Robert Rodriguez's PREDATORS officially confirmed today!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Yeah, you read that right. PREDATORS. Bloody Disgusting got the scoop back in January, but it is official now. Robert Rodriguez is doing a film called PREDATORS, which he's calling a reboot to the series. I'm hoping it's more reboot and less remake. Anyone remember the Predator script Rodriguez did back in the '90s that never got made? The one that had Dutch scooped up and taken to the PREDATOR homeworld? That was also called PREDATORS, so I wonder how much of that script will be in his reboot. I love the idea of the Predators collecting up various aliens that have defeated a Predator and pitting them against each other for combat's sake. We can't get Dutch 'cause Schwarzenegger's too busy being a respectable citizen now and Danny Glover probably wouldn't work in this aspect, but we can have a good starring role for a new badass. The question remains... how much, if any, of Rodriguez's previous script will make it into this movie, how will he shoot it (real sets or greenscreen) and when will it happen... All good questions. I have reached out to Robert trying to get some answers. We'll see if he responds. I'll let you know! -Quint quint@aintitcool.com Follow Me On Twitter

Stan Winston's original designs, and Alan Silvestri's theme, I'm there. If not...then, I'm not. Hope it's the former...
-
WHERES THE OTHER 5 FILMS HE SUPPOSED TO DIRECT?
-
Can it?
-
OH SNAP DIGGITY FRESH SON THAT'S HOT!!!
-
less spy kids... after the crappy AvPs, we need a proper, R rated predator film that doesn't suck.
-
DO IT.
-
...Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson! YOU KNOW YOU WANT THIS TO HAPPEN!
-
I'm psyched, and a real film maker to boot.
-
that was a great comic
-
Everything about that first film is grade-A badassery: Dutch's crew, the predator, the music, the effects and dialogue that will flip you around and rape you ("I ain't got time to bleed"). Re-release into theaters and it will hold its own against any two-bit imitator nowadays. McTiernan's film owns you and you know it.
-
so that he can star in the movie
-
DON'T. SUCK.
-
Make it happen Robert!
-
Alan Silvestri is the only choice for the score! Rodriguez, be a geek like you were on Planet Terror!
-
i just don't see him making the right choices and pulling it off. he's a B-movie director, and not the good kind. i sure hope he proves me wrong tho!
-
While this is positive news, Rodriguez has like 8 projects lined up right now. Even if he was completly locked for the project and the studio gaurunteed it would finance it, which isn't yet the case, it would still be several years before he could start filming this as he has many projects scheduled before this one.
-
Fuck, you are right. I'd be the first in line to watch it on the silver screen again! That would make most of those films today look like piles of shizzle.
-
Lawsuits be damned. McTiernan was the best action director back in his prime. Predator, Die Hard, Hunt For Red October, all great action movies! <p> Hell, even Last Action Hero was enjoyable!
-
Like fuck she did.
-
This is the vehicle that could truly launch him.
-
That would be cool. We've had a white guy and a black guy now we need spanish guy. Just imagine this phrase spoken by Bandaras "what are you looking at pussy face?" There you go.
-
ABKing would agree with me. Rambo vs. Predator. GET TO DA CHOPPAH!!!!
-
So would any of the badasses in the Expendables.
-
Opening up the whole Predator Mythology could be a goldmine of inspiration. The action scenes could be good. Just no more of that stuff like in Desparado, the guy with the broken leg throwing himself off a roof to his death, just to fire a few shots was just dumb.
-
there just aren't bad fucking ass movies like that being made anymore.
-
they need to completely wipe away any trace of Disney that has collected on him over the last couple of his films.
-
AvP franchise sucks BIG TIME, especially AVPR. Good that Predators is going forward. Now all we need is a continuation of the Alien series. :)
-
"Well this is definitely the work of professionals. I'd guesstimate Predator hunt squad. Four, maybe five strong."
-
that's too bad I actually enjoyed those movies- of course there was room for improvement but maybe the 3rd time coulda been the charm!
-
This is indeed terrific news. But don't get your hopes up too far just yet. How many film projects have we been told have been "confirmed" or "greenlighted" only to see them drift away like clouds on a windy day. Rodriguez and his projects are not immune to this. This does give me something to hopefully look forward to, but I don't really start believing ANYTHING until I see photos from the set!
-
I expect this as much as I expect Machete, Red Sonja, Sin City 2, Barbarella, The Jetsons, Madman, and any of the other 100 he's announced that I'm not remembering.
-
no Barberella or the Jetsons
-
Predator 2's cast was completely different anyway, so why not do the same again and make this the third? It'd be better than all this remake crap.
-
Or Peter Scolari?
-
Superman? Sure. Johnson playing opposite a planet full of Predators? WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT OFFER THE GUY? Nothing. He's tried so hard to shed the wrestler image, and a flick where he has next to no dialogue would not only not help in that pursuit, but it'd set him farther back than he was when he started out in the Scorpion King. If Dwayne is gonna get a action role, IT HAS to let him showcase his charisma as well. And the Superman reboot would be a perfect fit.
-
Fuck those abominations I wanted to see the Predator homeworld since I was fucking 10 reading Dark Horse comics (Keeping Portland Weird btw). This is it though, If Robert Rodriguez can't make an awesome Predator movie then I'm done with the franchise...FOREVER
-
...vs. Predator. Greatest movie ever. And of course Rose McGowan will be in there somewhere.
-
Look, everyone likes Predator. You show me someone who doesn't, and I'll show you a commie. Rodriguez could certainly direct a quality "re~boot". Just be sure it's for the fans, and not for kids.
-
but he'd be a great Captain Marvel! he looks just like the character!
-
great idea antonphd...ha ha..i can totally hear it done in his flonase bee accent. "hwat are ju lookink at a-poosy face?'
-
AvPR had lots of gore and nastiness, and sucked. How about going back to the tension and fear and great characters that made the originals great?
-
that the south american cultures where aided/inspired by the predator race? too bad avp's kinda mangled that up. but i figure rob rod will instill as much mexican pride as he can into a new predator movie...so we'll probably see another temple

HOW ABOUT CHRISTIAN BALE INVADES PREDATOR HOMEWORLD, SOLO
by BringingSexyBack
Movie ends with Bale wearing the king Predator's skin, looking out at the holocaust he has wrought upon this species.
-
Jason Statham is bad-ass, he NEEDS to be the lead!
-
how many dumbasses actually think the MACHETTE trailer was real? idiots. with that out of the way, this sounds like good news
-
But none have seen the light of day.
-
fighting the predetors
-
I'd love to see an AVP movie that doesn't have humans at all! just some subtitled predator dialogue, a total hunt movie! the story could just be about a young predator going on his first hunt. throwing humans/earth into the mix is not needed!
-
Does anyone really think this will end well?
-
Do this documentary-style, so we can appreciate the Predators' travails and tribulations.
-
Slap a wig on Kurt Angle and there's your Captain Marvel. But the world would not be kind to a superhero movie starring two wrasslers.
-
He has the look. He has the charisma. He has what it takes to update the character. HE IS THE ONE, WACHOWSKIS!!!
-
I'd pay $11 to see that. But we'll see Will Smith as James Bond before that would happen.
-
He is a great, smart actor...even when he doesn't speak.
-
That would be kinda cool.
-
What a perfect film for Rodriguez to get Arnold in since he thought back in the 90's that he could pull out a great performance in Arnie. Arnie also told Fox producer John Davis he would love to do more PREDATOR films. If Arnie isn't too busy with TRUE LIES 2 for Fox, maybe he will agree to work with Rodriguez if he shoots in California and if the script is on the level of John McTiernan's PREDATOR film.

predetors develop scuba gear technology and hunt jaws
by hellcametofrogtown
-
avp style..just a few subtitles here and there, that would kick so much ass!
-
im sooooooooooooo fucking happyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
-
With Christian Bale as Klaatu. <P> Klaatu: "Klaatu barada nikto." <P> Predator: "Roar roar roar roar!!!" <P> Klaatu: "No. Klaatu barada nikto." <P> Predator: "Roar roar roar roar!!!" <P> Klaatu: *Sighs* "No,you fucking amateur. Klah ... Too ... Buh ... Rah ... Dah ... Nick ... Toe." <P> Predator: "Roar roar roar roar!!!"
-
Please please please,no ADI. Let Stan Winston studios do the costumes. FOX needs to throw some REAL money at this.
-
id make a predator film with a predator as the main lead..shit would be sickkkkk
-
He has about 100 movies in the pipeline. Sorry to say, but only half of the movies he mentioned will actually be made. Remember, he was going to do that Red Sonja movie, and look what happened. The Jetson Movie will never happen. Sin City 2, will happen(cause he has to) and so will Machete(by public demand). Not sure about Predators. I'll give that 50/50, cause Rodriguez is the second most efficient director working today, behind Eastwood.
-
...who played "Keamy" the soldier in LOST? <p>He looks like he could kill a predator. He is 6'7" tall and very muscular...and is playing a big fat guy in the new WOLVERINE movie. </p> <p>My list for the protaganist: </p> <p> Thomas Jane </p> <p> Keamy from LOST </p> <p> Hugh Jackman </p> Mark Walhberg </p> <p>Daniel Craig </p> <p>Gerald Butler </p> Any ideas?
-
He doesn't get enough roles. The Mist was fucking awesome.
-
What are they gonna do, make the Predators look different? Hire a new "Dutch"? Just make it function as a sequel, not a reboot. Don't restart the continuity - it's too easy to make the franchise "start over" without really restarting it anyway! Just let this be a new Predator hunt.
-
Gerard Butler would be great too. He and Thomas Jane should team up against Craig Predator.
-
I can't take another 'PG-13' neturing of a franchise.
-
Please. Set it on the E.T. planet or something, really sick of Earth.
-
The ending of the first movie could be used as a setup for a rematch of Dutch (abducted to Predator world or some neutral planet) going up against the next badass Predator champion. <P> Unfortunately, as mentioned by others, Arnold won't be doing it. <P> That leaves . . . Roland Kickinger as Dutch.
-
Robert Rodriguez only takes pride in how cheap he can make a movie for and how many of the jobs he can do himself. He takes no pride in the actual quality of the film. <p> Rodirguez has absolutely no respect for the movie going audience, because if he did, he would spend as much money as it takes to deliver a first class production and he would surround himself with the very best crew money can buy. Instead of smerking and slapping himself on the back about how he can make a movie for no money, he ought to be fighting tooth & nail on behalf of his audience to secure an adequate budget. I get no enjoyment watching a second rate blue screen movie made on the cheap in Rodriguez's backyard. I am however impressed when a filmmaker tries everything humanly possible to deliver a great, believible, unique cinemagoing experience (ala James Cameron). <p> It still cost over 10 bones to go to the theater, whether the movie is made for a million or 200 million, so unless we the audience are getting a discount, I don't care how cheap you made your movie for, because you know what Robert (?), it looks it! Matter of fact I'd like to know where all the money went because it sure didn't go into a finely crafted film. <p> If Rodriguez cared about making sure the audience was getting their money's worth, he would not be doing the writing, editing, producing, music, set design and shooting himself, using horrible digital cameras in his backyard whith a blue sheet strung up on cloths lines and doing the effects on his home Mac. Yeah, he's talented, technically, so what? Cameron is more talented I guarantee you but he wisely gets a top notch crew to execute something Rodriguez really doesnt have, that's a vision. <p> Please give Predator to someone who intend to make a great film, who cares about delivering supreme filmmaking to the audience, not someone whom merely intend on making a cheap forgettable flick. I'd much rather see a name like Roland Emmerich attatched to this because I know he would at least do everything in his power to deliver the goods to the fans.
-
Seriously, if Apocalypto-style is what you want, have Rudy be the hunted who becomes the hunter.
-
You're one ugly motherfucker, bub! Rodriguez, like his pal Tarantino, has become seriously overrated in my opinion.
-
TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENS.
-
only sunavbitch tough enough to take on a predator
-
Ain't nobody understand the words coming out of your mouths!
-
Only on Bravo. Watch what happens.
-
NO I DON'T remember that script 'cuz I didn't know it existed along with all the other dream scripts like Conan Crown of Iron & Dracula vs. Sherlock Holmes...dammit

sounds good. but Predator is the greatest film of all time
by BMacSmith
so dont fuck it up
-
hadda do it. you know you agree too.
-
...but i totally second tom cruise and I have no idea why. I think maybe its because everyone shit on him so bad and he disappeared long enough that I'd love to see him in some interesting projects. The circle of life has been completed and I think the public is ready to get back on his side. He's like fucking bell bottoms...
-
There's only one man alive that stands a chance against a planet full of Predators and that man is Chav Fucking Chelios! <p> Either that or Kenny Fucking Powers. <p> Okay, but whoever he is he's gotta have Fucking in his name somewhere.
-
. . . are we?
-
...would actually be a great idea! The movie APOCALYPTO was very good...and he was the entire reason! Maybe the film could deal with the Predators capturing a young Mayan human...taking him to their planet...and playing THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME (like the famous short story). <p>I would love to watch that film! </p>
-
Twitter: The place where nobody cares what the fuck your doing. Twitter: Home of Narcissistic cock suckers. Twitter: For people who think the internet is their therapist. Twitter: Not even useful during Z-day. Twitter: You still don't get that people don't care what the fuck you are doing.
-
One of them was enough. The Spirit was just like Frank Miller hitting you over the head with a frying pan shouting "HAD-ENOUGH-YET?! *BANG* HAD-ENOUGH-YET?!" <p>I'd only be interested in a sequel if it were less of a video game.
-
Here's Rodriguez's actual statement, which AICN might have been wiser to post in full: "I'm going to be able to shoot my upcoming 'Machete' here, a sci-fi action film called 'Nerverackers,' a re-boot of the 'Predator' series called 'Predators,' and a couple of smaller movies called 'Sin City 2' and 'The Jetsons,'" he told the press. No sign of Red Sonja or Barbarella, but I feel like the latter is dead and I thought Rodriguez was only producing the former.
-
It would be awesome for Glover to do a cameo as the grizzled former Predator killer. He could be all old and crazy, having talked about Predators but no one believed him.

Reboot has become such a buzzword that they aren't reboots anymo
by TallBoy66
Terminator: Salvation is called a reboot. That movie is not a reboot, it's a sequel. (It takes place after Judgement Day in the future, that's a sequel.) So I have no idea what they mean by reboot anymore.
-
I hate cut off headlines.
-
For fuck's sake, didn't Rodriguez go on and on at the time of the first film's release about how he wanted to do EVERY Frank Miller Sin City comic as a movie eventually? Now it's FOUR YEARS LATER, and not a whisper of him actually doing another one. We NEED to see A Dame To Kill For with Salma Hayek while she's still hot enough to pull it off.
-
Predators? I wouldn't mind seeing this happen if Rodriguez really ends up getting the project rolling considering the number of titles he's got lined up. I would imagine this is going to take a while for him to get to.
-
Be pretty fucking cool. With Rodriguez at the helm I'm not worried about bullshit PG-13 ratings or soft, blood-less gore. We'll probably even get a decent pair of boobies! What worries me is that he doesn't tend to take projects seriously. What I mean is, the wink wink nudge nudge camp of Planet Terror and even Desperado. What works about the first Predator is that it's an outlandish concept taking place in the real world. No laser guns, no blasters, no lightsabers. Just Arnie with a big fucking gun. <p> And since Arnie's unavailable, it must go to Sly. Aren't they already friends? Please make it happen, Mr. Rodriguez.
-
Fuck Angelina Jolie. Salma Hayek for A Dame to Kill For!
-
It will be fucking awful. I really hope that whole fad just fucks off and dies already. Otherwise, this could be pretty badass.
-
I think Sly would be up for it. Set it in the same Burma jungle as the last Rambo. Have Rambo encounter a Predator and kill it in some spectacular fashion. The Predators in charge are impressed with Rambo and it becomes a badge of honor to kill Rambo. The Predators start coming after Rambo one at a time, ala Jerimiah Johnson style, each Predator worse than the last. It ends when Rambo kills the chief Predator and they officially adopt Rambo into the tribe. I'd pay 10 bucks to see that.

Come on, Do it, Do it Now! Kill Meeeee! What R U Waiting Forrrr!
by ThePilgrim
So Running Man meets Predator or something like that. Gotta go real, no green or orangescreen for the jungle (plants are green so greenscreen might fuck it up).
-
They tied in Dutch with Gary Busy's character giving a whole bunch of exposition about how they had been working together to track down these aliens, but that Dutch had been killed in the years between the first movie and the second one, which had been set in the far off future of 1999 or so. The only PG-13 entry into either franchise was AvP. NEVER AGAIN, SO SAY WE ALL
-
<p>No fucking reboots either. Just start it up where the second one left us, only years after.</p> <p>Harrigan told the government hunting team they would get another chance. Almost 15 years after the events of Predator 2, guess what, it's time for them to have this another fucking chance.</p><p>New city, new Predators, maybe a Predatrix and the bracelet nuke FINALLY going off and showing humans you just don't fuck with a Predator and walk away.</p>
-
Terry Crews.
-
And no one says Dutch has died. So, we could even count with an Arnold's cameo as old Dutch, pulling the strings in the high ranks of the government or something.
-
Please, FOX, Let ALIEN find and ending. I'm probably the most rabid ALIEN fan on the net at the moment and have been lobbying for a final film, directed either by James Cameron or Ridley Scott. This bit of news gives me hope.
-
That could be badass- he's this badass old general who runs things and stuff. I'm on an Arnie kick today...
-
They could lure the Predator into a house thinking he is going to hook up with.......
-
There's always junk in talkbacks, but there are also always some great ideas, some unfilmable but geek-awesome ideas, and lots of basic, solid suggestions.<p>But here? Jason Statham? The Rock? Rambo? Predator homeworld? To be honest, a lot of bad ideas.<p>I wonder if that implies that this is a harder sequel to make than we'd like. There's not much to go on, after all--the first movie was perfect and complete, the second made a bit of a mess of what could have been a great idea (urban jungle), and the AVP films are absolute trash. Comic books? Comics brought us AVP, which is trash, so leave them out of it, I say.<p>Maybe the ultimate value of Predator is one perfect movie. I don't want to 'explore the mythos', I don't want some hack 20-year-old designer nerd coming along 25 years after the original and telling me what Predator buildings and ships look like.<p>The first film worked because of the mystery. It wasn't made to be a series. Moby Dick 2? Grapes of Wrath 2? War & Peace 2? Sometimes a story is just *a* story.<p>I don't want to know where Predator 3 is--I want to know where the Predator *equivalent* of today is. Who has the imagination and the guts to come up with something that good today?
-
On a planet of Predators with no humans called Predatornia two members of the Ye Old Predator’s Hunting Club lives are turned upside down when their human prey survives and stows away aboard their ship and then gets lose on Predatornia. Two Predators, the lovable confidant, tough large, scaly behemoth-like Predator named John P. Williams (A.K.A. better known as Willy) and his wisecracking best friend/ apprentice the short, green Predator with large red eyes, Mark Bartkowski discover what happens when a human interacts with their world in the form of a 40-year-old Human man dubbed "MotherFucker". And now it's up to Willy and Mark to send MotherFucker back to earth before anybody sees him, especially their boss Chief Bob.
-
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA just kidding of course, soon as we saw that teaser poster we all knew THAT would never happen...
-
Do it.
-
GET THE ROCK!

Glad to see he's getting his life/career back on track...
by DanielKurland
Let's just hope he doesn't fall for the main predator during filming...
-
Truly a Wonder Years moment for me
-
i just saw it for the first time a few months ago and i was expecting sooooo much more. it was cheesy 80s action and not in the badass rambo sorta way i was expecting. one cool scene of action with stale dialogue and horrendous acting doesn't make an 80s action classic, just a really fucking boring alien flic.
-
i trust rodriguez with the material. plus, modern day special effects can really enhance the story.
-
"Damn, fool Predator! PAAAAIN!!!!!"
-
Vin Diesel call your agent and demand this now!
-
...has really disappointed me over the years. I approach all of his latest ventures with great skepticism.
-
RR is off the reservation.
-
an original idea? Come on Roberto, you do have the talent. Otherwise, there really isn't a single screenwriter in Hollywood that can come up with a fresh pitch for a action/sci-fi movie?
-
sadly, the technology in the 80s wasn't able to show the truly monumental fight to the death of Billy vs. Predator. They didnt have the CG to show the army of Predators backed by well armed starships that it took to finally take down the machete weilding Badass.<p> now the story can finally be told.
-
Roberto couldn't direct a good movie to save his life... He probably thinks he could do a better job than John McTiernan (dream on, Roberto, dream on!)... Hollywood is dead.
-
Warwick Davis!
-
BC right now, I'm not impressed.
-
Fucking amateur. Seriously.
-
This movie needs Cheech Marin and Buscemi.
-
not liking a movie doesnt make the movie overrated, it just means you are probably wrong.
-
Is always good on repeat viewings, and holds up well. <p> A free for all in these context, sounds fun if it was a video game, but can't see it being a great movie. <p>
-
Based on the way he's written here and on other TBs.
-
Let's cast him. And Johnny Depp. And Michael Mann can direct. And Stephen Gaghan can tweek the script...owowowowow...la la land.<p>Nurse, nurse, where are my meds?<p>If Rodriguez does get his hands on this I tust that he is enough of a convert to do it a semblance of justice. I mean, if he fucks this up then he really ought to go into a whole other career, maybe as a serial apologist for all the excremeny he has wiped across various cinema screens in the name of "Robert Rodriguez makes it his way".
-
it doesnt have many of the cliche characters that kill modern scifi flicks. there is no comic relief guy (a guy tells jokes, but isnt meant to be funny), no love interest, and even the corporate/military stooge(Weathers) is a badass. I hate how modern horror and sci fi flicks assume you have to make a checklist of generic stereotypes, and have them played by retarded teenagers. bores me to tears. <p> Predator was different. Just well trained, serious badasses fighting a badass alien. Predator had to earn his kills. Anyone can slaughter dumbass teens trying to fuck each other.
-
there isn't anything in there that would make people go "ewww old" ie, no bad effects. Get a negative restoration and re-release it. Probably make a shitload of money.
-
Yeah not a fan either of the modern sci-fi/horror formula, very very bland. <p> Just after reading this TB, going to hire out Predators today, sit back with a few beers/bourbon and coke and enjoy a great movie. Just need the wife's cousin to give me head before/during/after and will be a great night.
-
Welcome, homies.
-
I dont care if its Steven Seagal, just dont make the hero a woman, i couldnt give a chimps cock what people think of the statement, just DONT MAKE IT A WOMAN !
-
RR is bad ass except for his Spy Kids shit. Predators is gonna kick major ass.
-
The real question is whether the hero is going to be played by Shia or by Awwwhailnawww?
-
Anyone who watches the original Predator movie and walks away thinking little of it should maybe rewatch the movie. The great screenwriter Robert Towne, writer of Chinatown, Shampoo, Last Detail and script doctor on Bonnie & Clyde and the Godfather, has said it is a great movie. A good endorsement indeed.
-
not even a tough as any man, fiercely independent, ridiculously hot woman? come on, no one has ever done that before!<p> is that Michelle Rodriguez i hear calling? All we need now is a slang talking black guy and a funny gay guy and this movie is ready to shoot!
-
with nathan lane as dutch.
-
Predators find their Messiah and stop hunting.
-
April 24, 2009, 2:21 a.m. CST
dear god, please tell me Michelle and Robert aren't related
by BMacSmith
if so, i can see her getting the role as Generic Ripley Wannabe #482. She will probably beat Predator to death with her bare hands.
-
Since when is Superman Puerto Rican?
-
Now that was an idea.
-
With this franchise, a reboot and a sequel are two concepts separated by a few small degrees, just make it a sequel.
-
April 24, 2009, 2:40 a.m. CST
As crap and try-hard Planet Terror was..he's the right dude
by quantize
..planet terror was so fuckin busy trying to be gross and clever all at the same time it failed horrible..hell its worse than Tarantino's snorefest which eventually delivers.. but Rodriguez would probably do a good job with this if he can just lay off his own high juice for a while. I'm hoping both him and Tarantino got a lesson in entertainment from that last debacle.
-
who gives a fuck...Sin City rocked, whatever the cost..he delivered..dude deserved more respect than your poncy fuckhead pontificating
-
as long as he doesnt CG the whole thing. Predator barely had any effects at all. can't say i'm interested in that Predator homeworld crap. Hopefully, it will be a smaller story.
-
if they're rebooting Predator then maybe we can have a proper Alien 5. Like the one I've been suggesting in the hope that some studio paeon reads this,
-
I love Mr Biehn, but always felt he was wasted in that Rowen Atkinson make up. Also thought he was rubbish in the cheap porn of Terminator and Aliens. He was much better in Deadfall, which is easily the best film Nicolas Cage ever starred in.
-
cyberpunk Blade Runner style. Ripley buys the farm in the first 10 minutes. I can't be arsed to do the rest of it now (as I've typed it out hundreds of times in AvP TB's). <P>Neil Marshall to direct.
-
I agree with your post 100%.
-
would actually be an awesome choice as the lead. Plus he's worked with Rodriguez before.
-
straight-forward and conventional than any of the ideas you guys have come up with. It's going to be reboot + bankable male lead + CGI + set on Earth in a jungle + more than one Predator alien.
-
...don't try to force a PG-13 film out of it.
-
Hasn't that ship sailed along with Arnold's figure? He's nearly geeky fat now that he's governor. Then again... Sly was pretty bad looking in Avenging Angelo. I guess Arnold could get back in shape. But what about his age? He could be playing Moses' part in True Lies now. I don't know. Maybe there is a good angle for a True Lies 2. I watched The Tailor of Panama the other day. 007 had his hands on Jamie Lee's boobs.
-
Said he didn't want to a comedy about terrorists after 9/11.
-
Is there more story there, something that needs telling? Is there something that Cameron needs to do creatively? Was it really that good? Is there anyone beside ABKing asking for it? Is there any amount of money that Cameron needs? I think Cameron would make sequels to Aliens and T2 before he made True Lies 2, i.e. never.
-
After FuX messed up the AVP series(thanks for nutting Anderson, you fucking cockney cocksucker.) it's high time for a reboot.Pred was my pick for best alien while everyone else fell for the hype that was ET. Pussies!<p>So the next question is; who's gonna play Dutch?
-
the greatest actor of our time. Starring in the holy trinity of 80s scifi horror (terminator, Aliens and Predator)? get the fuck out of here. im not sure anyone is that awesome. maybe Ahnold should be in ALien 5.
-
this should be miles ahead of those AVP flicks

The Stath: "Gimmethat spear!"<P> Predator: "RAAAK! RAAAK!"<P> The Stath: "Gimme the spear or you're going in the pond!"<P> You know you want it.

Aliens land in feudal Japan, and slaughter an entire village and take up in a castle. Ken Watanabe in the lead as the head of 7 brave samurai sent to kick some Alien butt. Of course there would be rediculous amounts of Alien acid blood flying, scaring the samurai as they slice through the aliens with their katana's (samurai swords). <p> Yes I know, cliche as hell,homage to both Aliens and Seven Samurai, would be cool. <p>

Seriously, RR is done professionally. Fooking ass.
-
I thought you were serious until I saw your comment about Roland Emmerich at the end, there.... Great joke! You even reeled a couple people in with it! Hahahahahahahaha!
-
I think what Gentile meant is that even Emmerich would make the film professionally (ie. he wouldn't do all the jobs himself).
-
Statham: Oi you facking cant. <p> Predator spears Statham. Statham dies because he's crap.
-
fuck reboots,remakes,sequels and prequels. <p>can we get some new franchises? or humanity's imagination has reached its limits? <p>and AVP was good.but they should have made the sequel into the future.space marines vs aliens vs predators.thats all u need.

Thomas Jane, Jason Statham and how about none other than a fresh outta rehab Van Damne to ironically link us to the first film for the cast as colonial marines and lay the ground work for a re-vamped Alien v. Predator while we're at it. They're both exploitation at their respective heart. If ever there were a chance to breathe life back into the franchise, this is it.
-
can it?
-
cant wait to get my shoulder-mounted laser gun in my happy meal! <p>if Predator was released today it would be a mild PG13 anyway, so its not that big a deal.
-
its not like there is a lot of continuity to consider here. for the love of god just call it Predator 3. i hate the modern bullshit sequel/reboot naming crap. just put a number on the end. if it was good enough or Godfather, its good enough for anything else.
-
how could anybody be 'reeled in' if they never read past the first para of his supposedly genius parody?
-
Predator(s) in Gulf War with Jason Statham as Dutch's son.
-
the Pred's cloaking device and shoulder cannon. The whole thing should be filmed on sets or on location (no green screen crap) and with a real guy in a costume for the Predator. Shame Kevin Peter Hall ain't around any more, but any big stuntman will do.
-
...Just look at AVP and see the difference. Kevin Peter Hall delivered an actors performance through the suit. Compare his movements to AVP (wrestlers in the suit), AVPR (skinny bloke in the suit) and spot the huge difference.
-
Will be comedy gold! Comedy gold!
-
The Predator vs. HUGO CHAVEZ. He would look totally badass in that cute little red beret and his big pot belly hanging over his Army belt. Socialism or Death, Gringo Alien!
-
Were a few scenes really Jean Claude Van Damme and not Hall? that is some hilarious shit. But come to think of it, he does look a little smaller in some parts
-
he's definitely got the badassness for the role
-
just film 'em back 2 back.
-
just for the hell of it, then Under Siege III..
-
You wouldn't think it was possible.
-
...somebody RR wants to fuck during filming. Again.
-
it's a sequel, not a stupid reboot. It has little or no CGI (the original managed just fine without it). It has cameos from Arnie and/or Danny Glover (hey, I can dream). It brings back Adam Baldwin's character who is still out to catch a Predator. And puts someone awesome like Dolph Lundgren in the lead role. Let's face it though, what are the chances of this a. getting made and b. not being a bunch of arse? Reboots only really work if they follow on from something that really killed a franchise dead, such as Batman and Robin. In my opinion Predator 2 in no way did that and if you count the two AvP flicks as part of the franchise (which I personally don't) even they aren't as bad as B&R. Anyway, I beleive the point I'm trying to make is that there is no reason not to do a sequel that follows on from the first two movies, despite the length of time that has passed.
-
And I do trust Robert on this one. There is no way a film maker with that much street cred would do a remake.
-
And I'd be okay with this if he was in it. Just as long as it's not a fucking remake. Only if it co-exists with 1 & 2.

Predator is basically my Star Wars. AvPs dont exist to me
by BMacSmith
Predator, Aliens, and Terminator is my equivalent to the original Star Wars Trilogy for star wars geeks. AvP is the Phantom Menace. <p> give me Predator 3 or fuck off :)
-
Have some other younger dude star. He is on Earth, defeats a Predator in the opening scene, and then goes back to his life in the States. A few months later, he gets alien abducted by some Predators, and taken to their homeworld. There, he is put in a pen "Planet of the Apes" style, and forced to compete in gladatorial games. Along the way, he catches the eye of another older gladiator, who was captured years earlier, and is extremely gristled and numb to death. Arnold. New guy tries to get gladiators to revolt, and eventually gets Arnold to join his side. The big finale is all of the alien gladiators and the heroes facing off against a shit ton of Predators. Arnold sacrifices himself by blowing up some kind of bomb (laughing as he does it like the Predator in the first one), new guy flies off with some other aliens in a stolen Predator spaceship. Roll credits. $500 million box.

Don' fuck with Machete!<P> They'd call him Johnny-600 if they knew the truth. Stands for how many Predators he's strangled to death with his bare hands...

The Predator movies died after Predator 2, which in an of itself was only okay, it can't get any worse. I would say that if anyone has a chance of getting it right it's Rodriguez, unless James Cameron wants to hop onboard which you know is never going to happen except in a dream.
-
Not RR please, it will be a CGI fest with tongue in cheek action! I want back to the old school Predator filmed on location with a bit of CGI where needed, and no machine guns attached to legs!!
-
Guy's awesome in everything he does. But especially in THURSDAY.<P> I'd have liked to have seen him as a proper Garth Ennis PUNISHER, too. Dammit.
-
That's pretty legit. Best idea for a crossover movie I've ever seen.
-
Couldn't have been worse if Uwe fucking Boll had got a hold of it. Worst actnig I've ever seen by the likes of Danny Glover and Bill Paxton, a fucking nonsensical script, Maria Conchita Alonso barely manages a one-dimensional character - only vague flashes of cool remain in that movie. One of the most disappointing sequesl of all fucking time.<P> The bit with the Predator carrying that Yardie Rasta's head though - pretty damn cool. As was the ship at the end...
-
G'wan my son
-
but Rodrigeuz made Dusk Till Dawn, Desperado and Sin City. He can produce faithful work. Keep the same alien design, keep the asthetic of the 1st film (war/vietnam/Sth Amer. drug wars) parables and SKIN LOTS OF CUNTS
-
Or is it just another Robert Rodriguez project that will forever be "In Production"? It definitely has the potential to be bad ass. Too bad there won't be any Dutch tho :\
-
Bale arrives on Predator planet, whips out his cock and begins to piss. "Oooright, I'm fookin' ere, who's first?"
-
This sounds like the Boethiah quest. The Battle of the Ten Bloods, remember? Ooh, imagine - human vs. alien vs. predator vs. another half-dozen assorted life-forms.<p>Like a big nasty Quake Arena type thingy. Yes, count me in - I'll have some of that!
-
There's no-one I'd rather see beating the shit out of anything on-screen, especially if that anything is fucking Predators!
-
Sadly, I think you'll find Danny Glover is indeed 'too old for this shit'.
-
All of them, only way lobster face is going to have a chance vs. Chuck!
-
I'd buy that for a dollar.
-
... The predator movie we all wanted and expected right after we saw the first one. <p> I always found it funny a movie franchise actually latched onto the teet (alien) of another franchise and no one seemed to notice. <p> I reckon this Predators film can have aliens in it, for sure..... but it'd be awesome to have an all out expanded universe style predator film. <p> Shit yeah negro. Damn straight bitch, you know it!
-
There is nothing to redo. The stories were pretty seperate as it is. So what exactly is going to change that will affect the other movies? It doesnt make sense to me.
-
Thats better than any fkin vs. And I agree - predator 2 was shit. <p>however,<P>that chase at the end was totally worth the price of admission. <p>But,<p>Danny glover fucked it all by saying something gay. <p>hahaha<p>dickblood
-
Another good suggestion.
-
This wouldn't ever get made as an 'R' picture. McG has proved that directors will lie, lie, lie about this, but the studio will absolutely demand a PG-13 cut, followed by an "Unrated" home market release!
-
not nearly as good as 1 but still solid. I agree Paxton was terrible in that. just terrible. but the last 45 minutes or so of Glover vs. Predator was damn cool and well shot. all the action stuf in 2 was pretty good. plus it had fucking Gary Busey! if that doesnt melt your cold heart to part 2 nothing will.

...dragged through the mud and beaten into the ground already...there's no sacred PREDATOR holy grail left to desecrate. If Rodriguez can make a kick ass sci-fi action flick out of this we all win.

Yes, he got chopped in half in Predator two, but you can put some robotic legs on him and let him chew the scenery with those giant Busey choppers as only he can.

You know who I'm talking about. Bald head, says "ese" a lot.

Wow, what fucking awesome news!!!

I can't believe people actually like those two movies. They're just terrible especially in context of the two series. Really an embarassment.
-
...can do an Austrian accent, would be a good Dutch, I think. On a side note; I remember hearing about this Predators/predator 3 script years ago, where Dutch is taken to the Predators homeworld, but I didn't know it was Robert Rodriguez who wrote it. Fascinating.

He should be in it!! Fuck!

She doesn't look remotely South American so she can't be "Anna" so maybe Robby can relocate the flique to Central Park? Or the forrest in the NE, say Washintons state or Oregon? They used woods in the NE for AvP:R and that's the best movie every made in the history of movies being made (don't deny it, you have 500 dvd's, all copies of AvP:R...don't lie).<p>Rose can be a tour guide or something? Planet Terror was really that awesome? I saw a few minutes and had to stop watching (but I'll give it another chance if its as good as everybody says it's supposed to be)<p>I'll admit to never seeing "El Mariachi" but I've seen enough of the rest of the guy's work to have a valid opinion (i think) and I wouldn't exactly call it kick ass if he gets this gig.<p>To me, he's like a more talented version of guys like McG and Rattner....capable of only middling displays of talent but yet still convinced that everyone wants him to do exactly what he's doing. Still convinced everyone thinks he's the best person for the job and that his "geek cred" is much larger than it actually is...ahem.

Much hostility friend, not sure it's necessary. <p> I should have prefaced my original comment by saying that I was originally a big fan of Rodriguez when he first broke onto the scene. I love Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn. But everything since has been an experiment in how cheaply a film can be made instead of how can the best possible expierence be crafted for the audience. I do like Sin City but I can't help but imagine how good it may have been if it had been shot as an actual film noir out on the streets, instead of a kind of wink-wink blue screen parody. I just don't think Rodriguez is putting the audience first when he makes Once Upon A Time In Mexico look like it's shot on a handycam. <p> Hate me if you must, but I just don't want that kind of mentality in control of the Predator franchise, it's suffered enough already under the AVP banner. I really wish nothing more than for Rodiguez to totally prove me wrong and make me eat my words because I don't particularly enjoty ragging on him, but as a fan I have to say I feel a little betrayed and heartbroken by the course he's chosen to take his career. Search your feelings, don't you agree with me at least a little bit?
-
He seems to have a good relationship with Rodriguez and it just makes to bookend the series with the other great 80s action star. Now if only the character could be called Rambo. Throw in a Transformer and you have a fanboys wet dream.
-
For the love of god...
-
...royally cocking up California to be involved. Tell it like it is!

This is my dream movie that I've always wanted to happen. I always pictured Predator 3 happening like a rogue predator gathering up humans who've survived the hunt, which is forbidden in predator society, cause survivors are safe from further hunts. Then some type of police predators are sent to catch the rogue, who also enjoys slaying his brothers in the sport. Meanwhile the humans are caught in the middle trying to figure out who are the good guys. You could have tons of interesting characters from all over the world as the prey, like soldiers, drug runners, terrorists. The Rogue Predator gives the prey a bunch of weapons to choose from knives to uzis and shotguns, even rare alien weapons that they need to figure out how to use. Somebody get Dwayne Johnson or Jason Statham in this movie.
-
Is...uuhhhmmmm.....hhhmmmm....I give up. They all have seriously sucked.
-
all of his other films. weak stuff.
-
original is that the jungle is like another character. And the location shooting added immensely to that feeling. Rodriguez loves his "little green world" in Austin, and if this takes place on an alien landscape..well, you get the picture.
-
now we get to see the Rodriguez kids script a predator movie. Hopefully, Robert might use this opportunity to restore his cred.
-
Predators have stolen Chev's skull and replaced it with an alien alloy that is slowly poisoning his brain. Doc Miles assures Chev that he might be able to replace his own skull, but to slow down the process, he must cause severe trauma to his head! Join Chev, Eve, Doc Miles and the gang as they invade the Predator homeworld and raise some hell! In 3D, of course!
-
was that a "Clerks 2" reference?.... lol, nice one...... just for the record, i liked all 4 Predator films,... might not have liked the last two near as much, but they were better than nothing.......... just wish they would have held true to the Dark Horse comic of "Aliens vs. Predator"........ that really could have been incredible...... and i'm not at all interested in Rob Rod doing a Predator film.
-
Fiancee declares, "He's a nice guy!"
-
if hollywood and all would go back to more "guys in suits" type efx, with CG maybe filling in and for accentuating, movies would be far better off....get back to where it's a craft, and make it so that CG isn't a crutch....I'll take guys in suits and the such (Jurrasic Park, Aliens, Predator etc.) anyday over full blown CGI.... again, just look at the shit that's out there.... Spiderman, 2 and 3, Blade 2, Catwoman, etc, etc., etc..... and these were films with TONS of money, TONS... and they couldn't do it right. I really hate CGI.
-
Stan "the man" Winston was the best of his time. If any of you hollywood fucking hacks had half his talent, his know how, and what he passed on to his people and his studio, you'd be able to make a decent movie with effects as a way to HELP tell the story, and not BE the story.
-
Just saying for you guys boycotting the studio.....
-
Predator 2 made the predators into noble fighters when from movie 1 they were pretty clearly just asshole hunters who like killing for sport. After that you got the Predators fighting along side humans in the Dark Horse comic. I prefer the predator who loses a fight and nukes a forest in revenge. So the idea is great. But I dont know he can get the budget to do it well. The idea suggests all sorts of aliens in a big arena and thousands of predators watching(ok I can see why those would have to be cg enhanced). The predators must be good quality costumes-not cg.
-
Tropic Thunder
-
This sounds like a movie about the interplanetary Olympic games. Behold, the Predator Discus Throw! The Predator Long Jump! The Predator Sack Race! Meh, Rickey will pass.
-
sorry, i was thinking of "you never go ass to mouth" from Clerks 2.... forgot that was in Tropic...... wish more peolple would have seen Tropic Thunder...... good film.....
-
Whats funny about Blade 2 as an example is that the practical/CGI design of the Reaper make-up is a great example of using CGI to compliment make-up. But the virtual full body stuntmen for the ninja fight was awful. So Blade is a great example of good AND bad CGI.
-
at least in a theatre... Fanboys, Outland (2009), 5-25-77.....
-
I couldn't have said it better!!!
-
as one of the more old school albeit slightly gay(dancing with the stars) dude, I'm surprised you've stooped so low with the Bale thing. Dude is still one of the best actors on the planet. I thought you were smarter. Ohh wait, dancing with the stars.
-
And so do you, you just didn't realize it until this very moment.
-
It's time for a JCVD come back. Or get Statham, who is JCVD minus the thick accent.
-
Should star. Movie solved.

20th Century Fox has already set a July 7, 2010 release date for Robert Rodriguez's Predators, which the studio promises to be "a bold new chapter in the Predator universe." AICN bigging up a Fox pic?Whatever next??

Of course I'd rather he do Sin City 2 or another western, but I'll take a Rodriquez Predator film.

Vin Diesel is deffinitely the way to go. Riddick in Pitch Black was pure bitchin...This would be a great flick for Vin. Vin...talk to Robert let's get this done ASAP!
-
Here is how you bring Ripley back. Parts 3 and 4 were dreams while in hyper sleep. She wakes up years later(that would explain the aging). Newt and Biehns characters are still alive. Rip can get screwed by corporation all over again in a whole new adventure. As for Predator, Dutch gets taken as a live trophy to battle on new planet. Space distance could explain his aging. Forget the AvP abortions ever happened, and we could have a whole new Predator vs. Aliens series by Cameron of course.

Predator planet is bad. resist the urge to Trekify Predator
by BMacSmith
we dont need backstory. we dont need origins. we dont need to know more about Predator life and culture. The Predator movies barely say anything about who Preds are or why they hunt stuff. I am terrifie by the idea of Predator homeworld stories. how in the hell would Dutch or whoever manage to survive a planet full of Predators and make it back to Earth? thats just crazy. about as believable as the cavemen in Battlefiel Earth destroying a spacefaring aliens with harrier jets.

The reason KPH worked so well as the original predator is because he was a professionally trained dancer. He knew how to hit poses and what shapes would be the most interesting for the camera. He made the predator lithe and stealthy, which added to the mystery and alien-ness of the character. Then you see the huge frackin dudes in AVP and they are so laughable because they're just thundering around in front of the camera. The giant suits didnt help, either.
-
Just make this Predator 3. It can still be called Predators (obviously a homage to Aliens), but just make it a sequel to the previous two movies. There's not going to be any continuity there anyway, so who gives a fuck. down with this 'reboot' nonsense!what are they rebooting anyway? this doesn't sound like a new start to this series, nor is it some partial composite of ideas from the first film.<p>Anyway, I don't think there's anything to complain about here; alien and predator have had the coffin shut and the nails driven in so many times, that this can't really damage anything now. Rodriguez is decent. I'd never call him a great film maker, but he's a decent action director. Most of his 'adult' movies have been at least watchable(never bothered seeing his kiddie stuff). he's better than some hack or bland journeyman anyway; I give him credit because at least he's got heart,unlike some soulless automaton like Brett Ratner or Rob Cohen, even if he's never made a truly great film.
-
Came out in late 80's, I think. It had Dutch's brother as the main character, and was set in New York. It was somewhat like the movie (but far better written), being about wars between the cops and rival gangs, which the Predator comes in to hunt. Dutch's brother encounters the Predator and travels to South America to try to discover what happened to his brother. Then there is a big battle in the city between cops, criminals, and arriving Predator ships. They should have just made that Predator 2; they could have cast Dolph Lundgren as Dutch's bro. It was a really good sequel and would have made a truly worthy follow up to the original movie,at least as good as you could make it without having Arnie in it, although it would probably have been too expensive to make. There were also dark horse comics that followed on from Aliens, that would have formed the basis for far more imaginative and exciting sequels than what we got there as well.

i have most all of the Dark Horse "Aliens" and "Predator" comics from the late '80s '90s... those were some great stories... some of them did suck, but 80% of them were very good..... i'd definately be happy to see true adaptations of some of them..... the comic you're referencing was pretty good, not one of my faves, but pretty good

"The new Predator film we introduced to you yesterday, entitled Predators, is expected to touch down in theaters on July 7, 2010. That's according to ERC Box Office who also reports Robert Rodriguez is merely "shepherding" the film not writing and directing. Our rep at Fox can confirm this is true. A writer and director have not been found yet, but the hunt is on! The first Predator was a summer release as well, opening on June 12, 1987. Right now, Predators faces competition with M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender which opens on July 2, 2010." http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=10312 They're going to make this thing in 14 months? Well this sounds like it's going to blow...
-
Before STEALTH, before THE MUMMY 3, before DAYLIGHT, Rob Cohen DID make a truly great movie. It was called DRAGON, it was the Bruce Lee biopic, and Jason Scott Lee created a career-defining performance as Bruce that has never been bettered.<P> I personally loved DRAGONHEART too, but I may be biased as I auditioned for the part of Young Einon back in the day - and lost out to the guy who becmae Munch in TWO PINTS OF LAGER AND THOSE FUCKING CHAVS. Goddammit...
-
They'll find a way to make this suck. You know this to be true.
-
so it's doomed
-
Pretty much everything Dark Horse did with PREDATOR bettered the second movie or those fuckawful AVP movies, and their ALIENS comics were waaaaay better than anything after ALIENS - and yes I know ALIEN 3 has its supporters, but its arty bullshit and heavy-handed religious imagery - and deep down you all know it...
-
I have all those comics from back in the day, and they're the backbone of my collection. Fucking awesome, all of them.
-
Come on!!!! Kill me!!!! Kill me I'm HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE!!! Brother!!!

I like the movie Predator (I thought the sequel sucked ass). But I wouldn't call myself a Predator fan. I'm still upset that AvP was ever made, because it was starting to look like Alien 5 would happen with Ridley Scott and James Cameron sounding interested (and let's be honest, a Scott-Cameron teamup for Alien 5 would have kicked major ass), but AvP wiped that out.<p>But if Predators gets made, and does well...then I think there could be the potential for a Alien 5 (just no newborn, please!)

Oh, wait...

Give the Predator Dental Floss in case he comes up behind Segal, he can blind fold him.
-
planet, how about a couple of the predators on a "hunting trip" drop down in the middle of a crips on bloods like gang fight in the inner city jungle. You could call it Predators in the Hood.

I've always seen the Predator movies as typical action movies spiced up with predators. Predator had Arnie, that one guy from Commando, Jesse Ventura, and Motherfucking Apollo Creed, in the jungle, blowing the crap out of columbians. It was basically Commando/Rambo. Then they added the predator. Predator 2 was the typical cop action movie in the beginning, with the vicious gunfight between cops and druglords. Shit, it had Danny Glover! Then the predators came in. Predator starts off as a regular action movie, then they add predators. Unless they go to the homeworld, the logical move would to do War action movies. So, make Saving Private Ryan with a Predator, or Black Hawk Down with a Predator, or Glory with a Predator.

So it will be a PG-13 suckfest.<p> It is aparent they learned nothing from AVP as they made AVP:R just as worthless.<p> I just don't have faith in them anymore to do this correctly.
-
I agree with the posters who suggested re-releasing the original Predator,timeless film.Who needs a reboot anyway?.As for Today,I said it here in 2005 and I'll say it again,The Rock can deal with it.In my opinion,deathbunny 32's Black Hawk Down idea is a good place to start.I hope it goes well and isn't a weak out........

Great, another awesome property down the shitter. Say hello to Wolverine and the Fantastic Four when you reach the bottom of the garbage chute. <br><br> Is it too late to request a Sandy Corrola Predator film?
-
Whatever the story, whether it's a new hardman character or a reuse of Dutch, Jason Statham is the man for the job.
-
badass special forces fighting terrorists in the remote mountains of Pakistan/Afghanistan. Then Predator shows up and fucks everything up. this movie writes itself. please, for the love of god, no predator homeworld. that is not what Predator is about.
-
Ryan Reynolds. The guy is solid. Built and funny. Perfect for a good franchise.
-
Have you seen him with his shirt off nowadays? The poor slob's steroid-induced muscles have completely turned to mush. The guy has bigger man-boobs than Reagan did at the end of the 80s.<p>And yes... the best choice to do this film with would be Vin Diesel as Riddick. Second best choice would be Jason Statham as pretty much any character Statham's ever played.<p>I'd say The Rock, as well, but the guy's pretty much nothing more than an action joke now. He's too busy doing kiddie movies and trying to snag cameos on Hannah Montana to be taken seriously as an action star anymore. Sorry, dude... but you sold out!
-
Remember the line in CASABLANCA where Rick tells the Nazi that "There are certain parts of New York you wouldn't want to invade"?<p>How about O.G.s - Edward James Olmos and Don Cheadle types - who return and save their hood from the invading Predators. It'll be like TRESPASS meets NEXT OF KIN with Predators.<p>Anyhow, it's been cool conversing with you.

Ain't it "I got a phone call from Robert Rodriguez" news

Predator is far from played out as a franchise if they just stop making these damned "meets Aliens" dumbass scripts and craft something as tobacco-spittin' badass as the original.
-
"Whoever wins, George Lucas makes a mint." Or something like that, it was from mad magazine years ago.
-
a few people have intercut the predator in the jungle with the ewoks in the forest. fucking hilarious.

Rob rodriguez to direct?Fucking sweet! at last. Predator has a chance to get back on form. Remember when they did an interview with the crappy brothers who did the last aliens predator movie?How they said they'd listened to the fans and created exactly the type of movie we've all waited for THEN completly ignored the mythology and rules already set in previous movies!Stoopid stoopid movie.But now, there is a new hope.Give Kurt Russell the lead!Snake Pliskin vs predators? he would woop their ass..

A team of badasses would still be instantly slaughtered by preda
by Six Demon Bag
they have the home field advantage and there would be outnumbered. LET IT GO..if you want to watch predators go at it, watch PREDATOR and PREDATOR 2. Remember when everyone saw the ALIEN skull in P2 and everyone said they should make AVP...they did and they fucked it up royally...be careful what you wish for ladies
-
game over man..game over
-
Just bring back what made them popular.... The Colonial Marines. Aliens should be IN SPACE!! Where they started and where they belong. Nobody wants to see them on present day Earth.
-
what made aliens so great is that it was radically different from the previous...they shot themselves in the foot with both series by putting them together. i lost interest about 2/3 way into alien 4 when rip and alien made the alien baby...thanks but no thanks
-
Make that, bitches!!!
-
I wanna read that in comic book form, bitches!!!
-
Make that too...bitches!!!
-
I'll pay good money to see or read that! Bitches!!! :P
-
It was called Star Trek: First Contact. They even had a Queen who controlled everything as the aliens systematically overran the ship and converted the crew into new aliens.
-
Alien -------aliens. predator------predators..... anyone see a link here??? and we all know how well aliens worked!!!!!watch this space!!
-
The guy makes shit movies. The box office returns all confirm it. God only knows how this guy keeps getting work.

There's two Rodriguez talkbacks, how come one of us thought of this earlier.

I always thought of a PREDATOR movie set 10-20 years late after the 2nd one. Since the 1st and 2nd movies did establish that Preds only hunt on the hottest years, the remote jungles of Africa would be perfect. Predators. And what better hunt than a hunter; have hunters from some secluded African tribes being hunted by a Pred and really give him a hunt of his life. As for setting in on a Predator planet, it makes no since to me. Predators are the quintessential hunters: ANY prey, ANY time, ANY where. It’s all about the thrill of the hunt. Having the Preds hunt on their home planet is like hunting in your backyard. But the idea of having past “champions” that defeated Preds and have one huge “champion hunt” on a totally new uninhabited planet sounds like a perfect way to go. What greater hunt is there for something that lives just for the hunt is to hunt the best of the best or to be killed by a “champion”. I agree with what was said before, go back to the style of the original one or like that of APOKOLYPTO- very little spoke. Focus on the characters and the fear of the unknown. Having Arnie or Glover do a cameo would be a dream, but we all know it’s a very long shot. But we have been here before; we hear of something that does bring us hope only to be dashed in Hollywood oblivion. So I will hold back my excitement until there is more information on the story and whose going to be in it. I do have my reservations on Roberto helming this, since he does have a ton on his plate and very little to show for them. But I do feel like he would do justice to it- IF he can stay true to the original one and just make it more real and little to no CG. Here’s hoping for the best on this one.
