QuoteWe may not know who will own Fox in the future, but we do have an idea of what the company has planned for Comic-Con. Specifically, we've heard it'll have a panel dedicated to Shane Black's upcoming film The Predator in Hall H this year. And while Fox has a ton of other in-the-works films that would absolutely fit in at Comic-Con (Alita: Battle Angel, The Darkest Minds, Bad Times at the El Royale, Ad Astra, and others), it's unlikely any of those will be mentioned there.
The biggest question whenever Fox decides to have a Hall H panel is "Will the X-Men be at Comic-Con?" This year, the smart money says... probably not. Predator will be the main focus and there are simply too many other big movies Fox has to release before the February, June, and August releases of Dark Phoenix, Gambit, and New Mutants, respectively. However, Dark Phoenix and New Mutants are done with principal production, so if Fox wanted to make a splash with a big surprise, it absolutely could.

I'll be heading to Comic-Con this year. Depending on when this panel happens I'll try to be at this panel, since won't be in San Diego until Thursday afternoon and there's several other panels I'd like to attend (and I also want to go on the show floor and the offsite attractions of course).

You're kidding right? 80s Nostalgia has been riding high for years.
The problem is, they have not been putting out the stops to get this thing exciting people, and that first teaser was a horrible, horrible, misstep.

The predators have a grudge against Earth because two of their own died on a hunt? I'm baffled. Isn't that just part and parcel of hunting, and their respect for worthy opponents/prey, sometimes you're defeated and die in honor and that's just how it is? It better just be one faction doing this, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around it.
The cast of #ThePredator says they spent the entire shoot trying to get moments from viral videos into their performances in the movie. So if any of their movements look familiar, you're not imagining it. #SDCC

So yeah... I don't care for this one bit. Isn't the whole point of the hunt to be challenging? If you try to hunt challenging prey that's worthy of your time, there is, you know, the risk of dying. So why would they be pissed? And why would be Predator in the 2nd Movie even reward Harrigan, if killing their champions is some sort of affront?

Yes, that was in the script I read - all that was said was, IIRC, 'artifacts from each film'. That's not explicit IMO, just a small nod. I'm fine with it. Explicit would be actually discussing it onscreen or it figuring into plot.

Well it's probably the same faction that he says are not opposed to upgrading themselves to be stronger hunters.

Well Ridley most likely hated the idea of AvP and wanted to stay far away from those movies. I don't blame him, those movies were not liked by fans anyways.

Comic book resource is making the claim that 'Fugitive' is female.
Any credibility in that Hicks ?
Skeptical. I wonder what their source is...doesn't seem like it was mentioned in the interview.

That same article says that the sizzle reel showed a "variety of predators," which doesn't square with what we know... that and the female comment makes me wonder if the writer is just making assumptions.
Edited to add: just saw this article, though I'm not seeing any actual evidence of this claim.

Maybe that's simply Predator philosophy- take your killer out as you collapse into the grave if you can.
Or perhaps he was simply wiping out the evidence of his existence and didn't care if his prey survived or not.

That's kinda disappointing it just seems like a rehash predator fight from predators. I thought it be a more better fight through the movie not just hype up the fugitive pred only to get jobbed by the upgrade.

"The will will introduce female Predators".
Could it be there's more to it and we get another ship scene like in P2? Might explain the extensive re-shoots.
Or is it more likely that it'll just be Treager/Keyes alluding to the fact that they've had/seen two genders of the species?
As there'd have to be a visual cue for the audience and, sadly, I think that'd be breasts. It's just the more obvious choice for cinema.

Nick said a fan asked a question whether it was female or not. They responded in a jokey way. He's surprised CBR ran with that one given the tone.
Quote from: Ramjet311 on Jul 19, 2018, 11:00:36 PM
Silly question but Have the scenes they showed at Comicon leaked onlineas yet?
QuoteThe dueling impressions began after the cast discussed doing impressions of YouTube videos on sets, at which point host Conan O'Brien remarked that he was surprised they weren't all trying their hand at Schwarzenegger's classic line, "Get to the chopper!"
"That line is in there," multiple members of the cast said at once, referring to the upcoming film. "The line is in the movie and we're mercilessly doing impressions all the time," star Keegan-Michael Key added, before doing his own rendition of the classic line.
QuoteBlack elaborated, "What we strove for was a predator that's been bred as an assassin, so he incorporates traits from other species. So this one opens off his mouth really big and bites off your head."
QuoteIn an exclusive interview with Rhodes during San Diego Comic-Con 2018, Screen Rant discovered that the combination of Prince and the Predator prosthetics turned out to be a success. Rhodes explained that he not only appreciated and respected the craft of his fellow co-stars during what he described as "a long shoot," but also the technical accomplishment that Prince brought to the movie. He said:
"We were there for awhile. It was a long shoot. To have that with guys that you appreciate and respect their artistry and their craft and then you see them come into the person and be the person. And then we have a practical Predator! (...) Brian Prince, he's 6'10 (...) does parkour. It's perfect. The whole experience was just unparalleled."
QuoteYet the biggest skill on display was Jane's foot-free lifestyle (the actor explained that he spent years in a shoeless society, and was kicked out after wearing shoes to a restaurant). It was a moment that made everyone in the room think: Are you for real? "As a black man who has fought really hard to get good tennis shoes," said Sterling, "and to have good coverage on both of his feet. I'm like, this is a white man who's just like, 'My feet are tough enough.'" Whether they're tough enough to help The Predator crew outrun the enemy remains to be seen.
QuoteWith a cast of testosterone-fueled actors led by action icon Arnold Schwarzenegger, 1987's Predator features humor that's mostly a product of its era. Escalating competitions of machismo pepper the entire first half of the film, from super-jacked handshakes to boastful one-liners, including Jesse "The Body" Ventura's character describing himself as "a goddamn sexual Tyrannosaurus." The usual '80s action trope of the star dropping a pun or joke immediately before or after dispatching nameless foes is front and center. Interestingly, Black himself appears, early in his filmmaking career, as a supporting character who can't (by design) tell a joke to save his life, although though it never stops him from trying.
And when Schwarzenegger's Dutch finally comes face to unmasked-face with the titular alien hunter that's been pursuing him, it's built up as a scary encounter. However, Dutch undercuts the terror of the reveal by observing his extraterrestrial enemy is "one ugly motherf**ker."
In a way, that moment perfectly encapsulates what the entire film is about: a blend of action, science fiction and horror, but with liberal doses of humor. Predator makes the out-of-this-world premise more palatable by injecting it with a sense of fun. That's something most of the sequels and spinoffs miss out on.
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jul 20, 2018, 07:22:51 AM

They clearly want to push their new Super Predator as the main monster. "Look at what we created, just look what it can do to the old Predator......"
Maybe the Super Predator will be a decent monster and the movie will still be good but it's a little sad that the iconic original is being treated like this again, for the second time in a row.
The next 2 movies (if they make them) better have the classic Pred's kicking the Super's ass big time.

All this classic versus upgrade, and having classic win because he's the "classic" is as about as lame as the crap they continue to do with the T-Rex in the Jurassic Park movies to appease the fans. Its horrible story telling and pandering at best. Dont get me wrong, the super predator beating the classic one just to push it as the new baddie, is stupid too. But at least its not eye rolling trex breaking through a spinosaurus skeleton lame. Easily one of the most garbage moments in the Jurassic World movie.

Ah I think I've got it now, somebody probably said Classic went down like a bitch and CBR took that as to mean female. Still how this scenario is any different from Predators is mind boggling. I didn't like the super predator idea at all. Does anyone here welcome it for the second time?

It's not that the classic Pred dies, they die in all the movies, but it's how he dies.
Predator's are super strong, great warriors and skilled hunters, but they have made them look weak and useless in 2 movies now, that's the issue.
I'd be totally fine with the Upgrade killing the classic if it was a hard fought fight, with the classic holding his own for a while, instead of one hit and dead, like a little bitch.

Speak for yourself. As someone who was utterly pissed at that shit moment from JP3, I thought it was awesome.
Yes, it's shameless pandering, but it's not as bad as crapping on the "classics" to make the new baddie seem tougher. That's more eye-roll worthy for me. Heyo kids, our new toy is better and stronger than your dad's old model. You seem to agree with this as well, however, so I don't get the point of your post ("It's stupid that the super predator kills the classic, but having the classics winning is lame", so which is it??).

Except you didn't deal with a bigger and tougher Terminator in Terminator 2. The T-1000 and T-800 were still equally matched for the most part. It was just because of the T-1000's unique body, that you could never really put it down for the count for too long, as it would heal from every injury. And of course, over time, it would gain the upper hand against the T-800.
And the Alien Queen in Aliens was just a natural progression of the species. The Facehuggers hatched from eggs. So the question was, who laid the eggs? And the Queen wasn't even the focus of the Movie, as Ripley and the Marines dealt with regular Aliens, for most of the Movie. The Queen only came into play towards the end of the Movie and it didn't make the regular Aliens obsolete.
In The Predator, the regular Predator is apparently getting b**ch slapped around, before getting its head torn off, in a very one sided battle.

I still dont understand why he doesnt wear any armour, they said he doesnt need it, but armour plus bullet proof skin are better than just bullet proof skin, and it will look better, put also a mask, predator had different vision modes, he cant have all that vision modes with just eyes, they were effective because they can filter what they see.
It would feel more upgrade and less generic cgi moster

She is one hot woman for sure.
I'm just glad we've got Thomas Jane in a prominent movie again. He does a lot of crap. He's always putting in the work though.

I know this is splitting hairs, but I do believe that is a velvet pastel green jumpsuit. Indeed, a risky fashion choice which appears to have paid off with some viewers ;)

Yep it's a jumpsuit and a damn cute one too. If you guys can peel your eyes away from her breasts you can see the really cute star details along the side. ;)

Hah that's cute how excited he got over his action figure.
Regardless of how some people may feel about the concepts being explored in this movie, I think it's awesome hearing him say that they got to make a sequel that they wanted to see rather than a movie that is completely dictated by the studio.

Just read on a french websiteSpoiler
that the scene showed at comic con where upgrade kicks fugitive's ass contain a shot where we see from upgrade's POV, and apparently he has thermal vision without his mask, just like in P2... I don't know if i like this, already found that weird in P2...[close]

Interesting...
Not a good idea. Especially given that UpgradeSpoiler
has humanish eyes which means (for me at least) that he should see humanish as well...so less thermalvisionish (what a word, dammit :) ).[close]

That was a mistake in P2, don't remember if in the extras they admit that. But in AVP-R and Predators and they the same vision from first movie.
The Upgrade having that would only give benefits if he is hunting on Earth, in other planets it might make things worse.

True. It makes me wonder if the way in which they "upgrade" themselves is dependent on the planet where they spend the most time. Like, they tweak themselves for their favorite hunting planets.

Re :The Upgrade.Spoiler
From the way some of the dialogue has been changed and the way some of the promotional stuff is going, I think they've moved away from it being human-centric. It sounds more like Upgrade has been going around the galaxy picking out the best, and NOW he is on Earth. Not that he has yet taken in human-roid juice. That's the impression i'm getting from the last trailer and some of the press stuff. It seems like they changed it from emphasizing "human" to "lot's of species."[close]
