We’ve got another two new The Predator stills courtesy of 20th Century Fox. The first shows Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Thomas Jane and Augusto Aguilera assembled in a motel or hotel room. The second new still is a scene featured in the trailer with Olivia Munn’s Bracket defending Jacob Tremblay from a Predator.

There are actually a couple of nice little character moments added that genuinely do add something to the movie if you ask me.
Still not a great film, but I find some of the new scenes far more interesting than the stuff from the theatrical cut.
It helps "alittle" I said. It's more like the placebo effect. It's obviously terrible, but heck, alittle extra this and that can't possibly make it worse.
Nnnnnooo... Nooo... Noooo.
Watching the unrated version helps...alittle.
If anything it's more of a trailer than it is a teaser. To my mind this:
is a teaser. Or probably more iconic, this:
Spoiler
There's only one direct reference to previous films.
All signs are sounding like they aren't going to be ignoring anything at this point. Pretty sure I read in one of the set visit articles that they will touch on things from AVP even.
I've been thinking a lot though about the dna hacking stuff. Yea, nothing indicated it, of course, because it's a fresh idea. Also, nothing in cinematic predator experiance has contradicted it before. But the more I'm thinking about it (with a good impementation) the better I understand it.
It might just be a really great addition.
Or it just comes out as a total disaster (like in Predators comic) Only the finished product can prove its woth.
Honestly should've been that.
This trailer was even better.
Kinda...plasmacaster.

Yeah, I don't see why it needs explaining. Predators have always had different-styled masks.
Honestly, I think it's just because it's Black highest banking movie and in general it's actually pretty well liked.
I don't see why they would. It's not like differing mask designs has ever been an issue with the other films. Nor is it here, really.
I believe he also meant more in terms of being something people were excited to watch for ages, pre-ordering tickets, etc.
I don't believe so. We've heard some alternate Predator 2 ideas from them but I can't recall them ever discussing a Predator 3.
I think it will too. I never really thought about how closely these franchises are following each other, at least from a plot standpoint. The movies might be made at different times, but darned if they're not sharing basic experiences. Now that I think about it, Alien 3 and Predators even shared the dog creature idea, and both protagonists landed and woke up on unknown planets. And Resurrection/The Predator feature characters that uniquely understand certain details about the creatures (Ripley 8, Tremblay).
You're funny. You're funny, and you're wrong.
Sad to say it but... I think you're absolutely right. More than you know.
Though, I will say this, I can tell this film will at least be more entertaining than Resurrection. It's still going to be goofy.
1. Predators 2 - a sequel to predators
2. AVPR3 (because this looks like AVPR2)
3. Fear the Predator
4. PVC (Predator vs Creeper) "Every 23 years, for 23 days, he gets to hunt".
5. Predator Insertion: Operation Stinkfinger
6. Predator Apocalypse - AKA - The Stalking Dead. What does a predator do, when all his quarry bites the big one?
However, using the past as a guide, I think the predator is about to go down for a long nap after this one.
Alien/Predator = One creature, ten little Indians, dark and trapped.
Aliens/Predator 2 = More characters, more guns, larger environment (L.A. / Hadleys Hope Colony) Multiple Creatures, specimen collection
Alien 3/Predators = Lower number of creatures, group consists primarily of violent individuals, attempts to mimic aspects of the original film
Alien Resurrection/ The Predator = Odd director choice, comedic style, many creatures again, introduction of hybrid creatures.
Therefore, we can deduce that, give or take an AVP or 2, we should expect another predator film no sooner than 5-10 years. In order to maintain freshness, a prequel trilogy will be announced, to be directed by none other than John McTiernan. The predator origins being thus,
"an abandoned astronaut, physically changed by the suns radiation, finds refuge on a barren planet. Creating a perfect and intelligent species in his own image, bound to return to earth and hunt the pathetic humans who wronged him so terribly".
This of course will be received negatively and positively.
Predati .. Predatorz ..... Predatory ....
Yeah. Unfortunately we will never see the tribal look again, i'm afraid. It's a damn effective and alien looking design and probably the best part of predator 2.
I do agree with your assessment. There was a lot of potential mystery and threads being dropped at the end of Predator 2. It's pretty clear the Thomas Brothers were aiming to widen the scope for the franchise going forward.
Everything about that final scene says; these guys have been all over, and they've been doing it for a long time. There's something in that final gaze between Harrigan and Greyback. Something beyond just shared respect. Much like the skeleton in Alien, it is a peak into the larger universe, and of course the film ends with "Don't worry asshole, you'll get another chance." It's so obvious they were geared up for a third one and wanted as many options as possible.
This is not what I would want... it's too GOD-like... they are not the Anunnaki.
Them upgrading themselves could be fine... if they took the right approach but that doesn't seem likely... I rather see them do that on an alien planet (that actually looks alien... no 2010 BS)

To be fair, the rolling credits had more imagination than anything that came before it.
That one scene has more imagination than anything that came after it.
I know right. This teaser looks like a less dark and without xenomorphs version of AVP Requiem. So...why not base your new setting on the first AVP? which has a more interesting background anyways. I want a Lost World style story during the conquest of the New World or something like "The Lost City of Z".
There's a little bit more to it than that.

Oh wow, thank you. I was literally trying to think of a scenario and I actually thought of that being a possibility. knowing that, it all makes sense now.
And this alone proves that a filmmaker shouldn't try to fill all the cracks with his own version of the lore.
I'm pretty sure
Spoiler
I sure hope not. Like how did he get all the predator stuff .? Why is there a kid in the first place?
His opinion really upset you didn't it. Triggered much.
I don't know about you, but this is the movie I want to see:
https://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/orig_avpbluray663.jpg
This expanded to feature length. When the predators first arrived on Earth. Like a Prometheus style prequel, exploring the origins of the predators.
Well, seeing as how human DNA is being mixed with the Predators now, Predator boobies is not totally out of the question! Oh the possibilities...what a time to be alive.
i can judge anything by what i see with my own eyes.
Considering that was nearly an official sequel, well. Having Dutch on Predator-prime with Predators urinating near him and shit. Yeah.
I am me, and I decide based on my opinion about the franchise that I have invested interest in since I was five years old.
None of what you said has any relation to what I said. I was talking specifically about the notion of trying to make Predator into an even bigger "event" film series. It was devised as a popcorn franchise. A glossier b-movie experience. The last thing I want to see is Predator turned into The Transformers or something like that.
I was not talking about specific content. I was talking about the bigger concept at work, and furthermore we already know there's some really super dumbass shit going into this movie. Like Predator spiders and DNA meddling and biggerer badderer predators. One of those things has already been tried in the series and bombed hard, and there is nothing in the trailer to indicate that this time will be any different.
A no-go indeed.
Which I think is fool hardy. Not every series is can, or should, be that.
