Oh dear.
On the bright side, maybe this means they'll include a newly remastered 2D Blu-ray transfer that hasn't been DNR'd to hell and back -- with extras?
Wasn't the Ultimate Hunter Edition supposed to fix the DNR problems?

My old vhs copy of predator is still the best one imo. Sometimes low definition adds to the atmosphere of a movie, particularly old movies with dated effects.

I don't know, I thought I remembered hearing complaints about the first Blu Ray release...
The UHE is the one with supposedly all the DNR problems.
First Blu-ray was kind of a quasi-bare-upscale.

No, the first release is very solid. Lovely, film-like detail and strong colors. The UHE, on the other hand, is an abomination.
Compare jungle photography with the first release:

Ugh, so waxy and smeary.
The shots I saw were de-scaled then.
Interesting, I'd have thought 3D Alien films would have come out first.
Recently posted on the Predators facebook page. Does anyone have any ideas on what this could mean? A game, maybe?

I saw that earlier. I was thinking it might some sort of Facebook game or something like that.
My guess is that there'll be some sort of an announcement at SDCC, since the backdrop of the image is the convention site. Hopefully it's a new film, and not another mobile game!

At most, probably a next-gen video game. More likely a small Facebook or iPhone game, though.
I'd just like to see another movie.

I'd much rather have a next gen game rather than an ipod/android game.
It would have to be the best Facebook game ever to get SDCC announced. Im thinking next gen title or seqeul news.
Better be a new film, the video games are just getting old for me
Possibly a public Predator easter egg hunt of sorts.
Fingers crossed for a new film. :P

I'm leaning towards this opinion.
If this was going to be a Predator movie, we would've heard about it long ago through various media feeds like LatinoReview and AICN. Not to mention we have insider contacts who are in touch with Twentieth Century Fox. So I find it very odd that we haven't heard any real news regarding a new movie. We would've heard at least an inkling that a new movie was in the works but so far that hasn't happened.
So far after PREDATORS, the studio hasn't really expressed interest in doing another movie and they've got their hands busy on PARADISE, the Prometheus sequel.
I don't think this is a new movie, and I am really hoping that it isn't. I hope to God that it isn't. At least, not a sequel to PREDATORS.
-Rakai'Thwei
New movie would be cool...if directed by someone who doesnt think he can make something that will top the original.
Rodriguez Super predator idea- I cant desribe how i hate him for such retard idea-
they were bad bloods nothing more-but thanx to him many, among Younger fans consider them to exist-it bugs me because he wanted to show that he can create something more badass than original-
he failed in that quest but younger fans still think this retard idea/new species of predator exists. It bugs me more because sometimes I do free requests and am uttery pissed when some child says "draw me a super predator doing this or that/ draw my oc SUPER PREDATOR killing this and that"...Hate it! The super pred idea*
Ok thats enought.
I would love new movie but directed by someone who can create a true sequel..rather third movie,because I still believe in Predator 2 existence (unlike rodrigues).
Ehhh those times where there is such thing as one direction,biber,montana,efron,twilight,and all this crap they serving to audiences across the world I just cant think of a new movie with our beloved Predator(or alien) to be good.
Let it be some stupid game for those smartphones or whatyoucall it devices that soo many pople are using those days, let it be some collectible stickers, even doog food in shape of a predator head, because I dunno if fans can digest another "predators" movie.Sorry,thinking about "Predators" activates my "this movie pissed me soo much" mode

Either a new movie or a next-gen game. But definitely not a small announcement. We're talking about SDCC, boys.
I actually had a dream about this last night, whether or not this was going to be either a game or even a whole new movie. In my dream, they announced that it was a game.
I'm really hoping that it's a game and not a new movie.
-Rakai'Thwei
After watching the original Predator last night it made something clear: No matter what movie they make, it will never, ever be as great as the original, maybe because of nostalgia, maybe because it is a pretty damn good movie. Everything in this movie just came together.
No matter how many movies they make, the original will always be as great. I dont understand the people going "Not another movie", why not? We have a couple of bad movies in the series already, didnt really do any damage. Looking at facebook or any other site, people still go "yay" for another movie. There is still a chance the next movie might be great, you never know.
After 5 movies i still get excited, i just cant help it. And as long as they are doing straight up sequels and not some pseudo bullshit like Prometheus, i'm all for it.
Why is this not on the main news feed? It's just all about the Aliens on this site now, huh?
Quote from: Johnny Handsome on Jul 15, 2013, 04:16:15 PM
I dont understand the people going "Not another movie", why not?
I can answer that one... Because one, PREDATORS was really nothing more than a shot for shot homage fest to the first movie while ignoring Predator 2 and after while claiming to be the "true" sequel to the original. The introduction of the Super Predators was unnecessary and half-assed in the attempt, when they were mentioned to be these nearly nigh unstoppable creatures which were to make the original, who was already a near unstoppable force, look like a piss ant when compared between the two, and instead what we got were three unskilled, unintelligent dupes. I really wanted to like PREDATORS, but I just didn't after three viewings, and I still stand by my opinion of the film and how it's treated.
I don't think Fox doesn't know how to treat the franchise anymore. Now with Arnold back in the acting scene, there is a high chance that someone might actually get him in the film and it's something I and a few others are really not looking forward to. Leave Dutch alone, the mystery of his fate is what makes him an enigma and even makes him something of a legend. Also, Arnold is somewhere nearing his seventies, probably in his mid sixties by now. And Danny Glover has already expressed that he doesn't want much to do with Predator anymore, so he's out.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say you could be right. If there is a new movie coming out, and if it's good enough to where I like, well great.. but my main concern is how the franchise is being treated by Fox.
And what was wrong with Prometheus?
-Rakai'Thwei
I hope someone is brave enough and would just try to tie all the films together (VERY WELL), like Bryan Singer is trying with the X-Men franchise.
And yes, I even mean the AVP movies too.
I'd prefer that they didn't tie either franchise explicitly to the AVP films (though I do admit to liking the first one).
I just hope that this is indeed a Predator 4 (be it a Predators followup or another individual story like the first three) and not a video game.
Well, the Alien and Predator franchises have already been kind of tied together with the AvP films whether we like it or not. So that's already been kind of done despite the fact that a majority of fans don't like the AvP films.
Also, Prometheus and PREDATORS kind of have a dubious route in continuity so tying all of the films together more than likely can't work.
-Rakai'Thwei
This should be frontpage news, I for one would love to see a Predators sequel.

I enjoy Predators as well. I'm hoping that it will be Predator 4/Predators 2 as well and we could see it by 2015. It would be cool to have Prometheus and Predators 2 in the same year.
I'll always be happy to see a new Predator movie. Even if it's bad :-[
I'll find something to like in it.

I doubt it will be a 3D re-release of Predators. Given that 3D re-releases lately like Top Gun 3D, Monster's Inc 3D, Finding Nemo 3D and Beauty and The Beast 3D did poorly then I doubt Fox will waste time on a 3D re-release that won't sell well.
I'm hearing it's for a new Blu-ray. Predator has been converted to 3D for a special 3D blu-ray that will come in a special package:

I predicted they would showcase the Predator 3d blu-ray Head edition or even some 3d footage, like they did with I, Robot last year. I just didnt think they would make such a big deal before :( Well, if Predator 3D will sell well (and it will, just like I, Robot) maybe they will greenlight a new movie.
I really would have liked to see a new Predator game. Something like what A:CM was going to be but the player assumes the role of different special forces members and having to creat tactics to outsmart a predator stalking your team.

Well luckily, most of that movie deals with the creature. I'd say 80-85% P2 was nothing but City Hunter wreaking havoc.
So it is the 3d bluray....boo-urns...well my hype train de-railed something hard.

P2 had the mix of suspense, actors, story line, it was the perfect sequel to the original. Honestly I am on the fence over which one I like better, the original or sequel but I will say that both films are highly regarded as excellent work.

The acting is bad (the guy still 'choking', even though Harrigan's got his hand about five inches away from his throat, never fails to make me laugh) and there's largely no suspense in the story, due to the audience already knowing fully well what's doing the killing (the script's biggest flaw, since it partly attempts to be a detective mystery). The attempts at forced comedy, in particular, just don't work.
The action sequences are generally very good, though, yes. Aside from the weirdness of Bill Paxton seemingly throwing a golf ball for no apparent reason... :) Stuff like King Willy's death, the slaughterhouse scene and things like that, however - entertaining stuff. Although, even there, the capture team behave just... Really inept. You don't get the impression that they're professionals (compare them to how Dutch's people were established and there's no contest).
Just my opinion, though. Your mileage may vary.

We may not know what the f*** we're dealing with, but we know Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer killed one of these creatures, and he has left behind clues to help us beat these bastards. Stay tuned for further intel. #HUNTthePREDATOR

Well luckily, most of that movie deals with the creature. I'd say 80-85% P2 was nothing but City Hunter wreaking havoc.
I doubt it featured that heavily. :)
Quote from: AliceApocalypse on Jul 16, 2013, 11:26:00 PM
P2 had the mix of suspense, actors, story line, it was the perfect sequel to the original. Honestly I am on the fence over which one I like better, the original or sequel but I will say that both films are highly regarded as excellent work.
The acting is bad (the guy still 'choking', even though Harrigan's got his hand about five inches away from his throat, never fails to make me laugh) and there's largely no suspense in the story, due to the audience already knowing fully well what's doing the killing (the script's biggest flaw, since it partly attempts to be a detective mystery). The attempts at forced comedy, in particular, just don't work.
The action sequences are generally very good, though, yes. Aside from the weirdness of Bill Paxton seemingly throwing a golf ball for no apparent reason... :) Stuff like King Willy's death, the slaughterhouse scene and things like that, however - entertaining stuff. Although, even there, the capture team behave just... Really inept. You don't get the impression that they're professionals (compare them to how Dutch's people were established and there's no contest).
Just my opinion, though. Your mileage may vary.
You have good points, P2 is not without its faults.
I felt the suspense of " whoa a Predator in the city" and thought Glover was the right contrast to Dutch's team eliminating the rerun effect. Also the 80's was big guns, big muscles then we switch to the 90's with a street smart cop. I liked the little bits of comedy, but thats just personal taste. You have to admit the subway scene was awesome :)
Have either of you read the P2 novel? If not I'd read it because it handles the detective stuff a lot better. But yes no matter what the script is flawed. But I still think its a worthy sequel.
Here's an old topic about what went wrong with P2 and it also covers A Nightmare on Elmstreet 5.

I have to agree with what others have said. If it was a movie, we'd have heard more about it by now. Nothing stays so tightly under wraps in this industry anymore. Bummer though, I was kinda hoping for a new film.
Quote from: Bender1988 on Jul 15, 2013, 08:36:54 AM
New movie would be cool...if directed by someone who doesnt think he can make something that will top the original. Rodriguez Super predator idea- I cant desribe how i hate him for such retard idea-they were bad bloods nothing more-but thanx to him many, among Younger fans consider them to exist-it bugs me because he wanted to show that he can create something more badass than original- he failed in that quest but younger fans still think this retard idea/new species of predator exists.
It was a bad idea with even worse execution. Bad bloods/renegades would've been fine. "Black super predators" who don't even feel predator-ish are really lame
Predator 3D release??
Totally worth the hype :)
I was really hoping for a game because in reality theres only a hand full of predator only games that came out while the Alien has had tons of stuff. Personally I think the predator franchise is being short handed while Alien is constantly thrown in everyones face with too much crap in it "cough"A:CM,prometheus,resurrection"cough" If it could possibly be a new movie I want it to expand on predators(but not IT the concept though) As I want to know,maybe the berserkers werent bad boods but a deep tribe feud where they shed blood that the others did to theres giving an explantion as why they hung the jungle hunter.
If the movie would suck the only thing that keeps me watching is the design the pred has,like p2 it sucked but citys design was badass which kept me interested,predators was good to my personal taste and I thouht berserker's design was cool because the mask made him looked pissed at something and his face was scarier looking than any pred ive seen so far IMO. So theres my 2 cents on the subject.

When you come to think of it, a 3D Predator Blu-Ray was probably the most likely of all the new suggestions; thoughts of a movie, video game, or even comic seem to good to be true at this point. :( I just lament that this will probably not be released in theatres which is too bad cause I don't have a 3D TV.

Meh.
How much are they charging for that?
f**k the head, but i really like the packaging. Price is 129,99 $

Blu-Ray only, at least thats the current plan.
It was also announced that there will be a new remaster for the 3d version...So hopefully there might also be one for the 2d version seeing as how there is a 2d version included with the 3d one???
QuoteIt was also announced that there will be a new remaster for the 3d version
Not really, they just said "All-New 3D Transfer", which could really mean the old master converted to 3d, because thats what makes it "all-new", technically speaking.
I dont have a problem with the Hunter Edition, i still think the movie looks really pleasing on that one, but i wouldnt mind seeing the movie redone in 4K with a little less noise reduction here and there.
I never had a problem with the grain, thats what movies from the 80s look like, but the print was always in really bad shape (dropouts and print damages were heavy on the DVD and 2008 blu-ray), the UHE doesnt have that, they restored a lot of that frame by frame and the effort shows.
I would get this if they added modern digital effects to spruce up the film; I never was a fan of the original Predator, one part was because of the outdated special effects and the other bigger part was that I never appreciated the Rambo mood of the film. :) But, a remaster of the film will probably get me into seeing the film the way true fans of the movie do; I really appreciated the Jurassic Park 3D remaster and I didn't regret a second of it.

I hate to admit but Alien franchise dwarfs Predator franchise by a huge margin. Not only the first film set sci fi horror bar, the sequel set another bar which is something Predator 2 failed to do. Contrary to fans' opinion, Predator 2 did not do well financially and critically. That's why it took so much time to get another Predator movie let alone game after failure that was Concrete Jungle. Don't get me wrong. I like the game but it is not something to worship much. I mean even AVP franchise beat Predator. Just look at number of threads on each forum. Predator franchise is not that big to warrant financial success. That's why companies are hesitant on taking risk. I really wish someone with gut take Predator game seriously. We can only hope.
Well that freaking sucks! :'( :'(

Just what I've been looking for: a way to waste $130!!!
I'd buy it if it ACTUALLY came with the 3d Blu-Ray.
Damn, this really makes me wish I could have gone to SDCC. :'(
I'd only be excited if it was a 3d release in theaters. Jurassic Park 3D was done splendidly. Which was surprising.
At this point, I wouldn't hold my breath and that's what makes me so ANGRY. >:(
jessie venturas chest exploding in 3D.. mask taking off and roaring at arnold in 3D.. even the stick around blade in the guerrillas chest.. im wondering if the waterfall scene will be improved by 3D . this feels like gears winding up for something bigger down the road to me.
I think the Choppas going over the jungle would look good in 3D
Don't get your hopes up. Seperating the picture in Predator into several layers will or should be a pain in the ass. It's not a case of making a building stand out in 3D, which has one straight concise wall with right angles, it's a case of thousands of leaves and other asymmetric vegetation. That's a lot of work.
It's not a question of whether or not it can be done - Jurassic Park proved that it can (e.g. raptors in the jungle scenes), it's a question of whether or not they half assed it.
Chances of a new Predator film look bleak. The underwhelming box office results for the last film just aren't enough for Fox to move forward with a franchise that is floundering (film wise). With their plate full of other projects, I'm sure a Predator movie is the last thing on their minds. It's a shame because the popularity of merchandising, I assume, is great. NECA figures, novelty items, literature (despite not having anything recent). I just wish they would take a leap of faith and give a good director and good writer an opportunity to spark some life into it. Plenty of source material out there to choose from if nothing original! Spruce up one of these graphic novel or novel stories. Alas, I'm sure we've seen the last of the Preds on the big screen. :(

Don't be daft. Nowhere in my comments did I allude to a new film being up to me, nor do I think it would be up to Arnold. That's a studio call.
i guess sarcasm is not popular with you 2. its more to do with arnold then anyone here.. of course fox is the owner ..daft? calling the kettle black much?.. my point is most of you sound hopeless about a new WELL made predator movie. im optimistic about it. fox wants arnold, arnold is in terminator 5 with a lead roll.. he said hes discussed predator as well. leads me to think he is our only option at this point

if arnold has been pursued for a predator film thats plot relied on dutch as a center piece id guess it was up to him. unless they would just replace arnold.
what ive been wondering for years is, why doesn't fox sell predator since fox is not really doung much with it other then repackaging the original films. let another studio try to milk something out of it?? hollywood is run by spoiled, greedy, idiot children , thats why.
Quotemost of you sound hopeless about a new WELL made predator movie.
It arguably hasn't happened since 1987, and after four failed attempts at making good movies I'm not sure I'd call people hopeless.
Fox is not the bad guy. They ask Rodriguez to make a further movie. The problem is that Rodriguez have to many projekts and not enough time. When Sin City 2 come in the cinemas, this would be 9 years after part 1.
Does anybody know if Fox will be present at the NYCC in October? I live in New Jersey and for obvious reasons couldn't make the SDCC where they were selling preorders of the Predator 3D set (it being halfway around the country); I may, however, be interested in taking a look if it comes to NYCC. And for that matter, when does Predator 3D come out anyway?

Predator 2, seems much more violent and condensed than P1.

That's why Hudson wrote 'arguably'.
'
Requiem' was more violent than Anderson's effort, too, but most people prefer the former, if they're forced to choose. Violence, on its own, doesn't make a good film as a whole. Just memorable individual scenes.
For instance, the down time between action scenes can be appreciated in '
Predator', but I'm not sure most casual viewers enjoy the same filler content in the sequel to nearly the same degree.
Still, P2 is considered good film by most people. I love it as much as P1, though I understand the difference between two. P1 is classic but no sequel to it, no matter how good, will be classic.
Most people I've encountered who shit on Predator 2 are the type who rarely watch any movies and think that it's just more 'knowledgeable' to shit on a sequel just because it's a sequel. An example is (and this was before Die Hard 4) is people who would speak of 'bad sequels' when mentioning Die Hard. Yeah, all three Die Hard movies were good. Not as good as the first, but to adamantly state that they aren't good at all is just annoying.
Or others who say P2 sucks because of no Arnold. What? Bullshit.
Great movie that did well to NOT suck next to the original.
