys are an odd choice, to be sure, but they make sense in many ways. Remember, David Fincher came to Alien 3 with a very similar set of credentials; I’m not sure if I point this out as a justification, or cautionary tale.
None the less, even the brightest, most talented directors will fall hard with out a sold script to work with – a commodity that seems to be in short supply these days…at Fox, in particular.

Please stop making these films. I keep going thinking i will be pleasantly surprised but leave ultimately dissapointed. Tragically i will go to see this one as well .
On a somewhat related note, i think that the aliens are possibly the coolest sci-fi creations ever put to film.

Agreed. The original AvP would've made a hell of a good movie. Instead we get pyramids in Antarctica, cardboard characters, and bullet-time facehuggers.

Yeah, I was beyond the normal levels of disappointment in the movie. I mean you got a damn gold mine worth of a story line already in place....

As much as I would love to blame Anderson, Fox killed both of these franchises by allowing this shit to happen. It started with Alien 3, which was esentially directed by 60 year old producers. If they only had the rites to Star Wars and Star Trek, we would have already seen the ultimate showdown between Kurk and Vader at Pearl Harbor, with global warming quickly approaching from the west.
