Shane Black Directing Predator Sequel! - Part 1

[TheVileOne]

Doesn't have to be a predator, could be one of the mercs. In fact, I think it would be hilarious if the kid's dad, the lead merc, did it, reinforcing the idea that the humans are bad guys here.

Though it would also be hilarious Munn did it, after the audience is led to believe she will be his protector and the cliché final girl.

Either way, I want the humans to have their butts handed to them, with Gary Busey's character setting off a self destruct system at their black site at the climax and the predator escaping before they all blow up.

I don't think the movie ends with Predator winning

 

[Doctor Jones]

This trailer makes this movie look generic. Either Fox doesn't know how to cut a Shane Black Predator film or Black missed the mark. I'm thinking it's the former. You can see the Shane Black qualities in there and Holbrook looks charismatic but I can see the better film in there.

Questions after watching the trailer...

Whats the deal with the kid? Why is someone sending him Predator toys through the mail?

Does this movie look a little too much like AvP:R to anyone else?

Did they really cast Olivia Munn as a scientist?

 

[Aximili86]

Predators don't kill children.

I guess theoretically it's a possibility, if the crafty little bugger's armed and trying to take him out, picking up someone's weapon or something. But yeah, seems unlikely.

Been a while since I've seen Predator 2 - the train sequence, I can't remember if he takes out innocents in that or just the cops? Doesn't seem like anyone else there was any threat to him or worthy of being labelled "sport/game".

In Predator 2, when he enters the subway, he pretty much kills anyone that raises a gun against him. Police, thugs and civilians alike. So it doesn't matter whether or not you make good sport. If you pose a threat, you make the list.

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, that's sort of how I've always taken it. So on paper, if the kid in this picked up one of daddy's dead buddy's guns and pointed it at ol' Dreadlocks, he'd be fair game.

Doubt they'd do it though.

Yeah that's why Dutch kicks the gun out of Anna's arms when she picks it up in the first Predator, as the Present would have then gone for her.

 

[lime]

That teaser pretty much confirmed for me that the movie will suck.

 

[wampa1]

Trailer was vanilla as hell. I also hate 'hybrid' and 'upgrade' stuff. I don't think it has ever worked in any film ever.

 

[cyclone]

It might as well be a Michael Bay movie. Explosions everywhere, bigger, badder, smarter Predators. It's comical. In fact, I'm sure in a Simpsons episode they joke about how Hollywood literally sit there and say "It needs to be bigger! more explosions! they're smarter! faster!" etc. It's such a joke.

A great Predator film can be made again with 1 original Predator. Doesn't need an upgrade, doesn't need an army or fellow Predators, none of that fancy BS just to make a buck.

If the writer/director needs to use those cheap cop-outs to make the film, they don't understand what makes the Predator such a good 'bad guy' and certainly don't deserve to be given the opportunity to make a Predator film.

I just worry it'll be so bad, it'll bury Predator for good. Well. Maybe 10 or so years.

And yea. Cast the hot chick as a teacher/scientist. Honestly....it's so comically bad it's unreal.

You know what I would love to see? A Predator who barely has any gear to rely on. Take the Predator crash landing plot, put him into a military facility, and the movie would be about the Predator trying to break out, while everyone else tries to survive and also has to prevent the Predator from escaping the facility. During such a scenario I wouldn't mind the Predator using human weapons, after he tore through the security personnel.

... Dammit, that sounds good.

 

[cyclone]

... Dammit, that sounds good.

Yep, I'd watch that.

And look! It's 1 Predator! And he's NOT been embiggened with hybrid DNA from animals!

See?

It's easy.

But alas......

 

[Nathan]

Basically the Raid with a Predator. None of the bigger, better, faster, stronger nonsense. Just a regular Predator, stripped off his gear, and he'll show you he's still capable of tearing you and everyone around you a new one.

I got a little tingly when I read that

This sounds better than what we are getting so far.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

This trailer sure didn’t instill any confidence which SUCKS. I had really high hopes for this with Shane Black and Fred Dekker on board, but maybe Shane Black is just a total hit or miss with me. It just looks so...generic. And that makes me a severely sad panda.

 

[SWAT]

So, Holbrook finds crashed ship. Takes mask and gauntlet. Sends it home to himself. Son opens the package. Activates distress signal. Feces hits fan?

Bring on the red- band trailer. Sooner rather than later.

 

[guitarsingerguy]

The only positive I can say is that at least I can see wtf is going on unlike...what was it...Requiem??? That’s the one that was so dark you couldn’t even make out if there were people in the shot right?

 

[Ipodman]

I have a feeling studios are not showing anything we wanna see in the Teaser so that when the actual Trailer comes out with the money shot, it would feel leaps and bounds better

 

[chaseter]

Why do Predators have distress signals? I thought they were badasses that die with honor if they fail?

The Venom syndrome basically?

 

[TheDreamMaster]

I think it’s clean up purposes. Same reason they have the bombs too, to kill their prey but wipe out traces of what they were hunting too. Don’t want your prey getting your stuff and getting better than you, right?

 

[Ipodman]

The Venom syndrome basically?

Yeah...

But what else can they show us of the Predator that would make us go wow?

And I totally get why people are calling this another AVPR. I actually like the 2 AVP movies... tbh I never thought any of the Predator movies were cinematic accomplishments (of Alien level)

Thats my guess.
Seemed pretty clear.
