Many PREDATORS Pics Come From Russia!!
Merrick here...
A Russian site called filmz.ru has posted a buncha images from Nimrod Antal’s forthcoming PREDATORS. These look to be an assortment of officialish publicity photos.
Punch this ugly motherfucker right in the mouth to jump to a gallery of further images.
PREDATORS isn’t (aren’t?) too far away now - it’s due in theaters July 9, shortly after THIS FANCY BLU-RAY TREATMENT OF THE FIRST FILM
arrives.
Scoring by John Debney was recently completed – we recently got a sense of his music for the film HERE.
Thanks to scriptflags.com for pointing us towards these pics.

What si this Ultimate version shit all about?
-
I'm not sure I think about the four legged creature thing though...
-

-
Simply as that.
-
sorry, that looks ridiculous compared to both the designs from Predator 1 and 2

RUSSIA? I THOUGHT HARRY'S "GOOD FRIEND" ROBERT RODRIGUEZ.....
by tehcreepythinman
Would have given AICN these? I guess Harry overestimates his relationship with RR.

$5 from any street vendor.
-
Thanks for the spolier warning!
Some of the pics show the fates of some of the main characters! -
you're an ugly motherfucker!!!
-
The idea of a Predator movie isn't special anymore which is why I sense no excitement for this tired retread.

You are a real dick for putting out another blu ray
by yoyodynepropulsionsystems
God dammit.
-
but ultimately irrelevant..if the film is absolutely bereft of suspense then all the design will amount to nothing. I hope it's good, but i dont expect it will be.
-
bitch about the quality and lack of extras, and deservedly so.
I'll wait for the review from Blu-ray.com among others to decide if the upgrade is worth it. -
Jun 16, 2010 10:48:43 AM CDT
Hype? I saw the first commercial for this just last night.
by mr. nice gaius
I'm sure you can find it on YouTube if you want. Anyway, there wasn't much that we haven't already seen. Although, there was a shot of a running pack of Preda-Dogs (?) that looked pretty cool.The movie will probably be garbage...but I sense a bit of a wildcard factor here. So, who knows. It could still surprise.
-
Vic Twenty beat me to it but the majority of the reveiws on the amazon page are for the first blu-ray release which seems to have been pants
-
I told you guys the Black Super Predator would look like shit. I wonder what Rodriguez thinks about AICN posting links to major spoilers that have been removed from other sites? Also, no one cares about this movie.
-
(Of course, the lighting in that photo is beyond awful.) How could the original Predator design regress so much in every other incarnation?
-
but I will definitely be paying to see it.
-
great shots. how come the Russkies get these before us? Commie bastards!
-
According to this "pic".
-
And then have sex.
-
Sure, the original was ugly, but it also had a certain coolness to it. These are just downright hideous.
-
The eyes look like they're painted on.

That Lovecraftian red eyed thing is one scary S.O.B.
by the reluctant austinite
This looks great so far. My only question is how did this Russian site get all these pics? That's a serious load of pics! It's not like two blurry shots from someone's stollen photocopy off Robert's desk. They beat us like Sputnik!!!!!!
-
Just like the Aliens franchise. Give it up. It's done. No story can be original or cool with these dead beings.
-
But something looks a bit wrong with the Predator....
-
Anyone know? Looks quite rubbery as is, though presume there may still be some digital work to apply...
I hope. -
its just a re-release of the 2 disc dvd from a few years ago. so if you bought the barebones blu and you dont care about extras, you can probably skip it.
-
"You're one ugly mutha..." Predator to Adrien Brody.
As for can't quite put my finger on what's wrong with this picture - i'll tell you. THIS PREDATOR HAS NO NOSE! NO NOSE.
THAT'S WHY IT'S TERRIFIED OF BRODY'S CONK. IT'S NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. JESUS CHRIST - THAT NOZZER IS SHITTING THE PREDATOR SPECIES RIGHT UP! THEY TELL PREDATOR CHILDREN BEDTIME STORIES ABOUT THE NOSE TO SCARE THEM AT NIGHT.
To the Predators meeting Brody is like the first time Western explorers encountered the elephant. -
It's really poor .The design looks like the piss weak Pred-alien crossed with a king crab.The rest of the bunch look okay , but very basic copies of the original.They lack detail , wheres the bone trophy necklaces and string vests /fishnet stockings. I never thought of the pred in films 1 and 2 as being a guy in a suit . but these have got a whiff of "Mutronics"/ Guyver about them.And remind me of the Ninja turtles movies! Part of the problem seems to be the awful flat lighting these suits are under.No other predator has been shown in such broad flat sunshine.Finally
In the close up of the one with the half damaged mask , you can see that his shoulder canon is detailed with parts from a model tank kit! The most obvious being the one piece rubber tank tracks , just glued on to the top part!!!.This is most likely a casting from the original preds prop..but that was better lit and didn't show up . -
I expect to see a child's hands holding the two Predators at the waist and wiggling them back and forth while making the voices for them. "I'm gonna get you Mr. Predator." "Oh no, I'm gonna get you first...pew pew pew"
-
That looks like a cheap costume from one of those 24 hour pop up Halloween stores. So far none of these released pictures or the scribbled together trailers are giving me a great feeling about seeing this movie outside of Netflix or a BlockBuster 4 for 15 dollar bin.
-
It saddens me to say, cause I'm totally psyched for it, but we're less than a month away from the release and I'm pretty sure that the general, non-fanboy moviegoing public has no idea that Predators exists. And the opening weekend of Splice (which was actually a fantastic movie) doesn't exactly bode well for another Adrian Brody sci-fi/horror film.
-
it will explode as AB serenades the savage beasts with his blessed violin. At least they're not fighting Aliens this time....
-

the variation of design on the Predators looks amazing!!!
by chudfucker
They look fuckin' scary WITH and WITHOUT the masks on! The one in the above pic looks insane, but I love that there is at least one predator that maintains the look of the original, possibly the hero predator in this film. And best of all from the stills, seeing that the blood is STILL NEON GREEN! Very, very, very excited for this one now!!!
-
So the one Predator's mouth is permanently agape, I take it?
-
nothing else pertaining to these two franchises has been good, let alone great.It would be nice if this was decent enough, but I certainly do not expect it based upon the track record.If you want your Predator fix, just throw in the original. It has lost none of its luster. None.
-
They exist amongst many other alien species out there and in the original movie that was a real Predator.Well that is my reasoning for why every Predator movie since the original has had what looks like a man in a cheap lizard suit. This movie appears not to be bucking that trend.
-
Dang it, that was an awful problem for AVP's makeup effects as well. Geez. is it so hard to design that? everything else looks fascinating, but this. . .
-
will fight alien babies in the cutest showdown in the galaxy. That was a predator baby i saw right?
-
and since these new preds look crappy, does it mean we can expect a cool movie in exhange?
for pete's sake, did rodriquez even hire a designer for these preds or did he go the cheapest route again and get designs from his kid's sketchbook? -
But I would agree, the predators have never looked better since the original. Even the predators in part 2 that showed up briefly were on a whole other level than this.
-
Oh wait wrong movie.
-
The one with the hairy thorn looking things over the eye ridges and down the chest. Sure it's flat-chested, but that's to throw you off. The cod piece is lots smaller and the eyes are softer. I'm going to be honest, though. I don't really find her all that attractive. I'm guessing she's the best friend of the hot chick predator that the others fight over in the bar scene.
-
I am looking forward to this. I get the feel that this could be good. Hope so, Predator is one of my all time faves.
-
And clearly the Yakuza guy is going to be the most kick-ass human. I can already tell they should have just made a movie about him.
-
Looks to be a blast.
-
Predators are hunting humans, humans help an outcast predator, outcast predator takes a liking to us, other predators hate this,a predator on predator ass whipping ensues and before outcast predator dies he shakes the hand of a human..roll credits and thanks for saving me 10 bucks!
-
I liked the original movie, I just don't think there was really anywhere else to go with it.
-
Right i know i'm on AICN but i'm not a hater but....these look awful and plastic and low budget and shite!
-
looks like machete guy aint gonna make it.
-
Why does Danny Trejo have a couple of squids hanging off his guns?. lol
-
These new predators look FUCKING STUPID!!, as i have said before how DARE Robert think he can make better than the original "super Pradetors" utter bullshit, fuckin lame ass fuck.
-
Looks like a trip to fun city for Mama Kord's favorite scamp!
-
Way too many in those pics but it was cool to see the skinned predator.
-
you can still see the breathing screen in the mouth of this one. http://filmz.ru/photos/44023/full/
-
Cos my girlfriend sure seems to have an issue with it. In all fairness, they look a lot better than the UFC preds that were in the AVP films, but that's not saying much. As much as the make up/costume are important, I think the absence of Kevin Peter Hall is something which has opened a great gaping asshole in the Predator franchise.
-
I love Rodriguez, and I love Predator. I think this is a perfect mix to jumpstart the franchise. Rodriguez knows his way around graphic "R" rated material. Desperado, The Faculty, From Dusk 'Till Dawn and Planet Terror, is an amazing body of work from a guy that makes movies people want to see. I have complete faith in Rodriguez's work.
-
would take place in a desert since the others were so much about habitats how it was in the jungle then the city then etc.
-
3 weeks out and not a single bit of promotion? I have a feeling this one won't be screened for critics. Yeah, it's probably better than the AvPs, but a 2 hour long, static shot of my balls would be better than the AvPs.
-
das he uhlways travel on duh wrongk side of tha boorduh?
-
He's gotta be a sniper or something like that--otherwise I don't see what he's doing in that collection of badasses. Also, I love the Goggins character has a orange prison jumpsuit on. I hope he steals the show.
-
agreed. topher, aye
-
I think that weird looking pred has been scalped. Look at the other pred in the same shot - it has the same spotted skin texture we've seen in the prior films.
-
But other than that I have no complaints so far. I'm psyched for this movie.
-
The first predator actor was over seven feet tall and could properly carry both the suit and the headgear without looking ridiculous. For the last couple films, the predators have looked like Mark Hamill wearing a stormtrooper helmet back in '77.
We can't get somebody to work in these movie who won't look like a predator bobble-head when in costume? WTF? -
I always thought he was a skinny bugger. But as a femme, I'm looking at him a little differently tonight. And yeah, there should have been a spoiler warning because one of the major characters sure looked pretty dead in a couple of pictures!
-
...is not a still from the film,I think it's a Sideshow Collectibles model-type-thing.
-
The first Predator is one of my favorite sci-fi action movies hands down. Essentially flawless, IMO. You could teach a creative writing class and use this movie as an example of classic plot structure. Avoiding extensive and boring exposition throughout, the opening situation and complication are swiftly accomplished, leaving plenty of room for a series of suspenseful, action-packed conflicts that result in an exciting climax followed by a clever and satisfying resolution. Most impressive about this movie - strong performances from ALL the cast. Top notch post-production and score. An awesome cinematic experience - as immersive as Avatar if you ask me, at least in terms of feeling as though you were actually there. Incredible action sequences that never let up. Excellent location shooting, blended perfectly with convincing sets. A classic that doesn't feel dated and holds up to repeat viewings. Predator, in a nutshell, kicks ass.McTiernan's filmography doesn't look that impressive after DH3, but I always felt he was one of the best action directors of the past 30 years or so - highly skilled at choreographing and framing action (a rapidly dying art, IMO). Why he's not more prolific as an action director is beyond me. How many shitty blockbusters in the past 10 years could've been saved in this man's hands?As far these photos for Predators are concerned, I'm liking what I see. It looks like a carbon copy of the first movie, but as long as it delivers on the level the first one did, I will be happy with it.

I'm rewatching the first two Predators in preperation for this f
by rbatty024
The first movie is an action movie classic. Watching it will turn you into a goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurus Rex.
-
He's supposed to be some sort of serial killer doctor or something. They've alluded to him being the most demented of the group despite the fact that he looks the most out of place.
-
Now theres a dude i'd happily smoke a bone with. Amazing pic BTW
-
I've seen nothing advertising this movie, Fox are really dropping the ball not even getting a simple advertising campaign underway to build hype for this! How about a reflective poster with a mirror on it and the 3 dot lazers in it, so you look in it and see the three dots on your reflection?! Simple, effective.
-
Rodriguez to save the Summer...I hope :)
-
It looks like it is being made an example of for failing to kill Arnold.
-
not a fan of the eyes, but i am looking forward to the movie so i'm not gonna judge the design yet. I think this film has the potential to either rock my world or suck the big one, it will be either way, no meh's or average with this one
-
Not getting too stoked up for this, but at the very least it'll take a royal dump on the likes of AVP. Rodrigez knows what the fanbase want out of this.
-
i'm gay for this movie to come out
-
Everything else is pure ass
-
i've gone from being excited about this movie to being indifferent. some of those pics are good, and some are ridiculous. it's amazing the costumes in 1987 looked better than now. (nicegrill/screen in the mouth of one of those pics...jeez..)
i like the idea of slight difference in the predators, but skin wise, texture wise- and most importantly- FACE wise, these guys are too different. i suppose they could be different 'races'...but still the skin textures and facial structures themselves seem too drastically different...the difference should mostly come from outfit, mask and weapon choices. the 'original' predator looked so noble,(and they partially got that right)- and all the variants we've seen look too hybrid or retarded or something in comparison..
most importantly, didn't the first predator suicide. like...mushroom cloud? are they saying that predators can't be killed by that- it's just a battlefield clearing device? or that he was 'beamed' away at the last minute, and put on display as punishment- for the last xx amount of years since predator 1? - seeing as how fishburn's character is brother to glover's character, years after pred 1 and even years after glover disappeared after the events of pred 2?
they really have some explaining to do. unless they say this is a prequel...which makes no sense regarding fishburn and glover. -
i understand that predator exists in the world of sci-fi, and as such, may explain that the predator species are made up of races, tribes, families or mutations that would explain the drastic facial structure and skin type variants of them. and if they touch on hinting at that, more power to them...but mostly this just screams out as lazy, different-for-the-sake-of-it character design to help the 'stupid audience' tell the difference between the predators and give is an especially ugly, savage, bestial one as the big baddie. these variants remind me of the Kenner toy line over ten years ago, with crazy retarded variants just for the sake of selling more toys. there was a 'high tech' looking one much like the one shown in those pics, a big bad, black one even. but back to the point, assuming that different predator races within the species are as different as the original predator design versus the ugly 'crab face' of the new baddie, makes about as much sense as having a normal white human, and a ST TNG klingon and saying they are the same race. but hey, star trek explained the difference as a viral mutation, so maybe predators can catch it too....
-
1.camera work, mctiernan doing closeups and farshots indicriminantly. 2.setting: jungle, theres no 80s model cars passing by to date this. 3: clothes: military gear, to the normal eye they look relatively modern still, and since theyre commandos they arent fated to wear those vietnam bubble-helmets, just caps like it is even today. 4.effects: this is the most mind boggling considering sfx movies become prisoners of their time a lot but the effects look so good, the pred head is amazing, the slightly off invisibility effect is still coiped like reptile in mortal kombat. and lastly this is an amazing movie to be from the outlandish 80s and not look dated.
-
...you can see the entire movie in motion. Love them rootless tree trunks sticking out of the floor..erm...ground.
-
i mean i didn't expect trejo to make it to the end, but damn, let's give away like, 2 specific deaths with promo pics.
and yeah TakingScorpiosCalls- the creature fx of P1 are ageless. it's really amazing how organic things like the spiky hair growth and skin pattern and textures looked real- whereas rodriguez's version of the pred-1 creature looks kust that- like someone remade it quicker, cheaper and without the skill. the body hairs look tacked on and too thick..the face is close but no cigar. -
I hope his death scene involves him being predator raped
-
watching PREDATOR as a kid for the first time..and he took his mask off for the final fight?..the mouth is closed up and a tusk is a little twitchy?....then that shit unfolded like origami and your mind was BLOWN. yeah. there is no going back. now not only is that surprise forever gone, but all they give us is opened mouths and badly done ones at that. too clunky. can't someone borrow and reconstruct the old facial endoskeleton from p1?!
-
will team up with the humans. If so, lame.Other than that little worry, I think these designs look pretty damn good. I like that they are giving each predator some sort of individuality, kinda like LOTR did with their orcs. It makes it more believable and interesting.And someone said that they think that one of the predators in the pictures is a female. It got me to thinking, what if predator society is matriarchal? I think that could be kinda fun. Although, I doubt that it is. It actually makes sense that their society is patriarchal and that the females don't have any say. It seems lame if they make the predators more like humans with some sort of equality to their society. I always viewed predators as having an extremely brutal and unforgiving societal structure, not unlike the harshness of the Klingon Empire from Star Trek.
-
a brutal, unforgiving societal structure would help explain how predators are so advanced, how old they are, etc....it's survival of the fittest, period. the toughest/winning genes pass on. but even then the predator race kind of hit a wall, genetically, socially. With all of them being such badasses, the 'hunt' would be the next step. testing themselves against other species out in the cosmos. it's really only by dumb luck that humans have been able to beat any.
-
That is a good possibility for predator backstory and evolution of their species.I used to ponder that maybe the predators were originally a slave race to another alien race, one that was more intellectually and technologically superior, but were unable to survive the predators rising up against them. Maybe they use these smart aliens as designers of weapons and other technology? Or maybe these smart aliens were the space jockey's from Alien? Could it be that the alien was created as a weapon against the predator uprising? Of course, the predators won out in the end, and then later used the xenomorphs for their own hunting rituals.All this happened long ago, before mankind was able to hunt, gather, or figure out how to wipe its ass.
-
Practical and CGI can be combined with wonderous results, but too much CGI is oversaturating our cinemas and TV's.
-
I want to see this go well as much as everyone else, but i think after the first film, directors have been stuck on the whole prospect of making them *look* Badass, instead of actually making them...Badass. They pretty up the outfit, give them weapons and have them pose for pictures and frames. They're not terrifying anymore. like, at all. We're not s'posed to *see* them, let alone connect with them, and we're supposed to really worry about them being anywhere near the main characters and piss ourselves wondering where they're hiding on the screen!
-
i've pondered where the predators got their tech sense they seem to be so much more physical and violent than brainy..but then again the need to top each other, survive, defeat, etc might bring about some tech advancements. i also think maybe they started going hunting and on these tests and trials with 'minimal' (though still devastating to us) weaponry in response to how advanced they became as a race. or, like the trophies they collect,(skulls, antique guns, etc) they probably aquired and repurposed the tech of other species too. i've also liked to think of the 'space jockey's ship as a bomber more than a precious cargo freighter.
-
(and my typing/spelling always suffers here, but) what i meant was that after feeling their society and tech were at their peak in many ways, there is almost a backlash and the desire to 'strip down' to the basics and test oneself or else grow tired of things. like how some humans enjoy going off the grid, becoming survivalists, re-learning to hunt and fish and live off the land...perhaps predator culture as a whole (or at least what we see) is practicing a ceremonial de-evolution to better appreciate what they have achieved.
-
Whose to say that all the crazy ideas we've both thrown out there aren't all possibilities for a predator civilizations' history?Derelict/space jockey ship from Alien as a bio-weapons bomber makes a lot of sense too. That's probably why there is one jockey. Maybe those ships were kinda like B17s in WWII, where tons of them never made it back. Maybe in this vast alien/jockey/predator war, the chance of a jockey ship successfully completing its bomb run roundtrip were slim because those pesky xenomorphs always seem to get out and take the thing down by impregnating the lone jokey pilot.Or, maybe the jockey's armed up the predators to use as warriors or mercs in a vast war against their own rival jockey factions or another alien race (Forerunners from Halo anyone)? Might as well connect the Haloverse with the Alienverse, since Alien/Aliens/Alien 3 takes place around the 23nd century, while Halo is in the 26th century. Maybe the jockey's were winning against the Forerunners, who then had to come up with the Flood as a countermeasure against the jockey's own xenomorphic bio-weapons?
-
After the AVP sham(s) it's gonna take alot to win me back to this fold. Even Danny Trejo isn't pulling me in.
-
Did you like, miss the end of the first film?
-
You know, the right wing website that hates movies and liberals?
-
Eons ago: Space Jockeys are at war with the Forerunners. The Jockeys have better bio-cloned exo-skeletal warriors, so the Forerunners recruit the Predator civilization to fight for them in exchange for advanced technology. The Predators are very successful, causing the Jockeys to step up their game and build even more awesome and bad ass weaponry. These new weapons, known as "xenomorphs" turn the tide of the war.Now the Forerunners create their own massive bio-weapons program as sort of an endgame strategy. They call this lifeform, The Flood. Unfortunately, this endgame strategy backfires, as both the xenos and the flood-forms fuck things up as they spread like a disease all over the known galaxy.Both civilizations come to their end after the Forerunner mega-weapons AKA The Halo Array, are activated. Only a small population of Predators survive on a remote planet. The technology they received is still somewhat intact, however, they must relearn how to use and manufacture most of it, only using what they want and need and not becoming a tech-obsessed race, but one that is more in tune with the natural world and the art of sacred rituals. (sidenote: the Elites from Halo are actually an evolutionary offshoot of the Predators)2019: The Tyrell corporation merges with Hyperdyne Systems after its founder, Dr. Eldon Tyrell is brutally murdered by a Nexus Six replicant.2027: Hyperdyne Systems tries once more to restart the fading replicant program, but due to cost overruns and the unpredictability of the replicant life forms, closes it down for more controllable and mass produceable androids.Late 21st Century: Hyperdyne Systems is later bought and managed by the megacorporation Weyland Yutani, however, they let the company keep the name Hyperdyne Systems, since it is such a recognizable brand at that point.To honor the anniversary of the Hyperdyne/Weyland Yutani merger, Hyperdyne manufactures an android based on Charles Bishop Weyland. These Bishop models are less "twitchy" than the current generation 120/A2's, and become the best selling male working android on the market.The starfrieghter Nostromo sets down on the unsettled gas giant orbiting planetoid LV-426 after being ordered to investigate a strange signal emanating from there. All contact with the Nostromo is lost...Gateway Station is built.Narcissus, lifeboat of the ill-fated starfrieghter Nostromo, is found by a deep salvage team. Two survivors, one of which is a cat, are brought back to Gateway Station. They had been floating around in the dead of space for 57 years.Contact with the colony on LV-426 is lost.A few weeks later: all known recoverable xenomorph specimens are lost when the colony and derelict alien craft on LV-426 are destroyed due to the atmosphere processor going nuclear. Cause of destruction: Colonial Marines small arms fire ruptured the heat exchangeries, causing the processing station to overheat and reach critical mass.Events of Alien 3, Alien Resurrection... not much to see here, keep moving along folks.Second generation androids, ones built by other androids are a last ditch effort to revitalize the dying droid industry, which has a short period of record profits before crashing.Eventually, humanoid androids give way to more advanced A.I. and the novelty of a human robot pretty much completely wears off. Some A.I.'s do choose to appear in holographic humanoid form to better relate to humans in certain instances.The Colonial Marines are absorbed into the UNSC (United Nations Space Command).Avery Johnson, a distant relative of ill-fated Colonial Marine Sgt. Al Apone, joins the UNSC Marine Corps, rising in rank to a Sergeant Major.The Mid 26th Century: After spreading out and colonizing many worlds, humanity comes into contact with the fanatical and warlike alien theocracy that they dub The Covenant.Interstellar war ensues... becoming a best selling videogame, that in November of 2001 saves Microsoft's fledgling X-Box from being completely murdered by Sony's Playstation 2.

suddenly i could careless about this film.
-
They could be bullshit CGI. Thank god they went practical. I'm looking forward to this movie a lot. This Inception and Scott Pilgrim are basically my must sees.
-
WILL MAKE YOU SQUEAL LIKE A PIG!
-
PREDATORS looks like utter shit. Yet it was produced by Robert Rodrigeuz. Does it get a glowing review?? Or does it quietly not get mentioned ever again.
-
And all I got was this Predator
-
Good stuff, but you forgot how Avatar, possibly the Abyss, fits into the mix. Maybe those incidents were mere cultural side-notes.
-
that takes talent. can't wait for this
-
Harry and the Hendersons, I bet that Predator that's all strung up will team up with the humans to get revenge on the Big Chief Predator and there'll be a series of hilarious interspecial misunderstandings. Didn't the dude who played the Predator also play Harry the Sasquatch for that matter?
-
BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA.
-
"Good stuff, but you forgot how Avatar, possibly the Abyss, fits into the mix. Maybe those incidents were mere cultural side-notes."THE ABYSS: 1989 and classified. The NTI's are possibly Earth-based anyways.AVATAR: takes place in 2154, and they don't have the more advanced FTL space travel abilities of the Alien/Aliens era, so I'd say Avatar fits in right after Weyland Yutani buys up Hyperdyne Systems. Of course, the disaster of an operation that ended on Pandora after the Na'vi rebelled caused the RDA company that was mining the unobtanium to tank in the stock market. Good thing old Weyland Yutani was around to help... er I mean buy up the RDA and its assets.
-
I wasn't clear in my post. Of course, the first Predator blows himself (and lots of jungle) up. But one of those new Predators looks exactly like the ugly motherfucker from the first film. Plus, I remember reading something about "him" returning in the new film.
-
"I remember reading something about "him" returning in the new film."You can't be serious. WTF????????

Everything this bitch has done relates to how she's a poor little rich girl, born into Hollywood royalty which is why Life Without Zoe (From New York Stories) is exactly the type of fantasy you'd expect from an 18 year old airhead who knows NOTHING about the real world. The Virgin Suicides is a miserable piece of "woe is me" trash about the mindset of vacuous teenage girls who have read too much Sylvia Plath and fantasize about killing themselves because they don't get enough attention from Mommy and Daddy while “suffering” the existential Horrors of High School and suburbia. This cunt should have been thrown into a South Central LA foster home when she was 12. Who knows, maybe she wouldn’t have her head soo far up her fucking culo. Lost in Translation is one of the most overrated piece’s of shit I have ever seen and is obviously based on her own life as it details the trials and tribulations of a Directors wife (Coppola was married to Spike Jones) who feels neglected by her husband, while also trying to define herself as a woman, and has a “platonic” relationship with an older man (no sex, of course, because then she would be a whore) all the while taking place in Tokyo Japan in the lap of luxury. I’d LOVE to see this dumb bitch deal with a 9 to 5 job, a blue collar husband and a bunch of kids with no nanny and/or servants. And, of course, Marie Antoinette couldn’t be about a significant figure of the French Revolution who was tried for treason, executed and attributed to the phrase “Let them eat cake” which symbolized everything wrong with the ruling class aristocracy of the era. Instead, this dingbat degenerates the whole thing into yet another pre-pubescent fantasy about living in a castle with, like, awesome clothes, parties and cute guys. There’s a great movie about Marie Antoinette to be made but there was never a chance from this spoilt American brat. Which brings us to her latest, Somewhere, yet another movie about another rich and famous asshole, in this case an actor, who is just soo bored with all the trappings of fame and fortune. Yeah, it must be such fucking Hell. You know, I have a vision of Sofia Coppola living in a castle, surrounded by servants, delicious cakes, beautiful clothes, sitting on a pile of treasure with all the possibilities the world has to offer, all the while playing a solid gold violin and lamenting about how hard her life is. Just stick a fucking gun in your mouth and keep pulling the trigger until you run out of bullets to spare us your endless whining about how hard it is to have money and fame you fucking waste of space.

As long as they replace the lasers with something realistic looking I could still enjoy watching this. If Man slut Adrian Brody dies-even fucking better.

Just saying... -
Some of them give away a lot of character deaths. Which will be pretty obvious in the film anyway, but still.
-
The Predators' heads look too big, like stuntmen wearing helmets.
-
Or is this one of the few he was wise enough to stay away from?

Aint nothing wrong with her films compared to others. But why does it take 5 years to complete one. Who uses nepotism better. Her or Jason Reitman?
-
At least they bothered using costumes rather than just going CGI. I also think this one might be a bit of a sleeper hit

You know that's going to be stupid as shit.

the same predator from 1. i don't know how they explain it, since this happens after predator 2 even....unless the predator explodes jungle and teleports (and is tied to a peg for...xx years?! why would he be punished for losing- it's a chance all the predators take...and they all seem to have a suicide option built into the gauntlets, so- why is that dishonorable again?)...or- god help me- the predators have time travel- and at the end of this one, the pred1 is sent back in time a few years to be tested against arnie. i bet Rodriguez does this shit. instead of the awe that predators are old, have been hunting for centuries (ala the spanish pistol from the old predator in pt2) he's going to hint that they time travel to hunt all across time. fucking bullshit if they do.
-
even though pred blades can cut through anything like hot butter, and even though 99% of commercial samurai swords are brittle, cheap shit- they will have a nice 3 to 5 minute swordfight that will give off sparks, the guys face will come close to being cut, each one may even inflict a light nick on the other, then the asian dude's head will get cut off and he will sink to his knees. or if RR wanted to be funny, he gets his arms cut off and just runs suicidally at the pred swearing in japanese.

Shouldn't it be "Crazy ass Halo / Alien / Blade Runner / Predator / Space Jockey timeline? Why not throw in OCP from RoboCop also?

And watch the whole chronology go loopy thanks to the time paradoxes.

"Shouldn't it be "Crazy ass Halo / Alien / Blade Runner / Predator / Space Jockey timeline? Why not throw in OCP from RoboCop also?" I wasn't sure I'd fit it all in the subject line, so I didn't include all of it there.As for OCP, I think they were probably bought out by Hyperdyne or Weyland Yutani in the mid 21st Century."Throw Terminator in there as well, and watch the whole chronology go loopy thanks to the time paradoxes"As for that, there are two branching timelines.TIMELINE 1: Judgement Day happens, future war against Skynet, and John Connor victorious against the machines.TIMELINE 2: occurs when John Connor sends the T800 Arnold from T2 back to protect himself at 10 years old, they end up destroying Cyberdyne Systems, thus preventing the emergence of Skynet in that time period, causing a second timeline to branch off and allow for Blade Runner, Alien(s), Halo, Robocop, Event Horizon, and Predators to happen. (Event Horizon was a bit before the FTL tech used in the Alien films was perfected. It was an interesting experiment though.)Also note that in Timeline 2, Cyberdyne Systems changed its name to Hyperdyne Systems a few years after company wide shake ups due to their lab being blown up by Terminator, John, Sarah, and Miles Dyson in T2. Sorta like how the Sci-Fi Channel is now the SyFy Channel.

And this year, it grows hot.

Em, shouldn't their muscle and tissue be fluorescent yellow/green to match their blood?
-
Soooo...playdough predator is the new baddy? Quit overthinking and believing your own hype and just give us a better special effects version of the original you tools. Just give us Coke Classic jackasses.
-
very true..and look at the veins in the mouth of pred ! there...(hell, pink mouths in all of them for that matter) it's a good point. although maybe it can be explained away that their red blood internally phospors green when it hits oxygen.
-
It seems the photos have been removed, but has anyone noticed the Walking Dead photos posted on the site? If anyone has the Predator photos can they e-mail them to me?
