Predators Filming in Hawaii

Posted August 28, 2009 8:11 PM Darkness 25 Comments

As we already know, Robert Rodriguez is shooting the majority of Predators at Troublemaker Studios in Texas. They will now reportedly be filming in Hawaii too according to Tim Ryan’s Reel Hawaii.

August 20th – Scouts and other execs for the 20th Century Fox’s big budget feature Predators have already visited Kauai and the Big Island for possible two weeks of filming beginning in October. Predators’ execs seem to be so taken by the Big Island they’re scheduled to return next week making it nearly three weeks. The Big Island at this point has the upper hand, sources said….The BIg Island’s Gail Pyburn is coordinating local locations scouting…

August 25th – Scouts for 20th Century Fox’s $40-million creature feature are back on the Big Island for their third week of scouting Hawaii most of it where a lot of jungles have been looked at. The production would film for 18 days with an October start if the Hawaii portion is a go. That decision is expected to be made very soon…Some Hawaii production execs are being contacted about availability…

In related news, the cinematographer on Predators will be Gyula Pados who did Kontroll, also directed by Nimród Antal. Thanks to Darkoo and Johnny Handsome for the news.

@Xenomorphine: but didn't they (bros strause) say "you get to see the pred homeworld" before the movie came out? Even though it seems like decades ago when it came out, I can vaguely remember something to that extent. If not, correct me thanks.

Why are dinosaurs and sabre-toothed tiger skulls , in Predator trophy room?Thats not makes sense. The sabre-toothed tiger , ok ,but dinossaurs are extint to 65 million years ago. Or the Predators have ther on `` jurassic park´´ to hunt dinosaurs?

There was no indication if that location in 'Requiem' was meant to be their home or a different world.

Finally we get a jungle setting true to Predator. I always thought that was the predator's best environment. I wonder if this will be the homeworld?

Yes,I´m hate the predalien in movie , but I´m like the predalien in AvP comics. @Rob I´m have two book: AvP Omnibus Volume 1 and old Remastered Aliens Labyrinth.Now think to buy , the Aliens Omnibus Volume 3, 4 and 5. But have some question about Omnibus 3. Is tale of Aliens: Rogue that good? And Labyrinth collects in this book , is same that I´m have ,or is more completed?

There is no officially accepted reproductive cycle: The Predalien one contradicted what was in the other films. Fox has no apparent interest in making sure its own films adhere to canon.

@Xenomorphine and @Rob thanks. He can say the junior Quenn predalien Reproduction Method is also 'emergency' method, or just ``one close topic.´´? Is Predalien action figure from Neca ,good thing to buy? Now I´m whant Predators have jungles like the ones see in James Cameron's Avatar have on trailer.

Clovers, 'egg morphing' is exactly what it sounds like: A way for the original Alien to make eggs (remember, this was before anyone thought up the concept of a Queen; now it's considered an 'emergency' method). The two 'Predator' films came about long before the 'Unreal' franchise was probably even dreamde of, by the way. And forget trying to reconcile the unused scripts for 'Alien 3' with the different drafts of 'Alien Resurrection'.

I dunno about big budget @ 40 million dollars, but if the director has a good vision it could be enough. Predators vs expendables wold be an awesome film!!!

Hawaii sound nice to me. @Rob Can you , explain to me ,what is real thing propose of Egg Morphing in Alien? @RakaiThwei I´m have 3 questions, about Predators script/movie: Is Producer John Davis (same producer the kill AvP:R) ivolved this movie ? The Predators script have some female-predators, or diferent point aspet from the predators society, in scrpt? - Predators have some inspirantion from the 1º game Unreal?Because The Skaarj have they same atitudes Predators have in script.(the slaves ,genectic crossover and cybernetic implants and torture thing cooperation in the human /alien weapon ...) @Cpt.Lewis The Alien Newborn have 2 designs in 2 scripts A:R, the the alien/spider vampire and humanoid, but hear in scripts from Eric Red and David Twohy , thie have on Newbors.Are thier designs same or are diferent thing ?

Haha, man. This film will never come out. Cause the actors will be too busy enjoying fun in the sun. I know if I was set to film in Hawaii, I would take a "sick" day for sure. No, i'm joking. This does sound good though, at least we'll see a more Predator-like setting in the film.
