The sci-fi genre is on everyone’s playlist right now. Not only are they informative and entertaining, they often leave the viewers hooked on to it. Over the years, we have witnessed how the genre has grown massively. However, there often are projects that not only define the genre entirely but also manage to stay so vibrant over the long run. Fitting the bill was Alien vs Predator, perhaps one of the most successful films of all time. However, what if we tell you there is a whole anime series on the film?

Premiered back in 2004, Alien vs Predator took the world by storm when it first made its way to our screens. Not only was the film highly successful, but it also became a sensation among the fans. If you too were a fan of the show, it might surprise you to know that Disney apparently has a finished anime series based on the film. However, the studio is apparently keeping the series under lock and key. Previously, during an episode of Perfect Organism Podcast, producer Joshua Izzo shed some light on the topic as he spoke about the anime.

As reported by IGN, Izzo revealed, “There is, sitting at Disney now, at 20th Studios, 10 episodes of a fully completed Alien vs. Predator anime series that I produced.” He revealed that he pitched the idea to multiple creative heads at the studio. Izzo added that it was around the time when Alien Covenant was still at its early stage and Predator was yet to come out.

DIVE DEEPER

Meanwhile, why Disney is not releasing the animation series is unknown. At the same it is even rare for a franchise to shelve a completely developed series that too based on such an incredibly popular film.

What is Alien vs Predator film about?

Directed by Paul Anderson, Alien vs Predator first made its way to our screens in 2004. The sci-fi film follows the story of scientists caught in the crossfire of battle between aliens and predators in an attempt to find an escape. The film stars some popular faces including, Sanaa Lathan, Lance Henriksen and Ian Whyte. Alien vs Predator was a critical and commercial success and later on got a new installment in 2007, Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that two new Alien vs Predator projects, a film and a TV series, are in the works. However, still the big question remains. Will we ever see the crossover between the anime series and the film?
