Today one of my friends sent me this link and I was shocked.
Trailer will be available on the 18th March. Will update OP then.
I wasn't even aware that movie was in production.
Laurence Fishburne and Adrien Brody- both pretty solid actors.
Please oh please God, let this be the one.
:beg::beg::beg::beg::beg:
Predator with Arnie was the shit.
If you haven't seen this, shoot yourself in the foot. No, not the head you moron. How will you watch it if you shoot yourself in the head? *sigh*
Predator 2 was a joke. Danny Glover should have kept his moustache and stuck to the Lethal Weapon series.
AVP series a HUGEASS Failure. Can you imagine it- the 2nd AVP was sooooooo bad it made the first one(which was quite bad) good! Unbelievable.
I won't even include trailers of these abominations. God save us all.
Give me your thoughts.
Excited about The Predators or scared it will be some new disappointment?
Hmm, I'm not really sure what to expect. I think predator is cool, but mostly because of playing the first pc AVP. I really didn't care for Predator aside from the last 20 minutes or so, never saw 2 and wasn't impressed by the AVP movies.
I may watch Predators if it's free and I'm bored, but certainly wont pay money for it.
Great music and great action. Not the slightest trace of romance in there or anything of the like.
It's blood, muscles and guns. And an alien too. Entertainment at its peak.
You know, as much as I would love for this movie to be incredible, I really don't see that happening.:QQ:
It looks like Robert Rodriguez just grabbed the whole crew from Deathproof and Grindhouse. Granted, those movies aren't bad, but they didn't turn out phenomenal. Okay, I loved Deathproof, but Grindhouse was definitely a blah, junk b-movie.
As for the cast of Predators, everyone is a TV actor minus a couple of moderately big names. Which to me, as an actor, says that this movie is going to be horribly overacted with no true emotion. Of course Danny Trejo is gonna be in it, Robert can't leave out family. Mind you his character's name is Cuchillo, which means knife in spanish. He'll be playing the Sonny Landham part.
Then there are the predator actors. There's 3 of them, and only 1 of them actually has a good history as a costume man, Brian Steel. The 2nd, Carey Jones has always been a techie, and is going to do his debut acting as a Pred, and the 3rd is strictly a tv guy except for his appearance as Jason in the 09 Friday the 13th. Then you throw Topher Grace in there. Christ, that can't be good. It's going to take a lot of directing from Robert for Topher to play a believable normal character. I'll talk about the stars later when I talk about plot.
The production designers have identical resumes, I mean they both did Kill Bill 1/2, Grindhouse, Deathproof, Sin City, Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Spy Kids 2/3, The Faculty, Jackie Brown, and it goes on and on. Tons of sub par, mediocre hokey action flicks. Nothing in that list really screams "difficult costume/set design" aside from Sin City, and most of that was shot on green screen. The PD's don't have any working experience with animatronics and creature construction. You could argue the Faculty, but that was CG, and bad CG at that.
Then there's the writers. Of course Robert Rodriguez had to put his stamp up there, and he did it for a reason. The other two writers are some fresh out of college guys with no experience under their belts at all!!O_O That was my red flag right there.
That finally brings us to plot. Nothing has been released yet, but Lawrence Fishburne is probably going to play the ultimate badass, "Arnie" character. Adrien Brody will play the cool but also kinda nerdy sidekick, he'll probably get killed. They sure as hell better kill Topher Grace in the movie, who will probably be some annoying little brat as usual, or surely it will be a failure of a story. And then of course in every modern action movie, it can't be a show run by the man. There must still be tough girl who kicks and punches just as hard as the guy who weighs 100lbs of muscle more than her. That is played by Alice Braga,(seen in I am Legend and Blindness) and of course, she won't die. Oh I almost forgot, Oleg Taktarov, (Air Force One, 15 minutes) he'll probably play a secondary character, and he'll probably die. But for some reason, I've always liked him as an actor though. I have faith that he will be able to throw in a good performance to balance out some of the weak actors.
Now of course I am going to see the movie in theaters, simply because I am praying for a good sequel. But I honestly think it is going to be a failure, much like AvP.
Movie will be in the theaters today. Reviews have been fairly decent up til now, nothing spectacular but at least they were not downright bad. Do not forget to let us know your thoughts about the movie!
Cheers. :biggrin:
IT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!HUGE SUCCESSS!!!!!!!!!!!!I enjoyed the HELL outta this last night.

The original Predator was done so perfectly that no Predator movie will ever come close. Arnold will always be a legend because of that movie (that's right, I said it. Fuck Terminator )
Not even come close? Lol, the first one wasn't THAT good that nothing could come close, unless your delusional. Because, this second one definitely comes close.

Best line from Predator, "Geez, you got a big pussy! Geez, you got a big pussy!"
I loved the first Predator movie as well. I can still watch it today and really enjoy it. I don't know why everyone hates Predator 2. It wasn't THAT bad. Or at least I should say, how much can one even expect from it to begin with.
Only thing I hate about movies like this is the all-star assembled team that is so standard. You always have the natural leader, the headstrong female, the nerdy computer hacker guy, the big muscle stupid guy, the wise-crackin' black guy, and maybe one or two others that you know won't make it out alive.
I remember when Predator 1 hit the theaters. I went and saw it. Hated the second one. AVP, forget it. I can't believe I wasted a disc burning a copy of it. I don't care how much I like the actors in this one, I doubt I'll see it.

I will just wait till it's on DVD. When that time comes, I will MOST DEFINITELY NOT illegally download it.
I'm not sure they'll stop making Predator or Alien movies any time soon. These movies tend to draw in a reliable number of ticket sales just on the nostalgia factor alone. So it's a reasonably sound investment for movie producers.

My wife works for Dish. She beta tests software, so I get all the channels I want including PPV for free. I'll wait till it hits PPV. It won't take long.

I thought AVP 1 was somewhat good actually... I'll check the trailer, maybe I get into the movies with that
No no, don't shoot me damnit!
Give me back that gun!
Anyways I highly recommend the first Predator and only that one.
Don't bother about the others.
I am hoping that the last one in the series will be good.
*Fingers crossed*
Here's a link to the movie's review and rating.

I'm glad to hear a sequel is in the works, but I must say I have my reservations.

I liked the first AVP movie. The second one was watchable.
from the trailer it looks like it is going to be like the first movie.
