Here we go again, bro.
Ah partial cast....there may be some hope for Arnie!!
There's 5 and a half cast members on that photo.
Split off and created a new topic for this.
The gun nerd in me is pleased at the Scorpion and the Kriss! ;D
Knowing that Hawkins is directing this is still funny to me.

This is perfect.. Shane was in the first one, and knows how to do justice to this franchise. 8)
Interesting, still a far cry from the team of bad asses from the original film.

Least 50 cent isn't there.
still though way harder than pred 2 avp1 & 2 and predators IMHO.
Ice Cube should've been cast in dis.
:D
Can't wait for Keegan's performance.
Pretty sure Michael Key is going to do a great job, but that expression on his face is making me LOL.
well that looks like a complete garbage cast right there ugh....
Looks like there will be some good chemistry between that cast on screen. Fingers crossed.
Damn!!! Didn't think we'd get this so esrly!!! :D

having a kid actor is the worst idea ever.

The kid will be a catalyst to the story. Something that helps them movie the story into the final third of the movie. Like the kid in Iron Man 3.

Nah, it's not. Plenty of great, violent and serious movies have kids as main characters.
But a Predator film doesn't need a kid at all in the movie. In P2 it was just momentarily and if it wasn't for the kid in the cemetery we would of never got that badass line "Want some candy?". It doesn't matter if it's different it's just not needed in a R-rated franchise.
my problem is i dont want to see a new team fighting a predator and taking care of a kid
i dont need that crap but shane black seems to have a thing for children in all his movies
QuoteBut a Predator film doesn't need a kid at all in the movie
Tell that to the guys who actually know exqctly what the movie is about.
Not quite as striking on first impression as the Predators cast, and I'm not too crazy about the costume design either. Here's hoping the kid isn't the central focus of the movie. I'm trying to remain optimistic but after those leaks... I'd love to be wrong.

Umm.. all they are doing is sitting around. At least the Predator cast pic actually had them look like who they are supposed to be, and with weapons as well.
Aliens didnt really need a kid as a character...

Some films surprise you from your initial reaction, however, a lot more are spot on from your first impression, such as seeing the Joker from Suicide Squad that turned out to be absolute garbage, or seeing the trailer for Terminator Genysis and thinking that looked like a waste of time, or having Topher Grace in a predator movie, or the trailer for Gods of Egypt which looked horrible from first site and guess what, it was! My initial reaction, from someone who has loved Predator longer than some of you have been alive and been around here for 10 years, is that this looks like garbage. You can be optimistic all you want, but my radar says we are being suckered again! The fact that Shane Black has connections to the original doesn't mean it equals the sequel we've all wanted for a long time.
looking at this honestly i think we would have been better off with a predators 2
Predators 2 would of been a Noland Prequel. I would of loved to see that.

I agree with that, plus we all know his ultimate fate and it was unceremonious to say the least so I wouldn't be interested.
On another note, can anyone identify the patches on Key's jacket and what they mean?
I wonder if ADI has the Pred suits ready by now.

My thoughts exactly. This looks like another pathetic fake predator flick which will try to add something new but like AvP will shit on the predator culture and destroy the mystery even more. Having a kid a main character only makes it worse.
The Cast... can't say I'm impressed.

the kid was more about Ripley and her development.
we dont have a known character in this movie to tie the kid to. So the kid will likely come off as it's own character which can stick out like a sore thumb.
I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally hope it doesnt.
The dude that John Wick needs to get into doing Pred movies.
I can't say I was particularly thrilled with the leaked synopsis but I'm going into this with an open mind. I'd rather not close myself off and determine to hate this before we actually see it. Black is a talented fella who knows Predator and knows how to make good films. By all accounts the cast is all really talented and I'm glad to see they're bringing in actors, rather than names.
Let's give it a shot before we condemn it.

You get out of here with that common sense and level headed view, they have no place in
this fandom :D :laugh:
Pft. More like any fandom, corner of the Internet or society. :'(
I'll just wait until a trailer to form an opinion on how I think it looks.
trailer comes out tomorrow with better lighting!
pussy-looking cast.
I don't think anyone is quite ready to bet their paychecks against it, but going off of the weak cast when they promised a blockbuster type event, having several well known actors walk away from the project already, the distant release date, the relatively no name lead to a huge cultural franchise that reminds us too much of AVP2, the ill received "script leak", the massive division of fan reception to the director's IM3 film, a comedian from Key and Peele with limited experience, and the idea of a kid in a rated R flick is all starting off very weak. We should have an A list actor to lead this film, and some huge incentives to get us excited, but so far we do not. We fans have been here before, so let's not write our hesitations off too quickly as rabid fans creeping out of the pits of the internet troll swamp.
It's always possible that this film could suck. A good director can make a bad film, after all. I just hope it goes well.
I'm not condemning it, just saying I know nothing about the cast (apart from Olivia in X Apocalypse, which wasn't great to say the least ). I hope it's fine, I really do , yet this leaked synopsis with super powered retarded kid and gigant mutant ninja predator aint good either.

Totally understandable, I also thought that plot description wasn't very good.
I didn't like the sound of the synopsis either, but I also understand that you can make any plot synopsis sound silly if you don't know the context. But I like the cast (sans Munn) and there has been a lot of great R rated films with child actors. I'm in the wait and see crowd.
here's a good post by Stealth Hunter with a list of good films with an R rating and child characters.
Quote from: Stealth_Hunter on Feb 16, 2017, 09:40:07 PM
Aliens didn't feel soft to me but it might've been lesser of a movie compared to Alien in other peoples' points of view.
I can think of plenty of movies that have kids as main characters but the overall tone of the films is serious and dark. Room, Beasts of No Nation, Moonlight, Man on Fire, Running Scared, The Butterfly Effect, Southpaw, Homefront, The Equalizer, Logan, Safe, Leon the Professional, The Good Son, We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Babadook, The Monster, Sinister, the list definitely goes on.

Hear, hear. It's so interesting that many fans want just guns, muscles and Ten Little Indians. A nice, risk-averse episode every few years that's basically a slightly different take on the original. No growth.

Are you the cannon maker?
Suicidedoors. Shane Black made a horrible Ironman movie. The Nice Guys was decent but I wouldn't call it a great film. He has a thing for kids in his films which is okay but now he's doing it to the Predator franchise. Having a kid is different yes but is it needed? Not at all. Especially in a R-rated franchise. He might make a great Predator film but I am just thinking of his "creative" decisions so far to what he thinks will make this a great film.

Yep. Exactly that! Gary Busey alone would bite his head off, no need for Predator.
P2 had great cast. The Prefator have none now.
Trevante Rhodes is huge.
Can anyone tell me what the bear patch and yellow patch on Key's jacket mean?
How do you know... have you seen their auditions etc? What a bunch of wankers
I thought we went through this. All Arnold's muscles are worthless against the Predator. Source: The ass whooping he received from the Predator. It was a thing from the 80s, really cool and fun, but doesn't work today. Predators don't care about your muscles cause compared to them, no one is physically a threat.
And this story does not sound like a slasher story. Predator is out to get his equipment back from humans. Stop thinking of the Predator franchise as one trick pony: a bunch of buffed up guys who die one by one. There's more to tell.
This is the best Predator cast yet. Which is ultimately not saying much.
First one had Arnold and Carl.
P2 had a bunch of supporting actors in lead roles. Glover, Paxton and Busey were cool at the time but yeah, they should've all been led by an Arnold or a Mel, not a Danny.
Predators had a bunch of tired guys who needed the movie. Adrien, Topher and Laurence all needed the movie or had a lot to benefit from it in their respective roles.
This cast? While all of them NEED this movie, especially in their roles, they all are fresh and have major roles in major movies now or before The Predator. OJ, Moonlight, Logan, Black Panther, Room.
The thing is I didn't. Thats what worries me. For now they are bunch of no names. I'm not saying they must fail, but nothing gives the assurance.

Yeah and AVP-R had a predator being sent on a mission to destroy a pred ship and eliminate a xeno infestation. Still didn't it make it a good movie. Its not going to reach Predator level. We will be lucky to see it on pair with Predators.
Regarding the muscle subject: Royce was by far the biggest threat to any Predator mano a mano and he was skinny as f**k. Muscle does not equal fighting skill... any martial arts will prove you that.
However, I do really like the look of this cast. Cant speak for the actings chops though of these new guy. Boyd Holdbrook is a very good actor and Olivia Munn is alright. Still waiting for a picture of Thomas Jane in character!
I dont think Boyd Holdbrook needs this movie. Especially since he is getting a lot of praise for his role in "Logan". However somebody like Thomas Jane desperately needs this movie to work.
The amount of worries on this forum for a movie we know nothing about is insane. I will wait for the first full trailer to make my first judgement. However I believe it will easily be better than Predators.
I hope so!

No more of a threat than Dutch. Both had mud to make themselves invisible, anyone who is invisible to a Predator can become a big threat, and Dutch didnt need Isabelle to save his ass.
Size and muscle can help on a fight, one of the reasons Preds can dominate humans easily.

having a kid actor is the worst idea ever.
hopefully it will be like avp 2 ( he dies we move on fast)
He's a main character. Muahahahaha. ;D
Having a kid actor was one of the many reasons why Aliens stood the test of time and has become a classic that is relatable to any generation... just sayin...

The relationship between Newt and Ripley actually had a deeper meaning in the story. Doubt this is the case.
Still there were times Newt's screams annoyed me.
It's not like the kid will fight the Predator. I'm sure the Predator will find the kid an annoyance as much as we do. Speaking of which, I know he got an award recently, but he was retarded in Smurfs.

looks like a wimp compared to
Gary Busey? Robert Davi? Glover? Paxton? Baldwin? dad-bod Alonso? :laugh:
Paxton?? Seriously. ::)
I'm guessing Thomas Jane isn't part of the team. Perhaps he is the antagonist who wants to catch the Predator for his own purpose.
Im alot more concerned that adi is doing the fx than the cast. Their work on avp is awful
Who brought the kid to my Predator movie?
That being said, I have an open mind, and I hope it's good.
I'm betting right now that Thomas Jane gets his spine ripped out.
Not the cast that I or anybody was expecting but I'm still optimistic and I'll reserve my judgment for now.

What about Adrien Brody as Badass Royce?
His acting made up for his physique. He was great, I will admit that.
If it was up to me I'd cast a crew of bodybuilders and pro wrestlers. The bigger and more imposing everyone looks, the more powerful of a threat the Predator is.
Ok, as a member of the military myself, Dutches crew is far from realistic with there body size. Hawkins, Royce and now McKenna are what you would expect physique wise in a service. It grounds these movies in reality which makes it more immersive, rather then having 'roided body builders running around pretending to be soldiers.
Yes I understand that a few of the cast from the original were actual soldiers years before the film but in today's society, if you looked like them you would be drug tested every second day and dishonourably discharged from your service.
And the kid could work. Look at T2 and Aliens for example. It gives the chance for the main character to have something to fight for (the survival of his kid) instead of the main character just being another potential number.
Sterling K. Brown is a fantastic actor. His performances in 'Supernatural' and 'This is Us' tv series is really friggin good. Better than what Arnie could pull off lol
But the movie isn't out so I won't judge on its rating until I've actually watched it. Could end up eating my own words haha
Please kill the kid off like avp 2
the earlier the better !
Lol the thought of the kid in this movie is just so stupid. It's different yes but it's not needed at all. This is a franchise that should be taken seriously.

The only unrealistic guy is Dutch since Dillon was actually in the CIA and needed the roids to push more pencils. The rest weren't that over the top.... no, no you're right, most of them are just too heavy. They're definitely a team that would be utilized in a limited scale for a very finite time period. They're a heavy hit team if anything. I totally agree with Hawkins and Royce's characterization though which is partly why I love Predators. Mckenna... can't say until the movies out.

The kids gonna make friends with the Predator. That or he is the spoiled brat who runs the show after begging daddy to get him his very own Predator. The movie end with the Predator in a cage in the kids basement.
What made the first movie great was mystery. We can't have have that so let's just have blood,Gore and action and another predator movie how good is it.
Quote from: overthere on Feb 20, 2017, 11:08:43 PM
I thought we went through this. All Arnold's muscles are worthless against the Predator. Source: The ass whooping he received from the Predator. It was a thing from the 80s, really cool and fun, but doesn't work today. Predators don't care about your muscles cause compared to them, no one is physically a threat.
And this story does not sound like a slasher story. Predator is out to get his equipment back from humans. Stop thinking of the Predator franchise as one trick pony: a bunch of buffed up guys who die one by one. There's more to tell.
Yup. End of story. That's that for anyone yearning for a testosterone-filled cast

No, just pure luck at that point.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm glad they're not repeating Predator. I'm glad we're going for more realistic looking cast and not trying to redo the 80s. Stallone has been trying to do that for ages with The Expandables and they're just boring films.
A lot of people complain that Predators is a rehash of Predators (and it really isn't) and here folk are, cursing out the next film because it's not rehashing elements of the first.
The cast might not be big names but by all accounts they're very talented. And that is far better than having just some names they can slap on a poster. I'd rather we get a good film.
The thing I love about Predator is it's potential for narrative versatility. While I might not be overly thrilled with the story synopsis (and this is from an early script, who knows how much it changed? We never ended up with genetically engineered Predators in Predators either) but I'm excited to see Black and Dekker try and branch out and do something different and not try and cash in on nostalgia or do a lazy retelling story.
My only problem with the cast at this point is that this photo makes the soldier to the left of Holbrook (our left, not his left) remind me of Robert Downey Jnr in Tropic Thunder and I can't unsee it.
Is it the chin lifting?
And the green uniform.
Whenever I see the thumbnail I'm just ... back there in that film.

Well said, hicks. The franchise
desperately needs to be expanded and reimagined. To me, the visionaries behind the previous Predator film talked the talk but ultimately stuck too closely to the original formula, not unlike SW: TFA. Who would have thought we'd only see the next installment 8 years later...
Honestly, knowing nothing; it looks good. We still don't know the entire cast, and all these characters seem connected in some way just going off the gear.The fact Black is posting this on day one hopefully points to a good link to the fans for the entire production without spilling everything.
Keegan being there will never not be great, it's already surpassing the Topher casting last time.

Predators was a rehash of Predator and what a piss poor attempt it was. The recycled lines, the pussy ass "super" predators who were far weaker then a regular predator, the disposable human characters who had no character development and served no purpose but to be killed. Predators was an absolute abomination of a predator film and this one looks just as bad if not worse.
*Fixed quote. Hicks.
A jungle setting, a couple of repeated moments and reused dialogue (though I do loathe it when sequels do this) don't make it a rehash. Completely different take on the concept. Did it do it right? No. It was a rush job that didn't work as well as it could have. I still enjoy it though - more so than Predator 2 actually but I like all the Predator movies.

I try not to get too worried about comedic actors being cast in none comedic films. It doesn't guarantee they'll be playing comic relief and ruining the movie. I'm always reminded of something Cameron or Whedon said (I can never remember which) about comedic acting making perfect dramatic actors.
Predator 2 for me is the only worthy predator sequel - it tried so many new things and succeeded even if the original can't be touched. However P2 ownes a lot to the Concrete Jungle comic which was the first to put the predators in an urban setting.
Seeing some of the cast together, takes it up a notch. or is that because i see Olivia Munn ;D
Ive seen this picture and looked at it for some time now,
and at the moment i say: no.
Not feeling this cast at all, but it already started with Hollbrook weeks ago or months, whatever.
I want to feel this, but no at the moment i would say no to this whole cast.
I went from negative to positive when i heard about the way they are going with this, with the predator 2.0
but now im back at negative, im really missing character, and maybe im pre-judge mental about them and they do have some,
character.
So no this doesnt hype me up at all.
But we will see.

Hey man you are not alone. Nothing about flick has made me interested in seeing it apart from Black directing and an R rating but these two things alone do not make for a good movie. The leaked plot details, the lame ass case and Dekker the hack are too worrying to ignore.
So you are basing your opinion on a leaked plot that might not even eventuate or be true?
And have you seen the work from some of these actors? Amazing stuff. I'm especially fond of Sterling K. Browns work so far.
You have to remember that all actors have to start somewhere before they get a name for themselves. Just give it a chance before you say "I don't know the cast so the movie sucks"
:)
People are so pampered these days they need an established name or it's worthless anyway to them. Like a gucci bag...

I enjoyed Predators myself (not as much as P1 and P2) so I am excited about this new movie and I have actually been impressed by some of the casting choices. But like you, I'll be first to admit I was wrong if the movie turns out crap haha.
The only thing I really disliked about Predators was the way the Sniper was portrayed. So inaccurate it hurts

People were drawn by popular actors and known faces since Ancient Greece .
Thing is I've been here before. It's third Predator film I'm awaiting with fanbase (and sixth total, so it's 50/50 for me). There is always hype, there are always expectations and always general attitude is "f**k malcontents and naysayers ". After premiere consensus is "could have been better" at best, so I'll apologise after we get great film. For now I'm cautious.
There's nothing wrong with being cautious or having worries (I'm not sold either) but when it's all you focus on it's not really much of a decent atmosphere. There's plenty of stuff about The Predator to look forward to. Just seems to be the same people giving off negative vibes and the same people trying to counteract it.
As much as I think Shane Black can do the series justice, the alleged plot leak and the inclusion of a language savant kid just seems cheesy to me if it is true, and from the photo it seems like it is.
I want the Predator to be a success, but just Shane Black being at the helm is cold comfort... I hope he subverts the done to death tropes that the plot leak seems to have at its' foundation.
Y'know what could work? A sadistic and truly evil Predator. Kill off the lead's kid right in front of him to fan the fires and lead him into a gauntlet the Predator set up.

For Predator. They are interesting becuse they seem to have some sort of rules ( not code of honour, preds aren't honourable) and probably wouldn't kill a kid unless he's armed, which qas shown in clever way in P2. I would want it using cheap shocksblike child killing.

This, plus the Predator killing a little child is neither cool nor fun to watch, there is just nothing about it.

In my case there's two things. We have characters in the movie who allegedly have some knowledge of the species and chances are they'll be thinking the exact same things as you two. That's good writing, having the subversion of the established character archtype not only impact you, but the characters in the story as well.
Second, there's the fact a kid is in the film with any sort of major part to play at all. He's either going to die in a brutal manner or it will be cliche and I wouldn't even be surprised if they threw in a buddy-buddy thing with the Predator and the kid looking at each other as "Bros" before the Predator gets in his ship and flies away at the end. That just isn't how I see the Predator franchise, that's watered down Disney crap.
The lead's child killed or seriously injured by the Predator is character motivation that we've never seen before. It's emotional, it's intense and... For god's sake, why does a kid have a big role in a hyper-violent movie about an invisible butcher of manly men? (slams head on desk)
This isn't a case like Newt, we've had stuff like this in movies for decades now. It's stale. There are two Predators, right? One of them is going to be a sadistic psychopathic killer of everything, that's my prediction. I doubt they'll have the balls to off a kid and you're right, no one wants to see that, but they've set themselves up for something that from the surface seems stale and cringe-worthy. I'm probably wrong, I'm hoping I am. I'm hoping people will look back at this movie and say "Heck, that's how you put a kid in a violent space monster thriller." But that will be bloody tough.

It all has to do with implimentation and genre savviness. Very few directors have that, I'm hoping in this case Shane Black does. If the kid lives, it can't be because of plot armour.

I get where you are coming from, but even if it sounds worn out... this is a Shane Black movie, so the kid will probably have a very thought out place in the movie and the story. He wrote The Monster Squad, the kids in The Nice Guys are
hilarious for example and there are some really cool movies with horror elements that involved kids... take Jurassic Park, Super 8 or even Stranger Things, those are awesome shows/movies in my book that wouldn't be the same with just adults.
A scene with the Predator after the kid in a dark house or park, because it's chasing it's tech could be
really scary if done right, more so than any Predator chasing an adult could ever be.
But, people can generalize everything, it's easy at this point to hear three things from this movie that doesn't go with everyones vision of what this movie should be and say "f**k it".
This movie is turning out to be a lot like the first one in the sense that they won't solely go for one tone the entire movie, there are probably elements of Spielberg (kids), Close Encounters (Mystery, Alien interruption), detective elements and of course the other Predator movies. In my book, that already sounds like some very interesting genre blending.
Other people want Predator with some more... well.. Predator, more of the same... and the same that we already had the same of.
The problem is, everyone knows the Predator, there is youtube, conventions, countless games, movies, comics etc... and there are a ton of people that won't give a shit if they make the same movie with the same Predator again, so now the studio says:
What if we give you a spin on the story, up the budget and add a couple of new critters that come with an all new Predator version? Mhmmm... like it or not, that's how you make money and get asses into seats, that's what they did with the
Fast and Furious series, they took the characters and the story and blended them with whole new genres... now a a dying franchise became a billion franchise that added another 6 movies, better movies.
And i gotta be honest, i love this franchise too much to not want to see a successful movie every couple of years.
The children in The Nice Guys are all cool but one, the daughter, she heavily damaged the movie.Unfortunately she had
a big chunk of screentime.
But whatever, Shane Black didn't lie about one thing, they're reinventing the franchise and it's an inventive sequel.It's more based on dialogues with a Spielberg approach than an action packed and visceral movie like Predator2.
In short, it's like a reboot with some details from the ancient movies just to not call it a reboot because people
usually despise the reboot and remakes.Like Predators who used the classic predator as a trick to not look like a total reboot.
Fact is the fans who want something in the vein of P1 and P2 will be deeply disappointed.
Prepare yourselves.

Not by default, no. Because the movie can be different enough to feel fresh and can have some great stuff that fans love about the first two movies.
P2 is so not in the vein of P1 anyway, and that has nothing to do with the different setting and in spite of the similar plot beats of P1.
The whole kid thing sounds like it's throwing pretty much everyone off. The kid is supposed to be able to decode the predator language. It sounds far fetched.
Looks very weak

If it doesn't equal P1 or P2 in terms of action, violence, and gore, then most fans will be disappointed.

Including myself, but it is confirmed to be R, Black can write and direct great action and suspense, so i don't worry in that regard at all.
It's going to be smart, clever violence too. Not just slash slash slash like Predator 2.
Care to explain how violence in this one is supposed to be clever? Was it clever in P1? If so, how it's not clever in P2?
This video articulates very cogently why Shane Black is a master of subversive violence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKiQs1dE0Tc
The violence in P1 isn't really clever. But it's good and not gratuitous. I'd say the only clever bit of violence is, ironically enough, Billy's death. There's this big buildup and we don't even get to see anything. That seems like something Shane would do. Or "stick around", which is more amusing. Dillon's arm still firing is also something Shane would do.
King Willie's in P2's sort of echoes Billy's in that regard, but other than that it's just mindless, gratuitous violence. Which is fine.

Ok, as a member of the military myself, Dutches crew is far from realistic with there body size. Hawkins, Royce and now McKenna are what you would expect physique wise in a service. It grounds these movies in reality which makes it more immersive, rather then having 'roided body builders running around pretending to be soldiers.
Yes I understand that a few of the cast from the original were actual soldiers years before the film but in today's society, if you looked like them you would be drug tested every second day and dishonourably discharged from your service.
And the kid could work. Look at T2 and Aliens for example. It gives the chance for the main character to have something to fight for (the survival of his kid) instead of the main character just being another potential number.
Sterling K. Brown is a fantastic actor. His performances in 'Supernatural' and 'This is Us' tv series is really friggin good. Better than what Arnie could pull off lol
But the movie isn't out so I won't judge on its rating until I've actually watched it. Could end up eating my own words haha
They went for the more realistic body builds for military guys like in Predators. None stood out as bad asses or strong individuals. The 80's muscle body type adds a level of physical acting that these films need. Would you want to see pro wrestling if everyone looked pudgy and normal?
This isn't pro wrestling.

Yeah its not about realism, its not about if bodybuilders have a higher chance on defeating a predator or not. It looks cools and it sells.
Like in sports, in each generation guys get bigger, not only bodybuilders or powerlifters, compare any athletes now and from what they were over 50 years ago. Normal humans got boring, people like to watch super humans on sports, and thanks to science they will continue to beat the previous generation and sell tickets.
Also I dont know how things are in other places but here the usage of steroids among cops and military is quite normal. It gives an advantage.

Going by this logic, Jamaican pinned by net to the wall is clever, same with Keys cut in half.
No good sir, those are not clever. It's ok though. I guess I did not explain clearly. Blame me! All good. :)

The violence doesn't have to be clever, it just has to be good (see the first 2 films for examples).
This cast besides Thomas Jane makes me kind of sad. Weaker than all three Predator films, maybe on par with AVP and better than Requiem. I have faith in Black & Dekker but so far, just not seeing this being a film with "scale" or a memorable cast of characters but hoping I'm wrong.

they'v got some really talented actors, check out moonlight, oj v. the people, and narcos to see how great they are.

IMO I think the cast is just as strong as the original (not physically but talent wise). Not sure about Olivia Munn though, haven't seen her in anything before

I only saw her in X-Men Apocalypse but she literally had 3 sentences of dialog and ddin't show any acting skills whatsoever, a disposable character no question. She will have more to do here hopefully,.
I can not understand how people are calling the cast weak. I don't get it. We have not seen the film yet. All the actors, from what I have seen of them anyway, are very competent at their craft.
The fact that they are not all 'big names' means very little to me.
This may very well turn out to be the best performed and written Predator movie. There is no reason that it can't be that.
Point is. We know nothing of the finished product beyond who is directing, writing, acting and making and all those involved are talented. So why all the negativity toward the cast?
I personally am really excited and have faith that this will be a good movie.

The original had great acting,Arnold delivered what I consider his greatest performance - he showed serious range in the movie and getting to see him transform from the confident,charismatic leader of the team to a scared(not showing it on the outside but still),worried for his teammates man who tries to do whatever it takes to save them and himself. Car Weathers, Bill Duke and the rest of the guys were also superb and were very convincing with their transformation from cocky mercenaries to scared individuals loosing their cool like Poncho.However credit must be given to the great John McTiernan for getting the best possible performances outta them.
There is no way the characters in this movie will be anywhere close to the badass crew of the original. Best they can do is try their own thing without trying to copy the cast of Predator.Hopefully they turn out decent.

You think this movie has the chance to have better characters or story? Don't hold your breath you'd be disappointed
It's not possible to top original simply because of nostalgia and cult status the first one holds.
I'd say it's also hard to get near P2 since it's cult classic for many. That said if TP is anywhere between P2 and Ps we already won and are in for ride.

My point is that there is too many people condemning this movie before it's even made.

I'm not condemning it yet. If it turns out good I'll be the first to admit I was wrong but what's stopping it being better is the cast, director,writer and so on. It never had the chance to be in the same league as the original.
lol but why are the cast and crew stopping it? I seriously don't get why you think this mate.
I never said YOU were condemning the film. Others are.
i guarantee you it will be just as good as the original predator mark my words.

From what I've seen, the cast, director, writer and crew are giving this film a decent fighting chance. The only thing I can see going wrong is fox getting involved too much. But we will have to wait and see which way this decides to swing
While I may not be familiar with the majority of the cast, they all seem to be talented individuals, many with awards behind them. Shane Black is a great writer and director. Let's see what they come up with.

I don't wanna sound piss on your parade but the first movie will never be topped.They don't make them like this anymore. The first is pretty much a perfect action movie - solid direction,one of a kind cast,great script... This one doesn't stand a chance against it.
Just like the first two Aliens movies will never be topped no matter how hard they try.Best anyone can get is close.
There's nothing wrong with getting close.
So we know the kids lives for the entire movie.
I bet there is an E.T. Moment at the end when the Predator leaves the Earth.
I will puke if that happens.
Everything between P2 and Ps and we are good.
Noticed that David Scott has been listed as "Creature Suit Art Director" on IMDB. He has an impressive resume. Practical effects ftw!

Do you understand what an opinion is mate ? What if, when the film is released, myself, Hicks and others prefer it to the original? Not saying that will happen. But it could. Stop stating that it has no chance as though it's a fact.

Nobody is worried about the autistic kid being in the center of the movie?
Kind of Mercury Rising style or The Sixth Sense. :-X
Don't get me wrong, those were excellent movies, especially the second, but I don't think a kid fits into the Predator universe.
Better examples would be Terminator 2 and Aliens.
EDIT: actually your examples are good - mine play more to the genre of film but now I get why you equated mercury rising and 6th sense.
Quote from: Stealth_Hunter on Feb 22, 2017, 07:33:14 PM
Better examples would be Terminator 2 and Aliens.
Not really because John was a bad ass teenager and Newt was not too emphasized. But in The Predator, it is a child + autistic + magic power.
EDIT: I just saw your edit. We agree then. ;)
This will be the best predator film and it will be just as good as the original predator YOU'LL SEE YOU WILL ALL SEE

I wouldn't say no to child soldiers because the predator would hunt them and that would make the tone of the movie
pretty gritty and dark, but the autistic kid bullied at school who learns the predator language will soften the movie.

I'm by no means a big Predator fan and I'm not just trying to be positive for positives' sake, but I for one, can identify more with a bullied child than I can huge bench pressing military guys. If the suspected plot device is true that the child manages to decode some Predator language, can't we just wait and see how it plays out on screen? Could be cool. Could have a Stranger Things crossed with Arrival vibe. The Predator is exciting me. The cast looks really decent.

You are just trying to find an excuse. But be honest, don't you think that THEY could have elaborated something more than "group gets hunted 1 by 1" without having the pain of bringing a CHILD (moreover autistic) to the cast (and the lead)?

Just because there is a child in this film, it doesn't automatically make it bad. The end result will decide if the film is good or not, not the casting of a child and your opinion.

I am just saying that honestly, making a Predator film with a child in it is an unworthy challenge.
this film will be amazing you'll all eat your words
BishopShouldGo just made second account ::)
This cast pic looks just as lame as the new cast pic for the Han Solo movie.
This also looks way too much like 'Predators' on first impressions.
To be fair, cast pics pretty much always look lame.
In this movie, the predator learns the value of friendship through hilarious mishaps with his kid friend, Zeek.
Journey with the predator as he leaves his shoulder cannon and wrist blades behind to move to New York and become a broadway actor.

The gun nerd in me is pleased at the Scorpion and the Kriss! ;D
Just checked those out on youtube, pretty sweet!! :laugh:
After doing some browsing I'm guessing the yellow wings on Key's jacket indicate he was in an airborne unit?

Saw Logan this morning. Don't know what to make of Holbrook -- his acting was fine, but he had no real presence despite playing a major role. He seemed disposable. Not sure if that was him or the script.
So Holbrook is Adrien Brody/Arnie character - he survives. Olivia Munn is female lead - she survives. Kid survives, obviously. The rest are non-white who probably die.
I would like to see the Predator kill a woman for a once, as I'm all for equal opportunity and all that. Jesse in AVPR doesn't count as that was an accident, and we never saw that old lady die in Predator 2.
50 Cent has finally been removed from the cast on IMDb!!

On this Spanish site, Spaniard actor - Víctor Miró - who left Spain for more acting opportunities, got a (probably small) role in The Predator:
QuoteAnd it does not go bad in Canadian lands. Shortly after arriving he was hired by a representative who won two casting: one for an ad and one for the movie The Predator

Yeah, you see the predator's hand reaching for her. Everyone in the train died except Leona, so it's obvious the predator killer her. You don't see it though, but it's implied.
I. Can't. See! Aauugh.

In the first draft Leona is not pregnant and she is killed.
I think that old lady is the best you'll see about a predator killing a female.The movies involving predators since 2004 tend to involve "friendly" predators who end up helping humans (scar, wolf, the classic pred clone in predators and the classic preds in the upcoming movie).
Of course I hate this, but that's the way it is.

People want to see something different? Why doesn't the Predator skin and hang all three of them together. That would be different.

Interesting ending to the movie. Camera pans to a mini skull and spine hanging on the wall of the Predator ship. Fin.

When did Wolf help a human?
When he tried to stop an alien outbreak on earth...Or when it used the laser sighting on the gun in the cemetary ,to prevent the soldier girl from picking it up.Wolf was a janitor basically.
Okay, I'll give you the first one, but the second one, I'm not so sure about. I don't see how he helped her by doing that.
Wolf was too lenient with the humans.
Just got back from seeing Logan and Boyd Holbrook did a really good job. He does have a presence onscreen and is very charismatic.
Also, Logan was one brutal film. I didn't expect it to be that deep.
