Oh mama. Topher Grace or no Topher Grace (and he wasn’t in this trailer), this looks like it’s going to be awesome.
Lawrence Fishburn. I’m there.
Will definitely watch this, but as a fan of the earlier ones, not sure how I feel about that predator-dog thing I saw.
He is in the trailer–he’s wearing an olive t-shirt with a maroon open-zipper hoodie and glasses (although apparently he loses them along the way).
yeah, my interest went down a few notches as soon as he mentioned new “improved” predators. I mean apart from the previous track record with predaliens and whatnot do they honestly need to be more dangerous, especially given that the title implies that there is going to be more than one of them and the protaganists looks to be your standard scrappy team of mercs.
I’ll see it, and from the look of that trailer I’ll enjoy it as least as much as AVP. (I liked AVP a lot, but thought AVPR was among the worst films of 2007.
I agree that the whole dog predator thing seems stupid. I mean, would we (humans) crossbreed ourselves or alter our own genetic makeup like that? Why would an obviously even more advanced, more vicious, evolutionarily successful race do it? Seems stupid, but maybe they aren’t an “improved” predator, maybe they are just another species on their planet.
Just gonna have to wait and see! 7 July hurry up and get here!
Rodriguez is going to defy our expectations of a Predator movie by including:
A military team in the jungle.
A wise minority character who is respectful/admiring of the Predators but will nonetheless die.
A new predator type, even more badass than what we’ve seen before.
Humans as the ultimate prey.
Multiple predators to up the ante.
Wow. Just when I thought you couldn’t make a Predator movie seem fresh… :rolleyes:
On the other hand, I think Rodriguez is a master at exactly this sort of movie. I’m only really concerned about the above mentioned new/dog/predator thing. I’ve not seen AVP or any of the other predator sequels, but the jungle setting was a huge part of what made predator such a memorable movie. I mean “predator in LA” - who cares - that sort of stuff works if you’re going for a comedy action movie, not when you want to make testosterone fueled bloody cigar chewing gore with loads of ridiculous one liners. I don’t care that it’s not an original idea - didn’t make Aliens a bad movie; do it right, make it intense and over the top and I’ll be watching.
Adrian Brody? The guy with the toothpick arms? WTF?
No kidding. I would have enjoyed King Kong (2005) much, MUCH more if it weren’t for Brody. He really ruined that movie for me. I couldn’t buy him as a hero in that movie and I certainly won’t be able to buy him as a tough guy in this one.
I’m going to assume it’s not a predator crossbreed, because as you say, that would be stupid and beneath them. It could be a native species of whatever world the humans are on, or something the predators found and added to their game reserve to make the hunt more challenging.
I’ll definitely be watching this. Unless they screw up, it’s going to be my sort of movie.
Yeah, but to be fair, that was only done in the first Predator movie. But every appearance thereafter was radically different (and not much for the better, either).
The quadruped doesn’t look anything like a Predator - no mandibles, no dreads, lots of horns & spikes. I’m guessing either a native or another import for hunting.
In another article I read that the dog is just that, a hunting dog. It makes sense that a predator’s bloodhound would look as different from our dogs as predators do from humans. And how cool is it to convey the humans-being-hunted feeling than to have them tracked by a baying hound? Anyways, one predator hunts with a dog, and another predator in the film is a falconer of some sort. Finally, there is supposedly some sort of super-predator in the tradition of the predator from the first movie.
I may be wrong about this, since I can’t actually hear the sound, but from the visuals I got the sense the film may not involve much hot Predator-on-human action (da killingses). I seemed as though there were severqal shots of unarmed humans being, well, not-killed by predators, which makes me wonder if there’s something more going on here. Which would be fine with me.
Can anyone with sound working tell me what’s what?
It’s only two minutes long. Maybe the other 2 hours, 28 minutes is wall-to-wall human killing action.
Or they just don’t want to spoil the good bits until they’ve done the editing work.
Predator is my favorite action flick of all time. Predator 2 is the worst sequel of all time. Arnold gets his ass kicked by the pred and I’m supposed to buy Danny Fucking Glover as a guy that can stand toe to toe with him? Bitch please.
Anyway I wish we would go back to th days when action heros had to be big hulking dude and not this nerdy skinny shit that started with Matrix.
I’m just happy it will be rated R. Anyone who tries to make a Predator movie(or Alien) thats not rated R is completely, totally wrong.
And Danny Trejo and Walton Goggins, who I imagine will be BFF’s. Badassery in spades.
Theatrical Trailer is now available
Oh hell yes.
