With 248 days till the release of The Predator, what is your guess on the over/under for days prior to premiere date will the first trailer be released?

Rule of thumb for the average studio tentpole is 6 months prior to release. That would be February for The Predator, could be End of January with FOX's Maze Runner though. I wouldn't expect a trailer/teaser before that.
I'm not expecting anything until end of Jan/start of February personally. I think Shane Black made a comment on Twitter a while back that also put it in this timespan.

Exactly
The first teaser probably will debut with Maze Runner / Cloverfield 3 movie. (end of January)
Remember the first teaser for Covenant came out kinda late, less than five months before the movie release ? I hope Fox will not do the same, i doubt it honestly but you never know...

Covenant was en exception, they shifted the release from August to May, soon after that we had the first teaser, which arrived on christmas, with the movie released on 19 May 2017. Still almost following the 6 months rule.

True, i forgot about the movie being pulled forward.
After the leaked non-official looks at some Predators, I was expecting they'd release official stills of them well before the trailer.
Now I'm wondering if the trailer will offer only slight glimpses.
One year ago, Alien: Covenant footage and trailer screened at 20th Century Fox 2017 Showcase Preview.
Corporal Hicks, have you heard anything about the 2018 Showcase ?
I hope, 20th century Fox will hold a similiar event this year with Predator trailer and footage.
I've enquired but haven't heard anything from the UK office. When I asked the US office a few months back there were no plans.
Early 2018...hope the first teaser has a bit of substance, not just clicking sounds and a mask
Anyone else tempted to not watch the trailer at all so all visuals are a surprise going in? I'm thinking that's what I might do. Perhaps listen to some of it, then get a feel for how movie fans feel about it but try to stay away from actually watching. These days so many trailers give away the whole movie, it's a shame.

I'll definitely watch it. You're right pointing out that some trailers show too much stuff, i hope that won't be the case for this one, because once i'll start watching, the damage will already be done. Remember the AVP R trailer ? This was ridiculous ! They showed all the potential "cool" stuff in it !
Trailer on christmas day a la Covenant would be nice.

I really hope so too, i truly can't believe that this happened.
On one hand, i just can't imagine Disney churning out Die Hard/Alien/Predator movies, but on the other hand, they do make damn great movies and there is lot's of potential.
Lets see.
QuoteDisney has always had a reputation for being child-friendly. As a result, fans of the troubled Alien franchise are concerned about what the deal would mean for the Xenomorphs. Dig a little deeper though, and it may not mean the end of the sci-fi horror Alien and Predator franchises. Disney has always allowed subsidiaries like Miramax and Touchstone to make more mature offerings; in fact, Kill Bill was a Miramax film. It's possible a number of Fox properties to align with this kind of approach.
Fox has a viable business plan for many of these properties, and Disney will hardly want to cut off multiple revenue streams from IPs they just spent billions of dollars purchasing.
In all likelihood, 20th Century Fox will undergo a name change and continue to operate as a separate banner within the Walt Disney Studios family. Disney owns a variety of different companies, from Marvel Entertainment to ESPN, with most fans of Mickey and Dory unaware of just how much exists in the umbrella. And while most fans are familiar with Pixar and Disney Animation and Lucasfilm – all of which have a broader, more family-focused approach – Disney has spent decades releasing all sorts of content [R rated movies like Ransom and Con Air] under its Touchstone Pictures banner.

Guys, the deal won't go through for 12-18 months. Fox is still handling the release for "the Predator"
Might it be attached to an upcoming Fox movie?
There's Maze Runner in January and Red Sparrow in March.
206 days till The Predator
looking forward to a teaser...maybe in two weeks?...maybe later?
More in second half of february or beginning of march i think, but who knows ;)
Any time in the middle of February. And Might the teaser be attached to Marvel's Black Panther.
Didn't Shane black say back in September that it would be out in 4 months? So maze runner seems like a safe bet.

That would be amazing but it costs so much doesn't it?
Do they announce what movies will have super bowl trailers?
http://comicbook.com/movies/2018/01/08/what-movie-studios-are-running-trailers-during-2018-super-bowl-/
In this article they mention Paramount and Universal mostly, they also talk about Disney but i guess it doesn't include Fox...
Wtf Fox.
I wouldn't be surprised if they wait a few weeks after the super bowl. I just read a 30 second ad during the super bowl costs $7.7 million; much higher than last year.
So, someone should ask Shane Black about a release date.
We're getting close now, 2 - 3 weeks.
Funny thing is, by the time the first trailer hits, the movie will be close to being completed.
I'm still waiting for news about Alan Silvestri and even more than a trailer. I really would not want them to look for alternatives to him.

The trailer of the Ant-man and the Wasp has already come out and the shooting started much later than the Predator and the premiere just a month before him.I certainly understand that the marvel conveyor, but it's time to give us a trailer.

It's still too early. Trailers aren't released based on when the movies were shot, but when the movie will be released. Ant Man comes out in July, Predator in August, hence the Ant-Man trailer first. But we're getting close, End of February is my guess.
The Meg finished Post-Production in December and that one won't come out until August... no trailer yet either.
It's no conspiracy, it's got nothing to do with the quality of the movie, and FOX is not trying to provoke us... it's good old marketing/timing.
It will be like Covenant: a long wait for a first trailer, then a steady stream of trailers and teasers, increasingly spoilerific.
Well, in this case and so almost the entire forum on the spoilers. There is nothing to be afraid of except the final product.

That makes no sense. No August movies have trailers yet. Predator comes out in August. That's over half a year away.
Why is it always the same?
Everyone always panics leading up to the first trailer, like the movie must be bad cause no marketing yet when it is nothing out of the ordinary.

For Covenant it was a shame how you could see/figure out how half of the Covenant crew get wasted from the first trailer :laugh:
There and so the whole team was stupid meat for slaughter and the creators understood it. So the trailer did not spoil much, as in the movie there are no deaths of significant characters since they were forgotten to add to the script. Shane will not allow this.
They are trying to decide if it's straight to video or not.

It's a shame that we won't be seeing anything at the Super Bowl. All the talk from Black was about him wanting this to be an event movie that people would be buying tickets in advance for. This isn't an attack on the potential quality of the movie (I'm a Predator fan and will be there on day one). However it would have been good to see Fox go heavy in the marketing and put it out there. The majority of the movies that people anticipate leading up to the Summer have spots during the Super Bowl. Again this isn't a rant, Fox may have full faith in their product but it just would have been nice to have seen a shift in the marketing strategy towards the Predator franchise and go heavy from the start.
Quotewould have been nice to have seen a shift in the marketing strategy towards the Predator franchise and go heavy from the start.
I wholeheartedly agree. Even if it was a nothing burger teaser. Like just the three dot sight and a logo. Let people know there is something coming. Get a wider audience aware of the film. Make it an event film, don't expect it to be one.
HollywoodReporter has the report on the Super Bowl movie trailers we're getting this year, and in the report is the following notation: "Fox, Sony and Warner Bros. — are sitting out the 2018 game entirely. In the age of the Internet and social media, film companies can often have just as much of a reach without incurring a major expense like the Super Bowl." :( :(
However
Quote"A week later, Black Panther is likewise expected to be a launching pad for high-profile trailers. Fox, for example, is expected to premiere a trailer for Ryan Reynold's Deadpool 2 before Black Panther..."
With the recent acquisition deal between Disney and 20th Century Fox, it makes perfect sense for the latter studio to skip the massive cost of a Super Bowl ad and instead launch the Deadpool 2 trailer with Marvel's Black Panther a week later. Black Panther is on track to have a record-setting opening, so it will certainly be a prime launchpad for the first Deadpool 2 trailer.
Let's hope, Fox pushes the button and the Predator teaser trailer will debut with Black Panther as well.
Big action comicbook movie with the same audience.
That makes no sense but somehow the trailer to the mission: Impossible soon will be released and this is half a year before the release.
Somehow? Mission Impossible comes out before The Predator and has a much higher budget. Everyone expected a Super bowl trailer for it.
This is not an indicator. There and the trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey was ... and with the mission the difference in a week.
Quote from: black on Feb 01, 2018, 07:05:46 PM

I'm not sure I get what you mean. You're saying the exceptions to the 6 month rule of thumb is an "indicator" of what The Predator should do along with Fifty Shades which comes out this month?
There still are 0 trailers out for movies that come out in Auguest.
I was referring to the mission and its budget and the lack of this budget in 50 shades of gray (the first part) that did not prevent his show on the super bowl. It is surprising that usually all studios use this opportunity and no matter what budget. And once again I repeat the difference is only a week.

Ah I see what you are saying now. I'm honestly not surprised Fifty Shades is buying ad space for the super bowl considering that last film made over $300 million on a $55 million budget and is being sensationalized by many within its demographic. It's also counter programming to most everything else getting a trailer during the super bowl.
Mission Impossible may come out a week prior to The Predator but that's still a factor being added to the other variables such as the obvious success of the franchise tested through many years, the star power onboard, the pg-13 rating and the budget. There's still no August releases with trailers out and we just BARELY got an Ant Man 2 and First Purge trailer - those come out a full month before The Predator. That falls in line with normal marketing that has proven to be successful.
Plus if The Predator released a 30 second trailer during the super bowl it'd have to be appropriate for all audiences and there's a chance Fox would prefer people's first reactions to be with a red band trailer. That gave Deadpool and Logan a boost in attention. The Predator simply landed just out of reach for the Super Bowl with all these factors considered.
Well, all this is so unfortunately and if the trailers to the deadpool and solo will be released this month before it, then by logic there will be a trailer in March.
I expect a trailer by the end of February, I'd start getting nervous in late March though.
Straight to Video or it's ending up on streaming services.
Doesn't look good.

The biggest and final game of American football this season is the Super Bowl and it is this Sunday. We will not get a teaser if reports are to be believed. The reports indicate that Fox, along with some other major studios, did not buy ad space during the game. Chances are we will get a trailer in a few more weeks.
I'm pretty sure the first AVP had a Super Bowl commercial, I can vaguely recall cheering as Chopper hurled the alien across the room during the trailer...
I just read Fox isn't sitting out completely but may just air teasers for Deadpool 2 or Red Sparrow. I won't hold my breath for the trailer we all want but who knows lol
https://screenrant.com/deadpool-2-super-bowl-trailer/ (https://screenrant.com/deadpool-2-super-bowl-trailer/)
QuoteThe announcement that Red Sparrow will unveil a Super Bowl TV spot refutes reports that Fox would sit out the game entirely, which leads us to ask: will Deadpool 2 get a Super Bowl trailer? It's a much more likely possibility now that Red Sparrow is getting a Super Bowl ad, but is by no means confirmed.
#180 days till The Predator
I want an AVP movie.
Seems like after the super bowl most of the buzz is centered around Solo when it comes to the trailers. Film podcasts I subscribe to have touched on the other ones but most attention imo is certainly given to Solo. Mission Impossible is especially getting little attention which is surprising because that was my favorite trailer from yesterday.
Probably a blessing The Predator didn't get thrown into that mix, it'd likely get lost in the shuffle.

Still surprised that Fox is going up against Meg in the Summer. Both are 'monster' movies. One is a blockbuster shark movie and one is a sci-fi movie that is part of a recent underwhelming Alien & Predator franchise.
Fox is going to have to have a very good and clever marketing campaign to get people in seats.

In all fairness Sony rushed the Venom trailer out so it could play before Marvel's Black Panther. The trailer sucked as a result in my honest opinion, they have none of the effects polished at all and couldn't show crap.

Have to start to worry if they don't feel confident enough to release the trailer before the reshoots.
Wait, so there are more reshoots happening? I thought those were taken care of several months ago after the initial test screening? I've been avoiding most of the news on the movie so I'm out of the loop. However that upgrade thing isn't actually real? I'm kinda worry since Hicks mention "upgrade" a couple of posts back.

hmm there's not much random info on the average 1st trailer to premier time line. Unless I'm not searching correctly. However sometime in March does sound optimal here.

No because the Super Predator weren't the Super Predators from the leaked script. That said, as I've been repeatedly saying the same is very possible of the finished The Predator. We've already heard back from test screenings that the whole Upgrade angle

is severely downplayed.
Ah so basically...
Spoiler

Anything's possible but i severely doubt that Spoiler
the upgrade do quite some stuff in the script, this has to be SEVERELY downplayed for him to appear only as some kind of final boss
If the trailer was playing with Red Sparrow it would've been classified and approved by now. I'm now thinking we won't see anything until late March but who knows.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Feb 26, 2018, 02:43:42 PM
I'd hope they'd keep the Upgrade hidden until closer to release.
I wonder if they might spill those beans alittle early though, given the reshoots and date change. Maybe attract some serious and positive attention quickly. It could be done in a minimalist fashion. Near the end of the trailer, they might show a quick shot from behind, with one of its arms and some back in the frame. Have some random character say, "My God" then end the trailer. Have the title letters uncloak themselves like a predator.

That sucks.
I'm still optimistic about the movie however the fact that the release date has moved from Feb to Aug to Sept together with the rumours of the test screenings and reshoots makes me think that someone in a high position wasn't happy and/ or confident with the movie.
The final movie may be better for it and the September box office may prove a good move. Maybe it's just fan paranoia from myself but it does make you think.

Fair point. I'd forgotten to be checking classifications.
The next possible trailer target: Wondercon (March 23-25)

I can't see Fox on their list of exhibitors.
Fair point.
Possible scenario: They'll have something ready for CinemaCon.

So in late april ? That reminds me of the first trailer of Alien Covenant that dropped in late december, leaving less than five months for the movie release. It will be almost exactly the same time left for The Predator release if the trailer drops at CinemaCon.
Yeah late April is probably the best bet. It makes sense if you consider how movies like Mission Impossible 6, Jurassic World 2, Skyscraper, Pacific Rim 2, etc are getting little to no attention on movie sites despite all having their trailers out. There's just too much to talk about they're getting drowned out in all the more immediate releases.
I'm honestly glad The Predator didn't release a trailer at the super bowl. Cinemacon can't get here soon enough, though.
CinemaCon will definitely have a trailer and possibly select scenes/footage
Maybe late march is still an option though, god i hope so...
Well now that The Meg trailer is announced for this week, i think we can safely assume The Predator trailer will be released in mid/late april, march is no more an option IMO...
No predator trailer until day of release
What about with "Pacific Rim" or "A Quiet Place"?????? Those would "fit" the audience.

I support this statement
We should've had a trailer in January or Feb based on what Black said
Yea but then the release date got pushed so the marketing team had to shift gears
IT had its first trailer drop on March 29th with a release date of September 8th.

Which is late July.
If they did something at SDCC last year for 'Kingsman 2' they have got to do something for The Predator. I'm hoping for a cast panel and perhaps a clip since the trailer will already be out by then.
Maybe a second trailer at SDCC
I'm just curious as to the "satisfaction" point of a trailer. I mean they are in the process of re-shoots so I'm thinking any trailer now is gonna be brief.
A pred noise....some words.....a 2 second flash of pred dreads.....some more words....and done. Something along those lines.
Strategically speaking. I'm not really sure what they are going for with the marketing side of things. And realistically the re-shoots to some degree are steering the movie in a different direction be it big or small, it's likely to impact the marketing aka trailer.
I mean would it be cool to have literally a teaser-trailer, sure. But it's not really going to make the waves, that a real trailer would.
It could still be a full trailer. Justice League had a 2 minute 30 second trailer released at comic con and online in 2016 well before its reshoots which were extensive. The Predator's reshoots are only lasting 2.5 to 3 weeks from what I understand so there's really no reason they can't put together a full trailer. However, I do hope we only see so much and don't have the entire film given away, so I'd welcome a trailer that sets the mood with only a few reveals.

I think it will drop by itself online on a random day the next few weeks. If not maybe with A Quiet Place? Not sure that has been rated yet.

It's been coming since January. :-\ It is good to read someone involved actually say that. I do hope we get a bit of a build of hype going before release, though. Feels like there's just such a lack of interest, it'd just be good to build into it - build some awareness, build some excitement.

I would bank on something just after reshoots etc finish so maybe Easter weekend? Then should get a nice build up to release
Guys, marketing kicks in soon. It's always the same, people are craving for some stuff and then all the sudden everyone's like "they give away the whole damn movie!!"
There will be hype, but the movie is still 6 months away, plenty of time. Social media is keeping fans warm with the fan app/the rundown and stuff, plus they added european sites to the Predator facebook page (in my case, i only see the posts they do in german language from now on), they did that with ID4 and Maze Runner etc. as well, soon after that, the first trailer arrived, so they are preparing something.
My guess is late March/mid April at the latest. IT arrived in September last year with the first trailer coming in late march... look how that performed, up until now, there is really nothing to worry about.

I totally agree. The Predator and It ar two VERY different movies.
Anyway i'm so curious about what the tone of the trailer will be... Mysterious/dark and minimalist, or more action/joking heavy... Maybe an amalgamation of both, which can be hard to do efficiently...
I'm not saying the movie will be as successful as IT, it won't be. My point was that 6 months is more than enough time to market a movie and build anticipation.

The marketing of IT was well done. Pennywise was at the forefront of the marketing campaign. That clown was everywhere. I guess they played off the whole fear of clowns thing. I don't know if it was their goal or not but it became an event movie by the time of release.
Compare that with the marketing campaign for the last Predator movie, Predators. I think there's people out there who still don't know that movie exists.
The power and influence of social media has changed since 2010 so there's a chance Fox gets this right...
#170 days till The Predator
So The Darkest Minds just got its first trailer today and is released on 03 August 2018.
Next up on the slate for 20th Century Fox...

Trailer Mid-April

Not knowing, in this day and age, means shutting off all social media in effect. People just plaster shots and latest rumors online as soon as they can.

If you zoom in close enough, you can make out the camouflaged Predator :o
On the right side of the picture or am i imagining it now?
https://imgur.com/a/mQxEV
About damn time they remember to actually promote the movie
Great news. I'm actually getting really excited for this movie now that they've done the re-shoots, and I'm looking forward to the first teaser trailer. That being said, I don't agree with the whole "going in knowing nothing" being cool thing. Kind of seems like bad timing for that statement. I hope that isn't code for a lack of confidence in the product, or making the trailer date. Like Dutch said "bad idea".
In any other situation, I'd tell somebody saying such, "so it sucks and you'd rather I not know about it until it's too late huh?" As a consumer, I prefer to know as much as possible about what I'm paying to see, before I fork over my money and time. Those are two things that kind of don't come back once they're gone.
Yeah, it's generally not a good sign when they try to hide the film for too long. There's being secretive and then there's being scared that the movie is going to get huge backlash.
Well, when a movie just went through reshoots, and was delayed, responding to that with any mention of something like,
"Wouldn't it be cool to go in knowing nothing? :-)"
does not really inspire confidence. That whole thing sounds like a roundabout way of saying "No man, it's all good, but, if it wasn't, I mean...that wouldn't really be....so bad....would it?" No offense, but in the age of movies like Iron Man 3 and Alien Covenant, yes sir I'd rather know what I'll be seeing. I have confidence we'll get something quite unique, but I'm really starting to wonder what's going on creatively behind the scenes now.
Somewhere out there, somebody is following this situation and screaming ALIEN 3! ALIEN 3! ;)

Well, there you go. Hicks is a corporal. I can speak colonel, but I'm only semi-fluent :D
I think the "Wouldn't it be cool to go in knowing nothing? :-)" part of his tweet stems from the question that was asked of him. So much has changed since the days when people knew next to nothing until a trailer hit. Now a random person asked him if a certain rumor was true regarding a change in the story and relationships behind the camera.
Fans seemingly have all info and not even a snippet of footage has been released yet.
Well it's about time but I have to agree with huggs on this one . When we think about it , there are a lot of highly anticipated films coming out this year , the predator has a lot of competition, you would think fox would of started the marketing late last year if it had a chance to compete , the fact it's so late tells me fox isn't holding this film with high regard , there's the sloppy leaked script , the fact there was bad screenings, and suddenly reshoots , When they are combined it's not a terribly good sign really . I sincerely hope this film is unforgettable, but I can't help but think this film will flop , after all the disappointments in the last 15 years , it's now become a thorn in my side ... to expect the worst.

Exactly. It is not as if rushing out a trailer like 'Venom' did would be beneficial.
Last year's September films had their trailers released on March 29th ('IT' which hit theaters on Sept. 3rd) and April 24th ('Kingsmen 2' which hit theaters on September 22nd). The Predator is right on schedule for the marketing. This has been brought up and seemingly ignored multiple times on this thread.
Hollywood , Venom isn't rushing a trailer out though , in fact the teaser gave next to nothing away . Sony are going to blow people away with venom !
And I don't agree , all the big films coming this year all had trailers last year , so why is the predator any different and not trying to compete ? If fox was really confident about this film , they would be pushing this film as hard as they possibly could , they also would of made it a summer blockbuster , but the simple reality is they haven't , Why ?
Its the same as 2010s predators , barely any marketing happened, some people were not even aware it was out , and while I do think this film will break even at the box office , it sure as hell is going to split fans right down the middle .

You're right, the Venom movie had one of the worst trailers of any 2018 movie. Every reaction on YouTube I've watched had underwhelmed and negative things to say, I remember one guy said it was so generic it felt like it was fan made lol
Avengers Infinity War had its first trailer on Nov. 29 with a release date of April 27.
That's 4 months, 30 days between.Solo had its first trailer on Feb 4 2018 with a release date of May 25.
That's 3 months, 21 days between.Ant Man 2 had its first trailer on January 30 2018 with a release date of July 6.
That's 5 months, 7 days between.Rampage had its first trailer on November 16 with a release date of April 13.

That's 5 months, 10 days between.A Quiet Place had its first trailer on November 16 with a release date of April 6.
That's 4 months, 22 days between.The Predator has an expected trailer on about April 15 with a release date of September 14. That's 5 months and in the same ballpark of timing with all the other big movies listed above.
Modus operandi FOX. Trailer 4/5 moths.
Logan : trailer october/Release March
Avatar: trailer agosto/Release December
The Wolverine: trailer March/ release July
Kingsman 2: trailer April/release septiembre
X-Men first class: trailer feb/release may
Alien Covenant: trailer december/release may
Die hard 4 trailer december / release june
Stealth hunter , yeah sorry I mean marketing began last year , infinity war was already starting the hype train before civil war even came out , and the venom teaser trailer was only a disappointment to some because it didn't feature venom .
Which i think was a good move by Sony not to give anything away , in a climate where trailers tell the whole plot before iv even seen it . It's a smart move.
Honestly ? This is Tom hardy , one of the most talented English actors in Hollywood , I wouldn't be writing venom off just yet , in fact I think it will be the highlight film of the year that takes everyone by surprise .
And I'm sticking to my guns so to speak , fox is not confident about this film , the signs are everywhere, I'm seeing a repeat of 2010s predators again. If you paid attention back then , the pattern is clearly in repeat .

Thanks for putting that together! It's all common sense but I'm sure there will be people who illogically think 'The Predator' should have released a trailer in 2017 just like 'Rampage' despite the fact that 'Rampage' releases 5 months before 'The Predator'. Next thing you know you'll have to explain how time is linear :laugh:
That's five big movies including 'Venom' that didn't release a trailer last year proving the year cutoff means nothing.

Yawp. That's a rule of thumb for many big movies lately.
Hollywood why do you always resort to snarky comments ?
ELDERCLANLEADER hello my friend. You used the Infinity war example, and I just wanted to say that comparing "Infinity War" with "The Predator" is a little bit off. Predator never had as huge fan base as Avenges MCU and right now not even relevant.
Yehhh possibility of "success" of this movie right now is pretty questionable, but you and Petr always trying to pick on any news and say how much it shows that 20 century fox is not doing their job right, or how not confident they are. Even so people clearly did show you that the time for the teaser triler to be released is pretty normal compare to other movies. It just feels that any information you see, you trying to bend it to fit your case of this movie being "Not good". I am not saying that the movie is going to be good, my comment is just an observation of your's and Petr comments. No agression, no mean spirit in my comment my friend, so don't take it wrong way. ;) ;D
All I was trying to say is the marketing bandwagon began a lot earlier for these films , social media etc
films which by all accounts will be successful. Stop trying to deny the obvious. If fox thought the predator was going to be a sell out , marketing would be in full swing by now , Hollywood we live in something called capitalism, you have said yourself that it's a business , and like all buisinesses you have to compete , and to come out at the top of the heap you have to be aggressive . That's where marketing comes in .
The fact fox haven't been , tells me , they don't have much hope it will be successful, so they are not going to bother spending millions of dollars hyping and marketing something they think will fail . This will be a B movie . Fox are probably only bothered about breaking even at this stage , and with the sour taste of alien covenant , can we really blame them ?
ELDERCLANLEADER too much speculation, that's it. :)
Azamultic , I don't want the film to fail I want the complete opposite even if I don't like it ;)
The point I'm making , is when you pay attention from the very beginning, you can see the cracks when a film is in trouble .
This is almost definitely the case , and I think fox forced Shane into reshoots so as to tone down elements they were worried we would hate .
I would of thought the guys who paid attention to 2010s predators production , would be seeing the same patterns I'm seeing , when it comes to the predator .
If I'm wrong I'll hold my hands up , but I'm 90% accurate on predicting a films success . And I think the predator is going to be a complete failure , unless fox start pushing it hard now . We as fans know the predator is coming out sure , but we are fans, but can you honestly say joe bloggs down the road does ? Most people are aware of infinity war even if you don't like marvel . And that's exactly my point .
Everyone who believe in any rumor about this movie should be worried, mostly fans. There is no other way how can I describe this, almost all the info about this film are bad, honestly.
And for what it's worth , if fox didn't want the backlash from fans , maybe they should be a little more sensible and less careless when it comes to leaking the entire script etc , and before you say " but you chose to read it "
I'm a fan , of course I'm going to read it . That's like putting chocolate under a 2 year olds nose and telling them not to eat it 😂

Skyscraper had its first trailer on February 4 with a release date of July 13. That's 5 months, 10 days between.
A Quiet Place had its first trailer on November 16 with a release date of April 6. That's 4 months, 22 days between.
The Predator has an expected trailer on about April 15 with a release date of September 14. That's 5 months and in the same ballpark of timing with all the other big movies listed above.
Thanks for putting that together! It's all common sense but I'm sure there will be people who illogically think 'The Predator' should have released a trailer in 2017 just like 'Rampage' despite the fact that 'Rampage' releases 5 months before 'The Predator'. Next thing you know you'll have to explain how time is linear :laugh:
That's five big movies including 'Venom' that didn't release a trailer last year proving the year cutoff means nothing.

Modus operandi FOX. Trailer 4/5 moths.
Yawp. That's a rule of thumb for many big movies lately.
I'm not saying Venom is guaranteed to be a sub par movie but i believe the trailer being pushed out to air with Black Panther was a mistake. They had none of the effects done and threw together such a lame trailer now people have lowered expectations. I want a second trailer to inspire more confidence.
Venom isn't competing with other big movies of the summer it was placed all the way out in October far away from big movies so it will do good. I want Tom Hardy to be in a lasting franchise.
Edit-
& like The Predator, it wont get drowned out in the over saturated summer.
Petr Svancara its not super bad, its still a chance of it being a good movie. I am fan of predator and I am waiting for this movie, if its going to suck, that okay, I already survived AvP, AvPR, Predators. So another not good movie not going to kill my love for this alien race. As long as they making movies about predator, its always a chance for it being good. This at least my position. Again I have hope, but I do understand that all info we know not making me confident about this movie being a success. But at same time I am not confident that its going to be 100 % fale.
Stealth hunter , do you not think it's a clever move by Sony to keep people guessing ? As iv said it seems trailers are becoming short films all in their own right these days , I know everything before iv even watched the actual film .
Might just be me , but I'm glad they haven't shown venom or any plot at this point . And again this Tom hardy , that man has bags of talent . When he mingles with leonardo dicaprio , I highly doubt he would be part of this film if it was a stinker . I can't wait for this film to prove everyone wrong . Venom in my opinion is how the predator should be doing it . Making it known it's coming , but giving very little away .
Yeah shame black saying that Is baffling . He will know that a lot of us know about and have read the original script , seen the leaked photos of the predators , read the screening reactions etc
Why he chose those choice of words is intriguing to say the least .
Shane Black - "Wouldn't it be cool to go knowing nothing" Me - "Yeah, sure, I agree". . but not after when I see Predators in the human clothes, thats the shock for me. I just cant believe that, they have pants. . oh my! But even when I try to forget that. . they have still some weird armor, ok? Let me example that. . their armor, when you zoom the photo, it has a lot of human parts in it, that parts that are connecting their pieces remind me a school bags. . you know, it looks like man-made. I know that some folks here said that its just a photo etc. I mean, it looks crazy, its terrible. And I really believe that they really wear that stuff in the film. If that is true, damn. . Im dead already and I need a doctor propably. Because it seems that we have two -Hellboy- Predators.
It may very well have just been a poor choice of words, or a thought expressed at the wrong time. Regardless, I can see where he's coming from, to a point. If you were going to see a movie that was rather groundbreaking and exciting like the original Predator or Alien, it would indeed add more to the "wow factor" not knowing exactly what you're going to be seeing. The problem nowadays is that for every Fury Road or Blade Runner you get 15 movies like Iron Man 3 or Dawn of Justice.
I don't need to be surprised by a movie. I've seen Jaws probably 30 times and it's still highly entertaining. A good movie can still manage to entertain you, even when you know what's coming. Still, we've seen predators wearing clothes and riding on APC's. So I'll keep up hopes for this movie, but I'll be reading the full plot summary and catch as much footage as I can before I make a decision. Quality is subjective, I want to see what they're selling first.
Nevertheless, I wish Mr. Black and crew the best of luck, and I'm grateful to Fox for green-lighting another predator movie. May we never see the day when the A&P universe goes extinct.

Probably. I doubt Shane Black is literally hoping people don't watch the trailer to his new movie in the same breath he's promoting its release. He has shown no signs of being disgruntled.
I'd rather it be extinct on film than see a predator in fatigues. But I guess I'll be highly disappointed for the 4th time since predator 2
PredatordiedwithKevin why? Bad movies not going to cancel two original movies(1987, 1990), they are still going to be great right?
They should make a movie for Carnage too and make it rated r while they're at it. I can see Carnage as a serious horror film like Halloween or The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
The majority of ticket buyers for The Last Gedi was approximately 34 and male. Those are the same people that grew up with Carnage and they've been waiting for a movie like this for a long time. The potential to be a hit is HUGE.

Predator Spirit has returned?
Yes but if we stand for mediocre forgettable films , that's what we will keep getting , there has to be a point when we say enough ! I see no reason why fans can't express their frustrations . At the end of day if you really cared about predator , and I mean really cared about the character , you would care about the quality of production he is being given . Certain site members seem hellbent on defending the indefensible with this film ( I don't know why considering how cliched the script is , and wtf predators in human clothes, oh dear! And the list of wtf moments is quite high 😕) Why can't they understand why some of us , are not liking the direction predator is heading in ?
ELDERCLANLEADER hello my friend!
"here has to be a point when we say enough ! I see no reason why fans can't express their frustrations . At the end of day if you really cared about predator , and I mean really cared about the character , you would care about the quality of production he is being given ." If I am not agree with you, it doesn't mean I don't care about the character, or you are bigger fan than I am, , that doesn't work like that. ( I watched predator from 3 years old, I almost watch it once in month and two month, right now I am 27 years old, I drew predator whole my childhood, and right now I am working as a 2D and 3D artist in entertainment industry, I can say that Predator is one of my biggest inspirations)
"Certain site members seem hellbent on defending the indefensible with this film ( I don't know why considering how cliched the script is , and wtf predators in human clothes, oh dear! And the list of wtf moments is quite high 😕) Why can't they understand why some of us , are not liking the direction predator is heading in ?"
Now if I am not hating this movie right now, it doesnt mean I don't care about the character. I never said it's going to be suscess, I just saing that we can wait and see. It's other people who 90 % sure it's going to fale, and this is the reason I am commenting. I am not going to protect the movie if it's going to suck, you do have a reasons to worry, and I worry too, but the difference is that I am not writing every comment about how this movie going to fale and how 20 century fox are terrible guys. Yehh I see that we have questionable moments in the script and production, but maybe we will get lucky and "fall"(from Predator 2 :) ) and get actually a good movie(Just maybe).
"The point I'm making , is when you pay attention from the very beginning, you can see the cracks when a film is in trouble . If I'm wrong I'll hold my hands up , but I'm 90% accurate on predicting a films success . And I think the predator is going to be a complete failure , unless fox start pushing it hard now . "
The thing is you are pretty confident in your thoughts and conclusions, I am open to interpretations and different possibilities. Maybe you are right about 20 century fox and the whole production of the movie, but I don't make this type of strong assumptions. Just because you never know. (And I do like to read about movies production, so I am not somebody who doesn't have no idead about movie making) ;)
And the final thing, I am a huge fan of Predator(not trying to brag or anything) and for me as long as studio going to make movies about Predator, we still going to have a chance of having another good movie about Predator. ;D
Wait for the trailer to come out, and you'll see people saying it sucks etc... Some others will say it's great etc... You can't please everyone anyway...
Azamultic firstly I wasn't talking about you , I was talking about a few other members , secondly I never said " if you are a fan " I said if you cared about the predator character, you would care about the quality of production he is being given " They both go hand in hand , and I think there's more than enough evidence to confidently say the quality is questionable.
so stop mixing up what I'm saying bro , I know what I'm saying , it's me that said it .
What I'm trying to highlight is ultimately it's up to the fan base to get a decent movie out of a studio , and it really is , they take us for granted and you can't even see it , look at disneys obsessions with the Star Wars fan base , they want to please ! The same cannot be said for 20th century fox . we have a right to talk about it .
if we just have a defeatist attitude , they are always going to give us half baked films . There has to be a point when the fan base really lets fox know hard how much we dislike what they are doing to this beloved franchise.
Leave this page and go on social media and YouTube etc , you can see how people are really feeling about predator wearing human clothes and driving APCs .
I'm just speaking the truth .
What previous post ? Disney haven't got it totally right on Star Wars sure , but at least they try and I can guarantee that even a weak Disney film , has better production quality than what fox puts out . There's only one franchise I can think of that fox put some heart into as of late and that was the new planet of the apes trilogy .
ELDERCLANLEADER hely my friend
"I said if you cared about the predator character, you would care about the quality of production he is being given "
what I am saying is that you can have different attitude and look on the situation.
"What I'm trying to highlight is ultimately it's up to the fan base to get a decent movie out of a studio , and it really is , they take us for granted and you can't even see it"
kind of true and not true. so I wouldn't argue that, but also not agree with that.
"Leave this page and go on social media and YouTube etc , you can see how people are really feeling about predator wearing human clothes and driving APCs ."
I know sir, I am not a fan of it neither, but what I am trying to say lets wait and see, than be negative about a lot of stuff.
"so stop mixing up what I'm saying bro , I know what I'm saying , it's me that said it . " Please sir, I am not trying to fight you and I am using your test as a mean of communication and debating about the points, this sentence does sound passive agressive, or if not please can you use smile faces, because it's hard for me to get your tone of conversation (like this ) ;) or if you are trying to be passive agressive with me I don't have no desire to have a conversation.
You can totally have a few scenes that you dislike in a movie, and end up liking the movie overall. A good example for me is the final fight with Harrigan and the city hunter in predator 2. I'm not a fan of it, but overall i love the movie.
Preds in pants is not a concept i'm fond of, but there is plenty of room for other cool stuff in this movie in order to be enjoyable. I get that the idea of preds in pants is worst than a hand to hand combat between a predator and a L.A cop, but still, if the movie has more to offer than that, it could still be good overall.
Azamultic I'm not being passive aggressive, I'm saying I never said "if you were a fan " i don't like it when people rewrite what iv said and put words in my mouth that I haven't said .
It isn't what I said so it becomes your opinion not mine . That does not mean I'm being passive aggressive. Cmon bro , I might like predator a bit too much but it's not enough to fall out with people over .
I understand my writing style is direct and to the point . It's the only way I know how to write! 😂
Big daddy john .. its way deeper than predators in human clothes , if the rumour on how it ends and why they come here proves to be true , I call
Straight up bs on this one .

Avengers Infinity War had its first trailer on Nov. 29 with a release date of April 27. That's 4 months, 30 days between.

I did some more digging into even more recent hits and found The Predator's trailer really isn't late at all.
Guardians of the Galaxy 2 was released 5 months, 3 days after its first trailer.
Logan was released 4 months, 10 days after its first trailer
Get Out was released 4 months, 22 days after its first trailer
It was released 5 months, 11 days after its first trailer.
Baby Driver was released 3 months, 18 days after its first trailer.
Jumanji was released 5 months, 22 days after its first trailer.
Furious 7 was released 5 months, 3 days after its first trailer.
I think we get the point. The trailer isn't being hidden and the marketing schedule is in line with most everything else. I don't share the concern or speculation that Fox is sweeping this under the rug. Chances are we will see a heavy push in San Diego when the comic convention hits in the late summer to.
Stealth hunter I would usually agree with you , but when everything is combined that has come out in the last year and half it doesn't look good . Sure I accept the trailer is dropping on time . I was wrong about that , so I'm glad you have corrected me .
I sincerely hope big daddy john is right and they have toned the elements that sound god awful down .
Of course that in itself could be a problem because the new shots might appear jarring and rushed .
Not long now anyway , the moment of truth is not far away , and we will be talking about it for years to come .
Speaking about Predators in human clothes. . I was thinking all the time that its just a bad, early photo where we see an actor in half of the Predator costume between shots or something, but it really seems that even smaller parts on them, such as wires etc. are all man-made. I am 100% convinced that its legit. I dont even want to think about the reason of why they have it, its a tragedy for me. . Predator in pants! Who can create such a parody. They would be like human CIA pets. But, to the point. . I want to say here, that I just honestly cant understand how anyone can seriously accept this ugly, horrible idea (Predator in pants, human clothes) Jesus! Maybe that I will survive the whole idea of Predators riding on top of the armored vehicle. . ok. But I will never understand why the director needed a Predators equiped with a human parts in his story, guys. . even if the movie will be seriously good enough, this will always remain as a biggest BS.
What? All the DNA stuff seems to be tuned down from the test screenings? Is there any confirmation about this? Who find this info?

You do know that they also use human weapons in the script ?
Preds in pants is ridiculous. NO two ways about it.
I keep thinking to the toy line mentioned a while back which had one of the Preds listed as "Emissary Predator" and, while I think that's going to be the Upgrade - I can't help but dread that 'emissary' might be used in the more diplomatic sense; and that there's going to be some 'happy-go-lucky' relationship between Preds & Humans where they co-habit and we allow Preds to hunt on earth in exchange for advanced weaponry/tech etc.
Then there'll be a tenuous link to how/why Royce et al. were 'abducted' in Predators.
That's a concern I have. But, ATM, I just want a trailer.
That's why I'm hanging on the hope the leaked pictures are a joke. I can sleep at night that way!!!

Well, that's what emissary means... And they are two listed under this name in IMDB's casting list... So no it isn't the upgrade.
Yeah I knew that , Again it's bs , I don't want friendly predators in human clothes shooting human weapons . I don't want genetic mutated predators either , I was never fond of the super predators but I could live with it , but this mutated nonsense completely kills it for me . It's just cringy to say the least ....
Every film seems to try to make them more and more human, and they seem to be weaker and weaker by the film , It's this element I want to see get dropped . It simply doesn't work and will kill the franchise if they keep trying to do it .
Is it really that difficult to make a decently made predator film , that the fans would enjoy without damaging the established mythology? I understand they have to keep things fresh , but there is plenty of source material in the comics they could bring to the big screen . Why it needs to be this over the top is beyond me .

So are we to assume that the emissary preds are sent to recover the pred who allowed himself to be captured?
Or are we going to end up with Teenage Mutant Ninja Yautja where hey've been here all along.
I'm confused now. Do you have a copy of the script?
Spoiler
The two emissary preds are sent to earth to negotiate with humans in order to get rid of a group of preds who the upgrade belong too. These upgrades are highly mutated with many different DNA (not only human) and want to "invade" earth by force because the predator planet is dying due to global cooling. That is why part of their DNA splicing is from humans, to better adapt to earth long-term.
The normal preds are against their methods and want to take shelter on earth but not by force, thus ending in conflict with the upgrades. The captured pred is fleeing the upgrade who chases him through space and on earth afterwards, for the same reasons.
Voilà !

One element of the script I do like however is the predator home world dying , it might mean we get a proper look at their home world . Iv always wished they would make a film set on the predators planet , and while it's not exactly what I had in mind , seeing their planet on film , in theory should be pretty cool .

Fantastic that the gene-splicing has been toned down. And thanks for clearing that up. Still not sold on the plot but this looks like it could be a hish/yautja thing? Or just another Predators effort. Hope fully not the latter.

Stealth hunter , yeah sorry I mean marketing began last year , infinity war was already starting the hype train before civil war even came out , and the venom teaser trailer was only a disappointment to some because it didn't feature venom .
Predator isn't Avengers, though. Really, this timeframe isn't anything to worry about. It just seems so worse since the film was announced so long ago and had several filming dates pushed back so it really seems longer for us who have been tracking it. Marketing seems on track so far.
QuoteAnd I'm sticking to my guns so to speak , fox is not confident about this film , the signs are everywhere, I'm seeing a repeat of 2010s predators again. If you paid attention back then , the pattern is clearly in repeat .
Again, I have to disagree with you. Predators was made on the cheap and incredibly quickly. That really doesn't seem to be the case with The Predator. It's just too early to start marketing the film - it's that simple. Now that said - there has been a social media presence for Predator since it's initial announcement of the new film. The Facebook and Twitter outlets are very active, they started a new "official fansite" so it's not like Fox are sitting around doing nothing. They're trying to keep the Predator franchise active on social media - it's just not ready to start pushing out marketing for the new film because as has been stated, it's just been too early based on their usual marketing strategies. 4/5 months prior to release. We're entering that period now.

And for what it's worth , if fox didn't want the backlash from fans , maybe they should be a little more sensible and less careless when it comes to leaking the entire script etc , and before you say " but you chose to read it "
I'm a fan , of course I'm going to read it . That's like putting chocolate under a 2 year olds nose and telling them not to eat it 😂
Respectfully, I disagree again. It's not like Fox wants this stuff out there. It's individuals doing this.

It may very well have just been a poor choice of words, or a thought expressed at the wrong time. Regardless, I can see where he's coming from, to a point. If you were going to see a movie that was rather groundbreaking and exciting like the original Predator or Alien, it would indeed add more to the "wow factor" not knowing exactly what you're going to be seeing. The problem nowadays is that for every Fury Road or Blade Runner you get 15 movies like Iron Man 3 or Dawn of Justice.
I don't need to be surprised by a movie. I've seen Jaws probably 30 times and it's still highly entertaining. A good movie can still manage to entertain you, even when you know what's coming. Still, we've seen predators wearing clothes and riding on APC's. So I'll keep up hopes for this movie, but I'll be reading the full plot summary and catch as much footage as I can before I make a decision. Quality is subjective, I want to see what they're selling first.
Nevertheless, I wish Mr. Black and crew the best of luck, and I'm grateful to Fox for green-lighting another predator movie. May we never see the day when the A&P universe goes extinct.
It's not a bad sentiment for a film maker to not want his audience to know everything about the film going in. And it's not like he's alone in that - people complain about spoilers all the time. Hell, I hate that trailers pretty much give away a lot of the film these days. I went to watch Cabin in the Woods without knowing what it was about. Absolutely blew me away.
Now I realize given what we do here on the website that seems somewhat hypocritical but sometimes I do wish I could be less spoiled.

Wait for the trailer to come out, and you'll see people saying it sucks etc... Some others will say it's great etc... You can't please everyone anyway...
Too true. It's pretty typical of all fandoms. Unfortunately a lot of people also make up their minds well in advanced instead.

Yeah I knew that , Again it's bs , I don't want friendly predators in human clothes shooting human weapons . I don't want genetic mutated predators either , I was never fond of the super predators but I could live with it , but this mutated nonsense completely kills it for me . It's just cringy to say the least ....
I'm not keen on the pants idea but it's not something that will ruin the film for me. Personally, I love the idea of the Predators using our weaponry though. I love it in Big Game and I love it in Peter Briggs' AvP script. That works perfectly fine for me.
Corporal Hicks - How can you said that Predator in pants will not ruin the film for you? Okey its just your opinion. . but after all, you must have a really strange taste man. This is propably next to the leaked script a second thing that people are complain about, they are extratrrestial beings. . they dont need clothes in order to warm their frozen legs, they dont need any extra space for additional pencils or bullets in their pockets. Man, anyone who is okey with the whole (Predators in pants idea) just killing my last hope here.
Because it's just one thing. There are 3 different (I think) Predator designs in this film. The fact that one of those designs - intended for Predators who have apparently been on Earth for a while - includes some human clothes isn't going to absolutely ruin a film for me if I enjoy more aspects of it.
But I don't know that yet. I need to watch the film first.
Corporal Hicks , do you not think regarding predators wearing our clothes and shooting our weapons , fox are trying to humanise them too much .
Look I'm not being funny , there are 7 billion people on this planet , do we really need to start making them like us ? Where's the originality? They are aliens and it should be kept that way . It's just laziness and sloppy script writing in my opinion.
Just because it worked in print doesn't mean it will on the big screen , anything can work in a comic that's why comic books are so successful, that doesn't mean the big screen will work , look at friendly little scar from avp i almost could reach out and hug him , I don't want super hero predators Its not good !!!
Another area I have to disagree with you hicks on is predators , back in 2009/2010 the whole script was leaked , photos of the predators was leaked , it was marketed as a revival land it was a complete failure, and I'm sorry but those same things have happened again , and of course it's up to fox to keep a lid on leaks . I'm not going to be an apologist for their sloppiness. And lastly why are predators seemingly becoming weaker and weaker by the film ?

I don't think it humanizes them. I think within the context of what we know of the story - that those particular Predators are here, working with some of us to hunt down the Upgrade - that it makes some sense. Do the shoulder cannons have finite energy? Are they able to recharge them from our power sources? It'd make sense they'd supplement their own limited resources with something available locally to them.
Perhaps these particular Predators actually like the weaponry? It shows character. Would you be complaining if they were using some sword or something that they'd taken from someone?
Like I said, the pants are a strange design choice and not one I'm keen on but applying the same logic - the Predators might get cold. Their own loin cloths might have been damaged in previous battle and the Predator bosses aren't willing to fork out on FTL costs just to send a couple of agents some new underwear. It's not inconceivable for reasons for why.

That's execution, though. There's more to the team-up in AvP. Less to the simple notion that a Predator uses a gun. Lex didn't deserve the team-up in AvP. For me, it didn't work in AvP purely because she didn't deserve it. What she did shouldn't have earned her Scar's respect but on paper the concept of a team-up is fine by me.
Again, we don't know how it's going to be executed. That the Original Predator's conceive the Upgrade a big enough threat to want to work with us isn't a bad idea. It'll just depend on execution.

It did leak. Which, again, led to people have the completely wrong ideas about the finished film. The Predators in Predators weren't the Super Predators. Pictures may have leaked but that was, again, the action of individuals. Are you suggesting that Fox should have all their phones confiscated? The computer usage of everyone who works on those films monitored? Those people are under contract and I would imagine they'd be very much punished if discovered, what they do they do of their own will. Fox have things in place to dissuade that behaviour.
Predators was intended to the test the water and it did fail. Doesn't equate to The Predator though. The Predator isn't (apparently) being made on the cheap. It isn't being rushed out. Yeah, they may want the same result from both but different efforts are being put into it.
Hicks the leaked 2010s predators scripts proved to be 90% accurate . The photos proved to be true and I don't get what you mean by they were not super predators ? I seen the leaked photos I remember them , they were same predators that appeared on film . And yes I think you are making accuses for fox when it comes to leaks , they work for fox so it's still fox's problem and fault . No other studio has so consistently leaked the way fox studios seems too when it comes to predator . Is it just pure coincidence then that both films had a early leaked script and photos of the creatures ? I think not somehow . It's just a simple fact .

Can you point me to the bit in Predators where they show the new Predators having black blood and all the genetic harvesting stuff? The Predators in that finished film weren't the Super Predators from that script. As far as the finished film portrayed, they were just another race or ethnicity of Predators, same as all the other Predators in all the other films.
Personally, I wish they'd have reduced the number of Berserker Predators to just the one. Had that single new Predator get blown up with a claymore and survived the fight with Hanzo.

So you do think Fox should be constantly monitoring their employees activities to prevent this? Or are you suggesting that this is a strategy on Fox's behalf to "leak" the script and pictures? I'm not sure what point you're wanting to make with this?
Petr Švancara hello sir
"Corporal Hicks - How can you said that Predator in pants will not ruin the film for you? Okey its just your opinion. . but after all, you must have a really strange taste man. Man, anyone who is okey with the whole (Predators in pants idea) just killing my last hope here. "
I think you are being close-minded(no offense). I am personaly not a fan of the way it looks, but what Hicks said, it depends from the execution. And I am not saying that it's totally kiling this movie for me. So how are we killing your hope my friend? :)
Hicks that's why I said it proved to be 90% accurate, and yes I'm very much suggesting that fox deliberately leak scripts , sort of a drip drop style of marketing, I don't know why they do it however . And maybe no phones allowed and computers monitored is the answer ,
You can't deny the similarities going on here .
The same rhetoric of being completely fresh and a revival was used back then as it is now ...
And who are fox exactly if individuals don't make fox what is is ?
I was deliberately being extreme with my examples. No, that really isn't the answer and would be impossible to enforce. The US Government gets in bother over that kind for thing with the reason being national security. There's no way in hell that would ever be allowed or considered reasonable over just films.
I just can't disagree with you here. Fox aren't deliberately leaking the scripts. Regardless of both Predators and The Predator scripts leaking, rhe scripts aren't representative of the final production and often results more damage than good. And it's not something that is exclusive to Predator either.
Hicks you are missing my point pal , so I'll say it again , " who are fox studios if it isn't made up by individuals ? " I said fox have been sloppy with leaks and I'll stand by that . They have been , and will continue to be , way more so than any other studio . And when black said "wouldn't it be good going in not knowing anything " I get the feeling it was an inside dig at fox for being so careless with
his product .
I really missed it if that was your point. Apologies. But one individual does not necessarily make up a group. It's not like the CEO is handing out scripts. I just think that mentality is a little unfair. Fox have things in place to prevent leaks - as do all companies - they're just not infalliable.
It's certainly possible Black may have been making a dig. It's also just as likely a dig at marketing strategies or fandom mentality of wanting it all now. :laugh:
Here's an example , when you work for a company you represent that company contracted or not , my example would be Manchester United .. bear with me ;)
Let's say a few of the players gets found out to be cheating , is it the individuals cheating or has the Manchester United team cheated ? They represent the team so it would be played out like the team has cheated , even though it was the actions of a few players . But they represent a brand and the brand has to take the fall and rightly so .
That's why I feel the way I do when it comes to fox .
There's still a difference. The players, manager and owner are the faces of the team. They do represent. Some nameless guy or girl somewhere sending a script to a website doesn't represent Fox. If it was Stacey Snider then perhaps I'd agree with but no, I still consider it unfair.
An extreme example sure , but it gets my point across .
Highly doubt they are just nobody's who are doing the leaking .

Spoiler
The two emissary preds are sent to earth to negotiate with humans in order to get rid of a group of preds who the upgrade belong too. These upgrades are highly mutated with many different DNA (not only human) and want to "invade" earth by force because the predator planet is dying due to global cooling. That is why part of their DNA splicing is from humans, to better adapt to earth long-term.
The normal preds are against their methods and want to take shelter on earth but not by force, thus ending in conflict with the upgrades. The captured pred is fleeing the upgrade who chases him through space and on earth afterwards, for the same reasons.
Voilà !
PS : I must add that apparently from the test screening, the whole Spoiler
DNA splicing aspect has been tuned down so, we'll see how it goes.
Spoiler
Fantastic that the gene-splicing has been toned down. And thanks for clearing that up. Still not sold on the plot but this looks like it could be a hish/yautja thing? Or just another Predators effort. Hope fully not the latter.
Quote from: ELDERCLANLEADER on Apr 03, 2018, 02:18:09 AM
Haha 😂 I just hope it's not too cringy .. but yeah it's not going to be winning any awards any time soon .
One element of the script I do like however is the predator home world dying , it might mean we get a proper look at their home world . Iv always wished they would make a film set on the predators planet , and while it's not exactly what I had in mind , seeing their planet on film , in theory should be pretty cool .
Literally, thanks to global cooling.
I would like to add that the two emissaries aren't the main preds at all in the script. The captured one is. The upgrade is the second one. Or maybe they're equally present. But the captured one is badass and agressive, has a fair amount of kills, and is not "friendly" to anyone.
The upgrade is badass too, but is a f**king psycopath lol.

I dig your possible interpretation on why they would wear human clothes and use our weapons. If it is well introduced and played in the movie, it could somehow work i guess.
Saying I'm skeptical is putting it lightly .. but ultimately hicks is right , it's all about execution. All of this might sound terrible on paper , but the final product might be great .. I usually go with my gut instinct however , and I think we have a three star out of five film on our hands . I expect it to do the same as alien covenant at the box office , so while not a failure it can hardly be called a success either . Only time will tell .. anyone wanna start placing bets now ? 😂
Gotta be with "A Quiet Place" right??
That's already out, isn't it?
"A Quiet Place' opens in the US this upcoming weekend, the 6th. I'm not sure we will see the trailer drop with it though since it's pg13 but maybe?
I'm guessing the trailer drops by itself online on the 10th. I feel like a lot of trailers release on Tuesdays.
I'm not seeing the reason for all the "Preds in pants" hooplah. Sure it's kind of weird seeing them outside of a loincloth, but seriously - they've been on another planet for months/years. It stands to reason that at some point in time they'd change. Earth is probably colder than their home planet too.

My fault, good call. I was thinking next Friday/13.
No, I totally dont agree with this, no. You can say "it depends on execution" numerous times if you want, but some ideas are over the top already, and you dont need to see them on your own eyes just to convince yourself. Btw. we already see their look also with the so called cargo pants, so? Why even think about any execution of this nonsense when we have physical evidence already? I dont understand why there should be any chance to accept this BS. . Predator in every possible "pants" is super silly, really silly concept that should rather never exist. It is the same like see an Alien with jacket or something, just no. . seriously. Or is there someone who can say. . oh, "Alien with jacket could be cool". . give it a chance and lets see how they execute that? Guys, are you serious here? When is something just too weird. . than its just weird, and we dont need to dance around it. I have tons of Predator figures, I dont want a Preds with pants in my collection, I have only Arnold in pants here, lol. . thats enough. If you guys really like the idea of Predators in pants, then you guys should maybe start thinking also about their purpose, because as I said before, they really dont need them, its BS. We have Predators with all their equipment without pants all the time. . and now we get them boots, pants, t-shirts, hats and our weaponry, well. . just because it depends on execution? Im too old for this conversation, this is just too much. Next time expect the Terminator in swim suit. . how sexy, damn. :-X
Petr I agree with some of what you have said there bro , but when I said it's all on execution I wasn't talking about predators in human clothing, and it is silly no two ways about it . But I was talking about the script . And I think hicks is right on that one , execution can make a good idea bad , and a bad idea good . My main problem is how ridiculously over the top everything sounds , and the fact it's choosing to reinvent the mythology, there are elements in this film that I do like, like the predator planet dying etc, but a lot of it for me sounds way out of tune for what we have come to expect from a predator film . But still despite all of that , execution is incredibly important, especially considering everything Iv mentioned above .

I agree 100%. This is why leaked unofficial photos are a thorn in the side of the movie industry. Look at the first leaked pics of Bane from TDKR:
http://nerdreactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/tom-hardy-batman-bane-04-550x794.jpg
I can imagine the fandom screaming about how it looks nothing like Bane. "The mask is all wrong! He isn't big enough! No venom tubes! He looks like a reject from Mortal Kombat! Nothing like the comic!" In the film, however, I wanted to see more of him.
A few of the leaked pics of the predators last year? Same thing, it will look fine on film. And honestly, it makes sense considering it's already hard to tell these guys apart when they're running around in combat, so what they wear is important for distinction.
Wysps .. that makes no sense at all pal ,
the predator home planet is dying because of global cooling , and they want to find a warmer climate , why would they then want to come to earth if it's colder ? I'm not following that logic at all. .
Hollywood seems to have really put all his eggs in one basket with this film , any valid criticism , he very quickly dismisses... seems pretty bias from where I'm standing , there are plenty of reasons to be concerned, and I mean plenty .
If you like idea of predator in human clothes running around with human guns , and to go against the established mythology that's cool , but for the majority of us , it's corny and unnecessary. And I believe if these elements are not cut from the final product , it will hurt the franchise as a whole .

True, regardless of the functional aspect for storyline purposes, it could just boil down to this exactly.
And as far as "global cooling" - Earth has drastic variations in temperature depending on continent. They could easily need more bulk depending on where they're at. Seems logical to me...maybe they're looking at one particular part of Earth instead of a whole. Maybe their entire planet has one temperature range (hot, humid) unlike ours. Could also be that they just wanted to change their clothes after rolling around in them for years. :laugh: I'm just throwing stuff out there because I never read the script nor have any desire to. Despite some of the ridiculousness of the original plot, I will give the film it's fair shot. Pants is a non-issue for me...just don't care either way. It'll probably look stupid, but for me there are more important things to worry about.

Thats a valid point. I personally don't see the big deal either since it makes sense in the film.
Black that makes quite a lot of sense to be honest . Sort of feeding into our own dilemmas, I like that .
Wysps yeah I agree bigger things are at stake , than predator in pants , that's not even scratching the surface on why I'm worried about the direction this film has chose .

Thats a good estimate I'd say.
Hollywood I think april 10 is a little bit early since Black said mid april.

Black that makes quite a lot of sense to be honest . Sort of feeding into our own dilemmas, I like that .
Wysps yeah I agree bigger things are at stake , than predator in pants , that's not even scratching the surface on why I'm worried about the direction this film has chose .
The script says so.

"A Quiet Place' opens in the US this upcoming weekend, the 6th. I'm not sure we will see the trailer drop with it though since it's pg13 but maybe?

Yeah you're probably right.
Friday the 13th would be a pretty spot on date for the trailer

No, I totally dont agree with this, no. You can say "it depends on execution" numerous times if you want, but some ideas are over the top already, and you dont need to see them on your own eyes just to convince yourself. Btw. we already see their look also with the so called cargo pants, so? Why even think about any execution of this nonsense when we have physical evidence already? I dont understand why there should be any chance to accept this BS. . Predator in every possible "pants" is super silly, really silly concept that should rather never exist. It is the same like see an Alien with jacket or something, just no. . seriously. Or is there someone who can say. . oh, "Alien with jacket could be cool". . give it a chance and lets see how they execute that? Guys, are you serious here? When is something just too weird. . than its just weird, and we dont need to dance around it. I have tons of Predator figures, I dont want a Preds with pants in my collection, I have only Arnold in pants here, lol. . thats enough. If you guys really like the idea of Predators in pants, then you guys should maybe start thinking also about their purpose, because as I said before, they really dont need them, its BS. We have Predators with all their equipment without pants all the time. . and now we get them boots, pants, t-shirts, hats and our weaponry, well. . just because it depends on execution? Im too old for this conversation, this is just too much. Next time expect the Terminator in swim suit. . how sexy, damn. :-X
Did you saw anyone on here say "i like the fact that they wear pants" ? No.
Big daddy john .... exactly!
Everyone is just afraid to admit that they like it. Nobody wants to be an outcast.
BigDaddyJohn - Some of the people here are somehow okey with it, sure there are more important things that Im much more worried about. But in the reality, Predators with human clothes appeared first on the leaked photos, and I dont know about you guys, but for me that photos are first physical evidence that there is something weird happening with this movie. And when I mean physical evidence, I mean physical proof, because the whole script. . still could be entirely different. On the other hand only these photos show us something straight from the movie. But anyway, its just dumb idea to give them anything in the terms of clothes, people here are saying BS like that their pants are good for distinction etc. I cant believe that someone can say such a thing, no offense against anyone, but sometimes I think that Im walking in between kids or something.
Rotten tomatoes, spoiled meat and some leftover noodles....
So based on "execution", I could make some good spaghetti!

Then perhaps you'd be better off not commenting on here? If you don't like that other people have different opinions or belittle people for it then it's not the kind of attitude I like around here.

Rotten tomatoes, spoiled meat and some leftover noodles = the fact that they wear pants. Ok. Based on this logic, this movie has a lot of other meals to offer, so it can still be alright.

Close...but no.
= THE SCRIPT.
To me the script has other interesting meals honestly, not only rotten tomatoes, spoiled meat and some leftover noodles.
And obviously, the directing, acting etc are also other possible interesting meals ;)

I'm not gonna say I straight up like it but I see the reasoning behind it and don't think its something to react over the top for. Its not like they came straight from their home planet wearing them pants.
They came specifically to pick up some shorts. :P

Meg is gonna have two trailers coming out soon.

Wow. Time flies. I did not realize they wrapped so long ago.
All this talk of predators wearing pants...
I wonder if they have as hard of a time finding pants as we do? ;D
I'm with Corp. on this one though- sure its a bit out there but I can see the possible reasoning's behind it and think, depending on how it is filmed, could make them not look so ridiculous. An xenomorph in clothes would be more ridiculous seeing as they're more animalistic. You can at least see culture/customs amongst the preds from past movies.

The trailers are finished (2 of them). Literally could be days. Assuming they'll want to avoid "The Pred" so they'll get ahead of it with one trailer for sure.

So at this stage, and even by the end of the month will the only official media we've gotten from this movie be a cast photo and a poster?
I really hope he puts more effort into this film than the last Insidious film he is trying to reccomend, that was a steaming pile of shit.

Good to see they have faith in the movie...
That sucks they would only release it to cinemacon goers. How much longer after cinemacon will it be released in theaters? And with what movie? Any guesses?
Ok, this sucks... I was hoping for at least a teaser being released next week.
Not a good sign either.

Whoops indeed. That's not gonna fan any flames of suspicion.
Hahah. Netflix here we come!
To think, I thought there was something I had to look forward to this month. Guess June now?
I think that's very ordinary. Get our hopes up and now we won't see a trailer til may sometime.
What's the harm in showing a trailer that we can watch like a thousand times while we wait for the movie
Fingers crossed for someone recording it.
Oh dear just when the excitement was starting to dawn , we get another blow , there's definitely a pattern of let downs with this film , That's why I think the actual film will be a let down , there's way too much secrecy going on , I suspect he is testing the new footage out but ffs shame black , pull your finger out and give the fans something ! It's not difficult pal , because anticipation, has turned into frustration, but it's now starting to become flat out infuriating . Why can't he just seem to deliver on his word ? Hes taking the word "teaser" to a whole new meaning imo. >:( ::) >:(
This is the one that broke the camels back for me , he essentially just lied to us all , and as a result Iv lost all hope in this film at this point , only the film itself will change that , not even the trailer will .
Is it not possible that maybe they want to get the trailer right, and that's the reason why it's taking a while? That and Fox's next big release is Deadpool 2, which is targeting an audience that's probably similar to The Predator.
In addition: https://twitter.com/JordanMaison/status/981938570419232768
Also, there's a difference between lying and misspeaking, Elder.
I disagree, he knew exactly what he was doing .
Syfy channel by Christmas lol
Also the fact he just said so casually to go and watch insidious the last key in the meantime , is a complete slap in the face to the fans . It's all becoming a very bad joke .
@AD I see your logic my friend , but unfortunately I think fox are delaying any footage of this film on purpose because they are terrified of the backlash the fans will unleash before it's even hit the cinemas . None of this is promising at all , and the more I think about , what good things have actually came out about this film so far ? Zilch .

How the hell is that a slap in the face? His tweet was him apologizing for misspeaking, recommending a film he enjoyed, and that's it.
If I asked Barry Jenkins on Twitter when we could get a trailer for If Beale Street Could Talk, he says soon, and then later he says that he misspoke but recommends a film that he likes, I wouldn't take that as a slap in the face or think that means he's trying to hide the film from the public.
And hell, Black said that it would be in April, and CinemaCon is in April. Just because he didn't add "at CinemaCon" doesn't mean he's trying to mislead us. Come on man....
@ELDERCLANLEADER I understand that you're worried. I was worried at the lack of marketing for Solo: A Star Wars Story pre-teaser release. But I don't think that the wait on a trailer is necessarily a bad thing. Again, he might just want to make a trailer that not only gets us Predator fans excited, but also the general audience.
And I think it's important to remember that Black has a great reputation behind him, not only in writing, but in directing. I do understand why one would be worried, but I do think it's important to have a bit of faith.
@AD .. it's a slap in the face in the sense , the last key was a complete mediocre film , and that's the best he can offer ? The last key got 2-3 stars out of a possible of 5, and that's exactly where I think this film will end up when it's out . How much time does he need AD to work on a simple trailer ? I respect your logic pal but The film was supposed to be out in February, in theory we should already of seen this film , the early screen testings were done last year , so while I respect your opinion I don't agree with it entirely. The fact of the matter is he didn't say soon because that's forgivable , he said mid April , so it wasn't a slip of the tongue , and the fact he said " Wouldn't it be great going in not knowing nothing at all" really has me deeply concerned .
By the way AD I'm not confident about solo one bit either bud ;)
I want to start by saying that I appreciate you being respectful throughout this conversation. You've made your points in a good, reasonable way and I appreciate that.
Now on the topic of The Predator, I don't think there's anything particularly wrong with recommending a film that got bad reviews. I didn't like The Last Key myself, in fact it was one of my least favorite films I've seen this year. But if Black liked it, then nothing's wrong with that. I think all of us like at least one film that got critically trashed. One of Quentin Tarantino's favorite films of 2013 was The Lone Ranger, which bombed critically and financially. Heck, I unironically like Suicide Squad, but I'm also a big fan of art house cinema such as The Killing Of A Sacred Deer and Call Me By Your Name. What I'm trying to say is that recommending badly received films isn't uncommon.
As for his Twitter, well, again, I do think he was referring to the CinemaCon premiere, but it is also possible there could have been a public release planned that got pushed back a bit. I don't think however that he was being malicious with it though. I think the last thing Fox would want is the director of an upcoming tentpole film screwing with said film's fans. And the "knowing nothing at all" comment was likely him saying that going into the film without seeing any footage could make the experience better if one prefers it like that. Shane grew up pre-internet, so back then all they had was word of mouth, the poster, and maybe the trailer if you went to the right film. There's plenty of folks now who don't like seeing any type of footage before seeing a film, so I'm sure he's just saying that there's nothing wrong with seeing it that way.
And finally, it is true that it was supposed to release in February. But given how huge Black Panther (which came out a week after Predator's original date) was and how they started filming less than a year before the planned date, it was probably more of a business decision to delay it than creatively. It's also worth pointing out that The Predator was supposed to come out March 2nd before the February 9th move, so I think that shows Fox was, and likely still is confident in it.
Well then, that was a lot more than I expected to write.
Anyways, thank you again for being reasonable and polite Elder. I may not agree with your views, but I respect them. Hopefully, when the film releases in September, we all like it.
I think, we can all agree now that the movie will be as bad as AvP2 or even worse. They should just sell it to Netflix, because no one will see it in cinemas.
@AD .. this is why I love this site bud , because good people can always change my mind ;)
I think your probably right , i still have my concerns , but your well written and thought out post has somewhat eased them slightly .
I was just a bit emotionally charged up with disappointment and letting off some steam , there's been so many knock backs now.
It will take a lot of doing for it to be worse than avp 2 , I don't think it will be that bad . Well I hope not anyway 😂
Thanks for getting back to me AD :) I can see clearly now the rage has gone !! 🎶 lol 😂
It grosses $35 million.

I had been hoping (expecting) we'd get some preview footage at Cinemacon but not a trailer. Urgh. Even I'm starting to just get a bit fed-up with all the delays in getting something. We've known about the film nearly 3 years now and with all the push-backs it's just getting boring. Feels like it's been forever. I know in the grand scheme of things it hasn't but I'm just getting impatient over here.

Exclusives in this day and age :')
People seem to be under the false impression that Black has control over Marketing, cuts the trailer etc.
He's busy making the actual movie, FOX has control over marketing, if anything, Black was informed by someone who didn't knew better.
Directors don't get asked or have any say when the marketing for their movies start.
And yes, NOW would be the right time to release something, anything, for the general audience to register this damn movie is coming. The MEG also doesn't have a trailer, and that comes in august... everything seems to be a little late this year.
Nice, really nice. Even the guy responsible for the whole film doesnt know exactly when the (little few seconds long micro-teaser) trailer arrives or where we can watch it. This is mega boring, I smell amateurs here and there, because this is really not possible anymore. I think that our patience strugled for a way too long. There are tons of fans and others who are waiting on this for ages. I guess that we can propably stick with the awful script and Predators in pants forever. Perhaps that someone is okey with this behaviour, but I totally hate it. They are acting like there is no Predator movie on the way, ok. . if the film-makers want this, why not? I lost almost all my hopes already, now it cant be worst.
Even if the Shane Black doesnt have total controll over everything, that doesnt mean that he can say anything just for fun. He should rather stay quiet if he really dont know. Dont make any promise if you cant keep it, simple. I really believe that this movie is in trouble, there is just no luck here at all! Problem here, problem there, shocking news here, schocking news there, just no luck.
Could this delay have anything to do with the Disney takeover bid? Fox have already pushed back The New Mutants film (twice now) and The Dark Phoenix. Maybe this is being done with the takeover in mind to allow Disney time to decide which one of there distributors will release the film. That at least would make some sense but then again, who knows. In the end, it doesn't matter as long as it is released and we can make up our own minds if the film is good or not. I still have an open mind and relatively high expectations.

It will be online as soon as it hits theaters. They will reach 2 million+ people all at once with one post worldwide, in terms of marketing, social media is the best thing that happend to studios.
I am amused that it is believed that delaying or not showing a trailer until 4/5 months is a bad thing or that the film has problems when it has nothing to do with it.
Today to make a trailer in a movie that goes well or badly becomes very easy. There is always material to teach and here they do not want even as they did not want with Logan.
New Mutants went bad and it needed 40% of re-recordings and Fox showed a trailer 1 week after finishing the filming and 8 months before the premiere and according to important sources it did focusing on one of terror (which was not going to be that much) see the opinion of the people and that caused the confirmation of the re-recordings. That is to say that a fast trailer was taught because it was wrong! and on the internet, it is thought that trailers are taught only when it goes well.
The Predator has no problem but their fans who do not have patience and demand, require that 5 months and there had to be something when in Logan for example the same thing happened and as many as Avatar. The fox when a cost 200 mill or so if it teaches trailer soon but in general they until the 4/5 months nothing.
There is nothing strange about what happens with The Predator but the delay of a month, the fact of being a beloved brand, the fact that there is no trailer yet, the shooting images that do not like and short programmed re-recordings, causes that it is said that It's bad but that thing about you not The Predator.
i cannot wait!! i hope the trailer blows it out the park.
please be good !
Predator clicking to start.

Not pleased with this like most of us, but hey, at this point, waiting a little more...
Big daddy john my thoughts exactly!
Corporal hicks I apologise , I was just highly p$$$ off, I was talking nonsense my friend ;) Still really disappointed 😔
Also all this predator peek a boo , hide and seek nonsense is starting to get super boring . I think we can all agree on whoevers decision this was , they simply need to get a grip and drop something substantial . Even a better official poster , anything , it's getting really old.
Black said this on March 30:
"Nope! Just busy. Expect a teaser mid-april... how's this — my brother and I used to actually close our eyes when the theater ran trailers. Wouldn't it be cool to go in knowing nothing? :-)"
There is no doubt some big-wigs pulled another switch-a-roo on this thing. There is major hesitation with where this script went and what the final product has become.
Don't forget Black mentioned this as a "detective" movie at the very beginning of this all. There has been some additional "cooks" in the kitchen and it's turning things bad.
I think in time, we'll come to find out the studio clamped down hard on Black and that Black wasn't able to do his thing with this movie.
I was getting hyped to see something this month so it's very frustrating to hear this news. What could be the reason to hold off until after April?
Do they want Avengers hype/spoilers/discussion to die down a little bit before releasing the trailer to the public? That's the one thing I'm getting bored of with movie sites, I've seen Thanos' mug all over the place for the last 5 months.
Whatever the reason, it would've been better to give us something this month I think.
TEASER TRAILER!!. what day?.
At least we have a specific date now and i don't have to go check through some of that hysterical bullshit.
Original predator I think you might be on the money there , something is very fishy . My only faith in this film is predator himself at this point. None of it adds up , and it's very suspicious. But....
Wishful thinking I know but maybe , just maybe they are doing this on purpose, so just when we give up , and think it will be a shambles , the film drops and blows us , critics and everyone in between away . If this was the case it would be a very clever unique marketing strategy on their behalf, however I'm only dreaming and it's highly unlikely at this point.
This has Fox written all over it. Whether that's a good or bad thing remains to be seen. If Black is still hoping for this to be an event movie then the trailer needs to blow everyone away.

I like your effort to be positive thru all this but it's not the case.
I've been hard on Black but I'll give him the benefit of doubt here that Black had something decently original written and it went thru executive/big- wig- hell.
This had the making of a Solo-"hero" film, in which a "hero" was thrust into something they thought was small scale and the trail of evidence led them to find out a gov't conspiracy. The rumor is the script started with a "Mercury Rising" sort of feel and has ended up full blown circus. (I'm hearing Mercury Rising meets Independence Day)
So instead of the slow burn/reveal/lead up to the conspiracy... the big-wigs wanted "more" Candy/Toy-store style stuff (preds in pants-lol).
Well that didn't test so well in pre-screen (ironic) and Black was allowed to go back and scale some things down. Which as I stated in here will change HOW/WHEN they market. Well it did just that. They had a marketing plan....the re-shoots happened and the HOW/WHEN changed.
This thing is now convoluted at best.
I will say that this is a direct result of the day in age we are in. Black had an "original" script. The big wigs took it, dumped it to their R&D and Analytics dept. They crunched numbers applied their magic potions and said that the best bang for the buck would be to do "ABC" and the script changed.
Keep in mind that those departments exist and impact every movie that get's made. They look at what is currently being consumed in the genre ala video games, literature (comic book, novels etc). They are seeing a fan base (Alien/Pred) "consume" these sorts of far-fetched "Toy Store" concepts and are applying it to original scripts.
Honestly Black would've been better off working it thru Netflix, as much as it's joked about here.
Starting to get concerned with this now, TBH.
FWIW, I do think this is a genuine mistake on Shane Black's behalf; but, come on, we should've had something by now.
Also, when the trailer does drop, if it follows the current formula of "Let's reveal the entirety of the plot in 20 seconds or less" I won't be happy.
Would love it to be someone running through the woods, panting like mad. Terror all over there face. Flashes between them running one way, then the other. Then they shriek. Fade to black and end with the classic Pred clicking noise.
The Predator... coming to a cinema near you... soon..... maybe.... F**k you, Fox!
The news that they're converting this to 3D helped ease my worries a little bit. Studios don't usually pay for that if they think they have a turd. That's not to say that it can't be a crapfest, but the studio has some faith in the product. I'm cautiously optimistic and excited for the trailer now.
Original predator as much as it pains me to say it , your explanation is the most logical , something clearly has gone wrong , I said this months ago , that the film was in trouble and I was sort of ridiculed for it , but ever since the leaked photos and script and early screenings , there's been nothing but bad news. Something has to be behind it , and the truth is the script was bad and trouble has followed it ever since . Like the foundations are made out of sand , so how can we expect to build a skyscraper? The script is the foundations of a great movie and it needs to be built out of steel , otherwise it will collapse.
Lol what is that senseless Insidious recommendation? Also, the twitter photo reminds me A LOT of the woods from AvP Requiem, which is not a good thing obviously
I think Fox uses that same forest in damn near everything.
@You are all dumb..... is that you Shane???
:P :P :P
#160 days till The Predator
QuoteThe trees in avpr did the best acting out of everyone in the film
:laugh: This gets my vote for best quote of the thread so far :laugh:
So no trailer, least we won't get it spoiled. Feelings of AVPR surfacing.
The people in front of and behind the camera are way too talented for any hints of AVPR to be surfacing for me. But I sure am frustrated!

My thoughts exactly
Yeah even though I think this film will be a huge disappointment, not a chance will it be as bad as avp2 . Barring wolf , that film and the cast was just laughable ! I don't think anyone can top that film and beat them for the worst predator film ever trophy! 🏆 ;D
Its always possible its not as bad as people think, and they just want to get the trailer done right. Trailer's for movies like these can come off cheesy if not done right. When it comes to the Alien or Predator universe sometimes less is more.
Has anyone who is worried about this movie ever had anything bad happen in life?
It seems like a small thing to worry s much about.
Are you ok ? Can i get you some hot coco and a warm blanket ?
Stop pretending you can predict how a film is going to do at the box office or how good it is going to be.
This is just a nurotic crazy person thread and not helping anything.

I assume they are just referring to the constant negativity amongst fans regarding this movie. I kind of agree in a sense as alot of people have written this off without even seeing a second of footage. But you are exactly right, its a fan page where everyone has a right to voice opinions 👍👍
Ok :'(
People who voice the same negative view over and over and over and have to post about it over the course of years and have the same fear
Are doing nothing but shitting all over the place.. We smell your shit so stop farting all ready .
If the movie proves to be a cheese fest and it lacking in awesomeness then bitch away.
Untill then
Chill please
Guys, I could be wrong, but I think Shane and Co. Are going to release the trailer at the same time as Cinemacon. If not a few days later. I think he is deliberately mis-guiding us like a mischievous badger and we're buying it.. hook line and sinker. I feel as though all of his latest responses are deliberately aimed at the fanboys. He loves to promote twists in his films, why not in his marketing? And with comments such as "Shhhh...He's coming." As in " Chill out" Maybe he is referring to us (ranting fanboys) in hopes to calm us down rather than just a new Predator catch phrase. Predators can see us from a mile away with their ever so clever vision modes...no need to really hear us..So yea there's that. Also Comments like "Whoops!" Are generally received as being fecicous. I truly think he's yanking our chains. 5-6 months out...good timing. Not great....But good. And an IMAX and 3-D release? C'mon fellas. They wouldn't do that if they thought it was going to flop. Or it does, and they did everything to make it a spectacle. So pretty big deal guys. I'm hoping for the best. Camo cargo and all. (Sorry if someone else had this theory in previous posts, didn't really feel like reading them all)
Negative voices ... the only person here who is negative is you , and you seem pretty trollish to me. So what people are voicing their concerns , don't read their comments if it bothers you that much , no one is forcing you to. just because people are afraid this movie is heading for crash course , don't give you the right , to come on the site , shouting orders and being disrespectful. Grow up kiddo.
The camo cargo pant Predators might just be only seen from the waist up...
That being said, I might be as ambivalent on this title as I was on Iron-Man 3.

If you were around in the AVP days, we used to say things like "it can't be as bad as AVP"
But... I agree, the film does have some bigger more talented individuals involved. Not say I think it'll be good, it already doesn't sound like my cup of tea, humour is hard to get right in a comedy, never mind an action horror.
If it's a constant joke fest I tend to switch off.
You all have expressed it is not your cup of tea. Why do you continue to complain and explaine why it is not your cup of tea ? Instead of boring me why not stop writing here ?

How can we write anything when we don't have any footage, pictures or feedback, all I'm going off is the vibe that it's going to be a comedy.
Why don't you sign up instead of being a guest if you're that keen.
I miss predator concrete jungle.. Awesome game with a story i wouldnt mind seeing on the big screen but im holding out on this film it could be good and maybe even bring some actual horror back to the franchise.
Predators was an ok film (i jus fast forward to predator scenes) but had to many lines and references to the original film
Elderklan ... Don't come here then if that's how you feel , simples ! iv said it before I'll say it again none of the members , me myself included are forcing you to read our comments ,often is the case members don't agree , sometimes it flairs up , but we are all adults and we resolve them , we certainly don't go about ordering each other about what to write like you , if you don't like that people are expressing their opinions , go elsewhere. Everyone's opinions are just as valid as yours . I'm with highland on this one , if you cared that much you would be a member of the community. So stop trolling us , and do one ! I'm sure hicks would agree with me here ;)
Indeed, I do. These are supposed to be adult franchises so I assume we're mostly adults. Let's behave like it. We may not all agree - I certainly don't agree with the overwhelming negativity - but as long as we express our opinions like the grown-ups we're supposed to be, then we have no problems here. If you can't do so - or don't like to see other opinions that your own expressed - then perhaps avoid fandoms.
Exactly ! This is a fandom page , if he feels we are a bad bunch , he should go and check out some Star Wars fandom pages for comparison lol 😂
Well said.. Should just be a laugh on here.. We all fans so lets get along have a laugh! Just being on here makes me wana go sit in ma pants with a dominos n watch alien 2 😂 sunday favourite
Highland I agree with you 1000%. How can we be so judgemental on something we haven't even seen yet. Sure, I have my reservations just like everyone else on here but let's have a little faith that Shane Black can pull it off. To be honest I like being in the dark about this movie. Too often are films spoiled by trailers that show the whole movie.
Ahh... Guests and their often beautiful constructive comments :laugh:
Lol 😂, Going back to The Predator , I really hope the whole predator home world dying is incorporated into the film properly, and isn't a sort of flash scene that's gimmicky . Because this part of the story has me really excited. I remember Shane saying he wanted to bring the same feelings of wonder that close encounters of a third kind had. I really hope he nails those vibes, and not the vibes of a generic alien invasion film like Independence Day etc .
Gonna be exciting you no when its in cinema the next day xD wont be able to sleep
Dying homeworld? Missed that one. To me, focussing too much on the background of the predator kind of kills the fun of it. For all we knew we could have seen just the females hunting.
AvP on itself was a decent attempt to get it afloat although I really don't agree with the concept in the film, it actually was quite entertaining and decently paced.
AvP-R however touched the forbidden stone by showing the homeworld, something better left to imagination IMO and the only good thing about that film are about two scenes with Wolf.
Skull splitter, totally get you with avp r , but it was gimmicky which is why I said I hope it isn't in the new one , if it's done right it could be really cool. ;D
And I have to disagree with avp , if anything it severely damaged both characters, sure fox make a bunch out of merchandise, but the film set a certain quality , and it hasn't really changed from there . The concept is cool , but it should be left in the comics , it's too Hollywood Freddy vs Jason for me . I love predator and I like alien , but I'm not massive on them together .
Oh I agree, it reduced both creatures. And while I disagree with much of the film, it was a well paced and written film. If the original Alien and Predators weren't there, it'd be a great film.
Didn't you win a set visit to the first AvP?
The first trailer will be shown on the 26th at cinemacon.
Fox panel starts 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM.
I have a feeling it'll be attached to Deadpool 2 since it's been pushed back this far
I never quite understood why the alien design was never the same after aliens... Like they all looked the same as the alien resurrection ones after that film even in avp apart from a few details.
Would love to see HR giger designs come back for future avp films or another alien movie
If it comes with Deadpool 2 we still got more than a month to wait then... f**k...
Win a set visit? I'd wish :v
Nope.
I thought the idea for AVP was sound and the script was decent. He just didn't get the tone right, or the editing. I think having it on Earth cheapened it slightly. It's really not hard to pretend you're on an Alien Planet on film - See Predators.
They should have just straight up made the comic, which he kinda did, but badly.
I actually enjoyed the story of AVP as well, always loved the temples and Predators coming every 100years to hunt. Now if they should have used that compared to all the other options they could've used is another argument...
The film's execution definitely flopped though, damn shame
Really disliked that idea and still do. It tries to explain too much about a creature we know little about and in that aspect never leaves fan fiction hell as I like to call thise kind of pipe dreams.
I can appreciate it for what it is, blunt and simple entertainment.
Meg trailers out, ....don't look too bad.

I have to admit I sort of enjoyed the first AVP too, but when all things considered, I wish the movie was never made now . When we think about all the films that have come out since , avp2 , predators , Prometheus and alien Covenant . Sure some were better than others but for me they all suffered a lack of quality in execution , and I'm convinced the original AVP kick started that trend . For me AVPs biggest mistake was dumbing down the creatures and and targeting a teenage audience . Alien and Predator is supposed to be violent and graphic , i feel that watering them down had a really damaging impact on both characters and we are still feeling that impact today . I could be wrong, but it's just the way it looks to me .

No i don't think you're wrong at all... It could be viewed as a guilty pleasure though ;D
Definitely a guilty pleasure big daddy john ! ;D One Disney is likely to indulge in , in the future, with their whole cinematic universes , I could definitely see a revival in AVP one day by them , for better or for worst, it's likely to come .
I think a good AVP film should resemble a James Cameron aliens film , where the marines of being hunted by the aliens , then a badass predator shows up mid way through the film just when they think it couldn't get any worst , but it needs to be set in space preferably on LV-426 or LV-223. I think the setting on earth should be reserved for predator only.
Ah, the everlasting love for the marines... another thing that dooms it to fan fiction hell. The Briggs script was a pretty good adaption of the comic IMO, and I would love to see something similar but not exactly the same.
Skull spitter , why are the marines doomed to fan fiction hell ? Predator only attacks armed prey , the marines seem to be pretty good cannon fodder for that . That doesn't mean they all receive a cheap on screen death with no character development. To be fair it's unlikely we will see this vision anyway, but if Disney do go ahead with AVP , I hope it's more adult orientated , and not dumbed down
. One predator character from the comics I'd love to see brought to life is ahab. He's absolutely brilliant. Well written with a great vision that deserves more imo.

That's because the concept only works in the comic-book/video game form. It's fun to pretend, and imagine such but it's not something that you can capture in a serious manner on film. The overall concept is disruptive to the fact that a movie needs to suspend your belief for the allotted movie time. There has to be some "connection" to characters or situation or setting, etc....along with other basic film concepts, villain, antagonists, hero, etc. All "basics" a film needs to have as merely a starting point, are lost.
It's a concept that's fun to think about, read about in comics, play with-with toys and video games, but it's not going to bear much fruit on the big screen.
Pred 2 was great in that it "hinted" at it, let the imagination come up with the rest.
I will agree it was "fun" to see play out, AVP wasn't "horrible" (AVP2-even helped show it wasn't that bad, lol). But it's not something I would ever wish for again. But if the fanbase keeps consuming the material outside of film, who knows AVP-3 could be around the corner. Yikes!
Original predator I whole heartedly agree ! I don't want another avpg movie either , but if they were going to do one , it needs to be in space for me .

Agreed - I like the AVP's for what they're worth (basically skipping to the fight scenes), but the dumbing down of the xeno's and de-mystifying the predators in a lame way made the films unsalvageable. I also tend to believe it led to a cascade of events with the later alien films, especially in terms of quality...

THIS, all the way. Couldn't have put it better myself. I admire them for trying, but to make it actually work would be near impossible without some major work on the separate franchises themselves before combining them.
Elderclanleader: did you see Doom, the film? It's basically what will happen in 99% of the cases what most fans here ans elsewhere seem to want. Sometimes it gives me the impression they got the wrong message from Aliens and still focus on macho military based stories.
The comic worked because it focussed on people, regardles of their jobs.
Yes but predator is macho military, and always has been , that's why I think in a avp setting , the marines are a good choice . However I do agree that human character development is important.
Bottom line though is all this is irrelevant, I never want to see another avp , I was just throwing out ideas if was ever going to happen , and in all honesty I think it's likely, now Disney have taken over , because it's more "children friendly" so will be easier to market for them . But I really hope they don't , and focus on them being separate franchises.

Who the hell is Hudson? Also we sent Jim Hopper on some R&R after he made it out of the jungle. Poor SOB had his entire team massacred by some intergalactic space gangsta. Now he's hunting babes on some beach in the Pacific.
Last I've heard Jim Hopper ended up saving some kid from interdimensional beings...

Deadpool for cinematic wide release, probably yes. But they can upload it for the cinecon even starts and only make it go public right after. It's sort of damage control, manage the release to avoid confusion.
That being said, it's what I expect, not what will play out.

We have a specific date when the trailer will first be revealed, yet, people still asking on a daily basis "is it here yet? Why not?"
Because we don't have the 26th of April 2018, that's why.

the trailer will be released on April 26th?
No, that's when they'll be some preview footage shown at Cinemacon. We're not sure 100% what it's going to be yet.
I hope to be a description of the trailer
I imagine we'll be getting descriptions of whatever footage is released.
I think people will share their opinion about the trailer on CinemaCon
hopefully someone can record it from cinemacon
I'm sure someone will
I hope no one records it :P bootleg trailers start out okay but then the maniac recording it eats their phone halfway through and I can't understand what the hell is going on :laugh:

I expect it to be out on the 26th since else they will just have bootlegs.
I dunno how likely people at Cinemacon are to bootleg a trailer... Maybe if it was for a bigger franchise...
We may get a description at least, I expect the trailer to hit theatres with Deadpool 2 and be online either the same day or the following Monday of that release
I think you're right about the chances of a bootleg being recorded. If it does, though, I hope fox just releases it instead of trying to delete it everywhere.

that's what happend with suicide squad movie ( they released a teaser at comic con) but it got recorded and the studio said f**k it and released it to everyone online.
I remember when that happened. the trailer was officially released like 2 days after it leaked. People went mad for that bootleg.
A description is all I need to be happy when cinemacon gets here....but the trailer better quickly follow! ;)
What would be the point in Fox trying to delete a bootleg trailer from a movie that is due for release in 5 months?... The movie needs as much marketing as possible at this point.

Yeah they'd be smarter to just drop it officially if that were the case. Personally, I think we will get the trailer officially before Deadpool 2 is in theaters but that's just a guess.
in early may, waiting for the trailer
there should be news next week
It's sort of like being a kid and waiting on that must have toy on Christmas Eve , imagining what it will be like when you open your present lol 😂
Despite my expectations, I have to admit I'm starting to get a little excited for next week. I just hope they don't spoil the film and show everything in the trailer , if there is no sign of predator , I will take that as a very positive sign indeed.
I want to go in , not knowing what the predators will look like, anyone else feel the same way ?

playing devils advocate what if they want to wait until after avengers infinity War comes out and has a couple of weeks to die down in hype..? would that be smart or stupid considering the amount of time marketing would have?
*I mean more than a few weeks after*
Count me in the "later" rather than "sooner" group. We've still got a ways to go before the movie comes out. I'm gonna play it safe and say June before a mass available trailer is released. I'd be plenty happy to be wrong, but there's already been delays and now the big reshoot. How much faith they have in this film's ability to earn big at this point I don't know. But I wonder if that will effect the aggressiveness behind the marketing. They need to get after it though, there's still a lot of big movies coming out. Infinity War, Jurassic World 2, and now there's Meg.

I can see them releasing the trailer later when you put it that way. My hangup about them waiting until June is it might miss an opportunity too good to pass up with Deadpool coming in May, though. Lots of people will see Deadpool despite 'Infinity War being almost right before it. If they wait until later hopefully they do an all out marketing blitz.

They probably will. The thing is, I don't personally know anyone who goes and sees more than 1 or 2 movies in theaters per year. I myself only see one a year, and last year I didn't go at all. Granted, the general public probably isn't following the production of this movie, but there are a lot of big pg-13 and kid films coming out that they do know about, and people are making plans. I've got a cousin who says he's only going to see the Incredibles sequel, and that's it for the year. If they're going to market this movie, they need to get the ball rolling. Gracious, Venom comes out just 2 or 3 weeks after it. And we've already seen a teaser for that.

That's a statistic I'd be curious to find out. In my head I assume casual moviegoers see between 6 to 9 movies a year but I'm basing that off me seeing about 12 lol so i have no idea.

Holy Moses, they should be giving you stock options. :D It's probably just the area I live in. Don't get me wrong, I love the cinema, but I'm a "wait til it's out on Blu-ray" sort of guy. In my family, going to see movies is not something one does alone, nor do you want to given the location of the theater. So, it definitely isn't cheap. And I can't justify having 60 bucks invested in a movie by the time I pick it up on Blu-ray. So I try and reserve the theater for grand spectacle, with good writing of course. A difficult combination to find in the cinematic haystack of today. And besides, I got the best seat in the house at home, with full climate control, a private restroom, and a refrigerator. Oh, and repeat viewings are free. ;D
Huggs I'm exactly the same , I rarely go to the movies anymore , to many disappointments and my wage just cannot justify it especially when I know I'll get it on DVD anyway. I used to love the cinema when I was younger , but now it's reserved for something I'm actually exited about.
I think the last film I watched in the cinema was Dunkirk , I knew I was investing in a quality product. I do wish I watched IT in the cinema however as it was my favourite film of the year, and totally took me by surprise. I'll be watching three films in the cinema this year however, Deadpool 2 , Venom and of course The Predator. ;D

That makes sense! I only go to movies with my girlfriend but if I had kids I might see only 3 a year lol as much as I love movies, I rarely ever buy blu rays for some reason. My collection is relatively small.

deadpool 2 is tracking lower than the first with how much its expected to make at the box office but that's no surprise. they might be damned if they do release it before and damned if they release it in june. too close to avengers and people barely notice it since avengers has insane attention and too late in June they limitt there time for marketing. Dropping With deadpool might find a happy medium.
@ Stealth hunter .. true that infinity war is getting all the attention , but to be fair it's not like it hasn't earned it , this film will be a game changer for superhero films for years to come.
No doubt , this will huge. I mean to get to this point it's been ten years , and they have somehow managed to minimise any plot holes and tie all the films together in a coherent fashion , it's quite impressive.
I don't think deadpool 2 will be as successful as the first at least critically , box office figures are another ball game.
I still have this sneaky feeling venom will be the highlight film that takes us all by surprise. After all this is tom hardy , and he is currently the best actor in my opinion my country has to offer. I won't write anything off he's involved in. In fact I think tom hardy would do well in a predator film in the future, he certainly can pull off the macho look when he wants to... who knows what the future may bring , but I could definitely see tom hardy being part of alien or predator one day.

June is really, really late. I expect something around Ininity War which ties in nicely with the 26th showing, and it likely is linked to the Deadpool trailer. Not holding any breath though.
I remember Tom Hardy being named the favorite to be the lead in The Predator...that never came true..lol but anyway I think Boyd is gonna knock it out of the park and I'm thinking we'll see something with Deadpool 2.... hopefully

After seeing Boyd in Narcos and Logan, i'm fine with him.
Not all actors weren't available though, i heard wispers that FOX and Black couldn't agree on a lead, despite Del Toro/Hardy not being available, FOX wanted younger people who can carry the franchise longer, leading to them completely recasting the movie from scratch. That's why they shifted filming from September to February and scrapping 50 Cent, for example.

Del Toro would have been cool, but it would be hard for me to see him as Rory's dad
Boyd was great in Narcos and Logan for sure
I'm really hoping they can make a few more sequels off of this next movie

It's so interesting this site , I knew about del toro and 50 cent , del toro would of been cool , but 50 ? Yeah they dodged a bullet , he's terrible at acting imo. 😂
I wasn't aware that tom hardy was approached, I would love to see a revenant/predator hybrid , I think it could work really well , especially the opening attack scene , Yano the long drawn out set piece at the beginning , how cool would it be if it was predators instead of native Americans ? I dunno I just remember watching it , and thinking this would be perfect for predator. ;D
3 months and 3 weeks until the global Cinema release and there is still no public trailer, no marketing, no hype. . silly, how there can be any hype when there is a zero effort behind it. I believe that people responsible for this movie must be a bunch of amateurs, without any excuse. I dont understand why they showing the trailer at first behind the close doors, they dont believe into their own product or what? It should be already everywhere, on Youtube, on movie websites etc. Im super tired from all that waiting, maybe it will be much better if there wouldnt be so many negative things around this film, but still. . the politics behind this is just hilarious. Thats why I smell disaster all the time.
When they first announced that it will be Shane Black who will be directing this movie, at first I was very glad for it, really. But, by the time, I was not expecting that this will have such a strange production full of weird decisions etc. Production of this movie should be much better. . no doubt, Im sad that this is happening with Predator.

Was 50 cent officially offered a role? I remember him talking about how he was going to do it but no official word got out about that. It wouldn't surprise me if he auditioned and boasted about how he'd be in the movie before actually getting offered a role.

Fred told me he was being considered, probably for the Nebraska Williams role
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Ah, that does ring a bell. I vaguely remember you reporting that here or on Twitter or something.
If it was for the Nebraska Williams role then I'm glad they went with Trevante Rhodes. I don't dislike 50 Cent, I just think Rhodes is a great talent who needs even more recognition after Moonlight and 12 Strong.
When Shane Black tweeted:
"You'll never see him coming"
I'm beginning to wonder if he was talking about the bloody trailer!
Appreciate that 'no news is good news' etc. but I'd have like to have heard more than the director, basically, telling us to hold our horses.
To add to the above; the Halloween reboot posted a pic on Social media today. That's out in 6 months.
Appreciate we've already had a poster release; but they look to be building some momentum in their marketing.
Hollywood I agree with you on Trevante Rhodes over 50 cent , he is a talent and moonlight was a masterpiece imo. A very rare piece of cinema that doesn't come along too often. By the way I like 50 too , but he should stick to trolling Conor mcgreggor on twitter, I just think he's very wooden acting wise.

Nice, I agree his character was good in 12 Strong. Moonlight may not be everyone's cup of tea but I liked it a lot. He shows up in the later part of the film and absolutely commands the screen with his strong presence imo.
My highlight actor in moonlight was Mahershala Ali, I think he was such a believable guy as Juan, that
part where he is teaching little to swim , really tugged on my heart in a way very few films ever do. Interestingly he was also in predators.

What's idiotic about it? Deadpool 2 is looking to be a pretty big hit, and both that and The Predator are Fox films. Makes sense for the its trailer to be with the film.

It's the temporal exclusivety I meant, not coupling it with the Deadpool 2 release (which is an estimate, not a given.).
I wonder if they're not exactly satisfied with the trailer either, and are waiting to see the reactions from cinemacon, in case they want to make changes in tone or clip selection before it goes wide. Any word on music choice yet? There's been an increase in the use of classic rock in trailers over the last while. I wonder if we'll be hearing the rolling stones or AC/DC while predators fire from apc's? I expect anything at this point.

Although I think one big name would have been beneficial, I like the cast and I'm glad they got a lead who is an up-in-comer not attached to any other franchise. He's young enough to (if his character survives and 'The Predator' is successful) work on a sequel or two in a timely manner. I liked him in Narcos and Logan so really hoping that this movie can make him a more recognizable name.
They didn't have the money for a big name action star. Which is a great thing since they already have the Predator. Frees up money for other things.

Yeah cause a movie "staring" the predator is legit.
Who needs an A-lister when you have a cult classic creature? Lol.
B. Holbrook was great in wolverine, correct.
Next to ummmm an A LIST ACTOR!!!

Are they being cheap and lazy? Benicio was originally in negotiations so they do have the money for a bigger name. I don't consider any of what they've been doing lazy though.
I do agree the film would've benefited from an A list actor.
It would benefit from a marketing standpoint, whether that would ensure success is another matter. I mean, Fox reportedly pushed for James Franco as McKenna, which I can't really see, to be honest. Would have been oddly interesting to see him in both Alien and Predator, though.
The official Indonesian FOX twitter confirmed, the first trailer will debut online next month.

That absolutely wasn't my point honestly. And you are not a soothsayer for saying how cheap and lazy fox and black are with this film ?
Guys, how can you talk about A-list actors, or the fact that this movie doesnt need them when we already have the Arnold Schwarzenegger in the first Predator? Of course that part of the success of first Predator is because of the Arnold presence. . and not only him, the entire cast of the first movie was and ever will be legendary. Maybe that now, after all these years we just need mainly a good story, but still. . there is nothing bad when there is always some kind of A-list name in the cast. Me personally, I dont like the fact that Boyd Holdbrook is the main lead here, that guy never convinced me especially with his "soft" face, so. . Im looking forward on the other actors here. Benicio Del Toro would be a million times better than Boyd Holdbrook, and I think that I'm not alone with this opinion. Just try to compare this two actors together. . you cant even try that, and thats the problem.

The official Indonesian FOX twitter confirmed, the first trailer will debut online next month.

Word is Marvel doesn't have plans for comic con so that may result in The Predator getting more attention.

It will be less than two months from release by then, so I certainly hope so.
Surely from a marketing prospective they will have the trailer attached to Deadpool 2. Both "R" rated and fits the timelime. And considering the numbers for DP2, would definitely generate alot more interested in the casual fan
So what happened to the cinecon thing, did that just not happen, or nobody heard anything.
It's happening in a few days. The trailer is confirmed to be shown.

It should be today, the 24th.
And while no one here expects any bootleg action, it is what happened with the new Venom trailer.
Fox will showcase their films on Thursday, 26 April.
My bad.

The Venom leak came from a cinema didn't it, not from Cinemacon?
Also, I've got intel to suggest it's not going to be a trailer shown at Cinemacon but some sort of preview footage. I'm not 100% on this though so don't take it as gospel.
Hicks if it's another preview/screening and not a trailer is it fair to say fox are not confident ? I mean come on already!!!
I understand we need to have faith but there's a limit to how long the wool can be pulled over our eyes, if this movie is to be successful they need to act now , venom has gone full blown on the marketing front now and its out a month later. This is ridiculous, what are they afraid from ?

Not really. Alien: Covenant showed 2 (I think) scenes from the film, not a trailer. Nothing about showing a trailer or an actual scene speaks to any amount of confidence. It's just more doomsday-saying from my perspective, I'm afraid.

It's a Marvel film. Makes sense Venom's trailer would be attached to the biggest Marvel film of the year, no? It still makes sense to me that The Predator trailer will be attached to Deadpool 2. I know it's Marvel but it's adult Marvel, it's R-rated, bloody, graphic and it's Fox. Seems like the right demographic to me.
Sorry, I'm not subscribing to this fandom panic that the film is going to suck. I don't have the full picture. Am I getting impatient? Sure. But I'll watch the film and make up my opinion then.
Yeah. I'm with you hicks on the deadpool 2 front, 100% makes total sense , all I'm saying is this film doesn't seem bothered in competing with anything, it's not putting itself out there, this is business and when Shane black sold us the idea that this would be a big blockbuster "event" film it makes me wonder what the secrecy is about.
What I'm getting at is they need to set the record straight and give us something substantial that we can all get behind and say "yeah we got this wrong , the film actually looks like it's going to be awesome!!" Hicks do you get what I'm getting at ?
When marketing kicks in they will talk about the film. We'll get the set visits, we'll start to get interviews and we'll actually learn something more than the soundbites we've had so far. Until then it's just us being impatient (because we've known about the film for so long) and suffering from Chicken Little syndrome (because that's just what fandoms do).
Chicken little syndrome lol 😂 that's a belter !
I read the script again , there are plenty are things in there that i have come to like , believe it or not I have sort of come full circle , things I didn't like at first I'm now digging , im now more worried about the limited marketing treatment it seems it's getting more than what the film contains , but you are right hicks we will know a lot more come deadpool 2.
do you think there will be a trailer leak?
No. We'll get footage/trailer descriptions for sure but I don't think we'll see any actual recordings out of Cinemacon. It's not for fans. It's for industry.
venom had leaks.
Venom didn't leak from CinemaCon though, a theater leaked it after receiving the trailer

It may well be that the Predator has hit the end of it's road. My wish was for Arnold/Dutch story to be wrapped up. That said, this franchise has p-ssed away so many opportunities (and too much time has passed) to keep itself relevant it's now down to a "niche" semi-cult following market.
I'd be curious to see the true "big picture" on fan consumption of this franchise (demographics). I'm not sure that the average movie-go'er cares about Predator, let alone knows about it. And even though it would have been for the better- Arnold would not have added much to the box office or added additional interest, as his time has passed.
I think FOX is trying to hit on some sort of jackpot here. The fan base will pay for the movie- anything beyond that we'll see. I just don't see this thing lasting too much longer on the blockbuster-movie level. And all in all maybe that's why Fox is being "meh" about the marketing. I'm starting to think so.
Heck the movie may be decent, but they know it's just not going to hit a lot of consumers interest.
Original predator I have come to similar conclusions about where fox stand with the predator franchise myself. While I think the film will be a lot better than what people think it will be , I think you are right in that it isn't really commercial anymore. I'm die hard for predator and nothing tickles me the way our predator friend does , however I do accept I'm in the minority, and that's where probably where the problem lies. They won't invest heavily because of fear of failure, like you said fox have pi$$ed the franchise up the wall, to many gimmicks, to many throw backs to the original, it never managed to create a coherent story. And to your average joe , predator has become another monster movie that you take or leave. Fox have rinsed what was special about the alien in the first place imo.

They also only released this new trailer áfter a bootleg leak from the same con. I can wait, but seriously expect stuff to start dripping in soon.
It didn't originate from the con. It was an actual cinema that leaked it.
If the reactions to the footage are less than positive, they need to just release the trailer already. I'm staying positive, and will reserve judgment until I've read the official plot summary and novel upon release. But yeah, if the cinemacon video is "take it or leave it", I'd say they've got a stinker on their hands.

Only in the sense that by combining the plot summary online and the official movie novelization after the films release, I can get a basic enough grasp of what the overall tone and narrative structure of the film truly are. The novel just adds much more detail to what I already know from the plot summary. Granted, there are some instances where the novel surpasses the film, such as covenant or skull island. My overall point here is that I will personally have enough information from those sources to make my decision regarding whether to go see the film in theaters.
So yes, this is my method. I can borrow a book or get one from a library. And they're also very cheap. I can also put a book down after 5 minutes, and come back to it a year later at no charge. Once I've paid to see a bad movie, all I can do is suffer through it, or walk out early with less money and nothing to show for it.

I get what you're saying. Knowing what details meant make films more interesting later on.
BvS for instance, I liked the theatrical, but the more layers and references I read about later, the better the film as a whole gets.
But, in the end, the film can be judged perfectly fine on release.

Cinecon -> reason for new material -> showing trailer regardless of source -> bootleg appearing -> official source for said trailer released
And while the Predator might not be attached till Deadpool hits, íf it leaks, an official link will be published really quick. Not saying it will happen, but if it does this is the expected chain of events.
All we need to do is wait till sunday.
All I want from Cinemacon is to know how much the trailer matches or doesn't match the draft of the script that floating around

I think detail is going to be minimal. At least too minimal to determine the extent to which it matches the script. The tone of the trailer is going to be the big thing for me. Like when Meg finally released the trailer and Sinatra started singing and the footage focused too much on the humor. It just made the movie seem even more cheesy and generic than a summer shark movie starring Jason Stathom should. I hope it turns out alittle more serious than the trailer made it seem, but I'm not holding my breath. First trailers are indeed important.

Same for me, can't wait to find out ! I guess i hope it won't be too humor heavy, i will be surprised if they played that card in the first trailer.
Very odd how long they're delaying the trailer release
Frankly, I don't think the studio has confidence in this film
Remember when Black was gushing about this being an "event" film? More like non-event...

Sad but true.
I'm still hyped for the movie but I fear this will pass the general audience by.
Everyone saying that this could be the next IT, IT's first trailer was in the March and the marketing had well and truly kicked in by now. That was an event movie.
Everywhere I read so far the last couple days says that today they will be showing it at cinemacon. So wouldnt we then expect it to end up on youtube or here, later in the afternoon latest?
I don't expect anything to leak from Cinemacon. We'll get descriptions but actual footage is unlikely. The trailer isn't far off, though.
The Fox panel at Cinemacon is from 1pm to 230pm eastern today. Unfortunately I don't expect any footage to leak. Still looking forward to descriptions of the footage though.

And if not then we may never see this movie...
Just can't think of any other film to tie it to... Besides Jurassic World.
There is a problem marketing this movie for a few main reasons:
1. No A-list lead actor to attach it to. You guys can talk about actor A-B-C all you want and how good they are. But the reality is an A-list actor is statistically proven to attract a percentage of money, just on the name alone to a film and that alone will pay for the marketing. The marketing will be minimal on this film. So we need to get used to it. Please understand the "term" marketing isn't just previews. It's a guest appearance on a Late Show, it's a tied in promo with the Wax Museum where Actor A plays a wax figure, it's filmed put on youtube everyone see's, laughs, loves. ETC. Pitching Boyd Hollbrook to appear on SNL, or the Late Show or a Wax Museum isn't putting a dent in anything. No knock on Boyd or the crew, just isnt'.
2. It's Niche. Because of the prior failures of this film franchise (Prometheus is also used as a gauge here, same fanbase) and the landscape and the fact that this film isn't slated for the "summer blockbuster" talk. Movie writers/critics aren't writing about this film, will be alls quiet until release. It's slated for Sept, the "wind down time" in the industry (again you can pretend that the whole "IT" phenomena will permeate to Pred, but your pretending, it was a perfect storm aka phenomena, so that "reasoning" is a pacifier the FOX big wigs are feeding you). Right now it's not on the radar for "mainstream" promotion.
3. Movie money is the lowest it's been in 20 plus years. People are going to movies, but not as often. So Family A, or person A, isn't going to see 5-7 movies in a span of May thru Dec. They will now see 2-3. So they are planning Jurassic Park, Avengers and DeadPool. They aren't going to budget for 3-4 more obscure less known films. They will see the "big dog" movies and be done. And that's just a fact.
So while the fanbase for this film is rabid, we need to realize that the rest of the world likely hasn't heard a peep and if they did, don't care for the reasons stated above.
That's why another game would be nice. Had they came out with an actual Alien movie when Isolation was still fresh in the minds of the mainstream, who knows? The predator is holding tough with cameos right now. Were a new AVP game to be released next year, followed shortly by AVP3 from Disney, it may lead to some larger interest in these franchises. At least, the young folks might get caught up in the game, and then want to see the new movie, and then they're hooked.
And personally, I just think that at this point and time in cinematic history, the only way to keep these movies alive,relevant, and making bank is to go full Jurassic World/Aliens 86/L.O.T.R. Explosions, Spectacle, Big Set Pieces, and lots of creatures, soldiers and equipment. So maybe black is onto something here. It's a cg and color junkies world now. Deep thinking androids with space philosophy just isn't something one can take to the bank. People wanna see iron man in a shiny suit fight the giant CG bad guys. I may not be "excited" for the movie, but I'm interested to see what kind of financial performance it will have.

Totally agree. Great additional points. If they weren't gonna go the "A" list route, then yeah they probly need to go with the circus atmosphere. Set up the big old tent....people will go check it out.
Makes you wonder if the studio is waiting to see how this fun and funky take on predator turns out, before another alien prequel is green-lit. If this film is successful, we may very well be looking at something like Aliens or AVP next. I doubt they would ask Shane to do it though. And I think Cameron is alittle busy at the moment.
Living in hope that the re-shoots were forced by Disney/Fox.
The fact that there's been no marketing for a film with a following like Predator is odd. It may well be 'on track' in terms of the normal approach. BUt considering the following this has and the generations it spans, I think it's weird to have seen absolutely nothing so far.
Even the original 'You won't see him coming' poster/reveal wasn't from this film, was it? And,IIRC, the lightning bolt poster was revealed on social media by someone visiting Fox, was it not?
So either this film has the worst guerrilla marketing campaign or there have been some HUGE changes behind the scenes and they're having to re-work a lot of it.
Hoping it's the latter as having now read the first draft, I don't want that to be the final film.

I honestly don't think the hold up is because Fox "isn't confident on the film" because, well... that doesn't make any sense. If you're not confident that your film is going to be a hit, you don't hold the marketing for that reason, you invest more and more on marketing so you convince people to go see the movie. That's pretty much what Warner did with Suicide Squad. And also... Remember Fant4stic? I seriously doubt that Fox had the least confidence on that movie, and it had regular marketing just like any other.
The hyopthesis that come to my mind are... Either they're using this growing anticipation for the trailer as a marketing strategy - smaller movies have done that before, but I don't put all my chips on that option -, or the reshoots just put them in the most difficult timeframe possible to start marketing the film, with Avengers being the hot topic of the moment, and their only possible way out of this is attaching the trailer to Deadpool 2.
There's not much point in hyping up a movie nobody asked for, so I think it's better to save the cash there if it were my business. Hit it hard 2-3 weeks before with a trailer and some TV spots, maybe a making of doco on youtube or something.

Pretty sure some fans asked for it. Myself included. But even if they hadn't, that's complete bull. Supposedly, nobody asked for a new Star Wars trilogy, and still. If the movie industry depended only on what people "ask for", it wouldn't go anywhere at all.

Wait I think I misunderstood your comment, yeah it makes sense. But still I think if they had hyped the movie in a regular marketing timeframe, it would've worked out. It worked wonders for It, and that was a movie that people didn't necessarily ask for

The problem with that logic is that the film needs to make money even if nobody asked for it, and it can't make any money if nobody knows it's coming.

Shane is a true class act. I've seen him respond to rude Twitter users in very professional ways. Simply liking a Facebook comment is another polite way of acknowledging a misinformed fanboy comment without blowing up so good on him.

The problem with that logic is that the film needs to make money even if nobody asked for it, and it can't make any money if nobody knows it's coming.
Many people will know it's coming assuming it's attached to Deadpool 2. And why wouldn't it be?
It's not my point of view, the guy literally has no control of the release.
I can sense the hope diminish as it gets delayed further ....
And sniped. Comeon, gentleman, you're supposed to be grown-ups but I'm not seeing it. Lionhart, Skhelter, let's act like that instead of resorting to school yard (dumbass, dumbf**ks, whatever). Next time either of you regresses to teenage years, you'll find yourself without the ability to post.
Shane Black has no control over the trailer's release. Directors have very little to do with marketing. It's not a good show on the fandom to tweet or Facebook the director of films making demands of them and coming bragging about it. It maybe intended in jest but you know how hard it is to judge intent over the internet.
Come-on guys, show a little class please.

Which wasn't the point anyway. If I were director, bound by whatever agreement I have with the studio, I would be sincerely flathered if fans would start to get impatient.
If you don't get that, I understand why you get upset. But it is all it is.
I'm not upset about anything.
But I do remember James Gunn getting similar comments in the lead-up to Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He posted some photos on Instagram of himself and his partner on holidays during post-production enjoying a much-deserved break. People started slinging awful, vitriolic shit about "stop f**king around and give us a trailer already" on his social media platforms. He posted an impassioned response saying he had zero control over it and that maybe people should appreciate the fact that making a movie takes a lot of work and that they should possibly -- just out of courtesy -- f**k off with the entitled shit and let things run their course.
I'm a director. When I get people telling me to hurry up with things out of my control, I don't get flattered. I get annoyed that they clearly don't know enough about the process to understand that I'm not the person they should be talking to about this shit, and even if I were, f**k them, we've got a schedule to stick to.
Shake it off dude, you're taking this far too serious.
Harassing the people who make the films is a pretty serious thing. Nothing wrong with a little education to avoid worsening stereotypes about fandoms.
Affirmative Admin
I miss the days before social media. :-\
I miss they day that people were able to crack a joke without offending anyone per definition. If this is harassing, I seriously doubt your tolerance to the world.
Anyone remember the hype of AVP back in 2004. All the behind the scenes stuff. it was great. got me in the mood for it. Not seeing much for this new movie. Pretty disappointing.

Same on Predators. But time will tell, at least ADI is making a book again.
Well, the big difference is this is "just another Predator sequel"
AVP was something pretty special. In terms of what the concept represented and just how long people had been waiting for it.

It's a great teaser. The first three videos related to AVP actually had a lot of promise. The teaser, Paul Anderon's "pitch" and then the first trailer which was basically the teaser with a few additional scenes.
Another good one from around that time was the Terminator 3 Teaser, which the theater I was in when that came on basically lost their goddamn minds for a good two minutes.
It is a little disconcerting we haven't see anything like that for The Predator. Something with pomp.
Well I hope they hit it really hard these remaining 4 months to try to compensate. Black doesn't have any control of the marketing, but you can tell just how excited he is about this movie by seeing he posting about it as much as he can. Once the marketing gets ignited, I'm sure we'll get tons of new things. The budget for this movie is seriously high for a Predator movie, it's insane to think they would market a mid-budget film like Predators a lot more than this... So I'm expecting the marketing to come heavy starting this month.
Ah, still no trailer, I gotta wipe some tears of anger.

No matter who has control over the release of the trailer....it can't be denied that the reason is something of a worry....
Am keeping my expectations pretty low on this one....and would be glad to be proved otherwise.
Trailer has to be this week surely.

Well, that's what Predators was too, right?
AvP was supposed to be special and spent about ten, fifteen years in development limbo.
The fact that it got made was more special than the film it ended up to be.

Yea, you're right. After reading so much, I don't know how to say, offense towards the movie, this was my first post in a while, I was agitated. The one in the other thread came later. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
Nonetheless, as I see, my point stands. Why be negative in advance. To be frank, I don't feel right about the concept. I don't want megapredators and dna modifying and whatnot. Doesn't feel right.
I'm not saying it should be accepted, but come on, when we see the final product, we can decide. Why be negative and try to imagine the worst case scenario? It can happen, yea. But trying to be creative and "hype" oneself is much more productive. For instance, look at the comic "Hunters" If somebody told me beforhand the story, I'd say, this is ******
But it was pretty nice, the chemistry worked.
All I'm saying, people are putting
themselves down, being like this.

Fortunately the director is Shane Black, not Dekker ! And for a majority of people the first Predator movie is considered a B movie, so that's not necessarily a bad thing.
And of the three movies Dekker directed, two of them are good. Monster Squad is pretty amazing.

Really found it weak to be fair.
I've never seen anything of Dekker's, but honestly, writing is something that there's just no way to pre-judge based on past works. Eric Heisserer wrote the Nightmare On Elm Street remake, the The Thing reboot, Final Destination 5 and then... Arrival. I mean, damn.
And one way or another Black is co-writer and the actual director. He's easily the best director that has helmed a Predator movie since McTiernan, so I'm excited for him.

Don't think we should be too fixed on the leaked script. When a script leaks that early, it's usually a very early and raw draft of it, never the final version. At least everytime I saw this happening, this was the case. So I think even before the reshoots the final film wouldn't been quite different from that script, and now that they actually made reshoots...
Sure, some things are gonna stay, some concepts and ideas, but the film itself, how the story's developed and the themes explored, that's gonna be different. It's already sounding different from the trailer descriptions.
All right guys. What is the current countdown until trailer is dropped? Please don't say JUNE.
Guessing 10 days. R rated trailer drops with Deadpool 2 in theaters where many will see it.
Correction: hope to see it.
It hasn't been officially confirmed as far as I know. We just expect it because DP2 is R rated and Fox too.
Sadly, we get DP2 a little earlier and I don't expect to see the trailer in cinema right then. But I settle for a decent youtube ;)
Yeah sorry my wordage was inconsistent after I said "guessing". It's not confirmed but lines up with Shane Blacks tweet about it going to theaters a few weeks after cinemacon.
If there are unfinished effects shots from the reshoots they want to include in the trailer, it may still be awhile.
Is there a chance we get a completely different trailer than the one at Cinemacon?
Quote from: Stealth_Hunter on May 08, 2018, 10:20:12 PM

Oh sure. But I wouldn't count on too many differences.
No one has confirmed anything other than it drops this month, but it has to come out with Deadpool 2. Besides being Rated R and Fox, it's the sequel for one of the most successful rated R movies in history, attaching the Predator trailer to it is their best way out of the Avengers hype, that way they'll take a ride on the Deadpool hype which is pretty big too.
So, it's coming soon. Can't wait but how was the response to the cinemacon teaser? Well shit I guess I could just read that thread...
It was mixed. Some loved it, some hated it.
oh shit. That's the last thing I wanted to hear. :P
I think that's how the film's ultimately going to be received anyway.

At the moment, we have an official preview, some interviews, pictures showing little to nothing and an old draft.
Based on this, there are hardly any facts about the movie.
One can think the idea is bad (though from the official synopsis very little can be told if it stands for the predator species as whole, or another type will be introduced again, like in predators. The whole thing with the little boy is in fact a bad idea.)
Or the scrrenwriter, director bad based on their previous works. But those are not facts, unfortunately.
Feelings, assumptions, premonitions.
Once there is some proof, it we'll have facts. But we don't even have a trailer.
Might it be that I overlooked something? Was there any confirmation about any information that maybe I missed?

Yeah - from the tweets I saw I'd agree that it lent more on the positive side. But there were certainly some negativity or just ambivalence.
QuoteBy Anton Volkov on May 9, 2018
Right in time for Deadpool 2's release next week, we are delighted to report that the first trailer for Shane Black's The Predator is now in the can and ready for an imminent launch. The piece was rated this afternoon by the German FSK and is expected online in the next week, if not in the next few minutes (if our previous experience with 20th Century Fox trailer classifications is to go by).

Ah, fantastic!
Giddy.
Today is the day!
Then the real complaining starts...haha!
It's time to take sedatives. :)
I wouldn't expect within a few minutes - it's too early in LA for that, but if we're getting it today it'll probably be in either in 1 and a bit hours or later on in the evening.
Come on please ! The wait has been testing !

I'm relieved to be honest, often they just drop the "The" in the title and leave the rest, i rather have something with a tagline.

I'm not betting on the trailer dropping today but it'd be a pleasant surprise! Pretty good timing if you ask me, the Avengers stuff is starting to die down.

The Predator is the original titel as it says here.
Predator - Upgrade seems to be the title the movie gets here in Germany, for some stupid reason the movie publishers often change the movie titles or add dumb subtitles to them. Don´t take this for granted guys.

Remakes keep the name of the original.
I call P1 'The Predator' and I'm based in the UK.
But I think this is the name for the trailer itself, and not the film.
Going by the trailer-track link, 'The Film' is called 'Predator - Upgrade Trailer 5', and the 'Original Title' is "The Predator".
I'm taking 'the film' to mean the film they've received to review. Presumably (in the past) they'll have received a hard copy of 'actual film and titled it accordingly for storage purposes etc.
I think they will use most of the casual scenes (nothing revolutionary as Predators in pants - if they are still in the movie?) the rest they will leave for the entire film. But, NOW, Im very excited! But Im also sad that they will (propably) release two versions of the trailer, we all want to see the real R-rated version. I have no idea what kind of feelings that trailer give me, I will be looking on that like Scientist on a dead body in mortuary, examining it from all available angles, I wonder how the whole camera take will looks like, the angles of camera positions etc. and of course the Predators, if we will see them in motion. :o

You are correct, I didn't see it when I used the "new" post link to enter the thread.
How the plot synopsis made it past the "elevator pitch" stage is beyond me.
This is a PREDATOR movie; not ET nor "its love-letter to Spielberg" Super-8* (*amazing film btw). I say that as Shane Black tried to quell the fanbash by defending his child lead comparing PREDATOR to ET.
Also a magical toy spaceship that causes a real PREDATOR spaceship to crashland??????? Sound like Last Action Hero's magic ticket or The Last Starfighter's level of tweeness and facepalming.

Drop the trailer so we can have a peek at how bad it is. I doubt said McGuffin will make an appearance, only things that make it look good. You know like human soldiers and Predators engaged in a war. That is all the "wow" we need.
AVP-CAPCOM - Wait, man. . I was thinking that the boy is playing with the Predator wrist-gauntlet, and not some toy Spaceship? Im confused now. :-X

We tend to put 'the' in front of everything, though, sorry!

Could be big, big changes to the script on the back of these reshoots?

No, mate; the leaked script said the Preds now have glaucoma.
Not sold on the gauntlet design, TBH.
Looks too much like something from Predators. The tech is 'sleek' in comparison to the Jungle Hunter's gauntlet.
Funk master chunk. In defense of the design, with time passing, everything getting much more slick(talking about design). Also counting that first predator came out in 1987. My fevourite was predator 2 design, that design was trully unique.
Also this design does have some medieval elements, which I think is good
I'm liking the combination of the bronze and the silver. It works well for me.
Corporal Hicks agree :)

Agree RE: actual design progressing 'IRL' etc. but we're talking about the Predators, here. The stocky wrist computer was/is as classic as the Jungle & City Hunters, IMO.
I appreciate the need to modernise, but half the reason for the imminent backlash of this film is because it falls well within the "If it isn't broke, don't fix it" category.
They need to give us a good no, great, story in which the classic preds are the focus. No modernisation of the gear. No weird weapons. No Xenomorphs. No shit. Just a good action/horror with the Pred being the big bad.
Classic Pred + Good story = Recipe for success
Agree on a lot of stuff, but the thing is that designers, concept artist go throug a lot of ittirations, and usually art director get assignment from the producers and directors to modernise or change already established design. Its not good or not bad, its just the part of the industry. The rule is still keep something old, or siluethe so viewers will recognize, but dont stand at the same point(design, story etc)

Yeah I agree with that in, say, the way most (if not all) other films should modernise - MCU, for example, has done a great job of updating the suits/weapons etc. for their heroes.
I just don't think the Pred needs the same treatment, if I'm being honest.
We had 2 great films to kick the franchise off; then a lot of guff. If the leaked script is anything to go by, and I think it is; then I fear we're treading similar ground to Predators.
I think the franchise needs to go back to basics.
You're 100% right in the natural evolution of the industry, though. I just worry it might spell the beginning of the end for something we've held dear for some time.
It looks like the Predator heat vision finally got a decent upgrade.
Funk master chunk I totally understand your point sir. And i do miss old school, or tribal designs from the first two movies. But after avp, avpr abd predators I just happy to see another try on this franchise and hope it will bring at least a little bit of some cool things. ;)

Very true.
Some of the things in the script excited me, if I'm being honest. Potential for some good set pieces in there for sure.
I just want our Predator back. Feel like he hasn't had a good enough outing since P2.

It was a decent enough watch, TBH.
Dare I say it, I actually kind of 'liked' it if I'm being honest.
But it wasn't a Predator film, if that makes sense?
FWIW, I think I'll feel the same about this film. I actually said in the spoilers thread that (based on the leaked script) if this wasn't a Predator film, I'd actually really like it.
Adrian Brody needed some Strepsils in that film, though.

I wonder if Boyd Holbrook will post something. He's on Instagram but not Twitter I believe. Loving these pics. ;D
Edit - Malfunction.
David 9/14 is September 14, premier of the movie ;)
That picture with them inside that ship, I know that Trevante Rhodes will be one of my favourite actors here, but man. . he is looking really good. Im surprised that I love that shot, but also I dont want to forget all that crazy stuff. Now, I have a REAL mixed reactions.

David 8, yeh it's late in my country, and we put days first month second, so it took me some time to digest the numbers ;D
Somethin' tomorrow eh? Watch it be the official announcement that the first trailer will premiere online in.........June! Mwuhahaha! ;)

I mostly see trailers hit YouTube between 6:30-11am here on the west coast of the US. EDIT: I think that would be between the early afternoon and late evening where you are?
But sometimes it can be random times of day. I believe The Meg and Venom had their trailers drop on evening hours where I live.

Well, it's all coming together. I'm honestly wondering if Ben Kingsley will have a cameo in this, seeing as how Shane is re-using the "never see me coming" line from Iron Man 3 for the marketing here, and let's face it, he's Ben Kingsley.

I dont expect anything from this movie, so any bit of quality it actually has will be appreciated, but i already dont like how it looks the Pred tech on the kids arm, it does not look very Predator-y
On the background of the third Olivia Munn pic we can see what apparently is the scout ship from the first Predator movie opening scene
Very excited for trailer.. Like come on ppl its a new predator film.. It means new figures n stuff to i bet
The existence of the new film itself is nice, too.
I'm jacked on finally having a big budget Predator film, so yeah.
D88M in protection oc the design (😊) the first movies have way different designs. First one was more sci fi military design, while the second one was more ancient tribal (Maya, African) design. So having another new design is not a bad thing, as long as movie itself entertaining.
tomorrow cant come fast enough my god im so excited :D

I would guess around 2pm if my time conversion doesn't fail me -

Anyone recognise what Bracket is rocking here?
Spoiler
I believe it is a tranquilizer rifle.
That makes sense. Thank you. I suppose she's trying to trank a Spoiler
Predator or hound or hybrid

IIRC, there was a scene in which the Pred "smiles" at casey in the leaked script. She grabs for a tranq gun in that scene. Presumably that's it.

ALMOST.... TIME...
What about MrH video about it being attached to deadpool 2 lol ? He claimed he had proof no ?
It'll be the film that it's attached to cinematically. I don't think we ever have theater exclusive trailers these days??
Same...I bet we won't have a single shot of one of the predators
The other day i was going down on AvP galaxy and said " geez i`d like a little teaser, geez i`d like a little teaser"
God i hope, today is perfect !

On the official app...but where is it?! :laugh:
You never see the eyes of the teaser until he comes calling.
Sorry.
I'm there. Looks fun!
