    I want to see a predator comindeer a vehicle or having leisure time(swimming in a lagoon, or fishing)
  • brainsmasher
    i always get a laugh when i see a movie that has a woman as a black op or special forces soldier. no women have ever been or ever will be in any special forces.
  • the_ace_of_knaves
    yea... that's the dumbest statement ever. women have been in special forces...
  • Definitely excited about this one!
  • Geekgirl
    Hellooo Harmonica, I totally agree. While Aliens is one of my all time faves, so is Predator, even with Arnold's THICK Austrian accent making the lines kind of cheesy. Nothing can compare to JESSE VENTURA'S MINIGUN!!! LOL I loved that shit! I think Rodriguez can make this movie as gritty as the first. I can't wait to see Morpheus kick Predator ass! Please don't say Salv... ugh shivers, that was the worst. Come on, they had a kick ass show the Sarah C. Chron. & canceled it bc they had Bale on board as John Connor. Holy alternate universes, Batman! I thought everyone learned their lesson with the Catwoman/Storm debacle. Keep it separate! One AVP was enough, I'm glad Rodriguez is bringin' it back!

    Good that this is coming out to keep the series alive; however, I'd like to see a story about an armed crew arrive, get captured, and then attempt to escape custody from the Predators who have brought them to a built-up Predator city (aka Bladerunner-esque slash Gotham City set design) or a deserted, abandoned city. Budget issues! I know. Okay, next time 'round.

    The only other thing I'd change is that silly shoulder-weapon the Predators don- each has such a low rate of fire. Arm the Predator with a souped-up M203 for crying out loud.
  • the_ace_of_knaves
    why would Predators capture and take them to a Predator City? The key is in the name... PREDATORS. They are hunters, they hunt for sport.

    They have kidnapped all these different "warriors/killers" from Earth. A Merc, a Drug Cartel hitman, a Spetznaz soldier, a African guerilla fighter, a Special Forces sniper, a lunatic gang banger and a serial killer. They drop them all on this planet, which is a game reserve, and they hunt them for sport.

    And as for the shoulder cannon? I've read the script and there is something that might interest you... mini-gun shoulder cannon anyone? :D

    Using the actual teaser poster of course....

    I dont understand why people are saying "please convert this and that movie to 3D" Its a gimmick, no movie is going to get better if its in 3D. Yes it can be a nice touch, but for me the scenes that are made particularly for 3D experience (lance sticking out at the audience, generally anything thrown pointed whatever at the audinece always takes me out of the experience and reminds me "wow they put in this and that stupid scene just for 3D experience") Im always glad when a movie is just in plain 2D I feel more involved and less distracted from the MOVIE ITSELF... wow isnt that the opposite you would expect? Anyway, Predators looks promising with the tied up predator and the hunting dog creatures, but reminds me too much of the original movie's setting which has the potential to ruin the flick and make it into another AVP-R, hope im wrong.
  • Oh im sorry. Since I was cruising with caps on I thought I could leave out the giant sarcasm tag on my post.

    Also, *sigh*, once again, Avatar proved that 3D isn't a gimmick if used properly. And yeah, Avatar was a much better experience in 3D than 2D.
  • Amon-Re
    Well avatar proved nothing to me besides that the new hype besides remakes and reboots is converting movies to 3D to be cash cows.

    Do you really think that star wars will get better if converted to 3D the actual movie itself?

    But lets have it your way, Avatar was shot in 3D, you screamed for an afterwards conversion to 3D. Wouldnt there be a difference in quality? would it still make it a better experience?
  • Sir Loin
    Where is the article about Damon's movie BOMBING this weekend?
  • Okay, I'm not a huge "Predator" fan. But I'm thinking I'm going to HAVE to see this, once my husband gets a look at this sneak peak. Sigh....
  • OMFG plEASE CONVERT THIS TO 3D AND ILL BE THERE OPENING DAY!!!! Ill just stick with the original. This has meh written all over it.
  • tamvervan
    Trailer has bee removed :(
  • thesecond
    Why does everything have to have an explanation? Even when a series is being rebooted or sequels come out, there's still some suck ass moment where they explain something for the sake of the stupids.

    "This is a game planet, and we're the game."

    No kidding? You mean the Predators hunt things?

    The first or second Predator movies never took much time explaining why the Predators did what they did, it wasn't about the Predators, it was about the human characters. The Predator just happened to be there. I don't need to know why it's there or why it wants to kill for the same reason I didn't need to know why Michael Myers kills.

    I would have preferred the story go back to the humans rather than exploring the alien world and rituals of the Predators. Didn't AVP already do that and do it miserably?

    I'm not giving up. I like the look of the movie but the story doesn't do anything for me.
  • Slatters
    While I agree with you, it was inevitable that they would eventually end up on their home world. They've had a Predator chase humans through a jungle, they've had them chase humans through a city, I'm glad they are taking a fresh direction with it rather then rehashing whats already been done.

    If they keep it all very alien and show JUST enough of what is going on, on the planet, then I think it will be fine.
  • lurker420
    we need danny glover running around yelling he's too old for this shit
  • Ratking
    I want to see predators hunting Na'vi in Pandora. Would pay gold for it, period.
  • greggorybasore
    I'd just like to take a moment to say OH MY FUCKING GOD THAT LOOKS AWESOME!
  • presto117
    gah, footage is gone!
  • AiC Hokie
    I think the animals are like hunting dogs which is pretty cool. In the trailer footage that's what it looked like to me.
  • starscream9289
    This actually looks pretty badass.
  • jason b
    i had NOOOO faith at all in this...very much impressed & as of now completely stopping mhy naysaying towards this film. RR has a lot of work to do to earn back my faith in him as a filmmaker in general - and this just might be that step in the right direction.

    im curious to know how much of an influence he had beyond producer, anybody know?
  • jrice73
    Footage was interesting but we've got two AVP films that were trainwrecks holding me back from getting overly excited on this. Predators better be a hard R with a lot of blood and violence and it needs a damn good story to boot. Those AVP films were atrocious on all levels and right now all I'm thinking about is those films when watching this new footage. That really sucks because I want to get on the bandwagon with Rodriguez and crew and enjoy the hell out of this film.
  • Slatters
    Wasn't the second AVP rated R and had alot of blood and violence?

    How about making a GOOD film first of all, that has an appropriate amount of violence secondly.
  • Lucas
    Too bad its down! I would love to see the trailer
  • Ninja6fett
    Eh it was more of a featurette, intercut with some trailer shots. Still pretty awesome though.
  • please don't suck please don't suck please don't suck
  • Oh Man this looks amazing, I am gonna like this a lot! well hopefully, it sounds like a fun movie!
  • BobT
    The poster reminds me of the poster for Crazy heart. Same pose, lit the same way. Very peculiar.
  • Andrew Bergamo
    I'm going to go out on a limb and say this will probably be the best Predator movie. I was so happy to see that awesome Predator cat thing. I'm glad that Rodriguez is FINALLY going back to R rated movies (assuming this isn't PG-13).
  • Bobby Bulldog
    Damn Justin, you beat me to it.
  • hoth base
    i dont trust anyone named NIMROD, or idiot, or stupid.
  • Nimrod is a biblical name. It doesn't mean idiot or stupid. Don't showcase your ignorance.
  • rainman
    If it's biblical, it's stupid. Just like Armored and Vacancy. Hopefully third time is the charm.
  • "If it's biblical, it's stupid."

    Take THAT Mom and Dad!
  • Dvq
    aww damn, too late, video no longer available :(
  • Just go to the official website for the movie. The link is up there.
  • it_burns
    The stuff they show here looks pretty solid so far and I'm looking forward to seeing this. That said, it's good to know Robert Rodriguez is being honest with the whole "not being able to compete with Arnold" thing.

    As long as they keep it violent and gory like the first one, I think it'll do fine.
  • I am STILL saying a lot of 'nay' at this project but that footage went a HUGE way to soothing my jangled nerves.

    LOVE the OG Silvestri and sound effects. That's what is really doing it for me. And the cinematography doesn't look as slick as the AVP films have looked. It looks a little grimy and gritty. I like it.

    Not 100% sold YET, but damn I'm on my way.

    BUT WAIT IS IT IN 3D????
  • projektidiot
    Walton Goggins? I'm in!
  • WHOAAAAAAAAAA!!!! That joint gave me chills.... I was kind of worried at first, but it looks like Robert Rodriguez knows exactly what he's doing. I can't wait to see Predators. 10/10
