So this went up on Facebook. People are thinking the title is going to be The Predator.
Hmm... Not the most inventive of titles!
Yeah. If it is the title I'm not too fussed. There was no announcement with it or anything. Just assumptions.
Of course. I quite like the artwork and slogan though.
Thats a pic of the classic pred from Predators right?

Yes yes.... short to the point... but catchy enough artwork and slogan to make up for it.
Then again.... predator or predator 2 or predators all worked out well..

No worries lol! Thanks! Strange they would use promotional material from Predators, does anyone know if they will have a connection to eachother?
I'm not sure it's actually for the new film. That said, it's not like they've never used older imagery for promotion before.
Quote from: 420Buddy on Feb 15, 2016, 08:38:42 PMStrange they would use promotional material from Predators.
Not really. It's not like they will've started making the suit for the new film yet. I imagine it's simply convenience.
I actually wouldn't mind The Predator, it was always going to be this or some subtitle.
I would have liked Predator 4 or a subtitle. I've sent a request off to PR to find out if this is intended as an actual announcement.

As long as they ignore both AVP and Predators, they can chose any titles.
I quite like the title "The Predator".
It reminds me of the credits in the old films where the character was referred to as such.
I'm still dubious as to if this was intended as a title announcement. The Predator page posts images like that all the time.

It's PredaFour, of course! :laugh:
Genius. That seems like the perfect title. xD
Pred4tor
Seeing how it's a trend to make a new movie titled basically the same as the original, it's likely the movie will actually simply be called The Predator. Some subtitle would be nice to make it easier to discuss it without getting confused.
Nice to see things are starting to roll. Judging from this picture, looks like the story is about one Predator only.
So the title is potentially "The Predator"?
......Okay, let's see where this goes...
If it's just ONE Hunter... this COULD be interesting.
What if it's THE Predator, the story about the original one? They said the script is reinvention of the franchise.
Quote from: Predator_Spirit on Feb 15, 2016, 09:22:24 PM

I half agree with this... Mostly about PREDATORS.
But given Shane's comments on the sequels, he doesn't seem to think too highly on all of them. And this might even include Predator 2.

I hoped for Predator 3. The Predator is so lazy.
Nah, Fred Dekker wouldn't have posted that on Facebook right after "for Predator fans: YES" if it were a BlueRay re-release.

It's just the Jungle Hunter from the Predators film.
So there is really nothing special about it.
I really, really hope the create a new design instead of using this.
I was wondering how they would name the next one.
:o
"You'll never see him coming"
Does that mean we won't even see the Predator in the movie? :P
The Predator, eh? ;D

"In the event of a Predator, it is airline policy to always use the indefinite article a predator, never your Predator."
I'm just happy there's something about the film after so long.
No way that has anything to do with the actual movie. Just a quick mock up poster to give us the title.
Would a female Predator be vastly different than a male? Or are they gender-less?
Quote from: viendammage on Feb 16, 2016, 04:45:21 AM

It varies in the EU. One iteration has females being bigger than males, with slight breasts, another series has them as hermaphrodites. It can go anyway.
Is this a remake?
Is this part of the forum completely unaware of the sticky thread above? Everything's there.
Sounds and looks like a prequel. ???

If it is, I think it's a terrible announcement. No clarity as to the intent.
I'm thinking it's just a promotional image of the overall character of THE Predator. And with the news of the new movie coming everyone jumped the gun and assumed it's promotional material for it. I wouldn't be surprised if it's called The Predator at this point, but I have a feeling this isn't for the new movie at all. Especially since this is an image used for promotion with the last film. They wouldn't recycle like that (except for new home releases). Not for a new film, at least.

Same here. I've almost corrected a few people today, and then saw the news sites running it. I want to make sure it's not before I go sounding like a know-it-all to people who aren't in the immediate fandom/community. :D
It was just a holiday here in the U.S., by the way. So you may not get an answer for a few more hours likely, if they are even quick on responding.
Maybe the movie is about the crucified Predator from Predators? About him hunting on Earth and, in the end, getting tied to the totem on the game preserve? Just a wild guess.
Quote from: Mikey on Feb 16, 2016, 08:31:03 AMI'm thinking it's just a promotional image of the overall character of THE Predator.

Still, I like the artwork and slogan. Has a bit of an oldschool 80s feel to it.

I wouldn't put too much credence in the use of the Crucified suit. They haven't entered production yet, it's not like they'll have a new suit made already.
Wouldn't it be better if this thread was merged to the sticky one, instead of the other way around?
Nah. This is fine. We're not sure if it relates at all yet.

With Black in charge I iamgine it will be. R-rated movies are firmly his territory (
The Monster Squad and
Iron Man 3 notwithstanding, although even then the former of those is pretty extreme for a kids' film).
This is very intriguing. Interesting that they've released this poster before production has started
What I find interesting is that Shane Black directed Ironman 3, where in the trailer the Mandarian states "You'll never see me coming", and now he re-uses this line for his Predator movie. Curious.

Back then sequels just stuck numbers on the end.

I think I'd call it the opposite. It's just a promo from Predators with some text slapped on it. Not poster dimensions. No clarification of intent. Just a quote from the first film.
Looks fan made. The 'you will never see him coming' phrase is a nod to the Mandarin from Iron Man 3.
Lets see if any more news come out.

It was definitely posted on their official Predator Facebook page. No doubt about that.
It probably is real but it's not good. It's a little too on the nose for me. Just the title with the year of release on it.
The Predator is a cool title though.
I'm happy they decided to release something at last. It may not be related to the movie, but it is certainly a heads-up for the fans. Something's bound to come.
Speaking about it, I had this feeling for a couple days now: Maybe they'll give us a release date somewhere near the end of the Predator: Life and Death series?
I'm not too picky about a title. "The Predator" seems a good nod to the original.
A lot of people can't seem to grasp that it's likely a normal post for them on their social media. They post things like this every few days on the Predator page, as well as the Alien page. It's not something that's finally been revealed or anything, just normal content made to keep the page active.
I miss the times when sequels had numbers. The Predator can't be translated well enough in my language to differentiate it from just Predator. I'll be forced to call it Predator 2017 in discussions and many will think it's remake...
Yo, not much, but finally something! Looking forward to see something more substancial in the future.

Black confirmed to Collider that The Predator is indeed the official title of the new movie.

Finally. I'm getting this front paged now.
QuoteWe reached out to Black himself who confirmed that, barring any other ideas, The Predator is the current title of the film.
Noice.
Alright... Let's see where this goes. I'm cautiously optimistic about this... Cautiously.
The Predator, huh?
From the sound of it, it sounds like it could be just about one Hunter. I hope it is.
"Here we go again, bro" should be the official tagline of the movie.
Ugh. I hate this then. I don't mind the title at all, I like it. The way it was revealed was poorly done and incredibly lazy.

Agreed about the jungle setting.. No more jungles.
However I will say this... Please, I don't want the Predator Homeworld as the setting. I just feel that would be detrimental and reveal too much about the Predators. But if you count AVP-R, we saw the Predator Homeworld. Aside from myself, who is counting that? No one.
I suppose the setting would depend on the time period on when the movie is set. I'm speculating that it could be set in our present, or somewhere in the future.
It's time for dessert. With humans going after wounded Predator, First Blood style. Then of course their advantage goes to hell and monster proves he is The Predator!
I'd like to see a Predator film set during World War II in somewhere like North Africa with more than one Predator. Whether it's a sequel or a reboot. I'd prefer a sequel though. Maybe some new weapons. That's one of the things I like about every Predator and AvP film to date there's always some new gear.

But what dessert? A brownie? Ice cream? No no ice cream won't do, it'd melt during filming...
It could be a matter of different settings. Jungle, swamp, desert, forest and urban. I agree that it would be great to see a scenario where the predator has bitten off more than he/they can chew. All it would take is one wrong turn and a devgru team would be the hunters. It would also be good to see the resourcefulness of humans put against the technology of predators and the overall toughness of predators put up against the determination of humans.

this one
A cameo appearance by Kanye West would be mind boggling. Just saying...
Yo Predator I respect you and Ima let you finish, but Alien makes the best movies of all time!
I agree with the previous comment. I feel like it's time they made things fresh. And made the predator more of a main character. Put it in a first blood style setting with the predator having to improvise and fight for survival against renegade soldiers or hunters and showing them why isn't anything to mess with. THE PREDATOR😀
What a lazy name. Seriously? Predator with a subtitle would have been much better!
I hope its not on earth or this franchise is gonna end up mirroring the terminator series. You know? We get two movies on earth and then the stakes are raised and were on another planet. Bringing the setting back to earth would be just like terminator genesys as they brought the setting back to LA in present day AGAIN when we could have had more movies following terminator salvation in the future which would have lead up to kyle traveling back in time to bring us full circle! If you cant think up something new for these classics we all love then dont do anything at all. If it aint broke, don't fix it. But hey, you need that new mansion, right? So why not shit all over our beloved franchise for a few bucks right? When blomkamps new alien 3 was announced, i told my friends i'd never support that movie or pay to watch it because i loathe Aliens fan boys who also happen to be michael biehn fanboys and blomkamps is totally one of those. Dont get me wrong, Aliens is great! But i found Hudson a more likeable character than Hicks. He even goes out like a bad ass! Hicks is just boring with no personality whatsoever. Gun porn is what Aliens fans want because thats what it gave them. Same with Predator. Most people here are Aliens and Predator fans only because of that fact. I mean i saw Aliens first as a child as well but i'm not so far up its behind as to curse all other sequels after or confess to the world my love for michael biehn like others do so obviously. Every movie(except Avp and Requiem) is great in its own way. Some people ,though, only crave repitition. Shame on you :P
If this is a sequel I suppose the original predators grown up son is going to want some revenge.

The thing I love most about Predator is just how flexible a series it is. I'd like to see more of that on screen. I'd love for them to take a different approach and have a different setting. I'm still holding out on the hope of one set in the past.
I highly doubt we'd ever see it simply because of the budget requirements, but a Predator in a Blade Runner-like metropolis would have the potential to be pretty awesome.

Oh, that could be fun too. I always tend to be think about going into the past but a decent future setting could be quite interesting!
Oh sure and The Predator in a Mall would be awesome too. Why not have the predator hunting the president of the united states instead. Of course Arnold will be ze PRESIDENT! Actually all jackass aside, The Predator vs The Putin could actually be kick ass. Yea set it in Russia during the summer though complete with one very long car chase scene around Moscow.

I like that this has been confirmed as a Promo poster to get people talking. Cant wait to find out the setting. I always had an idea for a Predator film, where the opening would be set in a Desert, with a Military squad searching for Terrorists or something, a Sandstorm kicks in, then all bar one or two of the team are wiped out by a Predator. The main guy injures it. It vanishes. The storm subsides and the survivors find there comrades missing their heads. Cut to Japan a few years later lol
I do believe one of the earlier ideas for AvP2 had it being set in Iraq with a special forces squad.
Didn't realise that. I think as a sequence it could work :)
I really like the idea of things not going Predator's way, he ends up being surrounded and overpowered by the military and is forced to improvise.
I mentioned this scenario for a while now, but Predator getting captured and then escaping from the facility he's kept it would make for some great action and a chance to explore the creature more.
Thats true i like that as well
I'd be down to see something of a less traditional formula.
So you guys are down with the Predator being the hunted? Oh man how far has the Predator sunk that it's now afraid of man. I just don't know how well the world will take this after the last 3 beaten's the predator has taken.
Can't anybody come up with something more macho.

Rambo got captured all the time. It doesn't make him a pussy.
Yeah, reversed formula where wounded Predator is hunted by seemingly overwhelming force a la first Rambo is what I always wanted to see. Especially in different desert settings. Just get Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson and we are set.

Yea but Rambo is still just a man trying to get by. This however is supposed to be the Predator. Also known as the unstoppable alien killing machine who hunts man for pleasure and has the superior technology. Of course man somehow wins, usually due to the predator arrogance. I just don't think it's a wise idea to go the route of "on the run" in the first standalone movie since P2. I mean what is the out? The predator either dies again or escapes... shit we all know what happens. He blows himself up or something.
It's not so much that such a scenario makes it a pussy, it just makes the creature too damn vulnerable. It should be on the hunt; otherwise they should rename the movie to something more fitting. Like The Fugitive. I'm not against such a movie but not right off the bat. The predator seriously needs a win.

Depends what he's running from.
There's nothing particularly weak about retreating from a whole bunch of guys who are suitably armed and well prepared for your arrival. Especially not when you cap it off with turning the tables on them and getting your revenge.

I highly doubt we'd ever see it simply because of the budget requirements, but a Predator in a Blade Runner-like metropolis would have the potential to be pretty awesome.
Oh, that could be fun too. I always tend to be think about going into the past but a decent future setting could be quite interesting!
This definitely would be interesting and could look quite cool if done right. A futuristic Blade Runner style city setting would fit the Predator aesthetic quite well. Predator Concrete Jungle game did a pretty good job with the futuristic Neopolis city.
I dunno how much of a budget they will have, but it would cost quite alot to build that kind of sets, I reckon.

and what if he's lost alot of his weaponary as well. A Predator crushing a guys head with his bare hands may be and interesting image
I'd rather the Predator not be the "good guy," for lack of a better term.
And It dosen`t have to. It`s like a hunt for very dangerous animal. Hunters are protagonists.
Strange that they would use the predator image from predators

you are right, i saw people online saying how badass this new predator looks :laugh:
a broken dream ::)
I don't see how making the Predator outnumbered by armed forces aware of his presence and relative capabilities and forcing him to retreat for a while, but at the end managing the take them all out is making the Predator a pussy.
On the contrary, he'd be the biggest Predator badass we've seen.
It'd also show us that Predators can be something more than stubborn bitches and still win.

ALSO THIS!!
With all this said, if they actually use these scenarios we'll sue them.
This is neat to hear, was telling my friend about this, he suggested the possibility that this could be a Prequel, a film centred around the original Predator before his hunt against Dutch and his commando squad. Centre the film exploring his character and hunting exploits. While that sounds interesting I don't think that what this film will be.
I came across a video that RakiaThwei has kindly provided for us where Shane Black say that multiple Predator movies are kind of superfluous but he'd only be interested if there was a Predator story worth telling. Hmmm ::)
I wonder what does Shane has up his sleeve?

The problem with having multiple Predators is they get killed easily. Having one Predator means they're so good at what they do, it only takes one.
I like when we see other Predators, but they're not hunting, they're just observing.

Honestly, I'm hoping it does.. But I wouldn't bet on it.
However given Shane's attitude towards the sequels, Predator 2, AVP, AVP-R, and PREDATORS... I think it's given that he wasn't too fond of them but there is no indication that any of these sequels will be wiped out as far as the Predator side of things are concerned.

I just confronted the guy who said there would be Super Predators in the film. He said that he only said it to be more popular...
.....Pffft!
That notion of Super Predator appearing in this new film we can automatically write off is because regardless of continuity Fox wishes to rebrand the series to another audience applying a fresh take.
There's reasons why they attempt to apply their own approach to a new film, thats also the reason the AVP films not given acknowledgement in later was because of the sore taste it left. It had nothing to do with the film taking place on earth modern times, effects, dialogue, recycled plot points or living up to expectations, it failed to connect with people due to the devoid of likeable characters. But hey like many fans they fast forward the parts to get to the Alien Predator action.
Predators while flawed sure was an attempt to apply substance and thus critics gave a mildly warmer reception, but like before fans are divided. Its always been a trend that the sequels after Predator have fallen under some form of scrutiny. Regardless of any argument over the qualities of the Predator sequels, heck there's a percentage of fan who prefer Predator 2 over the original, Fox's likely to set a major emphasis on connecting to the original Predator.
There is the question, us fans dread, will the day come that Predator might eventually be on that list of great movies to be given a copy short for shot remake like Gus Van Sant's Psycho, rather unlikely. Or the complete reboot no continuity re-imagening, duplication re-invisioning Michael Bay Platinum Dunes style. Who knows, but for now sequel will suffice.
I wanna prequel to the original movie that shows everything that predator killed before earth.
Many interesting ideas floating around.
Personally, I would want a sequel that respects both the original and its sequel. If Predators is forgotten, I am happy.
I would prefer Predator:(Subtitle) like Alien:Covenant has. It makes it sound like it's a part of a larger universe and here's one part of it. Enjoy.
Finally, not a good name choice for younger viewers who want to see the movie when they ask their parents "Can I go see the predator?" Oops.

Hopefully this won't be sold to kids, keep it R rated or we're bailing out.
They will probably add a subtitle to the movie, it's still early to be final.
Predators don't need to be addressed because it's unlikely anyone knows what happened to those people. Random soldiers and gang members disappearing is not something that draws too much attention or something rare.
Predators could have a sequel on their own without interfering with The Predator thing going on on Earth.
Can't wait for a teaser to come out. Any new piece of information really. I can't believe we're getting a new Predator movie.

It was never an intent to come across as an insult, for I'm sorry you saw it as such, however one needs not to be a psychologist to see that a forum post expressing "Ill be Happy this movie is ignored" brings you to a smile, that's genuinely absurd.
Sure the Predator films has had their ups and down, some like more than other and some rated higher or less then our how we believe they are But they're just movies. Its all in fun but no need to get so intently personal over it. That's an unhealthy level of fan booing.
2017 would be ideal so the film release would coincide with the original Predator's 30th anniversary, however it could still be out by 2018 as RakaiThwei suggested, that way after it's theatrical run it'll be on DVD/Blu ray in time to sell a 30th anniversary quadrillogy box set, Sexology if its a boxset that includes both Alien Vs Predator films.
Seems to be a missed opportunity that Neill Blomkamp's film is putt off, who knows it'll ever get picked up, depends if Neill and Sigourney have lost interest. Had it been made in 2015 it could have out this year in summer for ALIENS'S 30th anniversary. Seem that Alien Covenant will be out for the year ALIEN RESURRECTION'S 20TH anniversary. And AVPR's 10 Anniversary, less than fondly remembered movies, but hey some fans like them.
Wonder which of the the possibilities is the most appealing, a Predator film set in modern times during on on going conflict, a setting in the past or perhaps another planning hunting other off planing sentient beings as prey. The possibilities are endless.
Alright, now we just need Van Damme as the main human badass and we're set.
While they're at it they should show the Pred going over a list of potential prey and crossing off Seagal for being unworthy. :laugh:

I see you've already apologised about this (and thank you for doing so) but I would like to re-iterate to being careful as to what you write here. We're not here to offend each other.
Predator 2 has always been my favourite of the 3 films and although I liked Predators I really don't fancy seeing any more 'Super Predators'. If they stick to the type of Predators we know and love and keep it r rated I'll be happy. Just for the record I liked both AvP films despite the fact that there was things I didn't like about them. I'm disappointed that they haven't done one set in the same era as Aliens though in space or some backwater planet with some colonies that are protected by Colonial Marines.

I can see it now. The movie starts off with our most precious B-rated action stars being taken down. Seagal, Norris, anybody from expendables actually. It climaxes when the Predator arrives in New York to take on John McClain on a cruise ship.
Haha, I just had a stupid idea. Why not have the predator come to earth to hunt something other than humans. Maybe it wants something more exotic or endangered. Like Giant Whales. This pisses off the environmentalist and they set out to hunt the bastard down and take his head.
Now I want to see a Predator going on a fishing trip to Earth. Just 2 hours of him standing and watching the bobber, hoping to catch a Great White. :laugh: Hmm, I wonder what a Pred fishing rod looks like?
Speaking of "fishing" you know what could be interesting to see? Actual Predator on extra-terrestrial action. I've loved all the hints and teases about it over the past but it'd be cool to see it actually happen.
It would be neat to see that. I dunno about a whole film about it but certainly as an opening sequence before moving on to the main story it could be pretty awesome. Could set up the Predator character as a legit badass, too.
An opening scene of the Predator getting a River Ghost trophy would be awesome.

All Pred sequels so far acknowledge the first.
They reference back to Predator but they're still independent of each other.
Exactly. You can watch every one of them separatly without any confusion.
I can't believe they wouldn't make a predators civil war movie, big vs little. The smaller preds bring in servivors from past encounters for help. I know i'd like to see something along those lines. It would def make some good scenes at the beginning of the movie watching the humans get abducted, a little light humor to start it off.
I wouldn't want to see it :-\
How about this for an Idea. A rouge Predator decides to hunt off limit prey, like a troop of boy scouts. This angers the elders and they send in another Predator to take him out. You know, some good old predator on predator violence. That stuff that happened in Predators doesn't count.
I suppose it could also feature an escape Predator that is so dangerous that a commando team of Predators is sent after him. Of course people get in the way of the hunt. :P
Well since we're posting story ideas... ;D
Spoiler
How about a group of Predators discover an Engineer outpost and get exposed to the black goo, leading to mutations and shit, then a bunch of space marines led by Bruce Willis and still alive Hicks show up and flamethrower the shit out of them, with Willis shouting "Yippe-ki-yay, motherf**ker!" as they burn.

True
What's up with Thomas brothers?
I'm gonna make a "call" on this.
Arnold will be in it.
The silence from both parties regarding "The Predator" makes me think Arnold will be in it, some-way, somehow.
Shane Black was in the movie with Arnold. Respects him, knows the magic that happened in the first one is STILL unbeatable to this day how many years later. If Black is not negotiating, and/or begging for Arnold to at least appear in this film then...
Connecting dots, I believe Black was waiting for Arnold to have a "clean" slate. Arnold is done with "Maggie" and "Terminator" and "478" is in post production. His other two titles are "announced" but have no actual timeline yet. So his schedule should be "clear" in terms of shooting this.
I'd be shocked...and wrong for that matter.
But my gut is telling me it's gonna happen.
If they do get him back...
...I want them to follow through on the original intention behind Predator 2. Have Dutch on a vendetta to kill these things whenever they pop up. He's been doing it ever since "the incident."
I'd also want him to get killed. Oh yeah, I said it. Kill Dutch.

No, man, killing Dutch would ruin everything. He didn't go through everything just to be killed later. Plus, I don't think Predators would kill him, he earned their respect.

There is reports of a June release date in 2017 for the film.
http://www.scified.com/news/shane-blacks-predator-4-the-predator-release-date-set-for-june-12th-2017
Fox has Kingsman: The Secret Service 2 coming out that month. Would Fox release two sequels in the same month that year? World War Z 2, Uncharted, Despicable Me 3, Transformers 5 and The Mummy reboot are set to come out in June 2017. Seems like a bad choice to release Predator 4. August 2017 seems like a good choice for now.
I would not trust Sci-Fied for these upcoming things... AT ALL!!
If it does come out in 2017, they would need to start casting and filming soon. It's cool that Fox could be releasing AC and P4 in the same year.
I know that 2017 is the ideal date, but for me, I'd rather wait for something at 2018. For me, 2017 just seems too soon.
It's not to soon at all. Predators was filmed in less than a year and look how that turned out amazing. From the cinematography to the directing to the acting everything was just amazing in Predators. Love that movie and I can't wait for the new one!!!!!! :D :D
That would be amazing to release it on the 30th anniversary with Arnold in it!!!!!!!

Exactly, especially since there's plenty of practical effects used in Predator films as well, so that saves the CGI department a lot of hassle as all they have to do is some polishing on the scenes.
I hope it is 2017, I'm way too impatient to wait until 2018. :P
I think Fox should release ThePredator either on June 12 as reported or August this way it will be out at least 2 months before Alien Covenant.

Yea, I'm barely patient enough to wait for 2017.
Assuming that they start production soon I don't think 2017 would be a stretch. June might be a bit of a stretch but it'd be a nice touch to release on the anniversary.

Many interesting ideas floating around.
Personally, I would want a sequel that respects both the original and its sequel. If Predators is forgotten, I am happy.
I would prefer Predator:(Subtitle) like Alien:Covenant has. It makes it sound like it's a part of a larger universe and here's one part of it. Enjoy.
Finally, not a good name choice for younger viewers who want to see the movie when they ask their parents "Can I go see the predator?" Oops.
Hopefully this won't be sold to kids, keep it R rated or we're bailing out.
Doesn't mean young ones wouldn't be interested in it.

As would I. I like when they try to coordinate around specific dates of interest to the franchise.

It's not to soon at all. Predators was filmed in less than a year and look how that turned out amazing. From the cinematography to the directing to the acting everything was just amazing in Predators. Love that movie and I can't wait for the new one!!!!!! :D :D
With respect, I agree with most of what you wrote. I feel that film went in the wrong direction trying to rewrite the original creature out of the picture, as I have addressed in other threads. But they did make a good looking film if nothing else.
I think It would be so badass to see a scene were the government/military have Predator captured and sinse Preds a mastermind he finds a way to escape and onto his ship outside the headquarters that the military doesn't know about because it's cloaked. Pred escapes and decloakes his ship knowing he finally has his way out salavating at the moment knowing he outsmarted the men. The military find out that Pred escaped and decide to take on The Predator with F-22 Raptors raving the sky while Predator in his ship. Pred the mastermind in THE seat setting up the engines getting ready to take to the sky's breaking the sound barrier going more than Mach 1 (760 mph) in one intense chase scene up high as a climax scene!!! That would be so awesome!!!
So seeing that picture of the original predator from Predators,
they are going for the prequel story of the captured predator by the super predators LoL
What a terrible title...Predator 3 (cause Predators doesn't count) or Predator 4 are better than this. Did they even try..SMH

I'm hoping
Deadpool may go some way to reversing the "let's just PG-13 everything!" trend that ruined so many films during the last decade or so.
To be fair, outside of the first AvP I don't think we've really suffered from that. Well, I guess the major over-compensation of AvPR could be called suffering too.
Did anyone ever play the Avpr Psp game it was really enjoyable I thought and the weapons as Wolf Predator were cool and what you could do to the Aliens. The hospital scene was cool were the Aliens were
The Predator, huh?
Really on the fence. At first, I kind of groaned. Smells like a reboot, which would make me throw up all over myself and die, but it sounds like it's going to be a legit sequel.
I also like Shane Black, but it's hard to trust anyone in Hollywood anymore. I'm constantly amused that even ye' old Ridley Scott, if you listen to his interviews and comments, is constantly talking about the pressure from executives to get asses in seats and make money.
I still hold him accountable for Prometheus, but I can't imagine the pressure involved from the money-handlers during filmmaking. Even for someone with Scott's prestige, it's got to be a rough environment for any real creativity to shine.

You make a good point, which is why I do not believe the newer films will shine like the old ones do, like the executives want them to. This is crucial because they want the kind of success that Disney is having with their various cartoon movies as well as the recent Star Wars acquisition.
I hope Shane Black will remember why the original was so special and try not to be a carbon copy like AvPR and Predators did while not ignoring the prior lore in favor of a "new direction."
No matter when or where it's going to be set you know there's going to be a fight scene at some docks just like in all of his previous films, lol.
It better be set at f*cking Christmas, too.
I just had a vision of Santa's head in the Predators bag lol
We need Major Dutch LT Harrigan and Mercenary Royce captured and put to the Ultimate Test on a Predator Planet. The 3 Baddest of the Baddest, all Masterminds in there own right. All have survived the almost impossible circumstances. This would be there hardest task yet. They would all have to get on the same page if they are to survive Predators Fury and what surprises are waiting for them on this Planet. Dutch Harrigan and Royce would be in the Ultimate Nightmare.
A Predator stalking Father Christmas and his Elves through Lapland on Christmas Eve with the finale taking place at some docks? Lol.
Anyone who thinks having Dutch and Harrigan fight Predators again is a good idea doesn't understand what Predators are about. They survived, they killed the Predator who was trying to kill them, they won. Other Predators respect that, that's why they let Harrigan live and gave him a trophy of his own too (though it would have been fair to get the Predator's skull instead of an old gun, but fine).
If there were other Predators in the jungle with Dutch, they would have come and paid their respects too.
Matter of fact, they still owe Dutch a trophy. That's probably what the new movie is about. An exhausted Predator who was obviously in a hurry rings Dutch's doorbell and says "Sorry I'm late", hands him a trophy and leaves.

True but not if your talking about the Berserker Predators that kill without honor and anything in sight unless your extremely lucky they let you go.

Yea, those are disgrace. They make no sense. Why would they go through all the trouble of getting the prey on a remote planet if they're just going to barge in at the end and slaughter everyone?
And they don't care for honor and fair play, yet one of them had a sword fight...and lost. Super Predators my ass.

If they do get him back...
...I want them to follow through on the original intention behind Predator 2. Have Dutch on a vendetta to kill these things whenever they pop up. He's been doing it ever since "the incident."
I'd also want him to get killed. Oh yeah, I said it. Kill Dutch.
No, man, killing Dutch would ruin everything. He didn't go through everything just to be killed later. Plus, I don't think Predators would kill him, he earned their respect.
Everybody dies sooner or later, and I hardly doubt Dutch would sit on his ass and not try to figure out what these things are. It's better than his alternative end where he died of radiation sickness in some backwater hospital.
The Predators would kill the shit out of Dutch because A. they have no idea who killed Anytime, and B. They kill people with guns who try to kill them. They're not going to stand there and go "Oh yeah, you already killed one of us, we totally respect you and won't try to kill you ever again."
Harrigan could just as easily be marked for another hunt if another Predator came back and started hunting in LA. There was nothing in the end that said he was given a life-time pass, only that he had survived that one hunt and for that he was granted respect. If anything that would make him an even bigger target because he would be a super badass trophy to hang on the mount. An alpha buck.

I disagree. Dutch is the last person Anytime saw with his mask, and let's assume his mask records and transmits everything he sees. They know he took his mask off and they know he never came back. It's easy to put 2 and 2 together and figure out Dutch killed him.
Look, humans are only dangerous because of their weapons. In a one on one fight they're bound to die, they can't match a Predator physically. Dutch got lucky the Predator was toying with him, he could have killed him right on the spot and be done with it. Humans may be fun to hunt but there's no way they think Dutch or Harrigan could do what they did again. They got lucky (or in case of P2, Predator was a victim of poor writing). There's nothing special about Dutch or Harrigan. There's no reason for Predators to consider them more worthy prey because they'd surely kill both Dutch and Harrigan without a problem if they really wanted to kill them.
But since the two of them managed to somehow win, they're given a pass. Predator has nothing to prove by killing them, but it fits into the whole honor code to let them live.
And Dutch doesn't have to die from radiation. It's not a rule.
Predator in second film died because of his overconfidence. Just like jungle hunter, celtic and bsp.

Nowhere on display in the films. They follow the same general rules of hunters, and showed Harrigan a little respect for being strong enough to take one of them down. That does not mean they couldn't decide to turn their ship around and another hunter come after him. Like I said, bitchin' trophy.

The title's ok, not sure what I'll abbreviate it to though? TP? ???
My personal wish list includes:
- A new setting, don't mind where, past, future, just different from anything we've seen in the previous films.
- Predator survives the film. Come on he deserves it!
- Some new snippets of predator culture but without demystifying it all.
- Predator hunting ET T-Rex type badass prey
- Donald Trump's head on a trophy wall.
Whatever we get I'm stupidly excited for it.

They won the lottery once. Highly unlikely they'd win again. And bare in mind they are 70+ years old. That would be really silly if a Predator gets defeated by a 70 year old.

It's not in the spirit of sport to defeat a much older, out of shape and practice opponent. That's like beating up Muhammed Ali today thinking it's fair because he was a good boxer.

They respect him and let him live. No point in going back 30 years later to finish something they could have done then and there. And you're making an assumption about how they get to choose when and where to hunt.
I just don't think killing Dutch and Harrigan 30 years later is of any interest to Predators. They don't care about an individual Predator, they don't seek revenge, and there's no sport in killing 70 year olds. Just not something that fits their image. I'd be really disappointed if Dutch went through all that just to be killed later.
I agree 100%, Queen.

How about a group of Predators discover an Engineer outpost and get exposed to the black goo, leading to mutations and shit, then a bunch of space marines led by Bruce Willis and still alive Hicks show up and flamethrower the shit out of them, with Willis shouting "Yippe-ki-yay, motherf**ker!" as they burn.

Novels are not canonical.Besides the script, mentioned that the bomb doesn't have radioactive fallout.
