Alien & Predator Marathon

The insignia for the Alien & Predator Marathon features the emblem for the Weyland-Yutani Corporation prominently displayed at the top. All aspects of life revolve around the Company. The Company is first and foremost. Everything else is secondary. Human lives are meaningless to the Company. Crews are expendable.

The marathon's name is below the Weyland-Yutani logo, the two components written in each series' respective typeface. Below that are Predator glyphs that spell out the tagline for Alien vs. Predator: "Whoever wins, we lose." Never mind how forgettable that particular chapter of the franchise is, its tagline is appropriate for both series as a collective whole.

The eight movies that make up the two days of the marathon are depicted along the bottom sides.

Press Release

The official press release for the Alien & Predator Marathon:

• • •

Tuesday, July 20, 2010.

Alien and Predator. Two films that, under normal circumstances, would never have crossed over into one another's universe. They wouldn't have, if a set decorator on Predator 2 had not snuck an alien xenomorph's skull into a trophy wall on the Predator spacecraft as a joke. After that the fanbase took over and the two series have become increasingly more intertwined ever since.

This will be a two-part marathon. Day I will be Saturday, June 24 and will feature the four films of the Alien series. Day II will be Saturday, July 31 and will focus on the two Predator movies as well as the two Alien vs. Predator films. Start time for both days is at 3:00 PM. • • •

The Alien & Predator Marathon is to be held at Josh’s House. Marathon dates: DAY I: Saturday, July 24 – Alien. DAY II: Saturday, July 31 – Predator & AvP.

Particulars: Marathon guest list is open registry. Marathon format is set schedule. Marathon type is single series. Marathon length is 16 hours total.
