A Large Cast of Characters or a Small One???

I hope it's a relatively small cast. And to make up for it, they could at least get a couple of big name actors in it to help sell it. With a big cast, you'll probably get more Predator kills and blood and gore, but very little character development and story while most of the characters will pretty much be "red shirts" to the Predator. With a small cast tho, while you may have less Predator kills and blood and gore, you can at least have some time with the characters and some development before they die. But they said it will be an "event film". Not a 100% sure what that means, but it sounds like Fox will have a pretty large cast of characters.

Dekker said there's a lot of different characters. And that they all just won't be killed off one by one.

I'd like to think there's more to a Predator film than violence, blood and gore. There's certainly more to a Terminator film. Make this movie like Terminator 2. A quality spectacle with action, adventure, horror, mystery, sci-fi, and some comedy.

Predator 2 set a dangerous precedent in replicating the spine of Predator. Now everyone thinks a Predator movie has to be about a group of specific people getting hunted down one by one.

 violence, blood and gore are part of the predator spirit.

[BishopShouldGo]

Not to me.

Larger cast for me.  But it depends on what is the plot. Violent kills are important part of Predator characteristic.

I say a Cast Size of 8 People is pretty much perfect, that size is equal with Predator's 8 and is pretty much perfect for what's needed.

So long as the plot is good and inventive, I'll be fine with a large or small cast of characters.

We don't know what's needed yet though. Dekker mentioned it being a bigger global affair, so perhaps it'll be quite a large cast. Though, they may merely be supporting characters. We don't really know enough yet.

Dekker mentioned it being a bigger global affair.

I like the sound of that.
