Go PRIMEVAL In Glorious QuickTime!!
Merrick here...
Not so long ago, we ran the one sheet for a project called PRIMEVAL. You can see it HERE.
The film stars Dominic Purcell (PRISON BREAK & once rumored to be the next HULK), Orlando Jones, and Jurgen Prochnow (DUNE, DAS BOOT, THE KEEP). Michael Katleman is directing (SMALLVILLE, TAKEN, and DARK ANGEL for television - he has a ton of interesting credits).
It's about a bad-ass "serial killer" who is (apparently?) not human. You can click HERE for a spoiler about what it is.
The film's trailer is now live over at Apple, which means you can enjoy it in all forms of Glorious QuickTime. While it's a very competent trailer & may make for a fun movie...is it just me, or does this material resemble about nine trillion other horror trailers right now? I think they're following some sort of template when editing these things...
GO!!!

there

Is turning into nu-action. WAY too many horror movies, all ripping each other off... wait, sounds like old school slasher. My bad. At any rate, how about making a horror movie that is actually, I dunno, scary? Horrifying? Terrifying? Shocking? Alien, Silence of the Lambs and Seven are the last good horror films. And they're not even horror films. We need something new and original. Giant crocs are fun, sure, but giant killer animals in general has been done to death. No pun intended. That being said, I'll be first in line for a ticket to see Meg or Extinct if they ever get made. Giant sharks don't get old.

Oh Ghaa
and a
Whaaa?!
-
What a shite trailer that was - this film is going to suck
-
no more horror/slasher/yada yada films. for 5 years. then somebody will come back with something awesome and the genre will be revived. oh, and no costume designers are allowed to reinforce typecasting by putting the actors in wardrobe that at this point is almost funny: lead, scruffy sexy; lead female, scruffy hot pants; sidekick, urban street wear; and so on.
-
These trailers are starting to make full.
-
no spell check button.
-
Couldn't have cared less. Who wants another one of these kind of horror films? Not me.
-
The black always dies first.
Oh and keith david sould do more voice-over's for trailer's -
I am just having a bad day Writing these post-up.
-
Just for posting the damn stupid link to the damn stupid movie?
-
...in africa. Meh. Count me out. Wake me up when someone decides to do another decent monster movie.
-
Rogue looks like a better prospect.
-
is. Classy, I wonder how long that will last. I'm sure as the studio gets nervous about money they'll throw that thing as the first thing in the trailer. And I'm figuring that if it's not human than it's just hunting for food, in which case I'm one of the largest chicken serial killers ever.

What's with the black guy wearing sports outfits....
by powereduppacman
...in these kind of movies? Football wearing homeboy = the new token black guy? At least you won't be seeing me in hip Nike shirts on a gawdanged safari! (and I mean the American black guy. Not the African one covered in mud)
-
Seriously: A great idea! The audience will love or hate it!
-
Haven't been paying attention to this story, is he no longer the next hulk then?
-
...with a crocodile and no cool 1800's stuff? Why the heck are they going with the serial killer nonsense? Animals aren't serial killers. Why couldn't they just make it an evolved dinosaur and tie this movie into the legends of Mokele-mbembe?
-
this is the sequal to Lake Placid (I checked IMDB).
It follows Bridget Fonda's daughter down to Africa where she helped release the child of the Lake Placid beast into the wild a few years ago, and she has to go back to kill it. They cast Michael Caine as a wily bush pilot. -
as opposed to a Wily Under-Cover-CIA-Agent-Posing-As-A-Pilot-Oh-Wait-My-Scenes-Got-Cut-Just-A-Wily-Pilot? God I love Jaws: The Revenge. The shark screams! It's like a T-Rex :D
-
When are you gonna change the friggin' background already!?! Seriously... July was 5 months ago!
-
You guys are cracking me up. I'm having flashbacks to the Jaws: The Revenge Nintendo game where at the end you have to ram the shark just right with the boat. Or better yet, the even more retarded ending to the retarded movie. And I too will be in line opening night if Meg ever gets made.
-
If it isn't human?
-
... Lake Placid?... Didn't it suck enough back then?
-
Wikipedia says it was renamed "Gustave". Huh?
-
is pretty much the alligator's (or croc, whatever) toilet pit.
-
and they should get rid of Real Media, Windows Media, and all the other crap standards that makes watching video on the computer painful. The movie sorta reminds me of Anaconda (with the pre-diva Lopez) in that it doesn't seem very scary, thrilling, exciting or interesting but which is supposed to be all those things.
-
could you (HARRY & the gang)
PLEASE change it out now and then?
(like every month or so?)
Talk about getting STAGNET. -
am i missing something?
perhaps it's just the nature of my graphic artist self? -
In fact, nowadays he's usually the one who makes it. Sure, Samuel L. Jackson got it in Deep Blue Sea but they had a spare black guy and he was one of two who lived. It helped that he's a rapper. Ice Cube? He and JLo survived Anaconda. And a black woman? Forgettabouttit. They never die.
-
Pretend you're a studio guy. You have a gigantic crocodile movie. How do you market said movie? I'm hoping that 'release a trailer and poster that specifically claim it's a prolific serial killer and based on a true story' would be about dead last on the list, just after 'paint it as a family-friendly musical fantasy'. What kind of fucked up, retarded, marketing douchelord (thank you, Onion) came up with this idea? The few people who stumble into this expecting a serial killer movie will be screaming for a refund as soon as the reptile shows up. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
-
forelash. And an animal can't be a serial killer, you choads.
-
'cos all that mad sickness is phat.
-
Where's the guy from the company who wants to bring it back for the bio-weapons division?
-
......one can't help but be amazed in equal measure at this choad's (Brandon whats-his-name Fuckface serialposter)persistence in shilling his piece of crap movie, as well as the at the guy's sheer stupidity. AICN should just get a bot that deletes any post that references that piece of crap regurgitation while simultaneously deleting the poster account and banning him. It's not that hard to do nowadays.
-
Damn you Michael Bay
-
spoiler.
-
Does anyone else think this looks like Tremors?
-
Looks horrid. But I want more Keith David doing voiceovers. That I agree with.
-
I see what you are saying. But it's orlando jones(the FREAKIN!!! 7-UP guy.). So he gonna die first.
-
It must also have ...hands...be able to fly...and have an army of evil henchmen.
-
Looks lke another giant Alligator/Crocodile movie. It's great hoe hollywood comes up with these fresh ideas. I mean we have never seen people hunting for and getting eaten by a giant reptile before! This ought to be good huh? Lake Placid, Crocodile 1 and 2, Blood Surf, killer crocodile... Yeha original ideas are great!
-
...is a term that does not appear in the vocabulary of Hollywood. 95% of what you get to see on the screen these days is either a remake, an adaptation (book, game, whatever), inspired by 'real events' or downright stolen from previous successes. It's futile to be critical about how 'original' Hollywood is today. At least I've given up complaining about it.
-
its lke placid, there is some cheapy croc flick that was dumped on to DVD within the past month. i cannot rememeber the name of the movie. This film looked new.
-
There are two primevals. one is a tv show starring Douglas Henshall and ex-S club seven person Hannah Spearitt and this film starring Orlando Jones. UK's Primeval is due to Air in the UK in jan 07 and it has something to do with a team lead by proffessor Cutler. After strange anomalies appear all over the UK cutler and his team have to track and capture deadly prehistoric creatures from earth distant past. In one ep the team have to deal with the Mecca-thatchsaurus, The whiteicus housus Marysaruas and perhaps the scariest dinosaur of them all the Bernardius Manningsauraus just as fercious is jimicus Davidson rex.
-
Africa, a person was killed by a crocodile. True story. Look it up.
-
"It must also have ...hands...be able to fly...and have an army of evil henchmen." Hahaha! Very nice! ~ Stiffy
-
aicn is fuckin useless. lazy bastards.
-
all those mass graves in Africa weren't ethnic cleansing; they were just a serial-killing monster. The UN must be breathing a sigh of relief.
-
"A news team is sent to South Africa to capture and bring home a legendary 25-foot crocodile." Now is it just me or is this THE way to go.. Send a NEWS team to catch a 25 foot long croc? How about the sequel to this being "PRIMEVAL 2 : The Queer eye for a straight guy team are sent to Australia to capture and bring home a legendary 34-foot white shark that killed 48 shark specialists and hunters. The team will try to nab the great white by diverting his attention with dressing up a 20 foot white shark in matching Armani shirt and pants with incredible Friekesen cuffs."... Now THAT would make me want to pay to see that!!
-
I would be so up for Meg though, as long as they change that ending, it just wouldn't work on film.
-
Awesome to hear Keith David in anything. They should make a Gargoyles live-action movie... with the original cast.
-
Seriously. Fuck apple and it's hipster retard bradning. I'ts just H.264 wrapped in a completely proprietary format. There is nothing glorious about that. Fuck, I hate the quicktime.
-
Just had to say it. It's a sad step up from RealMedia, but lacks the full functionality of windows media. I like my video full screen, wit5h no borders or controls in the way. Can't get that with lousy quicktime. Fuck apple and everything to do with it.
-
This is actually based on a factual event. I forgot which country in Africa it was, but this nile croc WAS a human serial killer. It would kill people and not eat them. It just plain hated people. It had killed hundreds, was going to beaches near the urban centers, and always eluded being killed. It was also very smart. There was this huge documentary about these French people who tried to capture it. They actually did locate the sucker and he was larger then the vast majority of salt water crocs that Steve Erwin tangled with (which is pretty damn impressive for a nile croc). This croc even killed Hippos. Now if you know anything about Hippos, thats a big fucking deal. Hippos break most crocs in half, literally, with their jaws. Eventually their funding/time ran out and the croc was never seen again. It was assumed that the Army (which was nearby during the capture attempt) killed it after capture failed, but this was never confirmed or denied AFAIK.

and Alientoast was right. this fucker if BIG. Great doc if you're into real stories of killer crocs. -
Hippos kill more people every year than any other animal in Africa. Why else aren't they showing it? They're embarrassed with their own monster.
-
WTF is the DVD release? Is it too much to ask?
-
Still waiting for the DVD... only the trailer to hold us out.

Hippos kill more humans than lions do. Look it up if you don't believe me. I saw it on TV so it must be true.
