Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is a 2007 American science fiction action film directed by the Brothers Strause. This film serves as a sequel to the 2004 release, Alien vs. Predator, and constitutes the second installment in the Alien vs. Predator franchise. I was responsible for creating the key visual elements for the promotional campaign in Japan. The campaign adhered to the established color scheme of blue and green from the previous film. Additionally, it is noteworthy that the movie title was modified to AVP 2 for the Japanese market.
