Dan Trachtenberg To Direct New Standalone ‘Predator’ Movie ‘Badlands’ As 20th Ce

[Mr.Turok]

I hope that we get no more subspecies/super/hybrid Preds this time around and just get a mainstream Predator with color and facial variations that can have a proper closed mandibles. PHG had a great idea with various colors/patterns, and facial details like more tusks, horns, quills, and scars. That should be followed than just another JH color scheme.

[Mike’s Monsters]

Also cute was the statement that some day, we'll hear more about Blomkamp's project.

I was never particuarly excited about that movie itself, but I am VERY excited to learn as much as I can about what it was going to be.

The second I get the okay I'm spilling all the beans I can.

It's unfortunate that we have to "hope" for any of that. Instead of being excited for how the new Predator looks, we are all just waiting to see how awful it will be.

After 20 years of hopping and trying to get the fans to be united about that design problem, I've stopped.
Now, would you wish to watch a parody like Prey with a pred who looks cool ? Would you enjoy that pred in a very politically oriented bad movie ? I think not, I know I can't, that would be a waste.

[Wweyland]

Like with Prey, of course there already was a Predator: Badlands fan movie, featuring Cowboys vs. Predators:

speaking of: what's the usual nda expiration date on things like this...

because that thing was in development in 2015. It's been a while.

I like these a lot.  There's so much that can be done with a new Predator's appearance that has nothing to do with making them an entirely different species.  Tattoos, more "body hair", different hair styles, scars, amputations, etc.  Build upon the classic look with individual characteristics that can set them apart from each other.

Mine didn't have expiration dates, as I was a guest visiting a studio or someone working on the film. They just lay out that I cannot say anything until given an okay or information comes out officially. It's pretty tight and kinda dumb. But it's complicated. I've been told to keep quiet to not ruin relationships with Blomkamp, even though he's stated he wants nothing to do with the franchise and that a relationship already seemed to be tarnished.

But it's all politics behind the scenes. While we are eager to know every little detail, it's important to know real people were behind the project and there may other reasons we don't have the information due to personal things. Neil may have locked the project down or something, we don't really know. This stuff behind the scenes is never so simple.

I want to share it all. I want to inform the people.

[RidgeTop]

Such exciting news! I figured it was only a matter of time before we heard of another Predator film on the way but for one to perhaps be filming this year?! It feels like there's more in the works now than at any time before.

That bit with RidgeTop was cute.

Always love dropping a little cute @RidgeTop moment here and there.

Regardless of story details that may have not gone over well, I've always loved Blomkamp's style and was really bummed out when this fell through. I get it may be a sore topic for those involved, but I would also like to learn more about it eventually and I still feel a book should be published compiling all of the fascinating artwork that was produced.

I always liked Feral's design and although his unmasked face was a shock at first, I never hated it and actually started liking it. But I do agree that I think it's time for a more traditional looking Predator to make a return after the last three films. He can still have unique coloration, design elements, mask & armor that give him (or her) individual character.

Go woke, go broke? More like:
Go woke, save the franchise, make history in cinema and then greenlight 2 new movies.

[SuperiorIronman]

That gif makes me wanna see a cinematic "blade-cycle".

And yeah honestly for the problems I did have with prey, it's honestly really good. I don't think the "woke" talking points apply at all. It was a genuinely successful sequel whose biggest issue was that it launched in the wrong place.

Any idea who's doing the FX on this one?

[PAS Spinelli]

Being woke is not a talking point at all, being woke is infact good. Alien is for example very woke.

[[cancerblack]]

There can be something said for big corpos slapping a rainbow on something and expecting everyone to clap for them (it's bad), but art exploring different perspectives and making a point not to hurt people who are already doing it rough is different (as in, it's good).

Dane Diliegro has apparently been spending a lot of time at the Studio Gillis offices lately, so it seems likely that Alec Gillis & company are going to be handing the suit again this time around.
