Great interview guys. Nimrod seems like a humble, down to Earth, nice guy.

A few things I took away:

It looks like we won't be getting a definitive answer on if the Super Predators practice genetic manipulation or not. Show less, not more. Tell less, not more. It's probably smart yet cruel that Nimrod likes to keep such things ambiguous. :)

I was new to the Isabelle shape-shifting info. I actually am intrigued with that idea and disappointed it was shut down. Like thinking the River Ghost should have joined the hero party, or at least stayed in proximity and helped when able, I do feel the hunting reserve planet needed more otherworldly components.

Reminiscing, it would have been something to see Dutch or Harrigan in the Noland role. But we know that Predator franchise motto....  #NoReturningCharacters

And I can almost smell the smoke coming out of Hick's ears as he recalls fighting the remake/homage debate. :D But I'll stand by my opinion that Predators had too little repeated beats and elements to be a remake, but too many repeated beats and elements to be a homage, and justifiably can be criticised for retreading too much.  When there's enough smoke (complaints), there's fire (a problem) and a clear indicator that the homages went... at the very least... a little too far and needed to be reigned in just a bit. Like Nimrod kept saying there's a fine line.

With that said, I enjoy Predators and am happy to have it as a Predator fan and I enjoyed this interview!

P.S. It's so awesome that Nimrod started out a Predator fan. He's one of us! :)

Thank you Nimrod forgiving us Predators. Really. IMHO you just got it. You captured the essence. AND for the budget you got. Your film gives me hope (the only thing that does) that someone at Disney can one day see that you don't need to go overboard to get a pred film done, that you can have a simple, cheap, slow burning and suspenseful flick and, dollar for dollar, really get a good return at the end of the cycle (cinema, bluray, new boxset, literature, misc merchandise)... in Royce's words, '...It can be done!'. And us fans will be EVER so grateful.
👍

I haven't listened to it yet but i'm gonna say that it super-f**king-cool that you guys've finally managed to get the director on your show!

Now it's time to get The Director...

Even if i like The Predator it doesn't mean... Maybe...BUT MAYBE NOT!  :( ??? >:( :-[  :-\ :P ::) :) :D ;D

Anyway, i've listened podcast already. Nimrod is such nice and modest and clever guy! Also i like that Hicks mentioned that skull in fire. It was like "Yes! I'm not insane! Someone also did see it!" And overall Predators still a movie that i really enjoy rewatching over and over. It definetly has right bits in it.

About "rehash" criticism. I think that jungle setting is so strongly associated with first movie that if you just make another Predator movie set in jungle first thought will be "Oh, they're trying to trade the same." And i think that criticism is valid to some degree. I just don't bothered by it 'cause movie as whole is great.

Not going to browbeat someone, whose filmed ripped me off in July 2010, but I will say Nimrod Antal bit off more than he could chew and didn't deliver the goods.

From the misleading marketing suggesting an "A" title and that fake trailer with multiple lazer dots suggesting 10 or so PREDATORs were hunting Adrien Brody and his heavily armed buddies, suggesting an epic showdown.

Also can I remind everyone
ALIENS VS PREDATOR- REQUIEM (2007), budget $40 Million (but looked double or triple that budget) and they even afforded Tom Woodruff fantastic ADI suits and practical effects.
PREDATORS (2010) budget also $40 Million and they resorted to a cheaper prosthetics company, which still got praised by ADI's Alec Gillis "for the budget they had". But again he doesn't realise AVP-R had the same budget and limited shooting schedule.

The end result of PREDATORS was a shoddy straight to DVD mess. It bored an entire cinema with people shouting out sarcastic remarks during a screening I was at. One even said "that (fake) trailer lied to us! What a crap film!". Before legging it out of the cinema.

As for Nimrod Antal saying "other people's movies lack suspense" is very much glass stones and houses.

Only the actors kind of saved this movie from total disaster. Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Oleg Taktarov, Laurence Fishburne, Mahershala Ali, Louis Ozawa Changchien were all great. But then that's kind of like how "the last kid who get's picked last in team sports" is offered the chance of first pick next round because he complained.....only to pick the same team again like a hypocrite.
In other words the cast chosen was overcompensating for the person responsible to Direct.

Danny Tejo was criminally underused. I really wanted Machete Vs Predator! Guess they didn't hire a fight choreographer? And as for Walton Goggins

Spoiler

getting his spine ripped out

[close]

was the best scene in the movie as well as his comic line "You know, man, if we ever make it home, I'm going to do so much f**king cocaine. I'm gonna rape so many fine bitches". Inappropriate but hilarious at the same time.

Needed more preparation and needed better action choreography. All the elements were there but............good intentions do not make a great movie. Which PREDATORS was, frustratingly, not.

My only question was "what was that metal thing Lawrence Fishburne made a make-shift home in?". A crashed spaceship? An alien house? An alien mine?

On the subject of the skull on fire. I read somewhere that the shot was filmed by one of the guys who worked on the classic 'texas chainsaw m'. It then immediately hit me that in that movie there's an exact same shot, same mood, with the fire crackling and all. Not of an alien creature of course, but I spotted it right away. Both brilliant shots btw. There u go, a bit of trivia (unless I'm imaging it, but I don't think so- just take a look).

This podcast is Nimrod Antal conceeding defeat and admitting he made a crap movie. Tell us something we don't know? Next he'll say how his follow-up, METALLICA- THROUGH THE NEVER cinema movie was played to empty screenings and took $2000 at the box office.

I second I want a Shane Black podcast, but its still "too soon" and I doubt we'd get any juicy dirt until the dust has settled.

He's so angry I can feel AVP-CAPCOM's frustration through my screen!

Quick, someone get him a Snickers!

Well even the studio knew their product sucked. What a lazy curveball, rather than demanding reshoots or drafting in another Director to finish.

Predators is pure awesomeness.

I'm getting tired of Old One's deleted and massively edited posts.

By the way - yes, it is.

Because context is important and an edited or completely reconstructed post is required often.
AVP Capcom, I don't agree at all.

ADI's work is the worst it's ever been on AVP Requiem, and the film looked as though Asylum produced. Every design aspect apart from Wolf and the Predator technology is a complete disaster.

Predators is a far superior film in every respect, but especially visually. Although I agree Predators marketing overpromised and underdelivered, it's nowhere near the travesty of Requiem.

It's just honestly mediocre, in my opinion it's totally inoffensive and entertaining but rarely memorable.

Sometimes...ok, very often... i don't understand things "sigh"

Because,
I don't desire a reply for a position I altered.
Often I reconsider and downplay my emotional response, and a degree of OCD is involved.

Anyway, thank you for the interview AP.

While neither are Stan Winston Studio, to me the work of KNB is superior to ADI's work in AVP, AVP-R and The Predator... which is really depressing honestly.

A very fair summation.

On ADI.

Spoiler

I hate to shit on craftspeople.
But the moment ADI started to do their own thing, they started f**king things up. And don't give me that "under the direction of a Director" crap, even Harbinger Down looked incredibly stiff, rubbery and plastic.

In terms of special effects stuff, their work on their first two films, Aliens and Alien the third, was their best.

NIMROD ANALTALL...is a SUPER MEGA BIGTIME LIAR

Him trailer promised us....a HUNDRED PREDATORS FIGHTING THE BRODY (the raging bull of heroic pianists) and instead...only THREE?

Very boring film. To much talking and walking through jungle...like first movie not enough of THE PREDATOR which is what i paidand wanted to see. Not enough of the HEARTPOUNDING ACTION and DEATH DEFYING COMPUTER GRAPHICAL ENERGY BLASTERS thqt i have come yo expect and love, but always keeping it from becoming TO INTIMIDATING by allowing the characters to have the fun and make THE JOKES even in the face of certain doom. To show us that even in the DARKESKT OF TIMES we must show our best faces and go happily into the furure. In this we have found our true PINACLE OF CiNEMATOLOGICAL ART kniwn as THE MARVEL FILM EXTENDED CINEMATIC UNIVERSE of which i have watched from the time of a young child looking up at the Iron Man with wonderment and am a proud product of the Disney teachings.

Shane Black in his THE PREDATOR movie created THE ULTIMATE PREDATOR of the 21ST CENTURY. Fashioning it in the image of the Disney films if SUPERERO ADVENTURING.

And now I realize you're trolling.

Let's actually discuss the interview and points raised please.

I appreciate the interview Hicks. And appreciate Nimrod is a Predator fan too.

I just wish you got a chance to ask about the Bezerker's apparent change in size, indicated by the behind the scenes pics.

But it was a fun listen regardless!

I'm really looking forward to listening to this, already enjoying people's replies. Stoked  ;D

I second this...what  :laugh: Though I take it as a compliment on Brody's part.

It's obviously mockery.

The most important point in the whole interview i think is that he was rushed and could have used more time to polish and extend or improve upon.
I never understood why Fox would wait 17 years and then rush the making of the movie from script to filming.


I really am hoping disney creates a predator show for the streaming service disney is putting out or really well made R rated movies that hit the theater..that would be a way to do a lot of short stories taking place at any given point in time in history or space,  with the streaming service that is.

Stan Winston Legend Studios and Disney/ fox working together is my only hope at this point.
A streaming show you could change the actors and predators and setting and story every episode or every few episodes. It would be a way to put out a lot of stories that would be top notch on quality.
But it would have to be star wars disney stan winston quality or nothing at all in my book.

Good interview. I always liked Nimrod. I knew the moment the bongos hit i was gonna like predators and i did. its a solid C+ could have been much more but it did well with that he had. i still think the "dogs & wolves" predator on predator blood feud thing should be explored in full and not the crap we got in The Predator.

His last answer was mysterious. I don't see what the harm was saying what would be good in another Predator sequel. It's not as if they're going to continue with that story now.

I don't think Nimrod got much exposure before the film came out. It was always Rodriguez doing all the interviews and media stuff before the film came out. I wonder how much freedom Nimrod really had in the end.

I'm really surprised you didn't ask him about The Predator and whether or not he'd seen it.

Me too. I guess it because Hicks is just soooo frustrated with it. He rate it now, what, 3/10 or something and put it on the same level with Requiem?

I was always luke warm on Predators. I thought Brody was great in it though. Never cared much for the Super Preds and their suitwork and effects.

It's not until The Predator came out that I realized how much worse things could get. :laugh:

Good pod.  I could've listened to a lot more though.

By reusing material from the last two movies ADI had done. The Alien suits were barely modified from AvP, which in turn were barely modified from Alien Resurrection, and all of the non-Wolf Predators are suits or moulds from AvP. Only the PredAlien and Wolf were new for the movie.

KNB had to build everything from scratch.

Unfortunately, I had a lot of questions and we were ultimately recording for about 2 hours and not all of it was for the interview. We'd originally said it'd probably only be an hour or so,  so I didn't really want to ask him even more questions.

I imagine that'd just be change in stunt/performers, though.

I actually really dislike it now. I can't remember when we talked about it but in a recent episode I did say I had become increasingly frustrated with the film and did put it on AvPR level now.

Been awhile since I saw the Schmidt's.

Ok I get that ADI recycled suits from Resurrection for its 2 AVP movies. I'm not a fan of Resurrection and wish it wasn't made either.

But from an objective stance the suits looked fantastic in all those films, at least when demonstrated in isolation on ADI's youtube channel or DVD extras during making of segments.

I'd second that the PREDATOR suits in AVP were "sometimes" dodgy looking, despite more animatronics used for facial expressions. Their seemingly being unable to close their mandibles, colour scheme for their skin tone people "liken to a cheap halloween mask".

I'd have to watch PREDATORS and AVP back to back again, but you're right that PREDATORS does have some good suit work. "The crucified predator" was one of few wow moments in the 2010 film.

Overall though, suits do not maketh a good movie. PREDATORS has moments that are Uwe Boll tier.

Okay sure, if Uwe Boll was in any way a competent filmmaker.

Nothing in Predators is Uwe Boll tier and I'm not even a big fan of the film.

Absolutely.

In my opinion, in comparing Nimrod's work in Predators to other directors, Boll seems too low a tier to me. Paul Anderson is one step above that but I personally wouldn't stop there. Who's a name with a body of work above Paul Anderson. McG maybe?

One of the best podcasts I've heard from you guys. Really great listen. Nimrod was so candid and generous with his thoughts and side notes.

Makes me appreciate Predators even more. Gonna watch it again really soon.

Well done Ryan & Aaron.

Finally gave this a listen and I agree with @Prez that this has to be one of the best 'casts yet! Great interview guys. Really cool that Nimrod read some of the comics growing up!

@Hicks I had a good laugh at your reaction when Nimrod said people argue over cinema as fiercely as they do politics  :D

100%

So was nearly everything.

Good podcast, Nimrod seems like a decent guy who respects others' opinions.
I like Predators and I think its decent edition to the franchise.
I feel there is some trolling going on this thread though, I mean how can someone say the suits in AVP/AVP-R were better than Predators? The reason why the aliens were always in the shadows in requiem was probably because the suits don't really look good. I mean from a craftsman perspective, it still better than anyone could build at home, but as a good alien aesthetic? it wasn't in my opinion. They worked in Resurrection but not in AVP/AVP-R. The Pred suits were not the best in the first AVP either, especially the face and eyes. Predators looked far better in Predators than AVP.

Even if it was just trolling for the sake of trolling I still think that bit was pretty rude.

It's mockery,
of another user's unfounded perspective.

Referring to someone as "(name) of (country)" as a farcical slur is f**kin comedy gold tbh. The fact that you can add a "the" because of this guys particular name just ramps it up. Unfounded, undeserved, yet hilarious.

Ridgetop and Hicks: Excellent job!  Nimrod Antal, thank you so much for doing this interview, for sharing your recollections and insights about your experience making the film. I enjoyed Predators a lot and would have loved to see the sequel.

Fighting the Brody is a good name for a band.

Excellent interview as always gentlemen! I have always loved Predators. I'm sure some might disagree but overall this movie is right up there with the original for me. The tone of this movie is so akin to the original because it really brought a sense of wonder and awe to the predator. It really expanded the mythos without trying to hard and creating controversies within fandom. It had new predators, with new tactics  and armor which really gave them their own character. I loved that this film took itself seriously too. it wasn't trying to hard to be funny or silly.  Great job to everyone who worked on this film.
By the way. Something that always intrigued me. What does Hanzo the Yakuza guy say In Japanese when he first picks up the samurai sword? In English it almost sounds like Coro kabashi?

I don't know, I don't think it's intelligible regardless.
