I got chills during a lot of those shots in the back half of this trailer. Love the one of the Predator running on the tree tops, and it looks like there's going to be a big battle involving both the Native Americans and white colonists towards the end of the film (who got dat flintlock?!) that looks like it could be really damn cool.
And the Predator looks like a cross between Serpent Hunter and the Primeval Predator from the Legendary Encounter deck-building game. Very primitive with a bio-mask either made of or adorned with skull and bones.
It also looks like it's not a plasma caster after all from that teaser footage, but likely the bow that's been teased a couple of times by people connected with the movie.
So yeah, really liked what I saw there! Definitely made me even more hyped to see it!
We have our Predator design.

I didn't realise at first how that shield was actually connected to the wrist gauntlet! That's cool, reminds me of Dirge from the Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars cartoon.
Hope they officially drop it ASAP so I can see it in its intended quality, but, what I'm seeing here rocks. Didn't think I'd be able to care about a Predator thing again after the AVP junk and The Predator (and Predators being so middling despite its killer concept), but... here we are!
Hope this delivers on the quality it is promising here.
Huh some parts at the first half of the trailer actually looked good, it was better than the teaser but other parts still gave me that low budged look. The Predator looks weird. Like primitive low tech look ? I guess it fits into the setting but I just like my old school Predator design.

Now that's how you design a predator! This trailer looks great, I can't wait for the movie! Predators should never go without the tribal hunting aspect like The Predator did, this is a good direction so far. I have my fingers crossed.
Also going on from Mike's screencap, here's one from the side:

I dig that mask. The predator's silhouette really looks like Berserker. Also another strong hint that we'll be seeing that pistol at some point
Nothing really about the trailer has me worried, though I'm a touch disappointed that the dialogue is mostly English
I'm liking that Predator design.

Wow, this looks very very good, I'm impressed, especially with the cinematography.
I'm not sold on them copying Predator or the American accents, but I'll give those a pass for the sake of how awkward it would have been ( if they weren't speaking American)
Excited. 8)

60 FPS though. Gross.
Few more thoughts after giving the 4K version a watch:
It looks better in 4K
Cloaked predator on fire looks awesome
Whilst the bear CGI looks good for the most part, the first shot we see it in looks a bit weird
Does a Comanche vs Predator movie need so many deadly animals? I think the bear on it's own would be fine, the mountain lion seems a bit unnecessary (though maybe it's integral to the plot?)
Pocahontas vs extraterrestrial hunter? OK
Quick and dirty 4K screengrabs.

Scorpion would be proud of the scene at 1:50 mark "get over here!!!!"
More screengrabs because it wouldn't let me add them all in one post. Dude on the horse is using a Predator spear.
Screencaps look cool. Wish we had it at the proper framerate though... :'(

Last few attached. Maybe one of you can doctor it up and see if we can actually see the Predator under these shadows. I've gotta move on to other things for the day!
It's a crabator :'(

Pred's got some bling on his wristblade in that fourth shot, and the last couple you can more clearly see that the skull/bones are attached to his bio-mask, rather than it being made out of it.
Well, at least it looks better than the last Predator film. Nonetheless, cautiously optimistic with this prequel. It maybe be between Predator 2 (1990) and Predators (2010) in its quality. Let's see how this goes in two months.
Eh WTF

I always thought shield for predator should look like the one of Van Fanel's from first episode of Vision of Escaflowne ( I recommend to everyone who haven't seen it!) and thats exactly how it is done here! Super happy.
Overall the trailer did the job for me. I'm hypped with happy face! Can't wait.

Why can they not get the mouth right since P2? It's probably a safe bet with a mouth so stupidly wide and full of teeth that the mandibles are going to suck again
HYPE!
Love that the Predator actually feels a bit spooky here, like something unknowable to the human characters. A cryptid alien hunter dropped into "x movie genre/setting" like in Predator and Predator 2.
The Predator's jaw is a mess again. They will never do it right again, they just don't know how to do it anymore.
Great mask, though. Maybe its face will be covered for most of the film's runtime. Whatever. I'm glad it looks like an individual of the species again, and isn't a carbon copy of the original's face. Will reserve proper judgement for a more clear look.
Almost have to wonder if the mask might be made from the bear skull...
Only Disney + BUT is not a movie direct dvd becose ALL movies Fox, less two, only Disney+ since 2023.
ALL movies Fox, big budget, small budget only Disney+ less two in year. Is politic Disney.PREY is not exception.
Is bad? technically it looks good. Better than The Predator ( problematic production, 90 budget but bad visually than Predators with less budget.
PREY is style The Revenant or Apocalypto. Is more Predator than The Predator. IS A MoVIE to see en cinema.
There is shadow and blur effect going on so I can't judge on the Predator's face till the film comes out fully for us to see.
Other than that, this looks very promising. I see that the Predator dropped its plasmacaster to either a speargun or the Predator bow. Awesome for the speargun to make a comeback or amazing for the Predator bow to make its first film debt, glad to see it. Also, Naru going for that Comanche tomahawk version of the Chinese rope dart, I like it!
Everything looks even better than what I expected, and I had HIGH expectations going in, but man that's too lame to see they're butchering the predator design once again... It's not even a matter of ADI's mouthpiece and mandible, that's a "Super-Duper Predator" type redesign...
Really?

I'm not gonna complain or focus on it too much cause of the poor quality and the fact that's the only thing bothering me in this whole trailer, the scope and the stakes seems way bigger than what I anticipated, I'm super happy with the badassery of the Predator and some of the coregraphyn scenery and photography, the hype is real, and really after The Predator it's all I can ask for, a movie to give me back my love for Predator.
I'm not judging any faces or mandibles until I can fully see them in action.
One cool thing from that final shot with the questionable face is the Predator jumps from one tree to another and then quickly towards the main character to strike. A very cool looking move that you can barely see unless you slow it down.
The pred also has some interestingly shaped wrist blades
Nice trailer!
I'm liking the tone of this. The Predator feels mysterious and scary again.
The mask design looks very interesting, going to reserve any judgement on the face until we get a better look at it.
Sorry for my multiple posts, just noticing new things as I go through it frame by frame.
Am I wrong or does the predator not actually have a bio mask? Just the bone mask, I'm pretty sure in the shield scene you can actually see it's mandible on either side of the bone mask (this is a little more obvious in the scene where he flips the axe, you can even see the drool in that shot and the lower mandibles are hanging quite low)
What I cant figure out is how it sees as it's eyes are completely behind the bone
Edit: Actually in the axe flip scene you can see a bit of the actual biomask at the very top but I'm still pretty certain the mandibles are exposed the whole time
I love it!!! hope this erase the sh*´$ Predator 4
The trailer has a good tone and feel I think. I do appreciate a lot of imagery right off the bat & seems promising for sure!
Won't pass too much judgment on the Predator design or anything yet. But I was just seeing a similar thing myself Doomofman.

Seems like the helmet is just a bone style mask. The other darker image we got of the Predator without it's mask...does maybe some suggest wider set mandibles?
I tried to outline the bottom 2 mandibles under that bone mask in the picture below:
(https://i.postimg.cc/dtYr0dSW-/1-E436250-ABDF-43-EE-ACC3-2-B481-F059-DB2.jpg)
I watched the trailer a few times and overall I've got to say I like it. I like the mood and atmosphere. The tension build up in some scenes are fantastic. For instance, when the characters are being chased in the open field or when the tribe is looking up in the trees at night is excellent and even a touch scary.
From what I've seen of the predator I think I like. The mask is intriguing. Very lord of the rings Uruk-Kai Beserker from LoTR. Does the predator have a shield? Or was that some kind of throwing disc?
One of the worrying aspects of the trailer for me was CGI. That bear on the pred's shoulder looked mighty fake to me. Hopefully that's not a final render.
I Also, hope the "strong female lead" isn't too in your face over the top(a la Obi-wan). What I mean to say is that I hope the film doesn't try to hard to shove the strong female down your throat, I'm all for a female lead if it's done right.
Lastly, I was hoping it would be in a Native American language only dubbed like apocalypto but I guess not. Overall solid trailer.
Hot damn I'm so excited. Trailer looks brutal! And is that an agile Predator jumping around from tree to tree again? Yes please! Back to basics baby! Lots of Europeans too! And is that a mountain lion!? WOOT!!!!!
Kick off an anthology of Hulu Predator period piece horror films, please!
Hellz yeah!!!!!
So far, regarding the Predator's look, I just love him masked! I'm not sure what's going on in that one unmasked shot but it happens so fast in motion so I'm not going to jump to any scary conclusions.

Looks pretty good actually, kinda shows a bit too much imo.
I'm sure the face will be all f*cked up but if the movie is good then I'll get over it.
Right now everything looks good except for the face design.
Top mandibles look like they are coming out where his eyes should be.

You're probably right and I agree, a great movie with a cool bio-mask will allow me to forgive a lot going on underneath at this point in the franchise.

Yeah the whole plot is in the trailer. Not sure they should have shown the part where she grabs him to avoid the caster, that's supposed to be left for you.
great trailer. very hype for it.
Don't mind the different face design. I want diversity in this species.
Looks like a cousin to the Berserker Pred.

Maybe his face is melted or disfigured like Ahab, or Wolf. Maybe that's why we're seeing a weird shape to his face. Still not judging any faces or mandibles until we've seen it in full motion.

Yeah I thought the same, the forehead looks like the bone mask with the mouth piece removed.
Perhaps it get's broken in battle. One way of not showing us the face :laugh:
From what little we can see it looks like they're going way left field with the face design, which I'd prefer to the previous levels of Predator uncanny valley we've had. Just make it look different and obviously its own thing.
Which would rule it out as Greyback - unless it turns out there's two Predators, or Greyback shows up at the end P2 style.
I love her scream at the end where she taunts the Predator.
Love the bird's eye view of the cloaked Predator running after them in the field.
I like what I see. Looking forward to this.

Yeah, like I said, he's using the Predator spear.
I'm digging the Predator design a lot. Looks different. If the effect works, I'm not going to mind if it looks drastically different from the previous movies. I've wanted something new for a long time, and this might deliver. The mask looks like perfection. Right now it's up there with Celtic for me, but as we see more I'll be able to get a firmer grasp on what it looks like from all angles. Looks like this Predator has some major tusks for bottom mandibles. I'm so psyched. This trailer is the first trailer in years to get my blood flowing.

I'll try to stay skeptically optimistic.
I'll always reference this video for my opinion on the Predator mandibles and how they close. Obviously not all faces are a like but the biological function of how the species' mandibles close should be.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNiLv8wBJX4
I don't get why people seem so ok with this design, it looks way to different from the original Predator, it feels like another creature there. Reminds me of the Alpha Predator with a little of the Exiled from Predator: Hunting Grounds. Not saying is "bad", just weird.
I do like he bone helmet design. With some adjustment of light levels. I think It reminds me of the ending of Predator 2, or at least gives them some vibes.

This basically word for word how I was going to describe how the mandibles should be when roaring, a horizontal rectangle, plus the bottom mandibles should always be pointing up when roaring.

I do like that the top of the head design curves back.

Here is another shot but with some adjustments to view it better
https://i.imgur.com/Pt1Y5hR.png
Love this trailer and the Predator design so far but I am concerned over it's face. Might be a craberator with a broken jaw instead of being able to close it's mouth like in Predator 1 and 2. Like the examples Voodoo Magic's signature photo.
Really like the concept and cast.
I'm still going by my original thoughts that I posted in the teaser trailer thread "I was thinking it might start with native Americans vs big foot then the predator comes and kills Bigfoot. It ends with the Predator teaming up with the main Comanche woman against a 3rd party, likely colonizers and that is how Greyback gets the pistol that he gave to Harrigan.
Then takes her on his ship to be trained in the yautja ways like AVP Prey. If it is greyback then we know that he does not due since he is in Predator 2 and it is likely that the Comanche main character lives too. Maybe he is impressed with the way she fought or some of their tactics used so he brings her oboard to learn more of their ways to make themselves better hunters since the Comanche were so good at tracking and stuff.
That way all sides get something positive out of the movie. It doesn't disrespect native Americans and fans of Predator finally get one that lives."
Here are all of the Predator screenshots from the trailer and I did brighten up some of them as much as I could so people can see the details more. Given that it is a compressed video this is the best I could do.
https://imgur.com/a/IyMzbon
The hype trains hit me full speed! ;D
The teaser had me a bit concerned that they would follow too closely to the original movie but looks like there's a lot more creativity going on here.
Love that shot of them running away in the tall grass from the cloaked Predator!
Full Pred Face reveal
https://i.imgur.com/A5YrWxN.png
Slowed the footage down, pretty sure that's not Greyback. Not sure what that is to be honest. That all being said if I still had to speculate would be kind of neat if they brought back the supers for this. And that's something ADI would've had free range over since we only saw one of them unmasked.
I don't love that face, but I don't hate it either. Kind of reminiscent of supers or Assassin concept art.
Ok. Im in.
This looks spectacular. Seeing the Predator toss the tomahawk up and catching it made literally go "ohhoho yeah!" Amber Midthunder is convincing as a heroine for sure. Her native war scream waz awesome.
Now if we could just see under that mask...
Edit: I let my excitement get the better of me and I saw the images of the unmasked head. Ok so...I'm....not digging THAT. The mandibles don't look so good. Obviously maybe it's just the image and perhaps it will look better in other images. But for now...hype deflated just slightly. Everything else looks good. But that face design is not sitting right with me.
The bottom mandibles are definitely exposed while wearing the mask. Interesting touch.
I loved it😍💞💞💞💞
Can't wait for the 3 hour podcast. I'm serious when I say that
Okay THIS got me excited.
This looks wicked, I maybe in the minority but I truly believe Dan Trachtenberg will deliver, possibly the best film in the franchise since the original film!
The mud ! The mud is back !
Imagine being a Native American male, marginalized for years, finally getting a part in a movie, and that movie is all about how men are useless lol
Disney has already removed the 4k version. Anyone out there able to make a backup?
For me the jury is still out on the predator face design. It's such a quick shot it's hard to make out some finer detail but I do feel everyone's concern. We'll have to just wait and see.
Also, that face reminds me of the comic cover art of Big Game illustrated by Chris Warner:

imagine a world on an alien planet where they are all sitting at their computers remarking on how these films from earth contain actors that dont all look the same.
imho, if you want the original predator, hop on amazon prime and watch the 87 original.
everyone sitting behind the computer right now is a human, but im willing to bet we all come in different shapes, sizes, colors, bone structures, genders... etc.
is there a universe that exists where two beings can be the same species and look different?
i dont believe there is getting the mandibles right or wrong. imagine if we judged other human beings that way and complained about it on the internet.... oh wait.
TLDR: its a 2hr movie. sit back and enjoy, dont let an original design ruin your day.
Nice trailer....
Must say,i'm disapointed the native amaricans don't speak their native language...
This would have given the movie a better feel i guess
It is upsetting to see that they didn't go all the way with a period piece and have them not speaking in their native tongue. I mean I'm assuming that those are French fur traders those were about the only white men that far West at the time this takes place. Still it's an intriguing trailer I'm still on the edge about the face and how it looks I really hope it doesn't look drastically different as a point of them showing that it's an earlier evolutionary form of Yautja and that's why it's different. I'm hoping that it doesn't look too different just enough to feel similar and familiar but different. I really hate that they're claiming that this is the Yautja's first time hunting on Earth because that puts out any future movies set further back in time like feudal Japan, Viking and medieval times etc I hope that's just a misnomer and it's actually this particular Yautja's first time hunting on Earth not the species as a whole.
I also really hope that they stand true to the lore when it comes to not using tech against primitives. I know some authors write stories that consider bow and arrow tech and some don't. But if the Predator goes around blowing up everyone with his/her plasma caster that would just be silly. That also brings up another point it would be interesting if this would be the first female Yautja on screen. I know I'm the one talking about lore and they usually don't hunt but then again it all depends on where you're pulling from. I think this would be very interesting if it ends up being a female hunter. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Overall really liked the trailer, cinematography and action look fantastic. And wow, that Pred. The design is quite different and striking. The bone mask kind of reminds me of some of the concept art for Wolf:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/avpr-concept-092-michael-broom.jpg)
Another thing I noticed is the dreadlocks, they're thin, the thinnest I've ever seen them, so much so that I wondered if it was a headdress at first. It's out there, but from what little we can see so far I'm digging it more than I'm not.
Looks much better than expected for a streaming release. Looks like it would be worthy of a theatrical release.
The face will be what it is. It's not been done right since the original so why expect them to get it right now.
As long as she dies at the end in some heroic way, it will pass for me. I will not believe that a 20'ish year old woman went againts this cosmic apex predator and won. Everyone will die around her so how they want keep the suspense. God i hope this movie will surprise me.
People need to drop the streaming not being allowed to look as good as a theatrical release. For years now we've had many straight to Netflix/Amazon films that look theatrical. Because they have a budget/ and or great team behind them. This film probably doesn't have the budget, but the team to pull it off. Cinematographers can do both theatrical and streaming releases, it doesn't change the quality of their work.
You know how this movie will end guy. Pocahontas will kill him :)
Quote from: Ingwar on Jun 05, 2022, 08:21:35 AMYou know how this movie will end guy. Pocahontas will kill him :)
If the main Predator will die, most likely he will not be killed by Amber's character... You can see in the trailer that there will be human-predator team-up against 3rd party enemies, probably the colonists.
Actually, for me it seems that the Predator will kinda teach Amber to hunt partly (from that shot where she throws the tomahawk at the tree, and the Predator throws it back to her).
Quote from: Ingwar on Jun 05, 2022, 08:21:35 AMYou know how this movie will end guy. Pocahontas will kill him :)
They're already hinting how the Predator dies. I suspect the warrior woman sets the event in motion, but lets something else kill it in the end.
Why predator is using plasmcaster against enemies from less advance civilisation? They basically use bows and tomahawks. He should fight them in hand to hand combat without camouflage.

Based on the trailer it seems that there will be no plasmacaster this time, however the target laser is there.
Gadgets are (so far): wristblades, shield, sword, combi-stick and speargun/bow?
in one of my favorite films, Sean Connery plays a russian while using nothing but his standard scottish accent.
So, no. i see nothing wrong with the pre-colonial native American characters talking in english
Makes as much sense as everyone using british accents in... The Northman. It's an aesthetic choice. It's fine.
Also not sure what "accent" would be appropriate for these characters outside of....
the actors' own American accent.
This actually looks good, i hope we get a decent movie, and please somebody help me because there is not "recover password" anywhere.

Quote from: newagescamartist on Jun 05, 2022, 01:30:41 AMI'm digging the Predator design a lot. Looks different. If the effect works, I'm not going to mind if it looks drastically different from the previous movies. I've wanted something new for a long time, and this might deliver. The mask looks like perfection. Right now it's up there with Celtic for me, but as we see more I'll be able to get a firmer grasp on what it looks like from all angles. Looks like this Predator has some major tusks for bottom mandibles. I'm so psyched. This trailer is the first trailer in years to get my blood flowing.
That's what I'm thinking too. I'm obviously waiting for more, but as of now I really like the mask and overall design of the Predator. Even his skin looks great from what I can see.

While you make a good point, the primary point about the mandibles is that everything after the originals looks.....shit.
So I'm all for a crabenator that gives Winston's a run for its money.
You comment rings hollow. This whole franchise has been about men and likely will continue to be. Men don't need to be lifted up as much as women who historically across all boundaries have been oppressed. In the end you're missing the point as well. You're thinking from a different perspective. Indigenous people don't oppress their women the way American culture or European culture has. It's showing how women are half our strength regardless if it's a brutish strength. Think David and Goliath, it's not unheard of for a vastly weaker foe to bring down a powerful villain. The fact that she is a woman is not a valid argument and perpetuates that 'women are weak' nonsense and just feeds sexism, bigotry, and ignorance.
I cant find the trailer! has anyone a link?

That really does look like they went back and took inspiration from that earlier concept art for this one. As I mentioned earlier, you can see in a couple of those screenshots that the bone elements on its mask have been attached to it, rather than the mask itself being made out of bone.

Yeah, the complaints have been less about different design and its respective concept marquette and more execution of said design with odd folds, rolls and skin pockets not on the maquette but on your final product.

You can make them look different while still retaining core features. Like properly shaped mandibles.
Take this for example, Sengoku Predator. Clearly a different individual but retains important features to make it instantly recognizable as a member of the species.

- I'm not sure who your comment was towards but since I posted about the female character lead I'll try and elaborate. I think it fantastic there is a female lead in this film. It mixes up the macho man archetype and brings a refreshing take on the predator.
What worries me about a female lead in this film is that it's execution will done poorly. My fear is that it will try too hard to make this character a "defiant bad ass" and any individuality that might be brought forth because it's a female will be lost. Give me someone with the grace, strength and wisdom of Neytiri from Avatar and I'll be a happy camper. I hope this clears up any concerns you may have from my post.
It's always funny (read, not funny at all) how this talk about how the "execution [might] be done poorly" only ever comes up when the lead is female. If was a male lead character, slotted into this exact same concept/timeframe as what we're getting in Prey, nobody would be batting an eye or worrying about the "execution" on that front.
Trailer has me hardcore stoked!!! ;D
Pretty much everything has been already said. I'm beyond excited with what I saw. Love the mask, and the more raw overall design.
The face not so much, but I'll wait to see more and in better quality to have a clearer opinion.
I fear they indeed end up make the team up human-predator against columnists, that's not what I want to see (even though it can be pulled off).
I love the chase in the grass shot, and of course the triumphant raise of the bear ! Oh my !
Why did Predator kill the bear from behind, that's not sport and that's what he is all about I thought
It actually looks good! Can't believe it. Reminds me of the comic "Predator: Hell Come a Walkin".

Why do you fear a team up against colonists? Just because we see the Predator fighting against them? It's more likely they are interfering with his hunt at that time and he takes them out.
I think the final battle is between Amber Midthunder and the Predator itself. That last little scene of her screaming with the glowing blood in the back reeks of final battle to me.

Jungle Hunter killed Blaine from behind, and pretty much Hawkins too. Same with some of the various goons in Predator 2, Mombasa and Nikolai in Predators etc. They've never been shy about taking people or prey out with cheap shots while invisible.

I think that's exactly how it's going to go. The shot near the end where she says "I can kill it" looks like she might be in some sort of wooden cage. Going by the trailer, I'm thinking that at some point she gets captured by colonists, tries to reason with them and tell them there's a huge threat out there, and the Predator attacks them to get to her.

again... what are "properly shaped mandibles? what human in this world is "properly shaped?"

to continue what i was saying, we're discussing an alien species (fictitious no less) in which cinematically we've only seen a small handful of. if we're trying to stay on brand and not point fingers at bad design, maybe leave the door open for the idea that there are different shapes, sizes or "designs" in our case, that we haven't seen yet?
there are plenty of humans out there that have plenty of odd folds, rolls, and skin pockets.

Umm, I'm pretty sure Shaquille's jaw and Vern's jaw, bone structure, jaw muscles, all work the same way.
That's why I've referred to ADI Predators having broken jaws! :)
I can take different designs dude, I like the Alien in 1979, 1986, 1992, Alien Isolation, Alien Covenant, the versions in Aliens Fireteam Elite.
Not as big a fan of the ones in AVP 2004, AVP 2010 or Alien Resurrection, but there's no question that they are good in that they are well made regardless, only in Requiem could I call them qualitatively bad, Predator's not been so lucky though, everything since the first two has looked outright fake in various ways, the mandibles just happens to be the easiest thing to point to.

Generally yes. Unless there is a major deformity, the human arrangement of and relations between the parts works the same. Don't confuse yourself with sizes and shapes.
And no, when I look at the Scar maquette for instance that doesn't have skin rolls in odd ways and mandibles pointing in different directions, to the executed product that does, I am not going to chalk up poor execution to

Quote from: ROYCE_THE_PREDATOR on Jun 05, 2022, 03:18:16 PMWhy did Predator kill the bear from behind, that's not sport and that's what he is all about I thought
Maybe the bear and the Pred had a fight and the bear was fleeing the Predator and the girl was just in the midle of that.
i'm really digging everything so far! i thought the tagline was clever too, even if us predator fans could tell what the latter part of it would be ;D
creature design seems organically different but instantly recognizable. same for the snarl/clicking during the silhouette scene. more bone elements incorporated is always a good thing - primal-looking bone mask is eerie and fits its context. reminds me of the Shaman Predator's biomask that NECA designed for its ultimate action figure.. the shield is a great touch! works much better than a handgun (Wolf) as a new type of weaponry suited for a specific hunting environment
this new guy would fit right in with the Lost Tribe
lol i remember how underwhelming the first trailer for The Predator was.. so this is a breath of fresh air. really looking forward to seeing it on... the small screen :'(
still feel that the climax of the film will feature a human-sasquatch collab (no complaints if it does happen!)
At 0:49 in the trailer, when the Predator kills the bear, is it the sound of the target laser? Maybe he takes out the bear with plasmacaster (however, it seems that there will be no plasmacaster)?
we know it has the classic targeting laser, but it might not be emitted from its biomask this time. perhaps it's coming from the plasmacaster
Yeah I don't think there is a plasma caster, it looks like the targeting laser is for the spear (or at least a spear of some sort) that's fired rather than thrown

fair. so what's your gripe? the poorly executed jaw that hasn't happened yet or the difference in design from the jungle hunter?
It's happened ever time with ADI so far, even on the PredAlien, so we have reason for caution.

Kick off an anthology of Hulu Predator period piece horror films, please!
Hellz yeah!!!!!
So far, regarding the Predator's look, I just love him masked! I'm not sure what's going on in that one unmasked shot but it happens so fast in motion so I'm not going to jump to any scary conclusions.

BTW, is that lady-Schwarzenegger bathing in a dinosaur's footprint?
Naru and the predator could also do an alliance of conveniance for a short time period, killing columnists somewhat together although not being back to back, and then get back to their duel for the final of the movie. That I would dig a bit more.
Regarding the predator face, one tremendously important thing is that we can't see the eyes yet, which is fondamental in the overall credibility of the face. Let's be patient and wait for more.
One thing, kind of makes me sad but its an oh well kind of thing, is that the movie isn't doing the whole Comanche language dub like Apocalypto. I mean Naru speaks some of it to her dog, but damm that was a tease of what could have been. Shame but oh well!
Quote from: Nightmare Asylum on Jun 05, 2022, 03:00:40 PMIt's always funny (read, not funny at all) how this talk about how the "execution [might] be done poorly" only ever comes up when the lead is female. If was a male lead character, slotted into this exact same concept/timeframe as what we're getting in Prey, nobody would be batting an eye or worrying about the "execution" on that front.
I see where your coming from and I want to be as concise as possible. Lets take gender out of the equation. Speaking for myself I'd be critical of any character if the director tried to force a particular character trait down my throat to make a character: "cooler" or "badass." Give me believable characters and not caricatures of certain archetypes.
That sasquatch post from Dane was for all of you around here. He definitely lurks these forums. :laugh:

Yeah, I wondered that after the teaser but I'm relieved they went with English. I don't really want to be reading subtitles when I'm watching a Predator film.
I too agree the lack to a full Comanche dub is a major loss. But I know they didn't do it because Americans are morons who can't multitask reading and watching. Maybe all my years of watching anime better prepares me, but still. It ain't that goddamn hard.
Looks different, which is a good thing! The bear looked a bit too CGI although it's cool that the Predator is hunting it. As mentioned by Keyes: Lions, Tigers, Bears, Oh My!
Is the 4k version still up anywhere?

Yep page one in this thread ( a download link)
I'm far more forgiving about the Predator's mouth and mandibles. What I wish was more consistent is their vision from the mask and their natural vision too. They feel the need to update their vision in these new movies to HD 4K so it's clearer, when it isn't necessary. So I'm anxious to what it will look like.
Requiem got heat vision right, I'll give it that
Loving everything about this films vibe. I wonder if this will be the first time a predator has seen a gun. He seems under prepared for bullets. Maybe it's been years since they visited earth & this will be the first time they are fired upon. Also the reason why they come back, the moment humans become the ultimate prey...that's why the title is prey
Just spitballing here but I do love the trailer!
Looks good, fingers crossed it's a significant improvement over the last hot mess.
The final movie could just be that trailer on loop for 2 hours and it would still be better than The Predator
Quote from: Doomofman on Jun 05, 2022, 11:04:40 PMThe final movie could just be that trailer on loop for 2 hours and it would still be better than The Predator
It's already better than The Predator. We can start adjusting the tier list.
There were genuinely "scary" elements to that trailer, I thought. Bloody brilliant.
By far the best part was the aerial shot of the cloaked Pred chasing them through the tall grass.
Regarding the face - it looks awful on a lofi shot unintended for public broadcast yet. So I'm not too bothered by it.
Finally the design of the Pred is the best we've seen since the Lost Tribe. He looks stocky by comparison to other iterations, too. JH & CH looked well built yet lean; this guy looks like a f**king tank. The bio mask design is unreal as well. Rudimentary by comparison but startling and visually striking too. Love it.
I wonder if Dan the Man will release a slightly different trailer. :o
Kinda weird for him to come out and say , don't worry I'm releasing the trailer you already saw :laugh:
MTV Movie & TV Awards are tonight 8)
This is actually a good trailer, so I'm hoping if Dan already had a trailer cut to be released soon, it's not too different and doesn't spoil any more than we need to see.

He doesn't get any or much say on how the trailers are cut or when they can be released. Directors aren't involved with many trailers. Marketing takes care of all of that.

imho, if you want the original predator, hop on amazon prime and watch the 87 original.
everyone sitting behind the computer right now is a human, but im willing to bet we all come in different shapes, sizes, colors, bone structures, genders... etc.
is there a universe that exists where two beings can be the same species and look different?
i dont believe there is getting the mandibles right or wrong. imagine if we judged other human beings that way and complained about it on the internet.... oh wait.
TLDR: its a 2hr movie. sit back and enjoy, dont let an original design ruin your day.
You can make them look different while still retaining core features. Like properly shaped mandibles.
Take this for example, Sengoku Predator. Clearly a different individual but retains important features to make it instantly recognizable as a member of the species.

again... what are "properly shaped mandibles? what human in this world is "properly shaped?"

This is how I see proper variance among Predator designs. Granted some are too spikey and edgey looking. But overall I see these as good attempts to make a Predator different, but not the same.

I came across it on Reddit, great stuff! Real back to basics vibe and the atmosphere felt excellent!
Looks really good and atmospheric. They should give it a theatrical release. Let it play for a couple of weeks before heading to Hulu/Disney+.
I saw some people hoping it would be released during the MTV Movie Awards. I was thinking it was supposed to originally come out around the end of the month or early July. With the leak, maybe the promotion will be moved up a little bit.
There seem to be a shit ton of skinned animals in a field at 0:16, interesting.
Pure woke trash. I am woman hear me roar bullshit. The nod to the predator primal comic was cool. But the predator design looks worse than the predator hunting grounds skins and the whole strong woman trying to be something because she was told she couldn't is just lazy writing and pandering. Then again most everyone on this forum were hyped and swore Shane black was going to do an amazing job and that movie was horrible from start to finish so I'm not surprised at the naive optimism.
Quote from: Doomofman on Jun 05, 2022, 04:49:25 PMYeah I don't think there is a plasma caster, it looks like the targeting laser is for the spear (or at least a spear of some sort) that's fired rather than thrown
It sounded like it might be a bow shot that follows the triangle laser targeting - which would be fitting.
As for the Predator design thus far, I am a fan. Granted we don't really get a solid view of the face but the mask and dreadlocks are refreshing looking. And the body looks built but not bulky - really liked the shot of the Predator climbing and jumping from the trees to showcase how agile it is.

Most likely the Europeans taking pelts and animals from under the Natives as they did back then.

Which could also perhaps lead to increased tension between the Comanche and settler characters. The settlers are out killing and skinning animals for their pelts, then they begin finding their own people hung up and skinned and they think it's the Comanches who are doing it out of revenge. Settlers attack Comanches, Predator weighs in, big ol' battle takes place etc.

Yeah I can definitely see something like that happening.
IIRC some tribes would trade with the Europeans/Settlers so it could be that there's a treaty of sorts established until as you say people go missing and/or bodies turn up.
The scene where she's talking tonher brother/elder by firelight and she looks to the trees and sees blood spill or whatever it was will be the "oh shit she was right!" moment, IMO.
Hope they don't actually use that recycled roar you hear when he lifts the bear up. Also surprised nobody noticed they implemented some of the same environmental effects/tricks and or cinematography that were used for Predators. For example the Predator standing while debris are flying around him like in a wind tunnel is very very similar to the scene where Beserker puts his plasma caster beam on Brody's head. Than whole scene has the same feel as the colonists battle scene they show here. I can't explain why exactly but it's very similar. Also looks like Steele is in the Predator suit again because when they show the Predator standing all menacing he moves EXACTLY like Beserker. The way he shrugs his shoulders as he looks up breathe in and out really hard as he opens and closes his hands in the same way. You can just tell it's probably the same suit actor. Which IMO is a mistake. Ian played the absolute best Predator in AVP-R since the original. His little mannerisms were awesome and very Alien. Steele just looks like a pissed off WWE Wrestler
Looks really good!

I think it greatly depends on the director's vision and needs regarding how he feels the predator should move.

It's Dane DiLiegro or Kyle Strauts or some combination of the two (Kyle is listed as Additional Predator on IMDB though that might not mean much)
Really don't think we've seen enough to tell the mannerisms of this one and how close he might be to other performances, but I get the concern. I will agree about the roar in the bear scene, though. I'm hoping that's just in the trailer to make people recognize it as PREDATOR. Just a stock, typical predator scream.
One of my favorite things about new predators in each film isn't just the gear and the look, but I also love how the vocal sounds expand and evolve with every movie. Personally I love the sounds Berserker and the others made in Predators, I thought it was really great. It's one of the most enjoyable parts in experiencing a new predator, for me. Of course you need the classic roar, or a variation of it, but still.

Maybe if the reaction is great enough then Disney/Fox will toss it in theaters for a limited release. It really all depends on if people watch it & add Hulu. If it's a hit you probably have a better chance at the sequel being a limited release before. I hope things can change, I would love the option to see it in the big screen.
Might be a Fathom event...
Looks great and i did not watch the add. Thrilled it looks good.

Not limited release. Only two movies Fox in year since 2022/2023. In only Avatar, Free guy 2. Movies big. ONLY Blockbusters, ONLY two in year. ONLY successful movies.
Fox movies shot prior to the Fox purchase (Free Guy, New Mutants, Death in Nile). Some 40 films were required to be theatrically released by pre-purchase contracts.
In cinema Fox is the new Disney2.0. In platform Hulo is old Fox.
From this year that changes. Only two releases a year and only big budget mega hits. The rest of the Fox-style movies (Oscars, independent, medium R movies) only Disney + / Hulo.

Wow that's was a fantastic read. I had no clue that was the plan for Fox. I guess that why the announced the alien movie on Hulu as well. It's a shame the brand from both alien & predators has taken such a hit that Fox doesn't think it's theater worthy. Make you wonder if it becomes a huge hit on Hulu they might just assume that's its market now
Everyone complaining about the mandibles, you do realize that there are wildly different mandible set ups right? There are different looking predators with some pretty crazy mandible positioning, hell there are predators with tusks even. The City Hunter wasn't a carbon copy of the original. Take the Scout Predator for example, sucker has crazy mandibles that are set completely differently than anything on screen so far. I just don't get the demand that all predators look the same? As far as I'm concerned the worst predator design in a movie so far was the predator from the first AVP and that more had to do with how it looked so friendly lol. This pred looks like it will be monstrous looking.
New Mandible and face design is fine just not fake rubbery looking ones
Quote from: ScoutPredator? on Jun 06, 2022, 10:40:53 PMEveryone complaining about the mandibles, you do realize that there are wildly different mandible set ups right? There are different looking predators with some pretty crazy mandible positioning, hell there are predators with tusks even. The City Hunter wasn't a carbon copy of the original. Take the Scout Predator for example, sucker has crazy mandibles that are set completely differently than anything on screen so far. I just don't get the demand that all predators look the same?

Problem is that new ones look broken, hanging loosely from the face rather then closing properly. Its like having a human with a broken jaw barely closing their mouth.
So has the new trailer actually been released?
Forgive me if this is not allowed just delete it, but this place still hasn't taken down the 720p I couldn't find it on this site at all

Quote from: Neon Shadow on Jun 04, 2022, 10:53:41 PMWell, at least it looks better than the last Predator film. Nonetheless, cautiously optimistic with this prequel. It maybe be between Predator 2 (1990) and Predators (2010) in its quality. Let's see how this goes in two months.
Every time i see such kind of posts prior to release and afterwards people start to diz right after new movie released ))) at the same time i do hope that eventually studio somehow will make something viewable
The Predator looks very striking and seems to actually behave like a Predator again, which is great. Some technical aspects I'm not keen on, but all-in-all it looks like a huge step up from the prior films.
I'm legitimately and truly hyped about this film. For the first time in my 31 year life as a predator fan, I'm excited for a new film the series. No offence I'm a predator fan. Not a AvP fan.
I think the new design kicks ass. Original, tribal and menacing. Not the glorified power ranger looking monstrosity, we got in the last film.
Never understood why it's so difficult to keep in line with what Stan Winston did with predator. All these whacky ideas were never needed. They are mysterious, arrogant creatures imo and I like it that way.
Looking forward to seeing a detailed look at the new design properly.
There is one thing however I'm worried about, I'm sure one for you fine gents can point me in the right direction! :)
So in prey it's set in 1719 and is supposed to be the predator's first ever hunt. I find this strange considering greybacks flintlock was from Raphael Adolini in 1715. Could he actually of acquired this later? It seems so strange that the dates are so close yet dont align if this is the first ever predator to earth. It wouldn't sit well with me if the lore of P2 is ignored. Perhaps I'm missing something?
Quote from: The Shuriken on Jun 05, 2022, 02:03:39 AMThis looks spectacular. Seeing the Predator toss the tomahawk up and catching it made literally go "ohhoho yeah!" Amber Midthunder is convincing as a heroine for sure. Her native war scream waz awesome.
Yeah! That axe flip really got me. I love little shows of character like that - made me think of Fugitive's thumbs up. Which I f**king loved.
This trailer really got me hyped. Worries about the actual Predator face, I do love the bone mask. I'm a fan of the open masks like Ahab or the AvP Elder's (considerations of being a poor helmet look aside) as I think they look wicked, so I'm really happy to see that here!
The trailer actually makes the Predator look scary! I really dig that. It's nice to have that feel again. And he looks agile too! I love it. Looks like an absolute beast from the footage so far.
I am really excited to see this!!!

Quote from: Ingwar on Jun 05, 2022, 08:47:44 AMWhy predator is using plasmcaster against enemies from less advance civilisation? They basically use bows and tomahawks. He should fight them in hand to hand combat without camouflage.
I don't think it's rocking a shoulder cannon this time. This trailer made it look more like a projectile.
Quote from: Kailem on Jun 05, 2022, 03:26:55 PMQuote from: ROYCE_THE_PREDATOR on Jun 05, 2022, 03:18:16 PMWhy did Predator kill the bear from behind, that's not sport and that's what he is all about I thought
Jungle Hunter killed Blaine from behind, and pretty much Hawkins too. Same with some of the various goons in Predator 2, Mombasa and Nikolai in Predators etc. They've never been shy about taking people or prey out with cheap shots while invisible.
They've always been cheaters. :P
Quote from: Mr.Turok on Jun 05, 2022, 06:19:37 PMOne thing, kind of makes me sad but its an oh well kind of thing, is that the movie isn't doing the whole Comanche language dub like Apocalypto. I mean Naru speaks some of it to her dog, but damm that was a tease of what could have been. Shame but oh well!
Yeah, I think a lot of us were hoping for that but it was always a stretch.
Quote from: The Shuriken on Jun 05, 2022, 06:50:08 PMThat sasquatch post from Dane was for all of you around here. He definitely lurks these forums. :laugh:
100% they are. I love them poking fun at that. :laugh:
Be kinda funny if in the movie before they realise what the predator is that they suggest it's sasquatch going around causing maybe, though I don't know if that kind of legend fits with the Comanche or not
The reason we don't have an official trailer release yet is because they're still finishing up all those Bigfoot effects shots that were left out of the leaked trailer!
Nah, Bigfoot is left for the release. Predator won't even know what hit'em.
The bear in the trailer is actually a mislead same as how they removed all those Spideys from the No Way Home trailer.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jun 07, 2022, 01:35:00 PMThe bear in the trailer is actually a mislead same as how they removed all those Spideys from the No Way Home trailer.
Yup, the bear is actually going to be replaced with the Predator, and the cloaked Predator lifting him up will be Bigfoot.

Agreed; it's great to see another Predator that actually looks and behaves monstrous and otherworldly. We've gotten several watered down versions over the years, which - don't get me wrong - I've enjoyed to a certain extent, but it's so good to get back to the
bones of the original Predator 8) For that, I'm more than willing to accept a change in appearance if they're wanting to go that route. If that's what it takes to re-ignite the mystery and horror into the movies.
I was so nervous when it came to this movie and it's first trailer, but this new trailer has turned me completely around.
Trailer is officially out now (annoyingly not in 4K)
Finally! Time to watch it at the 0.25x speed.
Great. Hopefully someone will find a ProRes version somewhere soon!
Annoying it's not in 4K. Also a new poster to go with it (crosspost from the Catch All thread)

Now with obnoxious watermarks all the way through!
Think I'll just stick with the leaked version whenever I want to rewatch it, since it's exactly the same and nearly as good quality, but without those two big distractions in the top corners.
Either way though, the trailer itself continues to look great!

Ahah yep I remember doing the same! Most of the time it comes from the official site from the Studio behind the movie/show. But I often see people on the internet posting ProRes that you literally can't find anywhere so I'm not even sure where they came from. :laugh:
No there's watermarks on the top left and right corners throughout the trailer. They're kinda hard to miss. :P
For whatever reason that's only the case on the "Hulu" version though, not the 20th Century Studios version, thankfully.
Merged new thread and old thread.

Yes I was watching the one on the 20th Century Studios channel, my bad! :P
Yeah weird that they'd do it so distractingly for one and not the other, but also good that there's one without them.

The laser designator is unnecessary, but I love that Predator blood as war paint idea. It's very nicely subversive.
I like that it's using the tri-laser for a weapon other than the plasma caster. It reminds me of the aiming of the spear guns in AVP Classic.
Yeah, I really don't see a problem with it myself. I love how they've used it in the poster. I do hope we get to a see a Predator themed poster too.
great trailer
Poster just looks like Amber got slimed at a Nickelodeon awards show, tho.
Hope Prey gets 1 proper great poster. (Covenant got its stinker posters too before delivering greatness..)
Will be watching the Comanche dub of the film first. Gimme full immersion.
Quote from: Kailem on Jun 07, 2022, 02:16:51 PMFunny that there was a 4k leak, but not an official 4k version. Maybe it'll go up elsewhere for other regions where Hulu doesn't exist.
The 4K "leak" was artificially upscaled (with an artificially increased framerate, to boot). That one was good for stills and... not much else. Looked like garbage in motion.
Anyways, as after the leak, I continue to be very into the look/feel of this film overall. Can't wait to see it. Wish I could be seeing it on the big screen.
Regarding the new poster. Conceptually cool. I like the Predator blood war paint. Poster itself is a terrible Photoshopp job, though. Like pretty much any other contemporary poster, it would have looked much better painted.
Love the trailer. Not going to lie, the poster does seem like some PG-13 Nickelodeon slime game show lol

We hardly ever get painted posters anymore either, that Alien Covenant one was some bloody luck.
At least it's not a pyramid of photoshopped characters with a half orange and half blue colour scheme for some reason.
I liking this fresh take.
The poster is too clean and gives a very a PG-13 vibe. As someone else mentioned, it has a Nickelodeon green slime vibe to it. I like the idea of what they're doing with the Predator's blood as war paint, but it should be more rough, her face should be more dirty and even have blood. Predators has a very similar poster with Adrian Brody where he's dirty and bloodied. It gives an edge to it and you can tell this could be an R-rated movie

They have to consider their target audience in the marketing. The trailer is definitely brutal and suspenseful and atmospheric, but the poster really doesn't sell Prey as that.
Trailer is not RED BAND. Poster is PG13. It is normal. Marketing is Pg13.

hopefully no more trailers maybe a couple of tv spots.
Wasn't so wowed by the first Teaser but Really loving this New Trailer, not immense hype but enthusiastic cautious optimism.
One good thing I noticed is that Naru and Taabe, the one who says "protect me from what ?" (played by Dakota Beavers according to IMDB) don't feel like "teens" that much. Taabe totally looks like a grown man and a believable becoming warrior.
Maybe someone asked this question already.
Some parts in de trailer the forest is almost scorched earth. Maybe because one of the predators used his destruction device? Just a thought.
I would think more of a battle between columnists and comanches. But anything's possible at the moment.
I swear to Christ, if I hear one more dipshit complaining about how "You can't beat a Predator with primitive weapons!!" even though that's exactly what Arnie did in the first movie, I'm gonna f**king hurt someone.
(This isn't in reference to anyone on here, just the cesspool that is social media comments.)
It is somewhat frustrating.
I suspect the people complaining about that specific point already know Dutch did just that in the first movie, it's just they're OK with him doing it and not someone else.
Also, social media is for the birds. Way too much sass.
The more I hear about this film the more I like it. And if it winds up morons of that nature all the better.
Quote from: BlueMarsalis79 on Jun 12, 2022, 03:10:20 PMThe more I hear about this film the more I like it. And if it winds up morons of that nature all the better.
Exactly :laugh:
I still don't get how many people don't think the comanches are a great fit for a predator movie. It's a shame, but to each their own I guess.
@BlueMarsalis79, hey ! Morons have feelings too !
JH- melee and traps
CH- melee and a surprise attack among other wounds
Tracker- blew up
Falconer- sliced open
Berserker- decapitated
Captured- decapitated by Berserker
Fugitve- thrown into a car and decapitated by Assassin
Assassin- shot
Everyone from the first AVP basically died of melee wounds to a xenomorph in one way or the other but Wolf is the only one killed by the Humans, and he got nuked killing him and literally everything else.
So the count actually is more in favor of melee combat and traps than it was ever with guns even ignoring the crossovers and the two which got killed by comparable or vastly outclassed Predators. Naru is about as in-line with every other Predator protagonist given literally 1 was ever shot to death. Granted Tracker blew up, but that's like two or even three that's ever been killed by extreme force out of all of them.
I wouldn't count melee in how JH died, it whooped Dutch's ass for like 5 minutes
Quote from: PAS Spinelli on Jun 12, 2022, 05:17:09 PMI wouldn't count melee in how JH died, it whooped Dutch's ass for like 5 minutes

A big dose of luck also.

It's the only bit of media on the horizon I'm genuinely looking forward too.
She'll most likely lead the predator into a trap, a giant Punji trap is my guess. We've seen one briefly in Predators. I can't imagine her killing him any other way. although, an arrow right between the eyes would be pretty awesome.
A death by fire could be nice and new.
Quote from: BigDaddyJohn on Jun 13, 2022, 12:24:44 AMA death by fire could be nice and new.
Combine this with a tar pit.
I still think she's going to use the wildlife.
Leading him off a cliff edge for a classic villain death by falling would be a new one.
I also remember in the screentests that it came out that she's initially being forced into something of a "healer" role within her tribe before she tries to become a hunter, so maybe she'll end up using poison in some way (poison-tipped arrow?) thanks to her knowledge of local plants and medicines to weaken or kill it.
Either way yeah, it's crazy the amount of comments there seem to be about Comanches standing no chance because they're primitive or whatever. It's like......did you not watch the first film even a little bit? Or do you remember the end credits coming up after the scene where everyone is blasting the jungle?
The Comanches and their knowledge of the terrain were no joke, pretty sure it will be a factor in Naru defeating the predator.
Undoubtedly so.
What if the main character is great great great grandma of Anna from the original and Predator promised not to touch her descendents and that's the real reason Jungle Hunter didn't kill Anna
No God damn it. Not one of those.
No lineage garbage in Alien or Predator please.
Great grandpappy Schaefer mid-credits cameo confirmed.
Not to mention Predator happened in ValVerde next to Guatemala border and this one is IDK in Montana?
Clearly they emigrated at some point. It's all coming together!!!
No lineage thing with Billy either please god.
Watch them deepfake a character who looks exactly like him called "Billy Ripley".
The new AVP cinematic universe begins here (though all joking aside, I'd be totally down for it beginning here)!
Quote from: Kailem on Jun 13, 2022, 05:09:02 PMClearly they emigrated at some point. It's all coming together!!!
And what? Whole Predator species is monitoring whole lineage of one girl they deemed worthy enough to let her live? Preposterous. If they ever let someone worthy live, it's becuse they want them to reproduce and have better prey in the future.
Nah it's clearly because they know they'll one day have offspring who'll be worthy enough to fight Aliens in the far future!
Aaaaa ok., shittalk.
I still maintain that the best thing for this movie would be for the Predator to survive.
In every single movie weve had so far, the "main" Pred got nuked at the end. Six (!) movies in a row doing that.
I think after six movies ending with a dead Pred, this would be the breath of fresh air the franchise needs. No new sub-species or upgrades or whatever, just let the Pred live for a change. That would different enough from any of the others.
You dont even need to kill the main character to make it work. Let their fight end with a draw, or with her gaining the Preds respect, or something else along those lines.

Honestly, I think that's what will happen.
Predators aren't characters we're supposed to root for. They're glorified serial killers who pick off actual characters we like. The audience wants to see the protagonist get her revenge on the thing that killed her friends/family. No doubt she's gonna kill it, her whole character arc is proving that she can hunt. What kind of ending would it be if the Predator just pats her on the back and say "not bad,kid. You've proven yourself a hunter in my eyes." And just walks away like a badass leaving Naru with no trophy while he walks off with the skulls of her friends. Ah no, this type of Predator loving mentality is what ruined AVPR. The Predator has to die.
AVPR was bad for way more reason that it jerking off the Predator for no reason (something every piece of AVP media does btw)
Quote from: Jigsaw85 on Jun 17, 2022, 03:49:38 PMthis type of Predator loving mentality is what ruined AVPR. The Predator has to die.
Lack of interesting human characters, lack of interesting story, bad directing, lack of light, stupid dialogue. I'd say that ruined the movie.

I agree that she will more than likely kill the Predator at the end for those exact reasons. The only way I see a Predator surviving at the end of Prey is if there is multiple preds which is still possible I suppose.
Generally speaking though, I think it would be refreshing- and yeah fan service- to see a Predator live at the end.
They
should have done this with Fugitive in The Predator as he takes down the bigerererrr Predator- but that was one of many things they failed on with that movie.
I don't know if this is the right thread for this one, but a trailer reaction/review and analysis from a Native perspective and fan of the franchise;
I originally thought this movie was a joke, because "Disney" Now owns the franchise, so "Pocahontas vs the Predator" was an obvious poke at the Mouse. But then I realized they green lit the idea. To make it worse it wasn't going to be a parody/spoof. Then I remembered oohh.. yeah "Disney"! So I'm torn between laughing at it's heavily forced "Woke" narrative that is award winning cringe worthy. To wanting to start a go fund me page to buy a tombstone Reading " Here Lies the Predator, Killed by a Mouse.

I like how people post silly stuff like this, when we've posted articles making it clear that none of what they're complaining about is actually true. Do people actually read the news stories posted here? Or just pop into drop a huge shit take in the toilet and forget to flush? We aren't your toilet!
Wow the movie will be bad because the protagonist will be someone that is seemingly unprepared to deal with this, making them the underdog! This has NEVER happened in this franchise!!
;D
A bit more patience and judging the movie for yourself indeed seem hard to accomplish these days.

Why bother waiting to see the movie when dipshits like Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, & Charlie Kirk can tell you your opinion months before it comes out?
Alright folk, let's divert away from this direction.
So is it getting some kind of special limited theatrical release or is it only on Hulu?
Only confirmed on Hulu/Disney +. Maybe theatrical but zero news on if it's actually happening.
Quote from: Wweyland on Jun 19, 2022, 09:38:56 PMSo is it getting some kind of special limited theatrical release or is it only on Hulu?
We're hoping for a small select theatrical run, and the director hinted at that too. No official word yet though.
At the end of the day I'm just hoping for a 4k physical release. Fingers crossed.

That's the most important part frankly.
I'm definitely worried that we're not going to see a physical release for this. It's the worst part about the whole move to a "streaming future", in movies, TV and games. You're at the whim of the content owners as to how and when you can watch/play something, and in cases like this you're going to have to keep re-subscribing every other month you want to watch it, rather than just paying the one time fee upfront.
Not to mention the likely lack of any sort of behind-the-scenes content or special features.
How's the situation with other streamed franchise movies? Do they get a blu-ray release?

A good indicator would be to look into the other movies released on HULU. Like Deep Water for instance.

It has no release date. Somebody just made that listing out of wishful thinking.
Deep Water has no physical release as of yet.
I just checked on all 13 films on this list:
https://www.highonfilms.com/best-hulu-original-films/ (https://www.highonfilms.com/best-hulu-original-films/)
Out of all 13 films on here, the following have NO physical releases:
Vacation Friends (2021)
False Positive (2021)
No Exit (2022)
Plan B (2021)
Fresh (2022)
Then these films only have releases in a few non-US countries:
The United States Vs. Billie Holiday (2021)
Boss Level (2021)
Happiest Season (2020)
Bad Hair (2020)
Run (2020)
Big Time Adolescence (2020)
Palm Springs (2020)
The only film on this list that got physical releases in the US, (along with Canada and the UK, but no other countries), was the oldest film featured:
Minding the Gap (2018)
So this doesn't bode well for Prey. Granted, none of the films on that list were part of major IP's, but we already see that they aren't putting Star Wars shows on discs.
They don't want you to buy a $25 blu-ray and be done with it. They want you to spend a monthly fee until you die.
I hate that bullshit.
It's very sad...

Mfw December 2022 and no Prey 4K Blu-ray steelbook.
If we want to stay optimistic, its possible that the physical window when it comes to Hulu projects could be +12 months.
And I'll give it 12 months before I buy a bootleg that I probably won't ever watch since it's easier to just open Hulu than get off the couch and put the disc in... because I'm an idiot.
Another thing I was thinking of is if deals were signed before the decision to go to streaming was made, traditionally those deals would automatically include physical releases. Prey was always a 20th Century project and was developed alongside The Predator. But the production greenlight probably didn't come till after the Disney buyout, right? Depending on when the decision was made to go to streaming, we first heard of it during the lawsuit while the movie was in production, then the deals would've had to be revised or physical is inevitable under those original production contracts.
Deciding to go to streaming after the fact is what caused all kinds of headaches for WB during their HBOMax covid release. If the decision was made before anything was signed, and the greenlight was given, then obviously the odds start dropping.
Or maybe I'm just thinking in circles here, to try and stay optimistic.
