Title: Predator Movie Filming February 2017
Post by: Darkness on Oct 25, 2016, 07:31:37 PM
New interview with Shane Black. Says they're filming February now and explains why it is R-Rated.

Quote"Right now we're looking at probably beginning to mid February. I'm heading up to Vancouver in a week or two to go into a serious pre-production, so we're on the cusp."

"I think the Predator movies have slightly veered from typical sci-fi in that there is a sort of thriller aspect to them. I think it should be scary, I think it should be funny, and I think ultimately it should be wondrous and about perceiving things that human beings very seldom get a chance to see... I don't mean movie audiences I mean characters in the movie. I'm not saying the movie will be nothing anyone's seen before (laughs)."

"I think it'll be interesting to get a group of credible guys—the hallmark of the first one is you have guys together that are kinda funny and self-referential and also very tough. I don't know that we're going to deviate over much from that, but there are at least a couple of factors that we've deliberately chosen to make it not just that group of buff, tough guys."

"Fox has been very cooperative. I mean part of it is the success they had with Deadpool, but I also made a case—and I think they agreed—that fans of the Predator generally, probably aren't looking to go to see a PG-13-rated version of it. It would be more of a letdown if it was sort of tailored to a family friendly audience than if it were allowed to play out to the same scale and level that the first R-rated one did."

I can hear the folk over at IMDB are probably crying already.  :laugh:

Glad to see Black come out and give an update. Was getting a little worrisome with the uncertainty.

I'm just glad it wasn't a much longer delay. February will get here soon enough I suppose.

Overall this sounds good. I like what he's saying about getting a group of credible guys with priority not being simply how buff they are. It doesn't seem like he's worried as far as casting goes so I'm feeling optimistic again. I have a feeling he will surprise us.

Post by: BishopShouldGo on Oct 25, 2016, 08:17:48 PM
Definitely not the rating, look at DEADPOOL and for goodness' sake, LOGAN. A Wolverine movie! Without Wolverine in the title. They're in the risky business for sure.

The funny thing is, all Shane needs is that one A-lister to commit to the lead role, then other credible people will join in too. It'll cause a trickle-down effect.

So I guess Benicio's schedule was still full in February...strange.

They are now heading into pre-production? What the f**k have they done over the past year then? I really do think there was some kind of conflict going on, with the rewrites and such things. Strange, the whole thing.

Still wouldn't surprise me to see Fox push this towards a PG-13 rating. Once they get their editor on the job they could easily go against Black's wishes.

The article mentioning Benicio Del Toro dropped of also mentioned the filming was postponed to february.
They are obviously still looking for actors who fits the characters or they're waiting for some busy actors to be free.
They want big names.Good news.

Dammit. I was hoping the cast has been developing over the last few months and kept under wraps.

Either he's lying and they haven't found actors willing to commit or they actually haven't been looking for anyone beyond the lead at this point.

I'd rather see Boyd than the Rock in all honesty. Johnson hasn't led a single thing I've liked.

At least with Boyd (if he does a good job) there is the likelihood he'd commit to the franchise and not have a packed schedule like Johnson with his Jumanji nonsense.

It's a gamble but Boyd had better be great in Logan if he wants his name to carry more weight by 2018.

I don't know what Predator fans are so worried about in regards to casting! You've got an A-list bonafide master director in Shane Black helming it. He's always gonna be the real coup. With him you're almost guaranteed a good movie. Just pray it gets to February and he's still on board.

He's the main ingredient, and the movie could be full of nobodies and it'd still be amazing. An A-lister though, for some of us, is just the very nice cherry on top.

Shane Black's inclusion is immensely validating for Predator fans, as he's an A-list filmmaker that sees the potential the franchise has AND is willing to step up to the plate to do something about it. Most Predator fans have been conditioned to thinking a Predator movie is MERELY a small, simple movie about 8 people getting knocked off one by one. That's not okay.

It'd just be nice if we had that sort of validation with A-list talent in FRONT of the camera, too. Downey Jr., Paltrow, Crowe, Gosling, all these people trusted Shane Black. It'd just be nice if that sort of caliber of person trusted him when it just so happens to be Predator Part Six.

I have confidence in Shane Blake. As long as they take their time and write a good script things should be okay. The problem today is that there are so many plot holes in movies (Prometheus). Hopefully they will not make these errors with this film.

I find that comment a little surprising too. I do have to wonder what else has been going on because according to the interview with Collider they haven't officially even entered pre-production yet. Can't help but wonder what he's been doing or wonder if ADI have been working on the film unofficially in prep?


Another update re: the cast -

QuoteYou know, at some point we might beef up Mr. Holbrook a little bit, give him a physical workout schedule. That's what we all had to do on the first Predator! We had to become a slightly more exaggerated, beefy version of ourselves. It's a shame -- schedules just could not allow us to proceed in any way that met our start date that we insisted on with Benicio. But we do have this wonderful actor! That's the good news.

[Boyd Holbrook] is a guy who is fantastic, and we're gonna beef up the rest of the cast, and make announcements very soon about the members of this team that we're setting up. And it's all people I really want, and want to work with. It's going to be a very exciting cast.

Good news all around then. Shane casts very carefully and with them pushing the filming back to feb., Holbrook doesn't look like a last minute solution anymore, he really seems to think he's a great choice for this.

He could just be lying (benevolently.) For example, Mark Frost said quite sincerely in interviews throughout 2012-2014 that he had never spoken to David Lynch about doing any new Twin Peaks, and when the new series was actually announced it turned out they'd been planning it since 2011. Sometimes you just have to lie outright to protect whatever's going on behind the scenes, or to avoid disappointing some people if things don't pan out.

True. true. It's certainly a possibility. Seems like an odd lie though. I mean, we obviously know he's working on it and they're casting.

Is there a chance the actors rumored to have been offered the role were never approached to begin with? I'm not familiar with the reliability of some of these scoops so excuse me if I'm missing something.

Nothing confirmed, no. Just comments from a fairly reputable source. Aside from Holbrook and del Toro, I don't think Black ever spoke about the cast.


Oh and Fred Dekker confirmed Curtis Jackson was being considered for a role.

Totally depends on the role he's being considered for. One thing is for sure, they don't cast 50 for his acting, maybe they just need a tough guy soldier with a certain physicality, for that, he would be good, the guy is ripped.

Plus, whether you like him or not, he's got a huge fanbase behind him, making it totally understandable to be an option with them wanting to "beef up the supporting cast".

QuoteYou know, at some point we might beef up Mr. Holbrook a little bit, give him a physical workout schedule. That's what we all had to do on the first Predator! We had to become a slightly more exaggerated, beefy version of ourselves. It's a shame -- schedules just could not allow us to proceed in any way that met our start date that we insisted on with Benicio. But we do have this wonderful actor! That's the good news.

[Boyd Holbrook] is a guy who is fantastic, and we're gonna beef up the rest of the cast, and make announcements very soon about the members of this team that we're setting up. And it's all people I really want, and want to work with. It's going to be a very exciting cast.

Good news all around then. Shane casts very carefully and with them pushing the filming back to feb., Holbrook doesn't look like a last minute solution anymore, he really seems to think he's a great choice for this.

Except 50 cents being considered and meeting Shane once, so far it's allright.
Totally depends on the role he's being considered for. One thing is for sure, they don't cast 50 for his acting, maybe they just need a tough guy soldier with a certain physicality, for that, he would be good, the guy is ripped.

Plus, whether you like him or not, he's got a huge fanbase behind him, making it totally understandable to be an option with them wanting to "beef up the supporting cast".

He wouldn't be credible as a tough guy, he wouldn't be credible as a dead corpse lying on the floor.

He got shot 10 times, even in the face, and survived in real life. Even though that has nothing to do with him being in movies, if anyone is a tough guy, it's him.

You mean the credibility of a movie about an dreadlocked alien hunter who comes to earth to hunt humans for sport?

As long as it's fun, entertaining and good looking, i'm ok with it not being credible.

Someone mentioned Godzilla here. There should be a comic book where Weyland-yutani goes to Alien homeworld and finds a 300 foot Alien Super-queen, and smuggles it back to Earth, where to breaks loose, starts terrorizing and laying eggs everywhere and soon fights Godzilla and King Kong in a 3 way match. Throw in Engineer, black goo , King Ghidorah, Mothra too for an epic crossover.

Has that actually been confirmed by the studio and/or actor reps or was that all rumored by people on twitter claiming they scooped it?

Is there a chance the actors rumored to have been offered the role were never approached to begin with? I'm not familiar with the reliability of some of these scoops so excuse me if I'm missing something.

Nothing confirmed, no. Just comments from a fairly reputable source. Aside from Holbrook and del Toro, I don't think Black ever spoke about the cast.


Oh and Fred Dekker confirmed Curtis Jackson was being considered for a role.
and you can thank me for asking him that question

It's going to be such a "painful" wait haha, I'm hoping Dark Horse will be dishing out a whole host of tie-in material like they have been with the Fire & Stone/ Life & Death stuff... maybe a few more novels too! :-D

I cannot understand, Why the production of " Predator " : 4 is taking so long , it is not in the actual filming , but the
casting etc , 2018 is the  estimated Theatrical release , .

You know.. the male pornstar and the wrestler that acted in the first Predator movie
didnt really "decrease" the quality of the film.

But i'm sure a rapper will destroy the credibility of a brand new predator film! Cant trust them rappers!

I think that scene deserves some credit, she did what she does best.
