Many scenes were changed from the early drafts and some scenes were cut down for budget reasons. Comic-book artists were hired to help the Strauses with their storyboards. Fox had already decided to go down the small town route by the time the Strauses came aboard. Writer Shane Salerno wrote an early pitch for the film where the Predator ship crashed in Afghanistan and the movie revolved around a special forces team. They were hired do do a direct sequel to Alien vs Predator in Spring 2006 and they had a short amount of time before production began. When AvP2 came up, they thought they’d be perfect for the role as it had a limited budget and their background in visual effects would help them land the job. The Strause Brothers originally pitched an idea for the first Alien vs Predator film. Hydraulx has worked on many blockbusters and they directed many advertisements and music videos.

The Strause Brothers worked on the X-Files movie in 1995 and then founded their own visual effects company Hydraulx. Meanwhile, a group of townspeople must work together to survive. A lone Predator is sent from the Predator homeworld to destroy the aliens and the hybrid.

The hybrid escapes along with many Facehuggers and the whole town is overrun. The movie takes place straight after the first AvP when the Predalien causes a scout ship to crash onto a small town in Colorado called Gunnison.
