Predators movie website online

Check out the sneak preview.

Dude with a minigun. Wearing a VDV white n blue striped undershirt. Ohhhhh yeah ...................

Notably they did not go with an Arnie clone because they thought they couldn't really beat Arnie so they went in an entirely different direction and got Adrien Brody instead.

A new Predator movie? Nice, didn't knew there was one coming. I didn't had sound when I played the sneak preview but it looks like it's going to be Predator with but with more Predators. The first movie had 1 Predator going against a group of humans. This movie has multiple Preds going against a group of humans, and I'm afraid that the Preds will get nerfed.

Would have been cooler if they made one with Preds going against Colonial Marines.

Or failing that

Screw the Colonial Marines. That'd make it an Aliens vs Predator movie, and that franchise can go get fucked. They ruined goodwill for the franchise when they insisted that both movies take place in the dumbest possible setting.

Anyway, its "Predators" to Predator what "Aliens" was to Alien - that's the intent :)

Yeah, I was shocked when AvP took place on Earth in Antarctica instead of the traditional Aliens setting w/ predators. The films couldn't have been worse, honestly.

As for "Predators", remaking a movie 25 years later seems "too soon", especially since other elements of the franchise are alive and kicking. The cast seems fine, but I'm not sold on a lot of the dialogue seen in that trailer.
A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.

At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.

The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'

'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

True that. Hell, imagine how cool it would have been if they did an Colonial vs Predator on Pandora from Avatar.

Uhm, given the director color me sceptical. What cameron did for aliens was a total remake with a whole universe added to the original.
This, simply, is not.

Predators is taking place on a planet they're using as a game preserve.

The trailer has someone mention that the planet is like a "game preserve" or something. I think the characters were all abducted and place in some alien planet for the Preds to hunt.

Oh ok. I didn't catch that.

Well, El Mariachi was a pretty good movie and Desperado was a decent but still inferior English remake of it. From Dusk Till Dawn has a nice basic idea and some good Tarantino dialogue, but after you realize what is happening it's just another vampire killing movie. Sin City was OK but not great. That's about it for Rodriguez.

Some of the dialogue in there seemed a bit cheesy, but at least they're harking back more to the original than the godawful AvP shit.

All they said was that "Mr Black" is some sort of "super" pred, that doesn't mean he's going to jump over mountaintops, my bet is on him being the token "Waaay, way more experienced than the other assholes" Level 21 Predator. :P

Some stuff from leaked script.
Spoiler
Mmm, I read some of the leaked script, theres some sort of schism/conflict, with "standard" preds getting their arse kicked by super-duper enhanced preds with high tech mini-guns etc. IIRC, the script is literally steaming with " OMG he's so much more badass and awesome than the others who are nothing to this new pred"

I got more of a "we crash-landed our ship in the wrong planet" kind of vibe. Woah, now I'm getting flashes of a Pitch Black / Predator crossover. Man, Riddick vs Predator would be awesome.

And fuck super-whatevers. The only upgrade I find tolerable are badass Preds like the old Predator in Predator2, or the Mr.Wolf Predator in AvP2.

Easy enough to achieve. Take shots of the Predator blasting Blain in the back and cut in footage of Vin Diesel dying from sniper fire in Saving Private Ryan. Done.

As for Predators. Meh, we'll see. The styles of things like Sin City and Once Upon A Time in Mexico do not blend well with Predator for me. Maybe Predator 2 with a lot more talking of the humans between kill crazy rampages.

This sounds like Cube with predators ... and super predators. :roll: I do not have very high hopes, but I hope I am surprised.

And Topher Grace. Don't forget Topher Grace. I mean if it takes Ah-nuld, Apollo Creed, Jesse "I ain't got time to bleed" Ventura and Sonny Landham to kill one Predator then those two must be able to take down...like...20 of them plus Super Predator.
Yeah this can't go wrong.

Well, it surely can't turn out much worse than AvP. They'd have to be putting all their effort into making it as shit as possible for that to happen.
