The Screenplay For The New PREDATOR Movie Is 'Bloody, Violent, and Hard R'!! There's A Script Review Online...
Merrick here...
The Latino Review dudes have a SPOILERISH - and very enthusiastic - script review of the new PREDATOR movie from Rodriguez/Antal. The review also discusses broad plot movements, character details, what kind of creatures we can expect to see in the film, as well as a potential cameo.

I live in a small hovel on Tatooine, so it will have to be available online.
-
I think I want to go into this relatively spoiler-free for a change, and see what Antal delivers. Was always very underwhelmed by the Predator concept in general, but anybody who's seen Kontroll knows this could be pretty fucking sweet.
-
This is not TV assholes, it's the web. Someone summarize for the 99% of the audience who doesn't like seeing a goatsee on their screen.
-
Arnie needs to be in this!
-
The only place for them is on YouTube.<p>Christ, no wonder half of the western population wouldn't recognise a book if it was put in front of them, and think that laughter is spelt 'LOL'.
-
Sounds pretty decent. I guess if they can stick to the simplicity of the story it will be great. When you start adding extra elements to a movie like this, thats when it tends to get lame.
-
But kiiiiiiiinda sick of it.
-
er..I beg to differ.
-
Sounds dire.
-
I'm sick of this shit. I want to read, damnit. Like in the OLD DAYS.
-
...the helicopter from Predator?
-
It's like The Expendables meets Predator...complete with an Arnie cameo.
-
Finally a franchise That has a good director taking over! There are too many of these hacks destroying once great movie icons! I am really looking forward to this movie! Lets hope RR doesn't let us down!

...decent overview if I skim the talkback in about ten minutes.<P>Please do what you do and go about your business. I'll be back to get the verdict.

that gets thrown together. a multicultural group of bad asses with a strong female? its cliche to fuck. I bet the woman's the last one standing. I mean these people wouldn't be the most bad ass our planet has to offer would they? I would have just military types like the SAS, Delta force, the best of the best etc.
-
I prefer to read the script myself, instead of having someone else interpret the content for me. Still, this movie is going to kick all kinds of ass. I'll guarantee you ALL this right fucking now. Because Hollywood is so predictable. The Black character named Mumbossa will be played by no other than Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Adabisi from Oz).
-
Why!? We do NOT need this movie. Just run the original in theaters. You'll never top PREDATOR. Best Arnie movie ever.
-
Just the gist of it. Latino review's script reviews are perfect in that regard.
-
...is it called Latino Review exactly? I'm too lazy to go there and find out. Do only latinos work there?
-
Connor: The script review states that it's revealed during the course of the film that the Predators have been dropping humans into the preserve for years. I would imagine that means they've already grabbed Delta Force/Spetznaz/SAS/etc. soldiers a number of times at some point and are now looking for a little variety. They don't want to hunt prey that behaves the same way over and over. Ganymede: Yeah, I think you're probably right... Him or Michael Clarke Duncan.
-
Why is this site called "Aint it cool?". ZING!!!
-
and as a HUGE Predator fan I think the script sounds like a lot of fun.

"a multicultural group of bad asses "
by CHRISTIAN_BALE_TRASHED_MY_LIGHTS
Really? Is that what they're going with?<p>I forsee a cocky American who says sexually sugestive comments to the only woman on the team and gets taken down like a pussy towards the end, an English guy who talks like Jason Stratham (possibly even played by him) who says stupid things like "Fucking 'ell guvnor!" when his arm gets blown to pieces, a Chinese/Japanese guy who is silent throughout most of the movie (or dispenses pearls of useless wisdom at random points) and engages the Predator using a sword or knife only to be blown into chunks of flesh, a black guy who provides the comic relief and is either the first to die or second-from-last, and then the woman will survive until the end having proved to her male companions that she's just as tough as them (and, in fact, smarter simply because she's a ladee).
-
But love that one Vern did for Machete as it was a hilarious sendup of how stupid video script reviews are.
-
doesn't mean the film will be. The studio will release a 12/PG-13 version in cinemas then give us an uncut version on DVD "with shit you couldn't see in theaters!" Why even bother to get excited about this? It's Die HArd 4 all over again.
-
seriously, fuck them!
-
If Robert Rodriguez can can get Arnie to actually film a nice cameo in the vein of Spock in the STAR TREK reboot, that will make PREDATORS all the more kick ass and awaited. Just as long as the script is as solid as LATINO REVIEW makes it out to be. I hope Antal doesn't just shoot quick cut action crap. I want the slow pacing of PREDATOR with quality action scenes that rock!
-
Great run down! Spot on! hahaha
-
CBTML should be a scriptwriter. A Fox scriptwriter they love that shit.

Okay. Finally watched it. Sounds okay.
by CHRISTIAN_BALE_TRASHED_MY_LIGHTS
I have hope.
-
It's pretty much the same lineup for every movie featuring 'multicultural badasses'. :)
-
An R is an R. This is getting sillier than when people said that Beowulf "must" be rated NC-17, which would NEVER FUCKING HAPPEN.
-
Even if R Rodrigues and his kids script this shit and make it as bloodier as possible, IT WILL BE PG-13. Period. No major franchise film gets released as an R nowadays, these days are over. Unless Warner gets the project and tries a risky move, we might see an R Predator, but ever since Watchmen, not even WB will try that.
-
Sounds like part of an action playset. The whole movie sounds like it. It also sounds incredibly stupid and silly to me. RR is a goofball and stoned out of his mind. Predator dogs, and falcons. It's like a dog, but with armor and dreads man. Pass the bong over. The falcans are cool. Like regular falcons but with armor and dreads. Man, this is some good shit!
-
gotta love Arny singing metal songs about his movies...Get To The Chopper happens to be one of the songs on the cd.whoever does Arny's voice does a pretty good job.if you like stuff like Lamb of God then you will dig the tunes
-
He'll show up in a pimp suit and low rider convertible with dice hanging from the mirror. He'll carry a saturday night special version of the shoulder mounted lazer, and will jive talk, but the predators signature warble.
-
And makes her boyfriend watch
-
Ive been thinking about this concept for a while now. Imagine the British and the American forces having to deal with a super Predator? Both sides are losing troops at an alarming rate, they think its the Iranians or Russians. Both governments send in there elite special forces, the SAS and Delta force etc. have the lone SAS/Delta guy who finally defeats the Predator be kidnapped and took to their home world at the end, thus setting up a sequel. I can see a money shot now of an Apache helicopter hovering in a sandy canyon in the daylight when a fully cloaked Predator leaps onto the fucker, scaring the shit out of the pilot inside, Terminator 2 style.
-
it will suck. far too reliant on special fx means it will not be as good as the original.
-
Didn't make that steaming turd any better, did it? At this point just get me a good Alien Vs Predator Vs Marines game for my PS3 or 360 and I'll be happy.
-
This sounds pretty damn sweet. I got faith in Rodriquez. http://sickpicks.blogspot.com/
-
Why did they have to go with Rodriguez's script?!! This sounds like fan-fiction written with a 12 year old mentality. Yes, the original predator wasn't a super serious movie, but it played the concept straight and it was a serious attempt at a horror movie. This sounds like Snakes on a Plane or another GrindHouse movie idea. A team of multi-cultural badasses kidnapped to the Predator planet, fighting predator falcons and dogs!? This is totally the wrong approach to be taking. It might be fun, but it also turns the whole predator concept into some kind of campy joke from the sound of it. Hopefully this Nimrod guy can make something out of it. I suppose it MIGHT work if he handles it really straight-forward and carefully.
-
What a waste of time. Fucking latino reviewers.
-
Aren't those the same donkeys who gave raves and big thumbs-up to the scripts for TRANSFORMERS, G.I. JOE, VOLTRON, etc? Those guys wouldn't know a good screenplay from a hole in the ground. Besides, PREDATOR is just another franchise that should be laid to rest. Let it be.
-
Why would they waste time kidnapping and taking US to THEM?
-
Crush da M 'n M's, drive 'dem buffalo, and heah da lemon nation of da women.
-
And it was ALREADY done. A "Predator jacked up on steroids"? Did the reviewer not see the dumb designs for the Predators in AvP? Ridiculously over-bulked to appear more "imposing"?
-
As it's been said, it sounds like some shit I would have turned in for a writing assignment when I was 12 years old. Mutlicultural team of badasses, indeed. Done to fucking death, man. Done to fucking death. When Rodriguez first came on the scene he had such promise...
-
Why's it gotta be black?
-
Man that was the first think that came to my mind, hope not a mgs rip off
-
...not the woman....unless the woman is Salma Hayek or Rose Mcgowan.
-
Lot of good points made so far in this Talkback about the formulaic approach this movie may fall victim too. Let's hope it doesn't happen.
-
The Screenplay For The New PREDATOR Movie Is 'Bloody, Violent, and Hard R'!! And there'll be snippets of it on the "extreme special edition" (not shown in the cinemas) dvd's special features, after the PG main feature. How many times does a battered wife go back for another pasting and how many FUCKING times do old franchises have to be shit on before the penny drops that reboots are aimed at fucking tweenies.
-
...Deepak Chopra...portayed by Mike Myers. After making his cameo, Myers will look at the camera and say, "Ah, thank you."
-
Predator's Revenge: Polanski's coming for you tissue bra stuffing little girls!!!
-
Arguably my favorite character from "Predator".
-
I'd drop all the whining-ass haters from this TB on the Predator planet. It'd give their children their own prey to hunt, although they'd still be way outclassed by infant Predators.<p> This sounds like it could be seriously awesome; hope the studio stays the fuck out of the way and doesn't pussy up the script.
-
doesn't really instill confidence.<p>Also, 8 humans with a lower-level of technology get dumped in a completely unfamiliar setting and they're put up against 3 "super" predators with dogs and falcons? How can the predators lose? And if they do lose, how are we ever supposed to think of them as bad ass again?
-
...Rupert Everettt. After being discovered he'll put on a top hat and start singing, "Hello my baby, Hello my darling, hello my ragtime gal..."
-
"I'm gonna cut your name in two!" in Russian? I am looking forward to this. haters be fucked.
-
And I am NOT contributing to the fucking already ridiculously high illiteracy level of the West by watching a fucking video review! TYPE IT OUT YOU LAZY DUMB MOTHERFUCKERS!!!<P> GAAAAHHH!!! Fucking Script Girl replacements...
-
AICN has been playing or linking LR script reviews longer than SG. I for one am glad she's off the site.
-
Completely fucking pointless, no-one on the TBs fucking wants them, and they're ONLY there BECAUSE THE BLACK BOXERS THINK THEY'RE COOL!!<P> Guess what? VIDEO REVIEWS ARE NOT COOL - THEY'RE FUCKING LAME!!!
-
Does't make it any more lame, though. Fucking video reviews. Do the site mods think we're all 12, or something??
-
I want this script to read now! Was watching the original recently and it really holds up. Fucking classic.
-
How hard is it to just transcribe what you say so someone can just quietly read it?
-
Man that sounds perfect! It's a FANTASTIC idea for a Predator movie! My only concern is that Troublemaker studios REALLY needs to step up their special effects game. They are lagging pretty fucking far behind all the other houses in terms of quality. Predators needs high quality effects and I don't see Rodriguez farming any of them out to anyone else.
-
here's my wallet, take whatever you'd like.
-
Back when LR still remembered how to type.
-
Predator and Alien is dead. Let them fucking die and get some real talent out there with new material. Go see District 9 and understand what an original thought is.
-
He loves it and says it's gory and violent and "hard-R." Story takes place on the Predators' homeplanet, and has creatures like "Predator Falcons" and shit in it. Described as "a jungle from the cretaceous period." Opening sequence takes place with our main character, Royce, chasing down someone on a rooftop. The sequence ends with him killing his prey with the Predator watching. The Predator then kidknaps him. We next see the character parachuting onto the Predator planet. Soon after we meet seven other characters who also parachuted onto the planet: Cuchillo, Nikolai, Isabelle, Stans, Mombasa, Hanzo, and Edwin. All hardened badasses - criminals, military types, etc. They soon realise they're prey in a game of cat and mouse and they take off on the run in the jungle. The Predator planet is a game reserve. A 'Black Super Predator' leads the hunting party of two other Super Predators - basically "Predators hopped up on steroids" - hunting the humans. The characters eventually hook up with an American soldier called Nolan hiding in a cave. They find out that the Predators have been dropping humans into the game preserve for years. The script includes a cameo appearance from Arnie.
-
Why? Bc people get bored watching video and listening to narration. To avoid the viewer from switching the channel, you want to keep your story short and sweet. <p> And to do so, you cut out the REAL meat and potatoes from the review, and your product ends up getting distilled into crappy sound bytes like "its totally awesome". <p> Gone is any real constructive criticism, which would be found in a written review, and we're left with a cold shell, a pale imitation of a "review" that gives us nothing but summary. Shitty, shitty, shitty. Shitty-shitty bang bang guys. This is lame.
-
Blame LR for not writing up reviews anymore. AICN is just giving us the review bc otherwise, we wouldn't have it (I for one don't visit LR). <p> Or, we can blame AICN for not reviewing the script themselves, if they had the means to do so.
-
...is for showcasing boobs or painfully epic fails. And the occasional trailer. This is none of that. GTFO, Latino Review. <p> Ironically, the aforementioned rules are exactly why I WOULD occasionally watch SG vids. Take note, LR.
-
Sorry, I fell asleep waiting for the video.
-
There is not a cameo appearance by "Arnie". The review specifically said we'll get a cameo appearance by.... <p>.... THE CHOPPA!!!
-
My fellow AICN Talkbackers...I give you your new internet catch-phrase meme = "Predator Falcons". Take it and run with it.<P>And here...we...go!
-
What, you can't write out a review? Is that beyond your talentless abilities? And what the fuck is a "multi-cultural" team of badasses dropped onto a reserve for Predators? GTFO Rodriguez. Honestly. Please explain to me how "multi-cultural" El Mariachi was you git. Dollars to donuts you'll gut this for fucking 13-year-old's earning a HARD PG-13.
-
...sometimes they're OK. Just not of something text based. If you're reviewing, say, a movie, you can show a few clips to illustrate your points and so on. This works especially well in video game video reviews. It's silly and gratuitous to do a multi-person script review though.
-
"Soldier in a cave named Nolan" D.V's right, all signs point to BALE. I have my fingers crossed for a scene where he crashes THE CHOPPA and walks away, then throws a few preda-dogs over a cliff. <p> And if they've got a game preserve on the Predator homeworld, wouldn't it have to be representative of human habitat, and therefore look like a big suburban sprawl, rather than jungle? That's what I want to see; a Star Trek-anized multi-ethnic cast of super-mercs being hunted by ruthless aliens through a bizarrely re-created approximation of suburban utopia. Featuring, y'know, like, shots of dead raped preda-deer or something, because, y'know, Bale.
-
I disagree. Scriptgirl only had two things going for her, and neither were talent. I'm just wondering what's the difference between Latino Movie Review, and White Movie Review, and Black Movie Review, etc.
-
AKA, AICN <p> wokka wokka!
-
I never listened to her. Ever. I just like how she decorated her funbags.
-
if i hear anymore shit about "multi-cultural" i'm gonna puke my kraft macaroni and cheese! here's 2 suggestions for the lead predator...WHINNY JEW PREDATOR or TACKY ITALIAN PREDATOR...feel free to add your own hysterical predators please>
-
There's a story in the UK media about the ex MOBO panellist Paul McKenzie talking about how Glasgow is "too white a city" to host the upcoming MOBO awards.<P> Quite apart from how even the concept of "Black Music" awards is at its heart segregationist and anti-inclusive, this is actually a racist remark. Can you imagine the outcry if this were a music festival saying "Sorry, we can't host it in London, the city's too black?". The outcry would be so vast the UK would probably self-implode with self-righteous middle-class post-Imperialist white guilt and hypocrisy. Yet, because it's a black person accusing a fucking CITY of not being the right colour for his precious awards, he ISN'T racist. Because, y'know, only WHITE people can be racist.<P> Same shit with this "Latino Review". Why, is it too good for whites and blacks? Is it the place to go if I want my reviews pimped, lowered, and hydraulics fitted? Is its patron saint John Leguizamo?!?!?<P> Fucking "positive" discrimination racist BULLSHIT...
-
Since Trek is being rebooted, how about reimagining Klingons as the Predator race of beings? Seems to me there could be some fun w/that!
-
A white, working-class indigenous English Predator who's fed up with having his entire country legalise every group's right to casual racism in the UK EXCEPT the indigenous English. That particular Predator is completely confused as to why his own Government is so ashamed of its own race, that it actively promotes racism AGAINST itself. And htis Predator is heartily sick of the white middle-class post-Imperialist guilt bullshit that it has been beating itself with ever since some genius in the UK decided the English were the only race on the planet who did bad stuff in its background that it should be ashamed of.<P> You could call this Predator "Spud"...

Sorry. Just a bit pissed off at all this segregrationist bullshit masquerading as a celebration of one race's own achievements, when all it does is promote segregationalism, denigrate the very country it is allowed to promote its own brand of racism in, and gets away with it becuase hte British Government is so ashamed of being white it allows bullshit like this fucking MOBO situation to go unchecked, instead of calling it for what it is: A BLATANTLY RACIST REMARK THAT SHOULD BE FUCKING APOLOGISED FOR.<P> Yep, there I go again...

I mean, come on, the fact that the main villian Predator is the only one specified to be "BLACK"? (Whatever that means to a Predator?) Debates and accusations will fly over possible racism when this movie hits, it's a guarantee.

...Black Dynamite. "But Super Black Predator, I sell drugs to the community!"
-
I'm with ya bro on the "reverse racism" bullshit. Got it all over the damn place here in the States too. Racism ain't goin' anywhere until every fuckin' body drops the 'tude and forgets the past - which I don't see happenin' any time soon. What makes all of this even more, er, hilarious is that according to geneticists - "As a biological rather than a social construct, “race” has ceased to be seen as a fundamental reality characterizing the human species." <p> http://raceandgenomics.ssrc.org/Lewontin/

Because they're really missing an Eskimo in that line-up. An Eskimo with a laser harpoon. Yah.
-
They need to kill the chick first. Or second. That would throw a wrench in to the whole multicultural crap. And I agree with you- i it follows that pattern- that shit social commentary pattern- the movie will be shit.
-
If they make the predator falcons and predator dogs or whatever the fuck they are look just like predator-ish looking versions of falcons and dogs they can get the fuck out too. Do not fuck this up Robert!

Wasn't the whole concept of Predator built around them coming HERE to hunt us? Why bother with dragging us back to a jungle there? Also: how much fucking ammo can the chaingun guy reasonably carry around? He shoots that gun for 17 seconds and is like "Oh, well, shit--that's me?!?" The jailbird is armed only with a shank? Yes, he's a real danger to the Predators, way to pick a scary fight there, dipshits.

Any ideas?

You know what? Fuck it- Jack Nicholson as the Riddler
by Particularly Hard Vato
Completely reinvent as a legendary FBI agent who has broad unofficial authority and bends/twists the rules, tortures people, works with criminals to find the FBI's most wanted he is after. Just one cold-hearted bastard. They call him the Riddler because he figures out the psychology of the criminals he is after and teases them to reveal themselves- riddles them out- even if it means they keep getting victims- and they bring him in to hun the batman.
-
Or more of the same shit?
-
Why does it have to be a random mix of so-called "badasses" filled with nothing but stock characters? Ooh, the silent, nerdy guy - I bet we'll spend three quarters of the run time trying to figure out why he's so dangerous. And, as someone mentioned above, wouldn't they run out of ammo pretty quickly on the Predator planet? What kind of fight is this?

-
The review really didn't do anything to get me excited for the movie. He kept talking about the great action, but how great can it be? And Predator Dog and Falcons? That sounds a little iffy. As for the Super Black Predators who are Predators on steroids....really? What was wrong with the regular Predators? But the movie seems pretty predictable. Group of "warriors" on the planet, hunted by Predators. We have a guy living in a cave, who's there to explain what's going on. Obviously the main character survives and either gets to go home or is put out to stud. As for Arnold, can they find his dead body? That would be an interesting cameo. I'm all for a cool Predator movie. What I never understood is why they didn't do a movie with the Predators as the heroes. Who cares if they can't talk. People would sit through a silent movie with great action. As of right now, the movie feels like The Condemned. And Troublemaker studios does not have a good effects team and has never done a hugh movie like this. So I'm skeptical.

-
Seriously.
-
Anyone dumb enough to greenlight such a horrible treatment will also be dumb enough to eventually go the PG-13 route upon release. It's obviously not geared toward a more 'mature' audience (not that 'Predator' was either), but at least that had the benefit of coming first and not being so uber-derivative as this dreck. Has Shane Black not run out of money yet?
-
And for that matter, what's with these things called "movies" and "television programs"? Why can't the lazy fucks just post the scripts and let us quietly read them to ourselves? FUCK ME!!!! The only thing worse than the quality of this year's movies is the quality of the talkbacks coming from the leaky colostomy bags who post here just to piss and moan and shit on everything in the fucking world!
-
I'm down for having a Predator story that follows the Predators around as the "heroes" of the piece.
-
Jesus, what a way to over-complicate a simple concept and screw it over. Sounds like a (bad) videogame plot, down to the stereotypes.
-
Unless all LR cares about are explosions and guns and gore and and could care less about motivation and logic... Wait a sex, they DID like GI Joe, didn't they?
-
All of the others have got some useful weaponary. He's dropped on the Predator planet with a fucking knife he put together in prison!<p>Sucks to be Stanz.
-
Animals were killed in the colosseum or are killed in canned hunts. Because not everyone that wants "the thrill of the hunt" wants to travel to far reaches. Also this way there is no chance the prey will get away.
-
Those hunts were made for the benefit of Caesar and for the entertainment of all who could attend. <p> I find it funny that the baddest Predators of all time would need a "canned" hunt.

I too am sick of EVERYTHING being video, and often fucked up by the poster/reviewer trying vainly to get upped by the industry.</p><p>Video reviews are nothing but a desperate attempt for recognition. All these fuckers..Script Tits, Latino Review...all have hopes of being the next Entertainment Tonight, they sit around praying that somebody with a real fucking job see's it..and say's "Hey..now THAT person has STAR quality". Meanwhile honest journalism suffers, bandwidth is wasted, and what info there is gets buried under bad production, poorly written jokes, and the stink of narcissism. If you consider yourself a reporter or a journalist...just write the fucking piece, and leave the "on air" banter and bullshit to the fucking professionals.

Predator homeworld = failure.<p> I loved the first film--all-time classic--and liked the second film, which was a flawed effort at a great premise.<p>Going to the homeworld would be difficult to do well with an Arnold-sized movie. With this bunch making it, it will utterly fail to deliver.<p>They key to what was successful in the first one, and what was good about the second one, was *our* world. Often times, "basing it on present-day Earth" is a cop-out in a sci-fi movie, but it's the whole *point* in the Predator films.<p>The weirdness and dread of something mysterious and nameless being right next to us in our own world is where all the substance of the Predator films comes from. The drama and fear comes from not being on top of the food chain *in our own natural setting*. If you go to their planet, all you get is a bunch of bad special effects and a place where that relationship is gone.<p>When I was, say, 11, I would have been gung-ho on ideas like going to the Predator home planet. But after a while you grow up and realize that won't result in a good movie.
-
... It will be a piece of sh*t.
-
Please let it feature an opium den.

What's great about the first movie is the slowly dawning realization that Arnie's group is NOT the best group of hunters in the jungle, that something is silently stalking them and staying one step ahead of the game. <p> Something tells me there's nothing like that in the new Predator script. And there can't be when humans are dropped on an alien planet. Just by its nature, being alien, means the humans will immediately know they are not alone and not at the top.
-
Why would Predators kidnap people to bring them to their own planet? The point of the Predator was that it travelled to OTHER worlds to hunt in hostile environments. And it seems as if the characters are all going to be cliches: the "Russian bear," the stoic main hero, the smart sniper, etc. Ugh.
-
How much time and money did it take to produce this one script review video?! How can they possibly keep this up for a series of future videos? Original artwork, tons of editing, bg music...great work for an internet video, but you guys are setting a high bar for the rest in the series. I wish you luck. (and btw, why isn't the site called Latino MOVIE review or Latino script review? Latino Review sounds like a newspaper for all things Latino-American.)
-
Sounds like the stereotype from the 90s at the height of all the Hip Hop gangsta hype.<p>Predator planet must be Black Super Predator paradise. They're going to have to hire Coolio for the theme song.
-
..hilarious. "Oh my gawd, a multicultural cast, this is bullshit!" Wasn't the blessed original filled with a multicultural cast. Three white guys, two black guys, a hispanic and an indian if i remember correctly.<p> Chill the fuck out.<p> And i'm pretty sure "predator falcons" and "predator dogs" is just short-speak for predatory avians and canines indigenous to the Predator homeworld. There is many an example of scripts that simplify specifics just to get the point across to the suits. Instead of saying "falcon-like creature indigenous to the Predators world" they just created a simpler term.<p> Chill the fuck out.<p> The only problem i have with the review, is that they don't mention if the characters are worth a damn. Do they stand out as unique and interesting characters or are they just ciphers waiting to be slaughtered? The real problem with the fuckwits behind both AVPs is they either forgot or never really knew why Predator and Alien/Aliens are classics: the characters are the stars not the creatures. The Predator and the Aliens were just icing on a cake of bad-assery in the first place. Both Franchises are endlessly quotable because of the humans. The parts and the actors made those films what they were. The bells and whistles of high tech alien gizmos and monstrous savagery just defined what genre we were watching.
-
But I'll focus on the other complaint I'm reading here that blows my mind. Are people really complaining about video reviews?!? At first I thought it was a joke, but I guess I underestimated the ability of people to get their panties in a twist over such a non-issue.<P>BTW, script girl is hot, and doesn't do script reviews, she reports script sales.<P>Also, if you transcribe a video script review, it's at least a good page of text. I haven't read many script reviews that were longer than a page. They are harder to produce, on top of writing out a script review there's graphics, sound editing, visual cues, etc. No one that produces one is lazy.
-
They suck. I'd rather read a summary by the AICN crew. Just draw straws, or pull pickled eggs out of a jar until someone gets the black egg if you can't decide who will write it.
-
He owes me money...
-
...I dig what you are saying: the first Predator was the A-Team of the Rainbow Coalition. I just don't like the idea that they are specifically marketing it as such. I could give a tinkers damn about their skin pigmentation seeing as how their character will be bathed red in their own blood sooner or later. I want nasty. I want visceral. I want Carl Weathers with a fucking stump for an arm cutting loose with an MP-5. And for the record, the second Predator had Danny Glover and I dug his ass kickery as well.
-
Even if I could watch streaming videos at work, I wouldn't, because I don't want to have to sit through someone's lame attempts at video production just to get the info I could have skimmed in 15 seconds of reading. There are legitimate uses for a video review (video games, or, y'know, an actual movie), but why use video to review TEXT? More than a little ironic, and just annoying enough to warrant a label of FAIL.
-
at everything.
-
i want it now now now now now
-
That's your hang up. Predator came out before the internet, before mass media. You're not trying to say you don't think the original script intentionally described a multi-cultural group are you? "Poncho, "Dutch", "Billy" the indian? The only difference is that now you are privy to what's under the hood.<p> And no, they aren't marketing anything, you just happen to have access to this stuff. If you didn't look for it, you would have no idea until you saw a trailer, like most people. <p> Y'know what i want? I want to care that "Dillon" just got his arm blown the fuck off and instead of just giving up the ghost, he tried to use his other arm to fight, that's what i want. I want to leave the theater with a new bunch of quotes to add to my lexicon.
-
Predator dogs and predator falcons? Might be difficult to pull off without looking like they copied the creature designs from Delgo 2...I mean Avatar.

Whatever happend to Script Girl?
-
she had this movie that made some money apparantly. ill try and get the link for u guys again
-
http://tinyurl.com/y9t6zp8 <p> can you say mind-blowing? its okay dont know why she resorted to that
-
The Predator can't even take Danny Glover in a fight. Danny fuckin' Glover....it takes the man 10 seconds and a head roll to shoot straight and he beats a Predator!!?? C'mon Y'all!!
-
And yet there's EIGHT human characters being hunted and then a NINTH they find on the planet and a TENTH in a cameo? How do you cram all that into 90 pages without 1/4" margins?!!!
-
No to mention I haven't been impressed with a Rodriguez film yet.
-
How can the predators consider these people elite prey when they can kidnap them without incident in a matter of seconds. I want to see the movie but it makes no sense whatsoever.
-
There is NO original artwork in that video. Every bit of artwork you see comes from someone else, be it fan art work or from the comic book series.
-
if the predators kidnap humans to take to the home world to hunt...why the fuck do they come to earth to hunt there??? fuck this script...give us the dark horse comics take on predators...you motherfuckers
-
and has been out of la to do it...dont know if she will ever return to youtube
-
I might be one of the few that loves "Predator 2!" Talk about bloody and violent!
-
Script Girl is gone?
-
as far as i can remember the predators were greenish colored with white/yellow chest and trunk right?? wouldn't black predators just mean these guys are just covered in black flesh?? i know there was lots of joking but a few used that as a weak point to rip on the script. much like evry other movie i haven't seen i'll just make up my mind when i see it

"Mother(predator spear launches)!!" this movie will be censored, yet they will claim it's true to it's roots because they have a big black dude in the suit like the 1st one. Personally Predator 2 was my fave anyway cuz I showed the Predators had some code they followed, i.e. not killing a pregnant chiq.
-
.. why don't the predators just use whatever the hell they used to locate and kidnap all of these "badasses" so easily? The movie would be like 10 minutes long.
-
After he leaves office he'll be trying to raise some cash and get his face back in the spotlight to lineup his run for Congress or V.P. or whatever hairbrained scheme he has cooked up to get into the Oval Office. As long as FOX is willing to pony up the campaign contribution,I predict we'll see some Dutch(although I'd rather see the ghost of Jesse Ventura)
-
Did it. That's what the hell the guys were in the first go around. They offed the normal level badasses and then had to call in Arnie's Super Fantastic Happy Fun Hour Team. No collection of military guys is ever going to be as fucking badass as Arnie, The Body etc. For crying out loud, Apollo Creed was supposed to be notquiteasgood as those guys. Not to mention the fact that they got wiped out despite having worked as a team for years. So sadly we have to keep morphing the hunted group to "keep it fresh" and pretend that a bunch of individual (relative) badasses somehow has a chance that the the well trained team that included Arnie, The Body and Apollo Fucking Creed didn't. Nonsense. Why don't they really stretch things and cast a criminal with night vision and a little girl?
-
If the skinny, normal looking guy is really Kevin Spacey's character from 7, I am IN.
-
If the cameo, turned out to John Doe, from Seven.

All of them conveniently armed, all of them seasoned bad asses or thugs, none of them are comprised of the same race or technical background. The only human with a normal name is a head hat wearing serial killing nutter named Edwin. <P> The film opens up with a scene torn right out of the opening of Predator 2. Hell they even video match the description with a clip from P2. A jacked to 11 version of the Predator. The same nostalgia/cheap to make plot of the original. Place em in the woods and have them fight to survive, only now it's a group of hunter preds. Nothing new here folks. It's all nostalgia mixed with crappy unoriginal ideas. <P> Latino Review you fucking piss me off!!!!!! You gave the Nightmare remake two huge ass pederass anal baby seal raping thumbs up as well. I don't belive in online critic reviews anymore. Anyone can be one now, al they need is 200 bucks to buy the web space and a domain name. Most of these big budget summer films have adopted the video games ethic. They fear doing anything new with the properties- It's all "Well it worked before, repackage and use it again." EZ money.... Movies like operas and stage plays need to die off in a big way until real artist come back to resurrect it. Not some 3d shit not some vibrator chair not some 15 dollar popcorn drink combo. Fuck movies kinda suck now.

Wait so no Predator VS Aliens Vs Critters Vs Freddie Vs Jason V
by Mr_Satan
That's just fucked.
-
Stupid character limit
-
Ummm...we've only seen about two dozen Predators total in all movies, right? If you saw two dozen Swedes you might conclude all Earthlings had blond hair, but you'd be pretty frickin' wrong. They can produce Predators of unknown class, breeding, color or shape--the real question is whether the characters will be memorable, the story make sense, and the action kick ass.
-
...that will fuck this movie right up if cast (but you KNOW Fox won't be able to resist): XZIBIT, Ice Cube, LL CoolJ, Jason Statham, Sam Worthington, Common, Dennis Quaid... you know where I'm going with this. Get fucking ACTORS. You know, like Jesse Ventura (just kidding, but not really... that guy spit tobacco like he'd loved it all his life).
-
Now that i've got your attention i don't mind video reviews! Hope this is good but will believe it when i see it!
-
..uummm, as the badasses don't know they are being watched by aliens with cloaking devices, i'm just gonna assume they aren't actively trying to evade aliens with cloaking devices as they go about their daily jobs of badassery.<P> Seriously, that's supposed to be a loophole?

Some one call Stone Cold Steve Austin for Condemned 2: "Where da
by OnO
Super Black Predators? That sounds used. The Alien is black. This new beast in Avatar is Black. The creatures from Pitch Black...were black. Go Fucking purple or red something we haven't seen with bitching squid colors and striping. Have them has female Predators since the fan based novel are always going on that they are larger and stronger. Think of all the alien cleavage shots you could smash on the screen with complimentary one liner tit jokes from the hero. Until the trailer comes out I can't help but dread the cast of rejects from Zartan's Dreadnoks in this video review.
-
...funny.<p> It amuses me that a constant gripe about science fictions portrayal of aliens is that their entire species tend to all look alike, but when a change is made to show they have differences as varied as humans, the griping begins.<p> I know that's just the nature of Talkbacks, but cheese and rice it gets annoying.
-
Because the hunts are pleasure. It would be like hunting moose with carpet bombing. It isn't about efficiency, its about testing their mettle against worthy opponents. This is why they put all tech aside to fight Arnie and Danny--they had earned respect, and were worthy of a real face-down. If you don't have a weapon, they won't even bother with you.
-
You figure he was the main one but then elite military Predators show up and do nothing and then a fucking Predator King with a throne and shit shows up and does nothing. And the fucking black Predator dies off screen. What the fuck? AND THERE'S FUCKING MEN WITH MANTIS ARMS AND PREDATOR LEGS. AHAHAHAHAHA. I'm totally serious.
-
They had a deal with humans and wanted Dutch on their home world. Lame.
-
No I am not shitting you.
-
They should have the equivalent of the Predator's PETA show up with protest signs and spray paint the humans so they their skins are worthless if removed.
-
well established in the films and comics. Fuck I remember everyone nutting up of the look of the rasta pred-alien and how dumb it looked- When it was exact to how it looked in the comic series. both AVP's ripped scenes and characters right out of the comics. This plot roll out has nothing new to it. It sounds more liek a hybrid remake than a sequel. It's backbone rooted in nostalgia and winks to the previous films and the big selling point is a dutch cameo, fuck even the minigun returns. The characters names are laughable and rare. Those are not real names, they aim to be bigger than life just like the character types playing them. I know the preds seek prized prey, but come on... Does everyone have to have a cinematically impossible name and an amazing background in crime thugery and kickassedness. This is ok? honestly, no plain janes or real names.

Robert and Nimrod REALLY wanting to make this their mature Aliens to Alien kind of respectful sequel. I also see cinema taking a great turn of change for the better. More talent, hard work. Times are hard (war and poor finances) We will see a surge of great cinema/escapism. Tron2 will rock as well. (there will still be plenty of shit films making big money too. But, like the seventies...pain brings talent.

This Just In - Major Shakeup At Studio, PREDATORS PG-13
by ThusSpakeSpymunk
You can guarantee without a doubt that this will not get made with a "hard R" rating. it either won't happen, or it will be watered down to PG-13. The kids love that Predator! Guaran-damn-teed no hard r here.
-
Those days are over, now everything's too clean, the predators don't get dirty anymore, the film quality is too clear with blueray. It just isn't the same without the gritty picture and the raw sense of exposure. Plus, there aren't any tough guys left in hollywood.
-
I'm going to go out right now and buy a Rottweiller, and I'm going to name him Black Super Predator.
-
What, the Russian guy is going to have this giant gun and be all like "AH HAH HAH HAH! IS GOOD, JAH?" and the Japanese guy will be saying things like "Honor my ancenstors -- beeyotch!" Christian-Bale hit it rifght when he said thre'll be an American who goes out like a pussy (probably getting drawn and quartered by Predator Dogs and Predator Falcons) after hitting on the chick (how dare he!). And the evil dude will either turn out to have a heart of gold or be a super bad ass like Malkovich in CON AIR and end up attacking the humans in the final battle because they can then remove the Predators from the action and still have cheap budget conflict. Predator, pleez.

Predators in feudal Japan, taking on Samurai's and Ninjas. <p> Though with a guy called Hanzo in the gang am sure he will put out a katana at some stage.

Not impressed by that either, learn how to write.

Make it happen douchebags.
-
who ask why the Predators would be bringing humans back to their homeworld to do what they've been established as ritualistically doing on other worlds?<br><br>I have not watched the script review (that sounds funny to say, and yes video script reviews suck), but from what I read about it, the movie sounds pretty bad. That being said, my postulation on why this might be happening is that there are maybe some older, richer Predators on their homeworld who don't feel like schlepping about space anymore to do their hunting, and thus hire the poorer Predators to go get them some real prey so they can hunt without leaving their hood.<br><br>I'm not quite sure how this impacts the role the supposed "black" predator, but it's a shot.
-
OMG OMG OMG....you actually wrote.... <p> "Christ, no wonder half of the western population wouldn't recognise a book if it was put in front of them, and think that laughter is spelt 'LOL'. <p> Spelt? Are u kidding me? Just for that expect a visit from one of my associates. Instead of being transported to our homeworld you will be sent, via a short spaceship, to a planet where retarded Predators hunt the more mentally challenged Terrans. Its our version of Special Olympics. Instead of a spectacular demise from a shoulder mounted cannon expect something more along the lines of being beaten with a hockey helmet and dry humped to death.
-
Not as interesting as I thought it could've been. Hopefully it's not as dumb as described by Latino Review. Frankly, I'd rather see an English-language remake of Battle Royale.
-
Seriously, the script outlined in this review sounds like a bad fanfic written by a fifteen year old. Even the comics would probably shy away from this formulaic outline. <br><br> (One of) The problem(s) is that it risks watering down the predators so much it makes them funny or likeable, not mysterious and monstrous. Both AVP films made this mistake. <br><br> I could go on with the list of bad ideas in this film (right down the the basic premise : Why the hell would the Predators move the humans to the Predator planet in the first place? Is this supposed to be training for young Predators or something? And why have so many 'super predators'? Oh hell, I'll stop now.) <br><br> That said, shooting scripts often differ wildly to what gets filmed (see: The Puppet Masters) so hopefully some work happens to make this palatable. <br><br> Oh, and the video review was terrible. <br><br> On a positive note, sounds like Ridley has his thinking cap on for the Alien Prequel. And District 9 proved that filmmakers can still generate new, solid films.
-
It's unreal how much racism is out there. Jeez, I'm a normal white boy and the hatred for the "Latino Review" and a "multi-cultural" screenplay is ridiculous. I simply scanned the talkbacks and was compelled to write. Jesus would approve? You think so don't you, redneck.
-
<sorry double post> <br> This *does* sound like a video game narrative!
-
All of you people who are supposed Science Fiction fans? Shame on you.
-
Sorry but this idea that the Predators grab humans to their planet to kill them sounds so lame. The sequences sounds too videogamish and doesn't appear to have any kind of weight to film. The idea is a clone of Cameron's idea to a T. Copy the beats from the original and have more deaths and sfx. If only The Expendables were the cast then maybe I would be interested but as of right now? This feels like a straight to video release.
-
because it's bullshit, and unrealistic- wow I can't believe I said that, but then again, yes, yes I can, because good sci fi works believe in the characters as much as they do the fiction. Also get the names of the ethnic types. Mumbassa and Honzo. No that is racist. I am not. I did say i wanted a whiteguy only flick. I'm just saying that this choice seems like a play to pull all types in to watch it, but sadly the characters are larks and sterotypes. <P> My latino review hate is simple. They fucking lied about the nightmare remake being good, they lied about the poltergeist remake and the new he-man they suck when it comes to judgment calls or they are paid to say the colorful wonder glowing lying ass bullshit they say.
-
fucking typo. i'm always drunk anyways. one foot in the grave and all means i just done give a fuck.

Chu know we latinos can't reed! Yo meng, dis fucking script gotta bloody chicano gloss to it, meng. Its got de schwarzenegger cameo, a latina, George Lopez and jokes on latino-supremacy, an Obama-predator, a chihuahuah predator, American tex-mex with chimmichangas, chi-chi getting de yayo, Danny Trejo as machete again, every fucking stereotype there is, meng, chu got it! This script is one ugly motherfucker, without any of de memorable one-liners from de first movie meng, like a tiger!
-
Yea, so the Predators are gonna go round up a loose band of degenerates of our society. I thought they wanted a challenge. They're supposed to be the greatest hunters in the galaxy. Why wouldn't they fly over to the Delta compound in Ft. Bragg and grab a handfull of fully armed Delta Operators. That would make for a good movie. Of course that was basically what happened in the original. Elite military. Predator and Alien/Aliens were great movies. Everything else sucked. This franchise is dead to me.
-
I reckon a few people on here have read it, so someone tell me how this story DOESN'T have all the ingredients of a kick-ass film? As well as featuring a whole gang of predators vs a whole nest of aliens (including queen) vs a whole frontier town of human colonists (its set during the alien time period), it actually has a reasonably well developed lead character with some genuine emotion to her (a bit ripley maybe, but that's not a bad thing) and a plot that knows how to build up tension and intensity rather than showing a 90 minute fight and calling it a movie. What's more, it actually treats the predators as the sentient individuals they are, rather than just lumping them in with the aliens in the "mindless killing machine" category. The excellent novelisation even gives us their internal thoughts, though this might be a step too far for the movie.<br><br>But no. Instead we get, as many have put it, a fucking video game instead of a movie, where "plot" is a dirty word and "multicultural" translates as "a whole bunch of painfully obvious racial stereotypes". I mean, why is every Japenese guy a Yakuza enforcer? Why is every Russian guy some kind of bear-wrestling hulk? Why is La Femme Nikita in it? And if there's an English guy in there, what odds he speaks "Cockernee"?<br><br>Despite making films I've enjoyed, I've long thought that Rodriguez has all the emotional development of a 12 year old and this seems to prove it. At least Ridley Scott still gives a damn about things like plot and character, so his alien reboot might be worth a watch. As for this, I'm gonna leave the "cool" movie to the sort of emotionally retarded, shallow idiots who think "cool" is the only thing on earth that matters and save my money for a film that actually has a story worth telling.

Listen Hollywood you want to make money. Get the rights to Ranks of Bronze by David Drake. Fuck it all up and then enter the profit zone. It's Roman Legions fighting for an Alien Trading Guild. Think 300 and Gladiator vs the Universe.

He makes films that are worthy comparisons to 80s action films... all the cheese, terrible one liners, awful acting. but the problem is they haven't been shot in the 80s and therefore we can't excuse all these shortcomings. then he dares brag that the film cost him 10 bucks to make... who the fuck cares, it's a piece of shit. this movie won't be any different... and it won't be any better than Paul WS Anderson's version. A rag tag, multi cultural group of badasses??? give me a fucking break
-
This reboot/sequel thing of classic sci-fi movies (Alien/Terminator/Predator) are aimed at tweenees and the disturbing amount of adults that never grew up. (In a creepy Michael Jackson way, not an innocent Peter Pan way). But mostly its the teenees that will see this, They Have to make it PG or the studio won’t make its money back. If I was a producer id make sure it was PG otherwise I be shitting bricks I wouldn't break even. Its just business. However, id put on a front that its going to be all R rated blood ect to get the geeks on board, and just before the movie is officially rated, cut it down to PG, pissing the geeks off, BUT (and this is the clever part) the geeks curiosity will get the better of then and they will fork out for it anyway. Seeing as they have been looking forward to the movie go much and they have the money to because its not like they have girlfriends bleeding them dry of cash and free time!
-
Read a few comments and does indeed sound like a good premise for a game not sure about the movie. <p> Then again its all on direction and production really, I love Aliens and am sure if you described the premise you would say it sounds cool, but does sound like a game. <p> I still want my homage/copy of Aliens/Seven Samurai involving Aliens in a castle/village in feudal Japan, and the seven samurai who are employed to sort it out. Of course there would be over the top alien and human blood gushing out. Loved the intensity of Aliens and for me that is the key, to make the hunters become the hunted. <p> You also need the brilliant lines from Aliens like : <p> "Hudson: Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man? Vasquez: No. Have you?" <p> If only I had Tarantino's money
-
Your post makes no sense to me. Are you saying i shouldn't have used the word 'spelt' in my post?<p>"SPELT (splt) - A past tense and a past participle of spell"<p>Of course, it's entirely possible that you were making some sort of joke that went completely over my head. <p>I like your TB name.
-
I'm really dubious that this will be any good, even if there is some reasonable talent involved. The plotline does sound a bit silly. Do predator really consider humans that much of a challenge that they would bring them to the homeworld? Maybe if they were from the future with serious technological augmentation they would be a worthy challenge. Predators vs samourai is an awesome idea Miyamoto. Far more interesting that yet another predators vs contemporary 'badasses' film.
-
OMG RACIST! why's he got to be black? someone give a Black predator a chance. why cant he be the President of the predators or a Predator Law Professor? oooooh the BLACK PREDATOR soooo scary. spit stereotypes. seriously though, the characterizations sound stupid as shit. some dude from a prison with a homemade soap knife? a japanese yakuza named hanzo a french spy chick stupid.
-
that the movie will be good.AVP Requiem anyone? <p>where can we get the script to read it? i only trust my own opinion.
-
even since AvP,i was curious why the fuckturds suits dont use old materials which have been proven to be excellent and fan favourite.in fact this applies to every goddamn franchise,like Star Trek.instead of rebooting it,they could use some great star trek book stories to expand the universe on the celluloid.such idiocy.
-
fucking pain-in-the-ass who narrates that site's script reviews managing to approximate a bored, semi-retarded eight-year-old giving an elementary school report on a subject he doesn't know shit about and doesn't give a fuck for. Just because you don't know how to read, don't assume we don't either, and just post the damn script review, ya clueless twit! BTW, what exactly makes it "Latino" review? Are they all Columbian drug mules in their spare time or something?

god save the american movie industry
-
The next one will deal with the Civil Rights, Female Pred's Rights, and "anti-gratuitous stalking and slaughtering" movement on Predator Planet, followed by the next film, which will be set in the Predator Planet's equivalent of the 80's and will feature a eventually-to-be criminal Predator action director making a movie about a lone, courageous Predator who ventures to that shithole that is Earth in a film inevitably titled "Predator", which will be the next installment, a "reboot" of the original film except told from the Pred's POV...Sorry, run-on scentence from hell there...
-
and not called racist,then make the asian guy as leader of the team.or better yet make an asian/arabian/indian/inju/african/german/european etc female as leader of the group and the only survivor? what was that? impossible in these modern times? ok then.
-
...is that video reviews continue to suck and that video reviews of screenplays are even worse.
-
Which requires suspense..whatever stupid fucking ideas he has, whatever cheap ass shooting methods..super predators or birds or whatever the fuck..it needs to be TIGHTLY and SMARTLY directed..now i like the guys films but he sure as fuck aint no McTiernan
-
and virtually made these monsters seem almost cuddly...most because we didnt give a shit about anyone they were killing
-
Bullshit. It's all total bullshit. LR gives it a pass because Rodriguez is their uber-mench.
-
I see it more as this is Darth Predator, and all the other predators are the stormtroopers.
-
You can back and look at past script reviews, and compare them with the movies that came out of them...and it's often clear that they're either not getting the real scripts, or getting early drafts that still change substantially before filming. Not reliable.
-
...in our society.<p>Check out the book SUPERPREDATOR and see.<p>From Library Journal:<p>"Superpredator" is the chilling name currently given to the most severe juvenile offenders. Can they be saved? Is it right to lock them away for life? What went wrong? Elikann, an attorney...and chair of the Criminal Justice Section of the Massachusetts Bar Association, writes that these youths can indeed be helped, offering a 15-point plan based on intervention, strengthening families, rehabilitation, and role models...This book is well researched, straightforward, and unforgettable."

and i'm still waiting to see what exactly is wrong with the word 'spelt'.....
-
Will look as bad as the Hulk Dogs. Poodles that turn into giant green dogs? I mean WTF?
-
to that retarded Predator special olympics, BlackSuperPredator?
-
it sounds like a porno gangbang movie
-
it's just a stupid gimick to differentiate themselves from other movie sites
-
Seriously. Why the need to have some giant super-predator? Is your standard Predator not bad-ass enough?
-
I may not be well versed in all Predator expanded universe material however I thought they hunted their prey, on their prey's home territority- as sport for fun, for collection of skulls, or rites of passage or both. Seems strange that they would take prey back to their home turf, what if they risked exposing their world or worst case their prey actually start winning, causing a coup or something? Not sure about this direction...they could have kept in line with first two films (one is classic, two is bloody ace and like some talkback said above shows that the Predators have a code- like not killing pregnant women as well as the unarmed)and have the beastie coming back to earth for new challenge, they could have set the film in the past, like the wild west, with cowboys (referening the prize of the old shooter Danny Glover wins at the end of P2) I even like the fedual Japan idea some said above. Hell they could have set in World War 2 in the trenches,causing enemy troops to join forces to defeat a third foe. This idea...is UMMMM...

Predators w/ shrunken testicles vs. unarmed, mentally handicappe
by Deviant Apex
I think if they are planning on rebooting the series they should at least come up with cool new designs for the Predators and not just pop them full of steroids. Also, as a few others have mentioned, why in the hell would the Predators drag the humans back to their homeworld rather than just hunt them in their own environment (a.k.a. Earth). I know this is just a ploy to show off the Predator homeworld, but it still doesnt make alot of sense to me. Nevertheless, Im still a huge fan of Predator and hope this film wont disappoint.
-
It's just stupid fanboy crap. The concept itself, and every manifestation of it. It should never have been anything besides unpublished fan fiction.<p>It's crap like that which ruins properties like this. It's set back both individual properties by a huge amount, perhaps too far to ever be recovered.
-
This guy doesn't make serious action films with intensity. Even his "hard R" films are loaded with silliness and slapstick bullshit. I have no doubt this will be the same thing. I'm a Mexi-CAN! Hold on, let me shoot you with my hidden arm, and silenced revolver.

I started this multicultural debate and I am gonna try end it!
by connor187
All I was saying was that the premise sounded cliched to fuck! I mean it sounds like that pilot mentioned in Pulp Fiction. you know the one, Fox Force Five. The french chicks speciality was sex etc. I understand that the first Predator had a multicultural team but that was just it, it was a team, they were all trained the same, they where a unit, the best of the best, not a group thrown together from different parts of a stereotypical society. Are all the different cultures who will eventually watch this supposed to route for their guy? Bollocks! oh and like I said before, you can bet your fucking life the lone survivor will be the woman! Like I said cliched.
-
Clearly they have been around humans too long and have become lazy. Next thing you know they will be drinking sugared drinks out of buckets and eating deep fried lard.
-
Seriously, RR's recent effects in his films reek of cheapness and Zero creativity. The Spy Kids films, Sharkboy & Lavagirl, and Shorts. Using the "kiddie film" as an excuse can only get you so far. As long as RR is only penning the script it might stand a chance. The characters might be multicultural, but they might come off as stereotypical and cliche as well. Oh, and Latino Review make your video reviews shorter. There is a minute at the beginning of complete BS, tighten it up.
-
Once I heard that I was pretty much ready to write this off... 'The Super Black Predator"? Why not the Uber-Predator? Or, just Super Predator? Is he all Black? What is he Shaft?
-
The super hot-pink predator didn't seem as menacing, and he would stand out against the green jungle too much when he wasn't cloaked.
-
They're just stupid names. Calling a white guy London or Columbus or Ford isn't racist.

by CHRISTIAN_BALE_TRASHED_MY_LIGHTS
..dictionaries on the Predator homeworld.<p>Black_Super_Predator probably found himself scratching his dreadlocks in confusion whilst muttering: "Duh....why he talkin' about magic spells for?"
-
i havent seen anywhere a female Predator in any kind of medium,so why not? after all Predators have mate,otherwise how do they reproduce? <p>u know what i wouldnt have a problem watching a movie with a female predator going against an insance berserk male predator who doesnt follow their code of honor,and kills everything he sees.maybe team up her with a pregnant woman (in early stage),who tries to protect her from the crazy predator.maybe u can expand a little the Predator mythos,have the females to be in the low rank of hierarchy in the Predator society,something like the women in the muslim countries (the fanatic ones).maybe the female predators are only for breeding and not hunting,but one of them decides to revolt,they exile her but later she returns to save the predator team and the humans from that crazy predator,and they accept her back as equal,or whatever. <p>ok i know a female predator would have been ridiculous and totally unsexy (like the female taurens in WoW) but still if u want to be original with something,THEN BE FUCKING ORIGINAL HOLLYWOOD.

The Predators shouldn't even have a 'homeworld'
by judge dredds fresh undies
I always viewed them as a nomadic species. Ominus, maybe all the predators we've seen so far are female? Or maybe they're asexual!
-
This is that same idiot at LR that loved the god-awful He-Man script.
-
Sure, it was pure summer cheese, but in a good way.
-
Spelt is a past tense version of spelled used mostly in the UK and not widely used elsewhere including the Predator homeworld. My mom, an Uber Black Breasted Predator, would have torn my dreads out had I used that word as a small but aspiring Super Black Predator. You probably thought we only knew phrases like "over here" or "what the fuck are you" <p> We havent stalked many British subjects in our history. They taste like fish and we prefer beef. Americans on the other hand, are filled with gobs of junk food and they are akin to eating a Big Mac for us.
-
If I used my new talkback name.
-
I wanted to ... read this. I say "Fuck, no!" to video reviews, and did not click the video.
-
...an old, bearded predator who farts and falls down, setting off his shoulder gun accidently. Cinema gold!!
-
...when the typical white Predator arms his "I win" forearm bomb, where does he get a laughtrack of Sonny Landham's insane bellowing supervillain laugh? Come to think of it... Billy was killed off-screen, maybe he really WAS the Predator. Like some kind of weird Scooby Doo villain. Rodriguez should retcon that into his remake.
-
From when he was laughing at Hawkins's "you got a big pussy" joke earlier in the movie. Just like he recorded Mac's "Over here..." and used it to lure Dillon into a trap.
-
...Billy wasn't laughing like Dr. Doom on PCP, like the Predster was as Arnie flees. Do the Predators have advanced laugh-extrapolation software built in for their hunts, too?
-
the Predators true laughing...
-
how about that old predator from the sequel movie,who gives the old gun to Glover? maybe we have a movie about his adventure and how he got that gun when he was younger. <p>how about a movie where the predator is the prey? remember the secret agents from the sequel who wanted to capture a predator for its technology.how about we are in a near future (or a far one),where a young and inexperienced predator visits earth for its first hunt,but something goes wrong and he gets captured by the usa goverment or whatever secret service,they strip him out of his weapons and imprison him for experiments.he manages to escape and runs to find his ship,while the soldiers/agents whatever are hunting him.Like Dutch or Rambo he uses his training and the environment to kill his human predators.maybe he even finds an ally in the face of a young woman scientist or a veteran old dog soldier.yeah a bit cliche,i know.
-
and imho it was the movie who expanded the Predator mythos: his weapons like the spear,the net and the boomerang have become iconic,we know he can see in almost all the E/M spectrum,he visits big crowded cities,not only remote places,he ages slowly and visits earth for hunderd of years maybe thousands, and the 2 most importan thing of all: his code of honor by not killing the pregnant woman and he hunts ALIENS (the first avp movie crossover hint)

-
You got it, except you left out a critical piece of the puzzle. You NEVER EVER say it's DEFINITELY going to be 'R' - because then you've got all kinds of anarchy. You need to control it. So you do like McG, and you say "Well, the studo told me I could do whatever I wanted, and I made it as bloody and intense as I possibly could, and well wouldn't you know, the quality was so high, they gave it a PG-13 because the violence was tempered by a strong plot and characters. When you've got such a deep plot and big-name actors, you can get away with more violence and still retain PG-13." The trick is, you make SURE it's going to be PG-13, but pretend it could be any rating - to ensure the geeks won't think you're selling out to the general population. THEN, regardless of how well the movie does in the theaters, you drop a bare-bones DVD release and wait a few years and then hit a double-dip with an UNRATED EXTREME EDITION. Uh-huh. We know what's in your fat, greasy hearts, fanboys.
-
I want a timestamp for the first rap song that uses "Super Black Predator."
-
The difference was tnat the description of the movie wasn't like this: A MULTICULTURAL GROUP - TAKEN FROM THE RAINBOW OF HUMANITY ON EARTH - WILL WAGE STEREOTYPICAL WAR USING RACE-SPECIFIC WEAPONS ON AN UNSUSPECTING ENEMY - WHO JUST DOESN'T KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE HE'S IN FOR MESSING WITH THE WRONG MINORITIES!<p><P>That's the problem I have with it, because it's obvious from LR's description of the characters that they're about as one-note as CHUCK NORRIS' KARATE KOMMANDOS. "He's the bear of a Russian who laughs like HAH HAH HAH TOVARISCH!" and carries a big chain gun. He's a samauri badass named Hanzo - and he never goes ANYWHERE without his katana!" It's racist BS. Sure, there were some cultural nods in the original, but the characters were characters first and races second.<p><p>It's a little bit like the massive bullshit I called on GREY'S ANATOMY when I thought, oh, what a perfectly reasonable cast and then read the creator actually claiming "Oh, no - there was ABSOLUTELY NO RACIAL CONSIDERATION GOING ON - it just HAPPENED that EVERYONE was purely multicultural - it was PURE COINCIDENCE." uh-huh.

How can this shitty series still go on and Terminator
by lockesbrokenleg
loses rights?
-
I think we're losing alot of the AICN collective brain here. The predator laugh is just as mdf2 said. He repeats phrases he picks up several times through out the movie. He's trying to reproduce the sounds... it's what a hunter does... think duck calling, turkey calling etc. <BR> Say it to yourself slowly... sssyyymmmbbbooollliiisssmmm
-
LOL I'm still fearing T5 so much I brought it over into this TB.
-
there are better ideas in the talkback than in Hollywood. This alien planet crap sucks. A convict with a prison knife? please. Connorr187 had the right idea way up there on how they should do it. Or do it Dark Horse style, which is what AvP should have been in the first place. <p>Do a cool, simple plot like the first one, except we find out the hunts are to prove to the females the males worthiness to be part of her retinue...because the females are way more badass, like 3-4 feet taller, fast, strong and just thick (not fat, not muscular, just big). Some sort of rite of passage is performed, and the protaganist is given a trophy and offered the chance to live forever in fame. He takes the offer, and goes to the predator homeworld...where he is given a heros welcome...then he steps into a museum full of Aliens, aliens and humans,..all preserved on display, with tapes of their hunts being played. Then the movie ends. Or he meets a battle scarred Dutch in predator armor, a warrior trophy/pet/mascot for one of the females, who says "vilgom, vat year is it now, 2009?"
-
Latino review always manages to get scripts, but man are they stupid with reading them. This is going to be a huge flop. At least AvP had a chance for the first 20 minutes.<BR><BR> Ultimate fighting with built in stereo types has been done soooo many many times before since the 70's even. <BR><BR> The only way this would work is if it is a genre bending deep story drama, rather than action/adventure. Otherwise it's just "Running Man" meets "Street Fighter".<BR><BR> What made Aliens good was the *story* first, characters 2nd. <BR><BR> Black Super Predator might as well be chasing after a little girl in the end before our hero ( the unassuming everyman , wrongly convicted and chased by the FBI ), yells out "Get away from her you bitch! ( er... bastard ) <BR><BR> sigh
-
I am sick of sequels just rehashing the original, but "bigger" and "meaner." Kind of how the shark in Jaws 4 now roars and is full of nitroglycerin.
-
that we know of...so, maybe they Are the dominate bigger, badder sex...<p>Good idea, Redcamelman...
-
There was no description for the first movie because there wasn't a bleeding internet for people to bitch on, so you can't make a comparison.<p> Your criticism of "one note" characters comes from a couple of minutes of a video script review, a review of which took a few moments to give a brief synopsis of the cast. Really, do you have enough info to make such criticisms or are you just gilding the lilly?<p> Lastly, what exactly is wrong about specifically adding different races/cultures in a cast of characters in the first place? Heaven forbid you try to present a more diverse cast of humans and possibly also reach more people. Not to mention it makes sense that predators would gather a diverse group of people to hunt, as it makes the hunt more interesting.
-
That's not going to be, in 3-D, and with cute, adorable kids in it.
-
I am standing by my nitpick. You guys show me the part where the Predator records Billy laughing like Vincent Price on a meth binge (NOT just the chuckle he gives after Shane Black's joke) and I'll give back my No-Prize. This is Predator, dammit. This is IMPORTANT.
-
where he records the voice.
-
...really, REALLY fucking stupid. "Super Predators"? Really? REALLY?
-
the other predators laugh at him because he doesnt want to follow the tribal way of his race,he is against violence,he believes in pacifism,he is attracted to unarmored,naked male predators and likes to wear pink armor suits with an expanding umbrella for the sun,instead of the shoulder gun.why the hell not?
-
...now I have to buy a fucking wallet. Whaaaaa. That's what you folks sound like. If there is ever a chance for a good homage to predator, this is it. Give it a chance. And why is it every time something comes from a perspective other than straight, white, christian and male all the weirdos have to start coming out fearing their world is falling apart? Quick lesson in the history of oppression in the US...the difference between identifying something with an underrepresented culture and a dominant one is that saying something like "latino review" celebrates breaking into an industry that historically denied that group entry. In the same vein, it wouldn't make sense to have a website called 'white review' because the white racial identity is widely represented in film, and always has been. There is no history of oppression in the US against whites as a racial group. There wouldn't have been an inception of celebrating things like black history if it was part of our history from the very beginning. So drop the hate, folks. Stop acting like the world needs to ask every single straight white dude if its ok for other perspectives to be represented. As for the cast, I think Michael Emerson should play the small dude formerly on the FBI list. That would rule.
-
... Kill her first! She shouldn't even be given a single line to read. Her (inevitable) boyfriend on the "team" can be next to go. Before his eyes are even given a chance to well up - they should be spiked out! Don't want to see any tears in this movie! Did someone say R rating? ;-)
