The Predator will have “wicked sense of humor” according to Sterling K. Brown. The Predator maybe 2 months into shooting but we’re still at that point where everyone is being really careful and cagey about what they’re saying.
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, The Predator’s Sterling K Brown was asked about the upcoming Shane Black film. As expected he was unable to say much but he did talk a little about the humor and characters in The Predator :
“Shane has his whole take on it and it’s very different than the original Predator. It’s got a really wicked sense of humor to it, which I love about it. And it’s got a real camaraderie amongst the main characters that I think folks will be attracted to. That’s pretty much all I can say.”
The Predator will have “wicked sense of humor” according to Sterling K. Brown.
Although he wasn’t able to talk more about the The Predator, Brown did speak a little about how he was a fan of the original and shared a fun anecdote about his University friends teasing him about getting Bill Duke-type roles:
“I’m a huge fan of Predator, and, of course, everybody loves Jesse the Body [Ventura] and Arnold [Schwarzenegger] and Carl Weathers and Bill Duke. My friends at Stanford used to tease me — being the dark-skinned African-American man that I am — they’d say, ‘Yo, man, you’re going to start getting all [those] Bill Duke roles when you get older.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t look anything like Bill Duke, you guys can kiss my ass.’ So then I booked this movie and I told them and they’re like, ‘Dude, do you even realize that you’re now Bill Duke???’ And I had to go tell them to kiss my ass all over again.”

As for the question of where and why - again, it's a movie.
Sorry, that I can deny.
And then this happens.

Lol. I remember when my friend gave the Scream 4 script to somebody he thought he could trust. It was on horror and Scream sites the following day.
"Prove it liar!" lol I think every person who has said they'd read a script to an unreleased film is going to PASS HARD on THAT.
Non sequitur - I hope the kid befriends a predator and cries when he leaves, just to see the reactions of the macho lovers.

To quote this meme - https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fm.memegen.com%2Fdjeu4t.jpg&hash=23d6671dcb13e1fdd18f710340186f9e8afa66a9
And many human characters in the comics, novels and games state that we're lucky that they only wish to hunt us and not conquer or go to war, that sort of insinuation makes them scary.
So seeing them become another alien race among the myriads of races that just want our Earth is kind of banal. I hope the execution is really unique and makes this stand out otherwise it'll just be another War of the Worlds, Independence Day build up. And if we beat them then it's just going to diminish the threat of these aliens and become another "humanity f**k yeah!" movie instead of one that reminds us that we're not at the top of the food chain on the cosmic scale.
Predators are terrifying because they're savage by choice, not necessity. I don't mind them using DNA to augment themselves, it's a cool concept and I can see why they'd do it and it certainly explains why they take their best kills to augment themselves with rather than going "ahh, that was such a good fight!" while gently caressing a skull on the wall lol.
I like almost everything I heard about the film, I'm just not 100% sure how to feel about the alien invasion and they need our Earth angle.
I know proximity can be an issue but there's literally 400 billion star systems and we've discovered lots of Earth like worlds in Goldillock's Zones, even the Trappis System has literally 9 Earth worlds and I think 3 of them are in habitable zones. There's an Earth like world orbiting Proxima Centauri.
And haven't the Predators found other life bearing worlds and won't need to worry about dealing with another sapient species like us? They can simply just terraform another world, it's easy to induce global warming, if we can do it, a primitive backwater species, surely an incredibly advanced alien race like them can - just pump a hell of a lot of carbon dioxide into the air or something (in other words, learn from us, the masters of pollution and climate change...)
Hell, they don't even need a new home, just go back to your homeworld and start inducing global warming. If you can build FTL ships, then global warming is literally child's play.
Interesting, i just dont see how passing the script to others would expose him if the script has already been leaked by other sources. And to be clear you dont have to apologise to or satisfy me as i dont really care. I like predator but im not a big enough fan to really follow the production closely like i have done with alien covenant.
Great. I love the fact it's finally something different than a simple hunt. Predator franchise was cornered that way.
ye and ye
Certainly they aren't the only one. But that doesn't mean I'm going to expose them to satisfy you, sorry. That's not how I work.
All I can say is that I have good reason to believe it is completely legit. In addition, so does anyone who's seen the script and followed the production - exact roles, character names, set locations, titles, minutiae all add up to it being identical to the script, give or take a few very minor details here and there.
On the slim chance we all got conned on multiple levels, though, hey - the movie will be that much more exciting.
Well for starters I wasn't aware that you know anything more "sensitive" than the draft that's been publicly leaked.
For all I knew you were just someone taking the leaked script as golden when there's no real proof it is.
Is your source the only leaker of the script? I've heard that numerous people have it and read it, did he pass the script out to all of them? If not he shouldn't have to worry about exposure.
Because I read it?
I'm chill, I just never understand what people expect people to say when they have sensitive information and someone opens with the first question of 'how do you know'. It's kind of pointless. Like, what exactly would convince you that would not compromise the source?
It's a complete reboot. If you think otherwise your in denial. It's S. Black "refreshing" the Pred franchise. AKA. Who gives a sh-t about the back story/Dutch/etc. We've got new blood to pump money out of. And let it stand that a little nod here and there to the "old" movies can be done in a reboot. This is horrible. I'm giving up on the Dutch/Arnold angle/story being made whole. Good luck everyone with your "new" "rebooted" Pred franchise. Makes me appreciate the Alien Universe so much more now.
The genie in a lamp who gave it to me. Take my word for it or don't, your call.
According to who?
Yes, I said that. It's also said they keep coming back
Spoiler
As for why they don't go to some other hot planet - because it's a movie franchise, and because there is no money in 'Predators go to entirely new planet with no humans involved'. Though I wouldn't be surprised if we went to theirs in a future sequel.
It doesn't render those films nonexistent; they happened. But this story draws a much clearer distinction between the concept of hunter and Predator and gets into why they hunt for sport as opposed to being strictly natural predators. Also, this is not leading to the kind of movie you are thinking of. In terms of how the Predators behave in this story, regardless of what their strategy is, their execution is what it has always been - kill everything.
As for trying something different, this is that. Not trying something different would be making another variation on the movie from '87, another straight hunt. Predators tried that and flopped. This story gives the franchise an aim and future purpose. Whether you dig it or not is up to you when you see the movie.

Spoiler
There's plenty of openings in the story from where it goes, IMO.
Spoiler
Not much of it made into the final film but it was in the script and was not liked by fans.
Spoiler
Has it even been proven the leaked script is entirely legit? Either way, I've purposefully not read it. I'd rather see it fresh.
I love Black's writing style, so if the film's in line with his previous works I'm sure I'll love that aspect of it.
You're entitled to feel that way. All I can tell you is I think the story gives the Predators a new complexity and purpose that can allow the franchise to expand between just doing more movies with them hunting over and over and diminshing returns. Watch the film and decide for yourself.
I don't remember a thing about that in the actual film. I'm not saying it's not in there, but it clearly didn't make an impression. If it was in the script and not the film then it's not relevant. Personally I doubt the creators of this film went so far as to read that.
Just look at the first Lethal Weapon that Black wrote - very funny when it wants to be, but hardly a lighthearted movie. It's dark as hell.
Spoiler
I`m not saying it has anything to do with Ps per se, but Super Predator concept was introduced in script for Ps. Predators modyfying their genome with verious prey dna to upgrade their efficiency, sounds familiar?
I don't find the script generic. I don't think it has any relation to anything in Predators (which not a lot of people saw). You may or may not feel differently when the film comes out.
Going back to present time. I still don`t get, how going throught the most generic way, with new film, it`s going to enrich the franchise? Same goes with Super Predator concept. People didn`t like it in 2010, why go back to it?
RoboCop was dealing with a broadly fantastical future. This was supposed to be our reality with a few extra years. The movie came out in 1990 and posited that in seven years LA would be overrun by rasta dudes and looking like a demilitarized zone.
You can call my take bullshit all you like, it's how I've felt since the first time I saw it. I think it's a shit sequel, sorry. And I don't think it's ever made much of a huge impression with the general public either, beyond the alien skull near the end.
1. He played thogh as nails cop. Not super commando. He was believable, also it really doesn`t matter if you are in good shape or super shape. Predator will kick your ass anyway.
2. Similar world as in Robocop, falvor of it`s time.
3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_posse
Do reserch before posting bull.
4. See that`s one of this small quirks that gives Predator it`s character. He is no Jason and I love it.
5. Standard Bill Paxton role, as in Terminator or True Lies (always Love you buddy, hope you`re in better place)
6. Bullshit argument
I could go on. Sorry, if people like it that's their prerogative, I've just always hated it.
Olmos plays general Woodhurst.
There was no wonder and the cinematography was awful. It looked like a backyard movie and in essence it was. "Make it at TroubleMaker studios, keep it away from our meddling!" So, a Texas backyard. I did enjoy the casting of Brody, Grace, Fishburne, and Goggins though.
A Predator film that is not a hunt is refreshing and novel and so so so welcome. Shane being inspired by Spielberg, Hawkes and Cameron makes me very happy. All I could remember were Antal and Rodriguez talking about their sole inspiration for Predators: Predator. And boy did they ever get inspired, but not in a good way.
And why do you think a lot of the top talent they courted all turned it down? I heard it was because Predator is not seen as a cool franchise and kind of shopworn at this point, even with a talent like Black at the helm. And there was even surprise that they managed to snag Del Toro.
K
I've talked about it before on here. I think it is a passable but unremarkable sequel which looked and felt cheap and kind of tossed-off by the studio. It could've been much more. I liked Brody and some of the cast (not all - there was a point in those years where Alice Braga was the mediocre actress they'd throw into any genre movie) and I had a nice enough time but I was left a bit deflated.
Predators is also part of the reason I don't believe another jungle action/typical hunt movie a la the original would be a serious hit today. People saw that movie and didn't care; it's time to change things up. This is a much more committed effort on the studio's part to give the franchise to top talent, but it is very different. Whether people like it or not is down to them.
So just like the first Predator?
