100 Threads and one just doesnt know where to look for new stuff.
So this thread is going to be for little informations here and there that arent worth posting new threads all the time.
I'm going to start:
Big Island Weekly has an article up about the new movie "Predators", to be directed by Robert Rodriguez, filming here on the east side of the Big Island. Coincidentally, I have been looking for a new place to call home here in the Puna district, and actually met the owners of one of the homes being considered for a shooting location! It was a beautiful home located in the Fern Acres area.
From the MLS listing for the home: "Big bonus...a stones throw to the inside of the world famous Kazumura Lava Tube. Longest lava tube in the world approx. 40 miles long."
He had a 30 ft ladder setup and you could go right in it! Apparently they are interested in using his entry point to the lava tube for a location. He even had a big informational packet from the studio.
Like i said, nothing fancy, just little tidbits here and there.
Also there is Danny Trejos official Twitter site:
http://twitter.com/DANNY_TREJO
Back in LA for one day ...2morrow going 2 KILL some PREDATORS!!!
In hawaii filming predators ...jungle...
Nothing fancy but maybe worth checking out from time to time:

nice work dude...
judging by Danny Trjeo's twitter, looks like the twin uzis strapped to his back are enabled with god mode and unlimited ammo, cant wait to see how many preds he's gonna take out while laughing really loud and screaming "Say hello to my little friend, Cuz i'm a mexiCAN... ::)
Also i just saw a report that Nimrod Antal, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo and Adrian Brody were seen having dinner in Hilo together from multiple sources.
They asked Trejo how the shoot is going and he said that everything looks really great so far, unfortunately i cant find the link anymore :-\
fair enough, mate you're on the ball with all these little bits of info ;D
cool stuff man.
Intresting stuff.
Nice info but what I think we need is a proper FAQ page for new members and casual visitors alike.
Hum I'm new and I just suscribed here to post this interesting link I found on a blog, where you can see Brody and Trejo at the gym in Hawaï :

Hey Pinkman, sweet find! ;D
Maybe this will quiet some of the haters!
P.S. Notice the cuts on Adrien's right arm?
Very good find. I wonder what else is floating around the internet.

Brody looks a bit stoned ;D
Nice thread and very cool find there,Brody seems getting more muscles there :o
Brody is in sick shape!
Who ever said he was "cut like a boxer", was pretty much spot on.
Nice find.
Glad to see Brody is in great shape for this, combined with his acting abilities this is going to be great.l

Who's to say he didn't bulk up? Though he doesn't really need to, given his character.
True, true...His character doesn't really require him to be strong or bulky. So I'm not to worried about that or anything. Just from most of the films I've seen him in, he always has some comedic side to his acting, which I'd rather not see for his character in this film. All I'm hoping for, is that he can play the role he's been given well and really appear as if he's actually a serial killer.
So the f**k what? Isn't that the whole point of being an actor? To be versatile and play different roles?
Watch him in Traffic if you are in that much denial.
WOW...What's your problem??....I'm not in "DENIAL" about him playing the character. Topher Grace is a very talented actor in my opinion. All I'm saying is I'm more so curious to see if he can play this role is all, but I can have SOME doubts about it. I have NO judgments about the film really, not until I see more. So I don't know why your overreacting about what I said but....ok. that's cool I guess.

Anyway, I'm starting to have a good feelings about this movie. Now I'm scared! ;D

Denial would be the wrong word, yeah. My most sincere apologies.
And about him nailing the role or not? I guess we'll find out, won't we? I mean, I'm pretty sure Rodriguez had the same questions we did, it's only a knee-jerk reaction to such a left-field name in this kind of movie. I think this kind of worrying is absolute, it's very general. It's not a specific worry. You can be happy/unhappy/indifferent about anybody and anything that's announced for a movie, without having seen anything to judge by.
So yeah, for some reason, Rodriguez and co. picked him, so he must have a Badass card up his sleeve.
Wonder if, when Siggy was cast in Wall-E, anyone said "WTF??! She doesn't look like a computer!!?!" ;D
Touche'!
If people havent been check Danny Trejo's twitter. There is and update on it.
"Hawaii ...still filming pred ... Stay tuned DT"
http://twitter.com/DANNY_TREJO
--- i dont know who knows, so i thought i might share it with this commuinty.
"Stay tuned"
Hmm...
im glad he updates, thats very cool.
Agreed, only I'd wish he'd give just a lil' summit' away.
I most definitely hope that Trejo is not going to kill a Predator, let alone Predator/s. Hopefully, just a random update from him.
What would you write?
"Going to Hawaii to get killed by a Predator!"?
He probably was just looking forward to the shoot and was in a good mood, and since there are going to be 3 Predators hunting them he's not going to kill 2 of them anyway, at least not when your name isn't Anderson.

It's all good, just a little misunderstanding is all.
Yeah I completely agree, I do feel more comfortable about the cast because of the fact Rodriguez is incorporated into the film.
For whatever it's worth, here is also Derek Mears official Twitter page:

I think the way he is now looks perfect for the part,he dint need more muscles he got a good six pack going on so that's enough.
Chest isn't bad too.
What's he doing in that second pic? Looking at his dick?
Nice slice of information though. The lava tubes sound really interesting. If they're just doing the entrance I could see a shot of a predator standing at the mouth of it.
That's the 3rd pic of him I have seen of him in Hawaii and he is always clean shaved. Shouldn't he have a beard going since he's on a Alien planet w/o his razor.
Might've shaved before getting kidnapped.
Sweet find! Keep 'em coming!
Damn he reminds me of Bear Grylls a lot!

WTF?
I just googled for Predators 2010 and there was a site that had the character Gary Keyes listed for Predators.
I went to IMDB (forgive me father for i have sinned) and there he is:
Gary Keys played by Steven Haar.
Does that mean they do tie this together with Predator 2 after all?
What a coincidence, one of his favourite actors is Gary Busey. Does he play his son in Predators?

False.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1417636/
Not even a real actor, or an extra, at best. Look at his credit for Friday the 13th Part 2. Steven Cunningham? Sean Cunningham was the name of the director/creator of the original.
I know, that's what made it suspicious when i saw it.
BUT, it could still be true, just look at the movie Death Machine: Jack Dante, John Carpenter, Sam Raimi, Yutani, Weyland, Scott Ridley.
All of those characters are named of Directors or the company in Alien.
So either its a homage or someones making a big joke.
Big joke. I think they'd hire a better actor with at SOME credibility than just some extra nobody.
hmm...not sure about this.....bud the idea of P2 continuity sounds interesting

Oh, horseshit. For all you know it's a ten second bit part like Yutani at the end of AvPR.
Besides, Sheriff Bracke in the first F13 reboot was named after the guy who wrote Crystal Lake Memories, which covered the making of most of the F13 movies. Par for the course to call someone Steve Cunningham in the sequel.
Certainly the actor is a hoax, but maybe this is a place holder for someone that is rally going to play Keyes`s relative.
Because there is no photo or information about him.

There are a shitload of people on that site that don't have a photo, just scramble through the cast of
Predator for example.
And besides, there are some information's on his site including date of birth, biography and his past roles in movies and TV shows.
And yet after all of those performances there is no single picture of him? Suspicious. Even if so, then still I don`t want Keyes related character to be played by some unknown joe.
QuoteAnd yet after all of those performances there is no single picture of him?

Dude look at the trivia, it's just a list of his favorite things, and how he got to meet Jason Statham. :D And how come he's the only cast member to not be announced on an official website? Just on IMDB, which ANYBODY can edit? Remember when Michael Jai White was on the cast list?
I know i know, like i said, its very suspicious.

I hardly think they're going to go and make a big deal about every single person who's cast in the film.

Seems like an important enough character to me for at least genre websites to acknowledge. We'll see. :)
Like I said, if the most interesting information is that he's met Jason Statham and a list of his favorite movies then, well...you get the point.
Gary Keyes
1.Gary Busey
2. Peter Keyes
Played by mysterious Steven Haar! It is hoax or place holder for 100%.

Not at all. From my end you sound like Griker on one of his conspiracy rants. I'm pretty lost.
Then just wait it out and watch this get debunked.
We'll find out eventually anyway.
Filming for the movie Predators will close Kolekole Beach Park to the public on Tuesday, October 27, according to the County of Hawaii.
Shooting on the 20th Century Fox's $40-million "reboot" of the Predator franchise reportedly started along the Hamakua Coast last week. The movie is being produced by Robert Rodriquez, and stars Adrien Brody as the film's central character.
Much like the original cult sci-fi classic Predator (starring Arnold Schwartnegger), this movie will involve hunted humans running through jungles, which makes the windward side of the Big island an ideal filming location. Reports have also suggested that scenes in the new film will be set in an "alien" jungle. Does Kolekole Beach Park's "otherworldly" beauty look like the landscape of another planet?
Fans of the sci-fi series, and Kolekole, will have to wait until July 7, 2010 to find out. That's when "Predators" is slated to be released in theaters.

I NEED MORE PICS!!! cant wait to see some new Predators in set.
Each piece of info that comes out is really building up my expectations of this film. I just need to see if they got the Predator designs right to seal the deal...
Yeah, this is all great stuff, but the one peice of news that would send me over the edge, in a good way, is that Alan Silvestri would indeed be returning to do the score. That would be so damn amazing.
QuoteNot really an information, because the writer doesn't say anything new

Kolekole Beach Park did you?
No? Because then it's an information, and a new one at that. Plus it was the first chance to see some on set pictures as it was fairly public place.

Hopefully the CGI they are talking about is the Predator being cloaked. They don't do the colored suit thing anymore do they?

There are plenty of cinematic techniques one can use to make them look huge.

Where is Johny handsome, It`s time for him to get worried too. Average sized guys as Predators who are going to be edited in by CGI? I'm just not sure. In both P1/2 Preds were normally played on set and it looked good. Why to change it?
Also Predator dogs are confirmed. I wonder how they`ll look?

Why are you already worried? You don't even know how they look or how those guys were used for the shooting there and for what purpose, you just have a vague report who saw the crew hanging out, and the movie is now officially crap ? Amazing, guys. Besides, the report also says there was no "predators" involved during the filming of the scenes apparently, so...
Wait for stills and teasers before jumping to conclusions... I'll accept the critics when it will be based on something concrete. Now I'm just hearing kids whining.
It was definitely mentioned that Predators were not involved in the shooting of the film in Hawaii. In this case, it is possible that the average sized actors wearing Predator costumes were used as reference points and to help guide the actors. It is also possible that some of the crew members just showed up at the bar in the costumes KNB designed just for the heck of it and are really not playing the Predators.
If you really think about it though, we really will not notice the Predators' size in any sequence other than those that place them in shots that consist of the humans alongside them for size comparison. With a few camera tricks involved, we will not notice the Predators' actual height in POV shots, scenes where the humans aren't in the same shot as the Predator, sequences where the Predator is crouching, running or jumping from tree to tree.
If the Predators are actually played by average sized guys then KNB will have to use scaling techniques such as those used in LOTR to make the humans look smaller or the Predators look bigger. One of the few merits of RR's draft, the Black Predator was described to be 'bigger and impossibly strong' so if the SBP is the same as the 'Black Predator' which is likely then KNB will surely have to use scaling techniques to make the Predator look a lot taller.
It was mentioned that the Predators are going to be inserted through CGI for scenes completed in the Hawaii shoot and this is somewhat of a worrisome factor but I think these scenes are composed of cloaked Predators running or doing incredible jumps alongside POV shots. Considering that the character of Nolan is yet to be cast, they may not have hired any actors to play the Predator yet as well. Hence in this case it would be a good idea to contact RR and have him bring Ian Whyte onboard. Now we all are assuming that Derek Mears is playing the Predator but he himself isn't revealing what part he is playing so for all we know he could be playing the baddie Royce hunts down during the opening.
Anyway, there was some good news present in those articles - the weapons. Royce is definitely going to kick some serious butt with the AA-12 shotgun which is a killer weapon and possibly the most deadly shotgun ever made! Check this out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ebtj1jR7c (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ebtj1jR7c)
I don't think Royce will even consider melee combat against a Predator given the bad ass killing machine he has on his hands!
Exactly Preddy, people no need to get our panties in a bunch just yet!
as much as i hate it i think they are going to do what they did in 300. the guy that was King Xerxes was only 6'3 but the made him look like he has 7'6 when he stood next to King Leonidas.if they make it as good as this we should be okay.

QuoteWhere is Johny handsome, It`s time for him to get worried too. Average sized guys as Predators who are going to be edited in by CGI? I'm just not sure. In both P1/2 Preds were normally played on set and it looked good. Why to change it?
I'm not worried at all, because how is it possible that they weren't actual Predator costumes on the big island yet the actors who played them?
Those were just used as reference for the actors to have something on the set, and if that means that they will be cloaked later on or digitally enhance them to make them look tall I'm all for it.
You don't notice stuff like that anymore anyway.
And from the dog description scene it looks like they brought in also dogs from earth, because they find cages with parachutes attached to them, so either they brought in dogs from earth or alien dogs from another planet.
All looks good.

Good thing we're not in front of Arnie anymore.
nice...
are you going to point out next that they could use stools instead of apple crates?
QuoteWhy is that the only alternative?
It's not - it's just the most frequent complained about alternative.

True.
But 6'9" guys on apple crates didn't even work for AvP. And that was against regular sized people.

yeah
clearly one of the things the second movie did better than first was the predator's appearance, pretty sure the guy who played wolf was 7 foot plus
It was Ian Whyte, who was also in the first AvP.
They just slimmed the suits right back.

Stunt men.
so the first movie had Ian Whyte and shorter stuntmen (who were still tall tho), i see
looked up Ian on wiki and he's a seven footer

I understud that those were cages of humans from earlier hunts. You don`t really think that they were parachuted on earth- like parachutes in earth- like way? It appears that BSP and crew prefere to hunt on this particular planet insted of prey`s homeworld.

That almost looks like a shot from a computer-animated film. Please, no.
um... I'm confused. are you guys bitchin and moaning all cuz they'll use CGI in the new Predator movies?
personaly I don't care. as long as I get to see the Predator scull-Rip some poor SOB. I can care less about usage of CGI.
Usage of CGI doesn't bother me as much as it used to with these movies. sometimes when you Have to do it with CGI it makes sence to use it. and besides, CGI looks great when done right, and its especualy pays off when you can't tell the diffrence.
Quoteare you guys bitchin and moaning all cuz they'll use CGI in the new Predator movies?
No, the concern seems to be more that CG Predators will be used in favour of dudes in suits.
You idiots. Of course it's going to be dudes in suits. Why the hell else would KNB work on the film? To sculpt rocks?
To sculpt Predators that are then scanned into a computer.

I loved it.

I thought the concern was short-asses being used again.
Not worried about any of that information, It all sounds pretty good. No Predator use probably just means that they are cloaked for that part of the movie which is obviously a mirror of the original.
As for the size, I think everyone on the planet knows a predator is bigger than a man, how they achieve it is not really a concern to me.

Even the Brothers Stinky and pinky got the predator right (without face) , I'd really doubt someone of RR's credentials is going to f**k up the dimensions of the creature. It worked 20 years ago, it worked 1 year ago, it's going to work this time.
Has it been confirmed that the Predators are completley CGI for these scenes,or were they just not allowed to see the suits?
im sure in the original the majority of it was filmed without a predator in sight . its really the only last 10 min that dutch is face to face with it, so im sure when they say cgi its going to be more clocked stuff they are talking about, most of the kills in the original are from far away from the victims and when they have a close call death scene in this movie im sure it will be with guys in suits against green screens back in the studio.

But you can't have those kind of shots the whole movie. It just screams "He's not as tall as him". Those gimmick shots can't be spread throughout the whole movie, now.

TBH, I'd rather have 1990 style.
I don't think 300 should be used to justify cgi predators in Predators. 300 has a very "fake" look, though some would prefer to say "stylized"

My point is they're not using tall people for the Predators, according to the report. So given this series' track record, it's going to look like six foot people on apple crates. Which I, and I would assume many others, don't want to see.

Personally I'm not buying it, I'm putting my trust in the director and producer in that they can get the basics correct, however it's done.
We have all been wrong before though, just have to wait and see....
I'm hoping I'm wrong.
But it's par for the course - short dudes in suits on crates look like short dudes in suits on crates.
Stools.
Only if they have wheels.
I don't mind one big, jacked up on steroids Predator. I like the variation of the species, there are taller ones, smaller ones, bigger and slimmer ones, different colorized ones etc.
My Beef with the AvP's was that there was a fat Predator and they all had to be fat, no matter how much armour etc, they all looked the same.
In AvP-R it was basically wolf with different armour parts and different masks, but the same slender body, the same colorization etc.
They have to do it like in Predator 2, show various Predators:

So i gotta say i don't mind a bulky Predator or a black colored super Predator that is even taller and stronger than the others, as long as they don't make them all like that.
They shouldn't be portrayed as an army, they should be portrayed as if everyone has a different history and origin.
Just like humans.

You missed the point. Just like humans in variety, not in behaviour.
Maybe Derek Mears just plays a short Predator, don't get your panties in a knot yet, wait for the rest of the Preds.
Its no secret anymore that the official shooting script leaked, so i've googled a bit for feedback (Not the actual script as i don't want to read it anyway) and came across this site:
www.scriptgirl.net
She read the script and loved it, this is what she had to say on her Twitter page:
Just read the new Predators script. despite being demographically unsuitable, I loved the damn thing. Full of surprises and carnage. McTiernan-ites will be pleased.
Brody's actually perfect. his role is not what you expect, way better than all that AvP dreck.
So that would be another positive feedback for the script.
Hopes are getting up.
Nice :) more good news.

They know that we`ve seen the sciript, and didn`t like it, so they suspended whole project - boohoo! ;D

I can think of two simple changes that would make the script ten times better.... Change the BSP to a normal but highly skilled Predator and remove those stupid dog things...
Strange Predators without rules are ok. just without black blood and minigun casters.
Honestly the black blood really doesn't bother me that much. The thing thats bothering me the most is the fact that the 2 super preds besides the BLACK one get killed a little too easy. They need to change that.
But as far as their looks go, I'm very confident KNB will stick to the original design even for Black Super Pred.
Random thing I noticed.. Again it's IMDB so grain of salt... but they have a Spydercam operator listed... Spydercam is a system that runs on wires so it can be suspended across pretty much anywhere.. Could get some really cool shots with that system
it can be used for the falcons vision or general landscape shots
indeed, should lend a nice sense of scale and scope to the movie.

Yeah I'd reckon so... I had pictured it as being more red stone but I guess that works... One thing I'll say is they're wrong about Trejo being in that shot... Also... Does Brage have bright red hair?
Very slight larger version if you click on the pic on this page http://io9.com/5415013/glimpses-of-rodriguezs-predator-planet
That would be good for totem location.

Interesting thing to note... If Brody is the first person in that picture, then he's wearing the same clothes from when he was on the phone in that pic... Maybe that's his characters outfit after all...
Although looking about it.. I don't think it's a pic of film after all...
The acid rain on the Predator planet is very selective where it falls it would seem. ;D

Interesting thing to note... If Brody is the first person in that picture, then he's wearing the same clothes from when he was on the phone in that pic... Maybe that's his characters outfit after all...
Although looking about it.. I don't think it's a pic of film after all...
it could be members of the crew or a bunch of randoms walking around.
Correct me if Im wrong but there is no scene in the script where it describes or has five of the characters walking through the alien landscape?
Spoiler
- 8 characters walking through land scape at the start of film
- 7 characters walking through landscape after Chucillos death
- 6 characters walking through landscape after African guys death
- Russian guy and Stans killed off in and around Nolands cave, so thats leaves 4 characters running through alien landscape escaping from Predators
At no point is there 5 walking or running through the landscape. Unless the script has changed?
Actors look imposed anyway. Something about their lighting doesn't seem right.
They read the same article than me, which mentioned they shot there, and just put a random photo of the location to go along with their article.
If it was a picture taken directly from the set, it'd be crowded by shitload of crew peoples.
I have been wondering if they are going to change the color of the sky in the movie, I don 't remember if they say it in the script.

No need, natural light will look better. Maybe the odd moon thrown in at night. Besides does'nt one of them notice the sun has'nt moved? (hav'nt read script) If they noticed that, they'd notice the sky's purple!

I don't mean the sky being full on purple... but you know that shade of sky we get sometimes... it's like partly cloudy but it does have a hint of purple....

I assumed the location shoots were to avoid using mattes...
It's not terribly difficult to do a combination these days.
If you have a blue sky, it's relatively simple to key it out like one would a blue screen. Then you can drop in mountains, different coloured sky, "massive, angular chunks of an alien planet, floating in space. A dying, shattered world."
All the while, the foreground elements of trees and cast have a realistic look about them and you don't have create digital or model trees or anything.
Even AvP had some beautiful matte paintings, most of the time you don't even notice them anymore.

It looks really incredibly. And it shows that in the movie everything is possible. Amazing...
Random question, but I forgot, who did the sniper chick call a "predator"? Was it Royce or Edwin?
Royce

This "Their world, their rules" is catchy, I like it.
Oh my Gosh... it's beautiful... I love it...
(This poster is probably better than the movie ;))
With a bit brighter background, green plannet surrounded be "massive chunks of alien planet" and Jet Black color of preds mask it would be master piece.
I hear Armoured is getting negative reviews. A bad sign?
I hope not.

Huh?
I know its getting luke warm reviews. However, some have praised Antal so it could be good news for Predators! :S
very true, i keep seeing positive notes for Antal's direction despite the reaction to the film overall.

Well he must have dealt with a shitty script once again, doesn't really surprise me from screen gems. I hope for him he'll never have to work with them again, what a talent wasted.
You all know Armored only had half of the budget of Predators
Quote from: chrisr232007 on Dec 09, 2009, 09:34:33 PM

No, Armored had a 20 mil budget, that's the half of what
Predators has.
I meant to say half my bad but the point i was getting to was at least we know he can do good with a bad script and low budget so that something to keep ur head up on Predators
The reviews so far all said that the direction is top notch, but that the movie ultimately suffers from the generic script with no surprises left thx to the trailer.
Yeah I agree with a lot of the reviews I've been hearing as well, Nimrod seems to be a very talented director with a unique style. I enjoyed Vacancy very much, but I haven't had a chance to see Armored yet, but I can see how the script might not be anything too special.
I did however get a change to see Kontroll recently, which I thought was a very interesting film with a creative story. So I think that this director will give Predators a very nice visual appearance, and hopefully the story is creative and flows well.

Him being more athletic than usual is a good sign, means less bulky Predator.
He's only as bulky as the thick rubber suit.
If its true - I really hope he nails every subtle movement like Ian Whyte did.
I love his performance as Jason.
Hopefully he studied the Predator character just as much as he did with Jason to give the right performance. He certainly is very passionate at what he does.

Mini Predators tidbits in this interview:
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/awards/2009/12/the-contender-qa-gregory-nicotero.html
2009 has been one of the busiest years for you in a very busy decade. This year alone, you worked on everything from "Jennifer's Body" and "Survival of the Dead" to "Public Enemies," and 2010 looks like it'll be more of the same. How do you keep that pace and keep the ideas fresh?
It's challenging. The film that I'm on right now, "Predators" -- I've worked with Robert Rodriguez [the film's co-writer and executive producer] since "Four Rooms" and "From Dusk Till Dawn," so we've had a tremendous working relationship for 14 years. I had 62 people on that crew and 13 weeks to realize all these different creature concepts on top of the last 12 months, where I went from Berlin with "Inglourious Basterds" to Albuquerque for "The Book of Eli" with Denzel Washington and David Valdez, who was the producer on "The Green Mile" and "The Time Machine," which we worked on. We wrapped that and went on set for "Piranha 3-D" for Alexandre Aja, with whom I did "The Hills Have Eyes" and "Mirrors." And then it was back to L.A. for "Sorcerer's Apprentice," and then on to "Predators." And Howard Berger spent the last six months in Australia working on "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader."
So to answer your question, I don't know how I keep all of it on track, but I've been doing it for 25 years. And I have a great crew, with a lot of people that I've worked with for decades and help me realize all the stuff that we want to do. I've always said that the first two or three weeks on a movie are the most exciting. The slate is clean, and you sit with the director and start riffing ideas and get a feel for the creative process. The director on "Predators," Nimrod Antal, was such a fan of the original "Predator," and had this great enthusiasm for the project, and that gets you charged up. When you meet with a director and they're excited, it's like the Frankenstein monster. That energy blasts you and then you start to see things coming together. You get your sculptors and your mold makers and your painters going, and the stuff comes to life. You know, that Frankenstein analogy is a good one.... (Laughs.)

I managed to find this letter from Troublemaker Studios:
Dear Neighborhood Residents,
Next week we will be filming scenes for the upcoming motion picture Predators, directed by Nimrod Antal and produced by Austin filmmaker Robert Rodriguez.
On November 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th we will be shooting behind Troublemaker Studios located at 4900 Old Manor Rd. The movie has a heavy emphasis on special effects, so we thought it important to notify all of the residents in the area that you may hear small explosions or gunfire from 7am up until 7pm, on any of the proceeding days mentioned.
We will of course be working closely with the Austin Fire and Police Departments as safety is our paramount concern.
Sincerely,
Logan Cooper
Location Manager

IMDB lists only Robert Rodriguez and his ex-wife Elizabeth Avellan. She's co produced a lot of his films, and I don't know if she is officially involved with Trouble Maker so perhaps this Predator Planet Inc is just a title for their professional partnership? IMDB doesn't mention FOX, but they own the rights so maybe they are also involved with this limited partnership.

As SM said, it's a limited partnership, and if this one is successful, I believe they want to make a couple more, though that is ultimately up to Fox if they want to involve Troublemaker Studios.
Just saw Planet Terror and loved it, and RR uses the Predator score to preview his scenes on set in this behind the scenes video.

Around 3 Minutes.
Still a powerfull core, i hope Predators has something similar.
i hope predators is nothing like grindhouse. I hope its not in the same vicinity as grindhouse, stupidest movie ever.
They are not the same and they don't even try to achieve the same purposes, Grindhouse is a pastiche. You know, there are different tones for movies. Just because he made Grindhouse, you think he can't adjust himself to another project he's working on? especially when he's not the director, but a producer who's in charge to supervise the thing.
Predators won't be like Planet terror because it doesn't suit. Oh, and Planet Terror is great fun.
Better than Tarantino's piece of shit. I loved Planet Terror.

Local Texas article with tidbits:
http://www.gonzalesinquirer.com/articles/2009/12/17/news/news01.txt
QuoteMost local residents have heard about the legend of the Swamp Monster which allegedly lives in Ottine in and around Palmetto State Park.
Well, this past week, "Swampy," as he is affectionately known by the locals, may have headed for higher ground.
That's because a major motion picture featuring the legendary "Predator" characters was being filmed at the park. Even though Swampy has never been photographed, it's probably safe to assume he would be no match for the Predators.
Predators is the title of the new movie which was being partly filmed in Ottine. It's the fifth in the Predator series, according to Logan Cooper, the location manager for the film.
In previous movies, the series was about "Alien vs. Predator," but that is all changing.
"We are trying to get away from that," said Cooper.
The production of the movie is being coordinated by Troublemaker Studios of Austin.
Cooper said the bulk of the film was shot in Hawaii, but that there were "gaps" and they needed another location to complete the filming.
A resident of Austin, Cooper said he had heard about Palmetto State Park and so they sent "scouts" to Ottine to look over the place. Though Cooper said it's "hard to find something that looks like Hawaii" in south Texas, Palmetto State Park fit the bill.
They contacted Todd Imboden, park superintendent, about a month ago and made arrangements for the filming.
The group spent this entire week setting up for the filming, which took place all in one day. They filmed in the daytime and nighttime this past Wednesday.
According to Toni Atterbury, unit publicist for Predator Planet Films, Inc., following a month of shooting in Hawaii, production is underway in Texas on Predators. After beginning filming in the jungles of the Big Island, Hawaii, production has moved to Robert Rodriguez's Austin-based facility, Troublemaker Studios. Shooting is also taking place at a variety of locations in and around Austin, including Ottine.
"Central Texas offers filmmakers a variety of extreme landscapes that are both striking and believable playing a location on an alien planet. Palmetto State Park near Gonzales is one of a handful of locations - such as McKinney Falls, Hamilton Pool and the Gorge location near Canyon Lake, that are being used to create the world of Predators," states Atterbury.
Imboden said he was amazed at just how many people were involved in the production and shooting.
There were so many trucks and people scattered around on Wednesday morning prior to the shooting, it was hard to even get down Park Road 11. Semis lined the tiny road in all directions. Workers scurried about with lights and sound equipment and just about everything you could imagine.
A "tube of death" was belching smoke across the already swamp-like landscape that is Palmetto State Park.
But access to the set and actors was almost impossible. According to various internet articles and blogs, this new Predators movie is supposed to be more like the original and has nothing to do with those nasty Aliens which were the focus for so long.
Nimr—d Antal, whose action-thriller "Armored" was recently released, is directing. Rodriguez and Elizabeth Avellˆn are the producers.
Predators stars Oscar¨-winner Adrien Brody ("The Pianist"), Topher Grace ("Spider-Man 3"), Alice Braga ("I Am Legend") and Walton Goggins ("The Shield"). Also taking on key roles are Rodriguez as stalwart Danny Trejo, who just completed a starring role in Rodriguez's "Machete," plus UFC champion Oleg Taktarov ("National Treasure"), Mahershalalhashbaz Ali ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") and Louis Ozawa ("Fair Game").
Predators, a bold new chapter in the Predator universe, stars Brody as Royce, a cold-blooded mercenary whose only allegiance is to those who pay him. He reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet ... as prey. With the notable exception of disgraced physician Edwin (Topher Grace), they are all stone killers - mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members - human "predators" that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.
Predators will be in theaters everywhere July 7, 2010.
Cooper said because there is a date-specific release for the film, production deadlines were imperative at the Ottine location. In fact, he said that was the last of the outdoor filming for the movie. The rest is going to be shot in the studios in Austin.
Imboden had high praise for the production company, saying they were very aware of their environment and repaired any damages they may have caused. That even included fixing paths which were worn down by the production and repairing a grassy area where a large piece of equipment had ran off the road.
He said as part of the agreement, any damage caused will be repaired or the park will be reimbursed by the production company.
"Todd has been very helpful," said Cooper.
He said the company "loves" working in state parks in Texas because of all the cooperation. He also said it keeps production locally.
That has also infused money into the Gonzales County economy with nearly 300 people working for a full week on the set. That can be nothing but positive for this area.
But that is all in the past now. The lights have dimmed, the trucks are gone and now Ottine can get back to being the sleepy little village its residents so much enjoy.
And Swampy can come back home, though he may have nightmares about a Predator.
Interesting article. Sounds mostly positive which is also another good sign.
This movie is really sounding like a character-driven, characters-first/monsters-second movie, I like that.
Tropher's character isn't the FBI-most wanted now.

But you
could see it as a reference to Predator 2, since they most likely want their ship as close to their environment as possible, which would be tropical, hot and swampy.

for the end scene when there's that huge fire.
But I don't think they want to go with a completely dense fog environment and be accused of copying "The Mist".

In the original Predator (P1) all action was in jungle, so there were conditions like in the Earth's tropical forest.
In P2 we could see interior of the Predators ship, full of fog on the floor. It occurred to believe that the fog is typical of the climate of them planet.

Predator didn't become Alien. He always was alien. Just different sort of alien.
He always was mystical, sinister... He treats people as insignificant creatures. Isn't a bit Lovecraftian?
And mutations, genetic modifications... It is exactly what doesn't fit in this image.

@Puks! It's look like you read this script? Am I wrong? ;)
So - welcome to the club "We Don't Like This Ideas"... :D
Don't panic. It's old script, it could change in many ways and in many points.

I'd say it's pretty obvious with the big BAAAAWWW and deliberate grammar errurz, amirite? :)
To be honest, I can't understand why would anyone want to know the whole script BEFORE they watch the movie. It totally ruins the experience.
To be even more honest, I hate myself for peeking in this sub-forum and I hate the guy behind the script leak. And I also hate AvPgalaxy for putting the script on the site for everyone to read. :D

I know, curiosity killed the cat ;), but most of us just can't resist. It's so human, don't you think? ;)
It's like watching trailer before watching the movie, or something similar.
And I love AvP Galaxy for this (and despite everything else).
BTW I don't appreciate other people's grammar errors, I do worse... :D

@Puks!
They are no specialists here, but we don't need to be professionals of scriptwriting to know when the story is stupid, weak and meaningless. That is not congruent to any canon. As fanbase we have knowledge and we have preference. We want, that movie called Predators tells story about Predators.
And many other reasons, but I can't relate it without spoilering you. ;)
If you don't know the script, don't talk about script.
It's bleeding wound in my heart. ;)
The script has the potential to be a very good action movie imo. The original Predator script was not a great script but became a great movie due to good direction and performances by its actors.
Predators has better actors then the original, Nimrod Antal has a lot of potential as a director, and we all know that RR is capable of creating good action movies (Dusk til Dawn, Sin City and Desperado) therefore there is no reason why this film wont be a hit and is not as bad as some make out!
Yes it has flaws but even with these flaws its better then P2, AvP and AvPR! If these flaws have been corrected then we could have a great movie on our hands!
I honestly dont care is the Predator has black blood, large mandibles ect as long as its a good antagonist and does all the usualy things we expect from a Predator in a Pred movie (i.e. hunt and kill) then I am happy!

Yea.. This script has potential and good actors. But potential it's a bit too less to make good movie. The script it's basis. When they don't have good basis, what they have?
I honestly care very much about blood, behaviour and all this stuff. I don't want another stupid slaughterhouse like AvP:R. I want to watch good movie about Preds. I want my Preds back...

This curiosity will kill me, makes me physical pain. I experience this movie in very personal way, like any true Pred-fan. Every wrong stuff in this movie makes me pain, every good news makes me happy.
Is it so strange?
Am I the only one who's thinking this way?
I feel alienated. :-[
I didn't read the script because I want to be surprised and have a little mystery. Although I've had several things spoiled for me already.

Predators script better than P2? Well, yeah ::) I`m starting to wander when you`ll notice that it is actually quite hard to make something better than P2 ::) This is Third attempt to drag predator back on the big screen after P2, and guess what - I think that it`ll still be a failure like two earlier ones.
I disagree I think Predators (2010) will be the best reviewed Predator movie of all time! Yes even compared to the original - the original was panned on initial release but gained respect over time.
I'm going to keep the faith until I have further info, like trailer, reviews ect

And, this is just an assumption, but seeing as he may want to remain in Roddy's inner circle, he'll probably give it a glowing review.

Let me ask, why does everyone go to see a Predator movie?
For me, I like to see Predator character and how they are treated in faithfulness to Diablo Predator (Anytime) and Ghost Predator (Pussyface), and the new feats and weapons they carry while remaining true to the original concept.

Why?
QuoteLet me ask, why does everyone go to see a Predator movie?
To see 'The Most Dangerous Game' where the hunter is a crab faced Rastafarian from space.
In all fairness, a there hasn't been a crowd pleasing Predator movie since the first one, so I guess off of that, they go for ingenuity?
From what I have heard there has never been a crowd pleasing Predator movie? Was not Predator originally panned but people grew to love it over time?
These aren't the most important movies in history of cinematography. Even I can see it. ;D
But these movies have some kind of magic, that they attract successive generations of fans, fascinated, regardless the passage of time. This makes them so unusual. The characters, the stories... so, it's matter of taste, very personal. But I think, that this makes this movies so unusual. I think that many generations will discover the good old P1, if only because they will see AvP as the first or coming movie . Magic is still alive. ;)
I'm not sure that it not attracted to the cinema a lot of people. But it made them interest enough that the myth could survive for so many years. And still is attractive. ;D
Because it's overdue and because it has "Robert Rodriguez" on it. People will be like "oh Predator and that guy that made Sim City."

People loved the movie when it came out. It was the #1 film at that time.
A Spanish website claims that this is the first international teaser poster for Predators...

Good god, it's as if they are using the image of wolf and scar and putting them together to make a mask, jesus christ, obvious fake, and if it isn't, god.
I hope it's fake... Fan-made posters I saw here, on this site were much, much better... :-\
Of course it is fake...
I never thought people would think it's not fake, i mean come on, my dog can do a better poster :D
Why would they reuse AvP art?lame fake.
Horrible. The one with tagline "Their world, their rules" was much better.

Too great in my opinion. :D

QuoteThe image, we suspect, is merely a placeholder. It's clear it's two previously-used images from the AvP films mashed together with some Photoshop trickery. Our Fox reps here in the States say it shouldn't be accepted as "the official teaser poster"...
Oh, boys it's not funny, it's.... funny... ;D ;D lol
That guy probably has "Dumbass" written all over his forehead.
I can't wait for the poorly made wallpapers, hopefully they're reminiscent of the one from AvP:R. lol.

Alright, stick with your opinion then.
Jordan, if any predators post Predator and P2 even so much as fart in the wrong direction, they're tagged an abomination by most of the guy's here.

I don't like the 3 AVP Predators. They're fat, sluggish and comical. I like Wolf, if only because it was a surprise that the Strauss bro's got most of it right. It looked normal and was athletic and gracious.

The AVP predators were bad, but I think the movie makes them allot worse than they really were. Wolf "with mask" is almost as good as the old styles. I just think , this is 20 years on now, we need something fresh as far as the creature goes. I'm all for these new ones. When someone posts an original design from a comic or novel, everyones always "whooaa that's awesome" but for some reason when it comes to film, its "don't touch my dam Stan winston predator"
I'm giving RR and Antal the benefit of the doubt, if they can scoop up Brody and Fishburne, they can make the creatures a quality piece as well.
Besides I'm sure somewhere someone official said these new ones would be "based" off the old designs.
Or the one normal predator will be based of old designs while SP will be something totally different ::)

Big worry is this might be wholly intentional. Remember the scene in Batman Begins where he destroys the old Batmask (Or whatever the f**k it was) as a metaphor for the new series? I fear thats whats happening here, when the BSP kills the Pred. The difference, of course being that this will suck ass, and be a change for the worse.
Alfred broke the mask with a bat to show Bruce the materials it was made out was not right. He was telling him not to land on his head.

Theres definitely a mask Easter Egg/cameo in Batman Begins, I assumed that was it. Anyway, the point is the same. The only reason a normal Predator is appearing here is as a franchise sacrifice to RR's mutant reboot.

Back on topic, I wouldn't at all be surprised if the mask of the original design pred in this movie is at least inspired by the original mask... Assuming we see it at all... been a while since I read the script so I can't remember if you do or not...
@SM... refer to my remark above... if it existed, it wouldn't take long to find a website that mentions it...
BTW, I'm not trying to be a jerk about this... I just know BB very well... Would be happy to be proven wrong and to learn something new about the film...

Theres definitely a mask Easter Egg/cameo in Batman Begins, I assumed that was it. Anyway, the point is the same. The only reason a normal Predator is appearing here is as a franchise sacrifice to RR's mutant reboot.
What? There is not... Where did you come up with that ludicrous idea?
Empire Magazine. Are you going to have a heart attack?
Nope... just surprised cause there sure as shit aint no hidden mask in Batman Begins
Well, I'm 80% convinced of what I read.

I've watched Batman Begins once. Largely forgotten it and its overated sequel. I won't read trivia to any of Nolans Bat movies unitll one of them excites me. Perhaps you should calm down, not everybody jerks off over Christopher Nolan. OMG Teh Blasphemy! :D

Back up my claim? Ok, let me go work on my case. I don't want to be libel.
Thought I would put up this list of people working on Predators with past franchise experience:
David A. Brooke(Special makeup effects artist) - AVPR - Creature effects
Joseph C. Pepe(Lead Concept Artist) - AVP - Conceptual artist/designer
Tommy Tomlinson(Property Master) - Predator and Predator 2 - Property master
Michael Broom(Creature Designer) - AVPR - Creature effects
Greg Nicotero(Creature Effects Supervisor) - Predator - Creature effects crew
This list is lacking, I'd like to see imdb updating it a little.
It would of been great to have had a Picture of one of the Predators for Christmas. :-\

Well one that I loved was Tremors 2... Not the greatest flick but silly fun... They did some animatronics for it... Lets see....
Drag me to hell
Transformers
Spawn
Chronicles of Narnia
The Mist
Sin City
Evolution
From dusk til dawn
Men in black
Vanilla Sky
Austin Powers 2
Thirteen Ghosts
;D
All of KNB's historic here : http://www.imdb.com/company/co0015640/
Anyway, they are pretty well known and respected in the bussiness, with Nicotero and Berger being big names in the practical effects world.
They did some kick ass creatures and prostetic make-up effects in the past.
I especially like their props though:

Whats the most noticable thing is that they did those things for fun, and the Alien already looks better than what we got in the last 3 movies.
Why can't Derek Mears or whoever just say what character he's playing. Everybody else is announced, so why keep his character secret. If he's playing a Predator just say it. OK I'm done ranting, thanks for listening :)

What did they make the alien costume for?
Just for fun.
They make all kinds of props for their workshops, just to have a cool environment to work in.
At least one of those guys from the studio worked on the original Predator with Stan. So I hope they got the normal predator perfect this time around.

That doesn't say much though. Gillis and Woodruff from ADI both worked on the original Predator and Aliens, their designs still sucked (Wolf was OK, but the face was still shitty).
Their Alien gives gives me confidence though, i hope when they say "we went back and looked at the original" they really did this.
Quote from: Pvt. Hicks on Dec 30, 2009, 06:29:34 PM

That's surprising. ADI are contracted to make the alien costumes and these guys have made something for fun which is closer to the original design than ADI's version ever was.
Which fills me with much optimism. Hopefully their predator design is just as promising.

From Aint It Cool New's 2010 Preview...
QuoteThis one is sneaking under the radar a bit. I had no idea it was going to be a Summer 2010 movie until very recently. I've seen some things I'm not allowed to talk about, but I can say that this jaded cynical geek who has seen his childhood heroes ruined in remakes, reboots and sequels over the last decade is a firm believer in this film. Suits instead of CG, neat story and Nimrod Antal getting his chance to play with some huge geek properties. I hope I can say more in the near future, but I will say this should be high on your anticipation list. Adrien Brody, Danny Trejo, Laurence Fishburne, Derek Mears (Jason in the Friday the 13th remake), Alice Braga and Topher Grace round out the cast. Oh, and some giant dudes with dreadlocks, crooked teeth and bad attitudes.
I was just about to post that :)
Well I'd go with the pessimistics guys with this one, it's Quint, a friend of Robert Rodriguez.
What is interesting though, is that he doesn't mention his name and he's seen things we haven't, so atleast it's professional.
Yeah, I definitely take things I read on AICN with a massive pinch of salt... But the fact they again mention the fact the Predators are done with suit work at least makes me optimistic that the movie will LOOK half decent... And that's half the battle for me, I'm a Michael Bay fan so I'm well used to mediocre movies that look great :P
Quote from: Pinkman on Jan 03, 2010, 12:23:23 AM

And apparently, Harry Knowels is also friends with Rodriguez. And Harry Knowels, who said, that he loved Predator 2, suddenly turned his back on it and wants to forget it. And I quote from Harry:
Quote"I loved Predator because how REAL it was, but Predator 2 is just hilarious because how UNREAL it was."
Since Knowels, Tarantino, and Roddy are tight with each other, we need to be wary on what the former two say. I'm refering to Knowels and Tarantino. So take what those two say with a grain of salt, like Doomofman says.
Knowels especially, since he has been banned from critics screening by Fox.
-Rakai'Thwei
AICN and CHUD have both been banned by Fox, but thats not a bad thing. Thats actually quite good because they, CHUD in particular, don't hold back from posting negative reviews and being critical of studios, especially Fox. And Fox is quite adament on trying to push positive reviews and opinions of their product.
Quote from: AncientPred on Jan 03, 2010, 02:09:56 AM

But my point is this: Since Knowels and Tarantino are friends with Roddy, how can we take what Knowels and Tarantino say with credibility while not looking like it's favoritism by friendship being a factor?
Now, if the movie is good, and surprises everyone, and even gets me to like it, then great... but if not.. what then?

That makes absolutely no sense to me. :o I'd say the first film felt realistic for about half an hour but then there's this 7ft creature that likes to hunt humans that occasionally pops up from time to time. ::)
I can't speak for Harry, but if there is favoritism its more than likely unintentional. Friends can be friends and call eachother on their sh*t when it come to their work. I will say that he is someone who is extremely enthusiastic about movies in general. And he's completely unapologetic about what he loves. That being said he's not afraid of speaking his mind when it comes to posting negative reviews. Just look at his review for Terminator:Salvation, a review so bad that the director actually called him and said; "WTF?". And while enthusiastic the guys at CHUD are quite objective and fearless with what they do.
Movies can always surprise. How many times has the word of mouth been good, or even great, on a movie than people see it and whatever was spoken of before was somehow completely lost during the process. Its not unheard of. I would like to say; don't take it personally. But as a fanboy thats pretty hard for me to do. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Thanks for replying Ancient. Just what I wanted to hear...
Now to watch Roseanne for the rest of the night.

Right on. I hope it addressed at least some concerns. As for any others, they may not be laid to rest until the films release.
Knowles is an exposure hound. Always has been. I remember the hoopla in 2002/3 from him over getting his head in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

Not impressed. You're
supposed to use suits...you're
supposed to have a good story. These are necessities.
My mistake!
Cause when I read that Quint was a friend, the first person that came to mind was Tarantino.
Quint is short for Quinten, isn't it? Hence, my honest mistake.

Quentin is how Tarantino spells if AFAIK
Quint =/= Quentin
When would he have time to post online anyway?
When he's up all night off his face on cocaine?

I really have no reason to doubt his sincerity.
For the record though Quint is named for the character from Jaws.

I liked that Godzilla movie... Now I can admit it's a terrible movie.. But it's fun, in a silly way...
G2000 was actually one my best film-going experiences ever. Such a terrific crowd that day. The biggest reason the movie came off silly was that, like every godzilla movie before and after it, the american distributer went in and re-edited it to make it more silly. As paranoid as that sounds they go so far as to admit it on the dvd commentary.

he could have just lifted it off the script, Edwin and Isabelle before she turns all alien/strange. Although its not directly stated what is in the pit, its not hard to imagine that there will be a few skulls and bones thrown in their for added effect.

Uh, yeah.

The Predators in this is the double meaning of the humans also being Predators.

That is just f**king awesome that I now want to see that movie.
KNB is a very notable effects studio who has done some great work on a number of hits. Howard Berger and Greg Nicotero (the co-founders) worked under Winston on the original Predator and intend to remain faithful to Winston's designs which is why I am very optimistic about the creature effects of Predators even though I find some aspects of the new Predators' physical description to be very silly.
I just hope that they will make Predator creature like original one, but not copy original one. About SP I think that they`ll be more or less like AvP preds.

Mahershalalhashbaz Ali talks Predators
QuoteAl Norton: Did you just finish work on Predators?
M Ali: We just finished and it should be out July 9th.
Al Norton: Between the writer (Robert Rodriguez) and your fellow cast members (Adrian Brody, Lawrence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo), how much fun was that?
M Ali: It was a blast. It was an amazing experience. We were in the tropical rainforests of Hawaii stomping through the mud and getting rained on all day and then we ended up finishing in Austin, Texas. I really think this movie is going to be good. They had cut together a trailer while we were still working and it looked amazing. It's a great cast and along with the action elements and the sci-fi elements, and with Robert Rodriguez being involved, I think it's going to push it to another level.

Tonight I turned the final showdown, the film's last scene. In almost all dead, only Royce, that Brody is standing, he must contend with the predators on the planet burning jungle. "Royce selfish guy in this scene proves that it can self-sacrifice"
So it doesn't say he's the only survivor... Sounds to me like it's exactly as it is in the script...
No if you read on it says something it

QuoteI'm too lazy / busy / not good in English to translate it all, but here are some interesting parts:
...other than everyone praising everyone else, Antal talking about how lucky and grateful he is, some patriotic Hungarian talk etc...
Rodriguez says:
"I chose Nimrod because Kontroll rocked, which is the same kind of »ensemble«-movie, and I liked what he did with Vacancy and Armored. I gave him the script, we sat down for a coffee, and he impressed me as soon as he said that he plans to use the imagery of Bosch to bring this hell to life. He said he needed the eyes of Gyula Pados for this, and I gave my consent immediately, and I just let them work since then, because they are fascinating together. Sometimes I go out to the shooting and sit inside the editing room, but we think so much alike that I barely say a word."
Walter Goggins says:
"Nimrod's soul is clear, there's no trace of cynism in there. In his mind Predators is not about all-out action, but about entangled human lives."
Oleg Taktarov says:
"I've played in National Treasure too, but it's a huge difference! Nimrod and Pados have incredible eyes, they are poets. They have a good feeling of shades between black and white, they know human relationships well, and have a realistic idea about internationality, atonement and team play unlike many hollywood shams."
The surprisingly muscular Adrien Brody smiles on the negative opinions about casting him as an action hero and says:
"I've been stuffing myself and working out for three months! But I hope I managed to fill this character with emotional and intellectual depth too."
Antal Nimrod says:
"My heroes are fighting against predators, while they themselves are predators too. The world is full with cruel people, and we've chosen the most unscrupulous ones. For me the biggest challenge was that even though it is a sci-fi action movie, we had to keep things with both feet on the ground, because if the conditions are realistic, fears are working better too. It is undeniably an action movie, but I think with a good portrayal of characters it works as a drama too. Something like my favorite movie from this year, District 9. If I had only concentrated on the special effects, that would have resulted in a very shallow movie."
seems like MAJOR SPOILERS at the end here, be warned!
!SPOILERS!
They started shooting on Hawaii, near Hilo. The last third of the movie will be shot in the external locations of Rodriguez's studio, because they will set the jungle on fire. In the final scenes, when all other characters have perished, there's only Royce (Brody) left standing, and he has to face the predators in the burning jungle. This otherwise very selfish character will then prove that he is capable of sacrifice.

good, Im glad you spotted it as well. I picked it up whilst reading the google translation and thought I misread.
If this is true, then this could mean that the ending has changed slightly.

However they could have filmed the Edwin/Isabelle scenes earlier.
I assume it's just an error on the part of whoever wrote the article

Spoiler
could be just a bad interpreation of the scene by the reporter. Based on the leaked script, Royce was about to be selfish and leave Edwin and Isabelle marooned on the planet. However, he came back to rescue them and fight the BSP. So its kind of a sacrafise. Most likely the Edwin and Isabelle pit scenes where filmed earlier and the reporter never saw it.
Also, I remember reading on another older set report where Royce is described as saying something about "going after the Berzerker" - what the hell is that? its not in the script...

If there are sequels to Predators, I would rather Rodriguez focus more on the Predator Clan War rather than the humans, but at the same time I hope he doesn't change or add anything unnecessary like for example, Predator Kings, since Predators don't have a need for a single leader being that they have something of a clan mentality to their culture, you know?
Like a wolf pack. There is always an alpha male in each pack.
I don't think Rodriguez has changed anything in terms of the culture in this movie, but rather added something to the culture-- a duality. Two different cultures. The old one, which we all know and love and a new one, which is being introduced in this film.
I personally think that the old culture has been explored enough, and we don't need to see anymore.

I remember reading an old P3 script draft (may be by RR) that had Dutch being kidnapped by Predators and forced to enter a intergalatic gladiator tournament. The winner gets to fight a Predator King. I believe there was also a crucified Pred in that story as well that helps Dutch. Could have been just fan fiction trying to pass it self off as a P3 draft by RR. It was over 10yrs ago!!
That was the original script.

I hate how it's listed on IMDB as following Alien,Aliens,Alien 3,and Res and followed by the 'frickin Alien Prequel simply because of the AvP films.
It's annoying as f**k,someone edit that shit.
I wonder when the Trailer will be released?
We wonder too. Trust me, when it is out, you will know.
I have no doubt that the teaser won't be out before official pics are released. The set pics will probably be taken offline within the next few days. And in maybe a month we'll get official pics. And a month, maybe even two or three, after that the teaser will will be released.

As I've said countless times before... The trailer should be out by the end of February... I'd imagine a 30 second SuperBowl trailer followed a few days later by an extended trailer online... I'd imagine we'll get the set reports a week or 2 before the trailer... but I'm still convinced we'll have the trailer by the end of February...
The "self sacrifice" most likey means Royce has figured out that the Predator could self destruct hence explaining why the jungle might be burning. ???
Spoiler
It means he doesn't just leave the planet and strand the others.
Idk Kinda sucks they wont use self destruct :( But then again its been done on every film so its probably a good idea to leave that concept out.
Used twice out of four movies.
Only once to actually commit suicide.
I believe the BSP does try to activate it

pretty much expected the answer I got but I've been tweeting a few of the actors from Predators and Robert Rod and Derek Mears was the first to respond:
I asked "any idea when a Predators trailer will be released?"
Derek Mears: "not a clue"
again I expected a response like that but atleast I got a response
That stuff is out of his control.
I know it is out of his control, but was just wondering if maybe he has heard anything about the trailer, hence why I asked some of the actors and the producer. Those are the type of answers I was expecting, but maybe one of them will spill the beans
IMDB has removed 2 Predators from the cast, what up with that?
Anyone can edit anything on IMDB, probably some idiot.. and there's lots of 'em there.

Thats insane, nice find man!
Predators is being edited by Dan Zimmerman, who also edited AvP-R.
Doesn't seem to have a whole lot of experience...
Well, they just added his name recently on imd, weird. Minasian, who worked on all Nimrod's hollywood film was credited way before.

It's possible that both Minasian and Zimmerman are editing the film together though Zimmerman may have been brought on by 20th Century Fox as he did edit the god awful, shitty AVP-R.

If you look at the pics in the gallery he's playing one of the SP's, I think Mr. Tusks. I have never seen a video of Derek before, man does he have some energy!!!!!
that's Brian Steele in the gallery pics
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DD1FzVmZ140
Well the cool thing is that the actors, including Adrien Brody, seem to stand by this movie 100%. Derek Mears said that he thinks this will kick major ass and loves everything that they have done with it. Hope for the best.
Well, I cant imagine any actor saying that the movie he/she plays in will suck...
All the interviews given by cast members, the director and the producer have commercial purposes. They will always say it's gonna rock, no matter how the final product will actually turn out in the end.
They all seem really pumped about the movie though.
True. But keep in mind projects like this are new to most of the cast members. And they're all playing a major role in this. So, I can imagine why they're so pumped up about this film.
ps: Does anyone know if there's an interview with Laurence Fishburne about Predators? I haven't found any yet.
PREDATORS, THING prequel & WALKING DEAD at WONDERFEST!!!
ANYWAY - you came to find out about PREDATORS, WALKING DEAD & THE THING Prequel.
Well, one of the things I was doing here was... Originally, I was going to be moderating a PREDATORS panel with Greg Nicotero and Nimrod Antal. However, Greg had to cancel due to working on Frank Darabont's WALKING DEAD for AMC. And Nimrod has just been crunched - working on the final mix of PREDATORS which he's feeling the pressure of the release date which is coming right at him. SO... The PREDATORS panel wound up being me and Dave Connover (one of the grand poo-bahs of WONDERFEST) - and Dave and I had a grand time talking about PREDATORS - I've been talking with Rodriguez for about 14 years regarding PREDATORS - and told stories about Robert's original scriptment - the process of choosing Nimrod for the film, how the project came to return to Rodriguez about more than a decade of cobwebs. THEN... Dave queued up a 9 minute special behind the scenes video by Greg Nicotero and the wizards at KNB that was to show us the process that they went through to bring back to life the original Predator - with a higher degree of articulation (hey, there's been some minor advancements in the past 25 years or so.) HOWEVER, as Greg went to introduce the video from his workshop at KNB...
He first produced a zombie that he's working on for THE WALKING DEAD - I haven't seen any of KNB's work for this VERY anticipated show from AMC and Darabont. Any concern about this show not adapting the more ghoulish aspects of THE WALKING DEAD. Well, I haven't seen such an awesome cadaverous Zombie since RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD or... even LIFEFORCE. Only... this was mixed with more "wet" than either of those. We're talking very cool work here. The glimpse raised my already high expectations. Can't wait to see what Frank does with this - and hopefully we'll get some glimpses to share with you shortly!
But as Greg put the zombie down... And moved ever so slightly to his left... We could see further back into KNB - and there... clearly in the background was something they were working on, obviously, for THE THING prequel. This thing was right out of Bottin's THE THING. Two heads split and joined by that stretching, warping slimey muscle... "what is that" "that's human, that's human" and That is decidedly not. I'm still scared shitless by this project, but just seeing that one head. well, two heads with alot of gross between the two... Let's just say, I'm cautiously optimistic now.
After the reel - we chatted for a bit about what we just saw and I decided. Dammit, let's see if I can ring up Robert Rodriguez, put him on Speaker phone and make him do a Q&A with this audience dying for official PREDATORS news.
Robert gracefully began a 30-45 minute Q&A with the audience. Telling us that the CG is very minimal - and that there was just a single green screen shot in the entire production - otherwise - they built the environments and sets or found location. KNB built a ton or practical stuff - and the CG is enhancements mainly - and the "dogs" when they're running and dynamic. That went over very well with this MODEL orientated crowd.
Robert also shared that in the adaptation process from his crazy expensive treatment - to what Nimrod shot was a process that involved having to watch the AVP films to see what they had done, that might have been in that treatment. As Robert didn't want to repeat those beats. But mainly - he felt that in taking PREDATORS into space and into a non-Earth film... he wanted to get our feet wet here - with the idea of taking us the rest of the way in the next PREDATORS - which depending on the success of this film, will possibly take us to the PREDATORS homeworld.
Wait! You thought that was this film? No. The planet here is like the Predators' Hunting preserve. They drop various dangerous things to hunt on this planet and let the things interact, fight and they enter the fray as well. I even got the notion that perhaps even Predator outcasts might be placed here to be hunted. BUT he didn't say that directly.
You will see some Predator extra gizmos, you'll also see PREDATORS fighting in different techniques - to show that perhaps... there could be different disciplines that the Predators explore as hunters and warriors. I find that a relief. Hopefully that'll translate to different kinds of armor and dress.

They should've called his character Machete... or at least a reference, come on! :D :D
Now that would have been clever cross marketing but then they would have killed off a new character before his movie even came out.

I hear you man.
The major complaint I hear about Predator 2 is that it wasn't in the jungle, and that Arnold was not in it.
If you ask me, that's what made Predator 2 great! It wasn't a god-damn rehashing of the first movie, and it had a very down to earth character in the form of Michael R. Harrigan, who had a fear of heights, wasn't exactly the tempered super hero soldier that Dutch was, and was an average guy who people could relate to-- more so than Dutch anyway.

I disagree with your statement that the main reason people hate it is because it was not set in the jungle or had Arnie in it - the reason it and the AvP movies failed to live up to the original is that they all failed to deliver the single most important thing in a Predator franchise "The Hunt"!!
Why is the original great? great characters, great monster and most importantly edge of your seat tension from start to finnish. Yes they may be hard to relate but you grow to love the characters of the original and as each is picked off one by one your are left on the edge of your seat right up until the thrilling showdown at the end between Dutch and Anytime. All P2 gave us was a series of set pieces where characters we dont give a dam about get slaughtered and then followed by Danny Glover looking confused.
No tension, No fear, No Hunt = a piss poor Predator movie

I think that the movie just lacked tension at some points too. But it's respectable, that even like that, and with some cheesy moments it did deliver very good moments, and overall it is not a bad film. NO: it's a good movie, and I don't see either why is it bashed. And there are moments, when it has incredible atmosphere (decloaking predators in the end, the whole ship, King Wille and his death, the first strike on the columbians). Yes, it loses energy and tension at some point. But overall I think it's a good movie.

Absolutely. I've come to appreciate Predator 2 more and more, over time. It may not be the perfect sequel to Predator, but it expanded the Predator universe in a positive manner. The cheesy bits and one-liners are just part of what makes it a Predator film, although the scene with the old broom-lady was kind of an unnecessary moment of comic relief (in the middle of a climatic chase!) to me.
The movie was full of memorable scenes, like the subway sequence, or when the Predator clan appeared in front of Harrigan, or the scene where the Predator made his way across the street by jumping from car to car, denting their roofs in the process. Those are the scenes that stayed with me most, from when I was but a seven year old kid.
This isn't a Predator 2 discussion thread.

i think predators will be better than predator 2, :o
because lets face it predator 2 isn't a good movie,
it is a great movie in special effects and as a predator movie, but if you take that part away and you show it to people that know nothing about the creature, it isn't a good movie.....but i still really like it because of the creatures.
and i agree it was cool that it was different but in my opinion they worked it out in the wrong way.
predators looks like it is going to be a really cool for everyone who likes action or scifi, so it will have a bigger adience than predator 2, i think.
predators is in my eyes also more unice in style....but that is just my opinion.

For me, Predator 2 has a nostalgia factor and a spirit to itself like the first movie.
-Rakai'Thwei
Very true, Predator 2 brought the predator to a new kind of jungle. Predators uses the jungle element from the first movie but brings a new twist by having it on another planet, The most dangerous game style! I havin't seen any AVP esq f*ck up's like teenagers and Earth-settings, plus no xeno's in sight, so i think we got a potential winner here.

Another failed attempt at movie promotion...
Which raises an eyebrow for me..
Tomorrow will be a month away from release.. and there are no TV spots..
Something strikes me awry about that.

Well it seems to me this japanese twitter thing was going to be an attempt to get loads of followers really quickly (Scott Pilgrim vs The World did it for it's trailer release on facebook last week) Only it must be a big shock to Fox to see that nobody really gives a shit about Predators in Japan so their little game is going nowhere quick...
They really are a bunch of a-holes at Fox... I mean the Predator Facebook pages keeps going on about mobile games and comics and not promoting the film itself...

I agree move your f**king ass fox and actully promote your damn movie give us a new trailer and tv spots its not that hard ;)
Well the tv spots probably wont start until 2 weeks out... but jesus they could do with a trailer and some internet marketing (banner ads and the like). Just stop talking about comics and games and promote the f**king film. Although knowing the intelligence levels at Fox there's no way one of them could figure out how to get onto this forum and read this anyway ::)

SO no tv spots untill at least some weeks before release but still come on they could make some trailers for us they are really slacking off.
i think the whole thing is a stupid joke.

The Japanese thing is sh*tty
No one has seen the A-team yet? There were some preview showings here in The Netherlands, no word if there was a trailer in front of it yet...
QuoteThe Japanese thing is sh*tty
Beat me to it.
Been away from the site for a few days hoping to find some updates when I came back on but still none. Only 4 weeks to wait so maybe the surprise of seeing the film without knowing much about it is a good thing.

Yeah I'm going to the 12:01am showing so I'll be leaving my house on Thursday June 10th around 11p.m.
and I'll be back around 2:30-3 a.m. on Friday June 11
which will be about 10am over here I think :P I'll have to set an alarm to wake me to check the forums... Yeah I'm that nerdy

Well he's saying "new" and "better" so obviously he's comparing it to something he's already seen. And since there has only been one trailer til now... so one would assume...
Had a buddy of mine who went to go see The Killers ask people walking out of A-Team if there was a predators trailer and they said yes! He does not know if it is new or not cause the people clearly did not know! Will let you guys know once i see the movie today!
Fingers are crossed

Fingers crossed from here too plz plz plz be a new predators trailer ...!!!
Crossing all fingers too.
But i take it as a good sign i dont belive fox would show the same old trailer again not for the Ateam.
why not ? :-\
There has to be a new trailer with A-Team otherwise Fox have failed big time...

Or if we are lucky fox will put up on the website so it fits with showing it in the movies and online at the same time.
It's Fox... They're not that clever
if it is a new trailer ill take video with my blackberry for you guys!

Dear Fox,
If you want people to stop bootlegging your trailers, try putting it online at the same time, then there's no need for eager fans to film it and share it with others.

Back on topic i have some slight news from brian Steele himself :)
Hello Khalil,
The avpgalaxy site is fantastic. I stop over there often!
Thank you so much for contacting me regarding Predators!
The first Predator movie has so much to do with why I wanted to become CreatureBoy. I'm a huge fan of the series and have so much respect for the late Kevin Peter Hall.
As much as I want to talk to you regarding everything that is in PREDATORS, The Studio has me under a Confidentiality Agreement until the release date of July 9th.
Please contact me after July 9th and I will talk to you at length about working on the film. I really look forward to hearing from you!
What I can say now, is that my goal on the Film was to perform at a level that gave credit to K.P.H.
best,
Brian Steele
So Brian if your reading this, thank you again!
Awesome Mr. Black image

Wow, in the visual effects department listed on IMDB, there has been a whole list of dudes added, all from a company named Hybride, and they have apparently worked on movies such as Avatar, 300, and Sin City for examples. With some dudes from WETA too. Well obviously, they will have smaller means and budget to work with, But I hope that'll calm down the worries that some here have concerning the CGI.
Not that anyone really cares (the japanese certainly dont) But Fox's terrible attempt at a social network campaign in Japan needs one more twitter follower to add another second to the video... At this rate they might have a 30 second video by the time the movie comes out :P
So if anyone hasn't yet... http://movies.foxjapan.com/predators/twitter/ (http://movies.foxjapan.com/predators/twitter/) Go follow the twitter account
On http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424381/ they updated some of the cast. Brian Steele has now been credited as "Berzerker Predator Black Super" and Carey Jones is now "Dog Handler Super Predator". Thats it not much I know, but hey, it's something.
'Berserker Predator Black Super' sounds like a magic ninja attack from a Japanese anime or something. :P
Yeah, seems like they mixed up the order of words.
Part 2 of Bloody Disgusting's set visit:

Yup... Vis is 20 seconds long... http://movies.foxjapan.com/predators/twitter/ (http://movies.foxjapan.com/predators/twitter/) Should be there unless it was just broken and showed me the whole vid... Lemme know and I'll post a pic :P
Fox can kiss my sweet a** >:(
They're outta' line with that IMO.
I suggest everyone on here that followed that Twitter page to report it for spam... That's what I did
I didn't follow it.
HAHHAHAHAHA the video shows a fat sumo !!! xD HAHHAHAHA
Hahaha...that was hilarious.
It shows how people can get worked up over the funniest things sometimes...
I find this hilarious!

Nice.
Good find. I bet Predators will move onto number 2 spot, I mean I've seen a lot of Air Bender trailers on TV, so the next couple of weeks Predators should get a lot more advertising also.
Thought this was pretty neat.
QuoteAdrien Brody shunned fancy hotels and spent weeks living in a damp "hut in the jungle" while filming new movie Predators - because he was determined to bring a sense of realism to his character.
The Oscar winner has stepped into the alien-fighting franchise made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1980s for a big screen revival, and the actor stayed on location in Hawaii to shoot the monster movie.
Brody, who plays a mercenary leading a team into the jungle, admits he was determined to get into character ahead of filming and refused an offer to stay in a luxurious hotel in favour of a ramshackle hut set in the depths of the rainforest.
He says, "We shot in a thousand acres of lush tropical rainforest, a location of prehistoric dimensions with giant leaves and jungle canopies. I stayed in a hut in the jungle. I isolated myself in a damp room, with screen doors, not an air-conditioned hotel room. I studied meditation techniques. My nightly reading consisted of military training books, paramilitary manuals, field guides and special-operation manuals. I had no mobile phone reception... The only time I would leave set was to exercise... I would get food, but otherwise I was on my own in one of the rainiest place in the world."
And Brody is adamant all the "discomfort" he suffered while preparing for the role was worth it.
He adds, "I felt the need to stay focused and for this period of time and just be disciplined. It is an effort to be faithful for a character and convey something truthfully and I know I can subject myself to severe discomfort." »
Wow, I love how much he seems to care for the character. This should be even better than I expected. :)
Predators will probably get one more variation of the trailer already released this week with the fox movie: Knight and Day
Predators Competition
Thanks to 20th Century Fox, we have 5 in-season double passes to giveaway to Robert Rodriguez's Predators!
PREDATORS, a bold new chapter in the Predator universe, shot under the creative auspices of Robert Rodriguez, stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a cold-blooded mercenary whose only allegiance is to those who pay him. He reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. With the notable exception of disgraced physician Edwin (Topher Grace), they are all cold-blooded killers – mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members – human 'predators' that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.

During what part of Predators do you guys think the song will play? Maybe the opening chase sequence?

End credits.
The song playing during fall sequence would be oh so very wrong but extremely funny...end credits would be hilarous
yeah using that song when they are falling would be out of place, I don't mind when movies use songs with lyrics for scenes but it has to work (Kick Ass for example did a great job with this) but with Predators it should only be Orchestra music.
Like others have said the song would be great right when the screen goes black and the credits roll just away to break the tension after the movie is over.
maybe Noland scavenged a ipod off a dead person who was hunted previously xD... one of the characters listening to it! i would lol!
I know it wont be the case, but a flashback sequence of when Noland was initially kidnapped and taken to the planet during the vietnam war, abducted during an air cav mission into enemy territory.
The scene would feature a short segment of noland and his fellow soldiers flying into an enemy lz, with long tall sally playing on a cassete player on board the gunship.
Played out deadly serious and in the most casual way possible i think it would be perfect.

"PREDATORS" director Nimrod Antal talks next project
Quote
With PREDATORS hitting in just a week, it seems Nimrod Antal has begun to put some thought into his next endeavor, a dystopian thriller. Read on for more!
The Playlist spoke to Antal about the upcoming franchise re-starter and asked the filmmaker about what he might have coming up. He plans on returning to a passion project he had originally wanted to helm after his first film, KONTROLL. The feature is titled PARAFFIN (which The Playlist folks were kind enough to point out is defined as "a chemical alkaline that can be used for waterproofing, and a verb meaning to cover or impregnate."
While he didn't offer much in the way of plot details, Antal threw out this cryptic bit. "I can't quite give you a storyline yet. I can give you a teaser: men and women will build a boat out of plastic bottles in Cuba to escape oppression, right? So imagine if our world has become that [kind of] oppression. You aren't building plastic bottle boats anymore, you have to build something else to get out of here."
Not a whole lot to go on there, but given he's showed plenty of talent, it's definitely intriguing. Keep checking Fango for more on PARAFFIN as it comes in.

Do the Flusher and Falconer Predator get their masks removed at all in the entire film?
Quote from: Man of Gundam on Jul 05, 2010, 02:43:10 AM
Do the Flusher and Falconer Predator get their masks removed at all in the entire film?
Nope
I would almost sort of prefer not to see every pred in this flick unmasked. While the thought of getting to see all their faces and the differences is intriguing I think something has to be left a mystery for speculation. That and I think it would almost seem cliche going through the film wondering how the next predator is going to loose his mask lol.
We'll probably get to see them maybe from new production stills from the dvd or some art-book.
At least Birdface`s mask should be removed.
We don't see Falconer or Flushers face... As far as I know they didn't even have designs...

No, hence why we have the prequel comics.
Ow that's a bit dissapointing
sounds like it, maybe they didn't have the time or money to add that part in, or they felt it wasn't needed considering they weren't going to show any background footage of the other main characters.
The crew liked the other planet so much they just wanted to film the whole movie there.
sucks >:(
It`d be nice if "Jungle Creed" was still in.

I still wish they would have in the movie how they got Stans out of prison, I still think that be cool.

Noland death is just plain retarded. Do they even bother to explain why someone who has survived for 20yrs be stupid enough to build a fire outside his secret hiding place and give away his position! Its so random.
So they have stuck pretty close to the leaked script, which is good imo (apart from Nolands death). I assume the ending is also the same as well - the one where its just ends randomly, with Isabelle saying to Royce "what now" (Fade to black)!
Spoiler
Actually Nolan is schizophrenic and portrayed as crazy. He's arguing with himself over why he even talked to them as he does it. I really really liked it. They showed just how shit your options on the planet were. Die or turn into Nolan. The ending is better, new parachutes drop in and Royce is just like "Let's find a way off this rock".

WTF?! (but in a good way) :)
Spoiler
I dig Noland being a schizo; the scene that you describe sounds simmilar to Golums scene in LOTR when he argues with himself.
In regards to the ending; when you say "new parachutes" you mean you see new prey being dropped off and the cycle begins again....thats is totally bad ass. So it appears that the planet is a game preserve used by all types of Predators not just Mr Black and his tribe since someone other then Black must have kidnapped the new lot who are dropped off at the end.
I dig the way RR has turned the game preserve into a sort of "Hell and Purgatory" where humans who have commited crimes get punnished by Death (aka Predator).
Spoiler
Not quite that funny. It's more sort of "What has this dude gone through?".
yeah, new prey dropping in.

How did the Pred vision modes look?

Few more question dude...will be no more thereafter!
Spoiler
(1) In the script, Nolands last lines where "Im unarmed" and then he gets blown away by Black. Is it the same in the movie? Also, is it more concrete in the film that he is screwing the other humans over to get their weapons or may be in fact working for the Predators, in the script his behaviour just came across as random.
(2) Does the movie explain how Anna knows about the Predators and what happened to Dutch in 87?
For predwar
Spoiler
It's pretty brutal. Was a bit too short for my liking but it's a very primal fight
Jester
Spoiler
Again, it comes down to him being crazy. His "friend" is pissed off Nolan took them in because they can barely look after himself. Someone, can't remember who, comments that he wants their equipment. He doesn't say "I'm unarmed". I can't remember the exact line but it's more along the lines of Nolan being insane and something along the lines of "took you long enough".
Isabelle knows about it in the movie. I'm not sure how she knows.
Hicks, what about the weapons of the new predators?
Does the net/netgun appear in the film?
Or maybe something new?
is the fight longer than the fight with wolf vs prealien ?

Not quite, no. Different demise.

They absolutely trashed me on IMDB.
By God they did, but for the life of me I have no idea why. :D From what I saw they seem pretty childish at best.
Thanks for the current Q&A as well btw.
I think so, yeah. You only see one other alien in the movie but they didn't spend too much time on it.

It IS stickman.
I havent seen the movie, but it have been clarified that Stickman is more buffed then the concept art showed us.
And seeing this thing looks almost indentical as that concept art but just more bulky, it MUST be Stickman.
Hicks, how does that alien spacecraft/mining machinery (the place where Noland hides) exterior look?
Is it the same we saw on the concept art?
The question to be answered is if the mandibles close correctly on the Classic predator... :o
I can't say I particularly noticed that. I did notice his mandibles didn't open as wide as in the AvPs or the BSPs do.
And Zerxesz, it looks the same as in the trailers.
@ Hicks
Spoiler
By any chance do you hear the SP's or any Pred talk in their alien language?
No. Nothing like that.
Well poop
I wouldn't want them to go too crazy with what they put in. You handle something like that and you're gonna piss off as many people as you please.
True.
The Predator speak in AVP2010 was quite good, I think.
@hicks
Spoiler
Do they give Stans his cool moment of redemption he has in the leaked script where he brawls with a Pred to give the others time to get away??
Spoiler
I don't think it comes across as being the hero for the humans. It comes across more as "You f**kers tied me up. Payback time bitch." And you can tell he means it.
f**k, i thought Predators would hit the Dutch cinema's at july 15th.
But all the cinema websites say it will be released here in Holland at july 27th !!!
July 27th !!!!
This is pure evil.
How the hell am i going to wait almost 3 more weeks while 99% on earth has already seen this movie in cinema by that time.
:'(
And how am i going to stay unspoiled if everyone will be talking about this movie, while i visit the forums everyday!
Damn dutch cinemas.
Really hope a good quality download of this movie will be available very soon.
Hicks can you tell me how the movie ends? how classic dies? if we hear any preds talk in human like the second movie?

@ Hicks
Did you stick around to see when the song 'Long Tall Sally' played?
Whats with the obession with Long Tall Sally played in Predators? Who said this?
Because it's a brilliant song, used in an equally brilliant scene in the original. A couple of reviews have mentiond it.
there was a rumor that thered be something after credits, but it seemed to have died
It's the first song in the credits. Followed by the Predators theme.
So the movie ends with Long Tall Sally? What the eff? That's so....horribly out of place.
I mean, it was a great scene in Predator...because it made sense. But seriously?

Err, how would you know?
Erm No. It's when the credits begin. As in, "Fade to Black" - Movie by Antal Nimrod, Staring Adrian Brody... It wasn't out of place, it isn't in the movie itself. It's an obvious nod to the fans after the movie has ended.
Cool. ;D
Seems very out of place. And yes, I would know because...(aside from the obvious nod) there's no logical reason for that song to play at the end of the film. But we'll see....we'll see. I have a feeling it could be a great way to end it....but at the same time I dont.
I would've much rathered had a Predator style credits scene with all the cast members smiling and such, with the "Stans- Walter Goggins" credits.

That would've been great IMO :)
Brody would have that serious look, just like Dutch. Fishburne would have his rape face on.
But people would have complained it was copying Predator.
People will complain about everything. I'll keep an open mind. I can see it working in my head. It's better then Arnold atleast. lol.
I just saw it. I'm happy overall, but it was let down here and there.
@ Hicks
Is there a scene after the credits? A simple yes or no answer will suffice, thanks. :)

Have you ever stayed behind in a film and listened to the credit music? For what reason was Roar at the end of Cloverfield? Why was Proclamation Decimation or whatever it was at the end of AvPR?
They don't need a logical reason...it was from Predator. It didn't fit anywhere in the actual movie so they put it in the credits. The Predator theme is also in the credits.
@ PBA - I didn't stay to the end. Everyone was leaving.
Ah, OK. I'll stick around after the credits when I see it on Wednesday.
Are there any subtle references to the Alien franchise like maybe a skull in the hunting camp or something?
No.

Thanks, I had it a while back but I took it down because some people thought it was a spoiler, but I don't see how. Now it's back. ;D
To Hicks, yes I have. Those are peices of music composed for the film, so it makes sense they're in the credits. Aside from a possibly cool nod, Long Tall Sally has zero logical reason to be in the credits. They never listened to it, it's never brought up.....
But like I said, i'm willing to keep an open mind.

The film takes a line from Aliens: "If it comes to that, I'll do us both"
He asked for subtle references. :P
I forgot that was even in Aliens.

I'm with ya, was one of my gripes, vision looked a bit PC game like.
That's exactly what I was thinking, looked like a video game. A small complaint all the same.
Seeing it tonight!
So, question: Do the Predators use any weapons other than the wrist blades and the shoulder canon in this movie?
I mean, that's all the original Predator had, and that's the only movie Rodriguez has any respect or tolerance for.
But I'm hoping we see a spear or two anyway!

Nothing new really. I guess if you count the dogs and falcon as extra tools for the hunt. Mr. Black tends to use his hands alot ripping out spines. I didn't mind not having new weapons.

I wasn't looking for anything ACTUALLY new. Just stuff from Predator 2 on-forward. So you mean they don't use any of the weapons from Predator 2, then? No spears, no disks, no nets - nothing but the gun and the wristblades?
Disappointing.

No.
1. Stans only manages to stab Mr Black. A tiny scratch.
2. Mr. Black does get a chance to heal after he gets shot and Royce goes nuts with the axe on his face.
There are nets yes, but they aren't the cutting type, just for trapping. In fact traps are used more in this one in general.
Someone on another forum said that the spear and wrist-bolt from Predator 2 DO in fact appear...
Hmmm? True?
They might, there's alot of action.
Also, there's an Alien skull.

Why is it disappointing? Clearly we are shown a new tribe of Predators. Bad bloods with a different kind of mindset, skills and weaponry.
What were you expecting? A Predator rescue commando team to come and help retrieve Classic? I'd expect a Mothership would appear in he sky and shoots 3 pods to the ground and out comes 3 Uber Predators armed to the effin' teeth with everything they got even unleashing an Alien or two to thwart Blackie...

It's disappointing because I wanted something in this movie to blatantly go against Rodriguez's continued insistence that it completely ignores all of the sequels after the first
Predator. I wanted evidence that
Predator 2 is clearly still part of canon.

Now that's just too good to be true. I'll be watching like a hawk for that.
I was on the lookout and didn't see an Alien skull, at all. It'd be daft for Roriguez to slam P2 and then steal its homage, wouldn't it? There was an alien skull however, a very cool one, just not an Alien's.
It's burning in the Predator camp.

I'm not complaining, I'm just trying to figure out if he said that, then why put the skull in there?

Nice, but I meant the scene from the movie. ;)
It'll be a while before we get that. Also, is some of the info on this site wrong ? About the character Eric Forman played ?
It was probably from the script.
Anyway, there was no Alien skull....people are seeing things.
Rewatch the death camp scene.
I think i know what skull you guys are talking about. The one that is burnt black just chilling there in the fire and we get like a 5 second shot of the camera just staring at it. I dunno if that was a Alien skull looked a bit out o shape in some parts........ I am seeing the movie again today so ill make sure to pay super lose attention.
The Alien skull isn't in the death camp scene, It's when they see the first Totem thing. The one that Hanzo finds. The Alien skull is on the right hand side of the pile of skulls.
Seriously. Watch carefully next time you see the film, You'll see it.
I looked for it, I didn't see any. There were non-human skulls, but I didn't see an alien skull. I'll look again we I see the film again, but I don't think its there.
I'm literally 90% certain its an Alien skull. I'd know that ridged head anywhere. I'm gonna have to wait til the DVD release to be certain though.
I saw something ridged but it didn't look like a xeno. It goes by so quick its hard to tell, but it didn't look right to me.
Sounds like RRs intentions came true, then.

I have seen the film 3 times now (free Cineworld pass :) ) - trust me its not a Xenomorph skull that is in the fire during the camp scene. It looks more dino like plus the teeth where smaller then compared to Xeno.
I love how we get into debates about the most pointless stuff.
No Xeno skull, but Harry Knowles is in there... watch out and you'll see.
