The news that the unnecessary Predator sequel -- currently titled Predators -- will be filming in Hawaii is making the rounds today, and it's exactly the kind of news I don't give a shit about. The only rerason I mention it is because Fangoria slipped this tidbit about the movie, which you all probably knew and I didn't:
This new tale, dubbed PREDATORS is set on the creature's homeworld, where a group of humans find themselves stranded and hunted.Really? It's set on the Predators' home world? Okay, color me intrigued. I would actually be interested in seeing where the Predators come from, especially what happens to a bunch of idiots who accidentally land there. But there better be a goddamn good reason this movie doesn't end in three minutes -- which is to say why a planet full of Predators can't take out these humans -- and I'm talking story-wise, of there will be hell to pay, Predators movie. By which I mean there will be a lot of whining on the internet.

This will be a two hour bowel movement.

Robert Rodriguez, WHAT the FUCK are you thinking you lil bastard. You replace this skinny dude over Micheal Jai White. You are personally goingto kill the franchise with this cast you have. 20th century, you are goingto lose money with this cast I guaranteed it. I will personally have my own strike against you and make sure you lose money with this movie. Danny Trejo and Adrian Brody over Micheal Jai White, it's still hard to believe this. Robert Rodriguez must be prejiduce against blacks or something, because they no damn well Micheal Jai White will pull this role off for the fans of the predator franchise, and will save the future of the predator sequels. 20th Century step in and stop Robert Rodriguez before he loses you alot of money. I CALL ON ALL THE PREDATOR FANS TO WRITE TO 20TH CENTURY FOX AND PUT A STOP TO THIS REAL QUICK BEFORE ROBERT RODRIGUEZ FUCKS THIS FRANCHISE UP.

Second. Inukumaru's description of the Predators society is correct. If you include the AVP movies in the series, (for those that blocked out the memory) some Predators are sent to earth in order to become men (Predator men, although those rich brats with their "technology" are still pretty heinous). There are multiple worlds, and they are basically a superior specie. Not as bad as the Aliens world for a couple reasons. They aren't really bent on world domination, or at least Earth domination (yet). So they may only Predatate (I made that word up)when they have to. It's possible they could be reasoned with. Possible, not probable. The Aliens on the other hand have the mind set of a hyena, and will eat or kill anything that moves. (Jurassic Park velociraptors). Which just straight up sucks for the ten seconds you're alive for.
-
Is this the Chris Hanson movie? But seriously, I am already preparing for shitloads of bad CGI.
-
Inukumaru 's version sounded pretty accurate until I read TrapJaw's comment. If it features the colonial marines landing on Predatorworld on purpose then it's less likely to be an arena type thing. Though I suppose they could just be captured once they land... Still, if the marines are the focus and it's successful, we could start to see more Colonial Marines movies. Good thing/bad thing?
-
This actually sounds pretty interesting, if they are going to continue the Predator franchise, might as well switch things up. (is this supposed by to be the Rodriguez Predator, or was that all baseless rumors?)
-
There are many negative things to say about this film, but after the horrible abortions that were the "AVP" films, this sequel can not be considered "unnecessary"! Something has to be done to save these two, once awesome series! Let's just hope that "Predators" is a step in the right direction and not another butcher job.
-
At least it is not Shorts Predators 3D!
-
It sounds good, until we discover that on their home world, it's actually a sprawling metropolis full of civilized "people". It's here that we learn that the only predators that come to earth are the backwards redneck aliens. They are taken to an immigration center where they are taught the skills to merge in with predator society. In the end, we see that one of the humans is the first to have a bi-racial marriage on the planet, and another becomes the first human congressman. I'm sure that it'll be a really uplifting story about overcoming hardships.
-
Still sounds better than an Alien prequel.
-
Well if I'm not mistaken male Predators (the hunters) don't send most of their time on their homeworld, mostly becuase they're busy hunting shit their females (who do everything else really) do and are suppost to be even worst than the males but as long as they're at aliens-level tech then they at least have smart guns to see threw there clocking
-
The obvious answer is that we have fallen prey to the classic error of making a general assumption based on a small sample. It is true that the preditors we have seen have been Bad-Ass, the majority of preditors are obese and out-of-shape. The humans will spend most of the time hiding in malls.

I believe that this <i>is</i> the Robert Rodriguez <i>Predator</i> project. I saw an interview with him on <i>Reelz Channel</i> (I think) were he was pretty much saying that it was about a group of soldiers (Colonial Marines?) that ended up on the Predator's homeworld. Rodriguez also said that he was filming it in Austin (his home base, I guess?) and that Fox was letting him do whatever he wanted with it and insured him that there would be little-to-no studio meddling with him. So if this is true, I hold out hope that I may get at least one more decent <i>Predator</i> movie and not more of that shit-tastic <i>AvP/i> drek.

Yautja homeworld - check Humans traveling with Superluminal speeds - check Weyland-Yutani bumbling damning humanity to slow painful death - check Hirgen coming to pull humanity's collective fat out of the fire - check NICE =]
-
Sadly non genre fans don't look at predators in a good light or aliens...mostly the same. reason why i love being a fanboy.
-
@Inukumaru Are there really people out there that think Predators are parasites? If so, that's pretty sad.
-
Alien Aliens Alien 3 Predator Predator 2 Predators Logically, the next Predator movie will have to be called "Predator Resurrection" Then comes the AVP reboot: "PVA"
-
Is the real agenda behind putting out a film with the name "Predators" to stop The Asylum doing the same? Someone was too late with The Terminators...
-
skullfucking will ensue if it gets a PG-13 i assume?
-
given how fox refuses to let the franchise die with honor . and wants to milk the cash cow dry . the film should be interesting to check out if mostly to finaly see what an entire planet of predators looks like on the big screen and the humans who are stupid enough to land on the thing. knowing they are not going to be going home to tell the tale.
-
This movie sounds foolish. Why not do a remake of the original with vin diesel in it or a sequel with a cameo by the governator. In the sequel Arnold can challenge the predator to melee combat using his conan sword and the two fight for two hours. I would pay to see that especially if its set in the capital building in california. If they did a remake with vin diesel they could get jon cena to star or play jesse venturas part and at least it would be decent to watch on syfy or fx when it came to tv.
-
wait. i thought Robert Rodriguez was rebooting this franchise? is this instead of or in addition to that idea? as long as the writing/acting is better than the AVPs, I am ok with whatever comes out. this a franchise (same as Aliens) that has so much potential left in it...
-
oh my god. this is so boring. i love the first movie, mostly for jesse ventura's crazy-ass dialog, but this is all so fucking ridiculous. thank god the world is going to end soon, so hollywood doesn't have to continue all the endless re-hashing of tired properties. fuck.
-
Predator 2 is starting to look like goddamned Shakespeare in comparison...

As it was said before the plot deals with humans that have been kidnapped to compete into a gladiator type game in one of the main arenas in the Predator world. After all this project was called Arena before it was called Predators. Probably the movie will have a escape subplot and different predator factions with different ideas on how to deal with the humans. What most people don't understand is that Predators actually build spaceships, have their own society and laws, so they are not parasitic creatures like the aliens. Truth be told be prepared to see cameos of the aliens in the arenas and other creatures...let it be humanoid or not. It makes sense to be filming in hawaii since what has been shown about the main predator world, yes main, cause probably there are more than one, looks a lot like mayan temples surrounded by jungle. This film has the possibility to be great depending on how it is handled on that we will have to wait and see...It would be a fanboys dream to have the "collected" be the humans that have survived the past movies...and to add wood lets have the predators use a time machine and bring Ripley too just for kicks. ^__^
-
It better not end with a (redacted) <i>girl</i> as the lone survivor...
-
DOO-DAH DOO-DAH OH DOO-DAH DAY!!! I hope Darkhorse at least get's to add their two cents to this movie script. Otherwise, it's probably gonna suck ass.
-
i guess because the predator society is very honor bound they will only dispatch one hunter to slay the humans... or they'll use them as target practice for their younglings...
-
Well damn, that's actually kind of interesting. it might not be good, but at least they're trying something new.
-
So this is like Predator but with switched roles. I feel bad for the Predator franchise.
-
I really, really hope they'll take this opportunity to actually expand on the Predators' culture. I don't need a National Geographic special, but a little bit more about <i>them</i> would be really awesome.
-
Is this in place of the remake, in addition to the remake, or is the remake?
