I'm looking forward to this.
still il see it
i loved the original movie.

mostly just curious, but what do you think is particularly horrible about the casting? is it acting chops, or the look of them? or do you think that big names shouldn't be attached to this sort of project, that they should promote some unknowns?
keep in mind this isn't a re-make, but more of a direct sequel, whereas the others took the franchise in other directions.
+1
I was against this remake/reboot/sequel thing at first, then I remembered how bad the original was, and this can not be any worse.
Try watching predator again, without the nostalgia goggles on, and see it for what it really is.
apr1: Clash of titans
May28: Prince of persia
and now
somewhere in July: Predators
Actually, Rodriguez is not directing - Nimrod Antal is (a fellow hungarian). AFAIK RR only wrote the story. You might have seen Kontroll from Antal a couple years ago, (and he also did Armored which I've heard kinda sucks though
But Kontroll is awesome, and a lot of people in the US and Kanada liked it; and he brought the same director of photography, Gyula Pados, for Predators too, so it's probably gonna look nice.
I am not really liking Adrian Brody in this, though. He never sold himself as a tough ass muthafucka, at least in none of the movies I watched with him.
I'm excited that Rodriguez knows that competing with the original is pointless. I trust him to know what to do for the betterment of the film, even if it means going against what the audience thinks they want.
Topher fucking Grace?
Adrien fucking Brody?
this movie is trying to hard to be something it can never be while bearing the current name.
they should change it to something more like "twilight - alien hunter saga"
As a film in a long line of Arnie vehicles, it wasn't so bad , when compared to things like 'Commando'.
Looking forward to this. :thumbup:
I actually really like the second one, whereas most fans don't. I liked how they went a totally different direction and put it in a new setting. The whole film has a mood to it too, moreso than the first one I think. It's dark and dirty and it just feels like it's 120 degrees in every scene. Good stuff.
just in case people wanted a bit better looking version.
That's not necessarily saying much.
lol I think we should forget about any AVP movie, well the 1st one was ok.
because everyone knows Adrien Brody can't act...
The second AvsP movie had a far better predator character, and some decent fighting between the two alien species. But once again, it tanked hard on the human factor. Teen angst has no place in a confilct between movie monsters. The film also had far too many obvious and contrived references to the previous films in both series.
I think separating the two franchises is the right way to go. I'm keeping my expectations dialed back for this Predators film. But so far, it looks like it could be entertaining. I like the way Adrian Brody's voice sounds in the trailer. And Laurence Fishburn can make almost any line sound good. I also like the idea of dumping a group of humans into a Predator game reserve. We'll see how this plays out.
Hehe, agreed.
The single fact that Anderson is not directing it makes me optimistic. But having both Brody AND his nose in the film is like a cherry on top. That guy makes some amazing facial expressions; he's easily one of my favourite Hollywood actors.
I'm not fired up about the "PIANIST" being in this. But Morpheus.. Fuck yeah. The rest look cliche at first glance.
Agreed, too bad he isn't directing and this isn't "Robert Rodiquez's Predators"
He's only a producer/faceman to sell the movie and the actual director is a confirmed hack, so let's keep this all in context.

Two words... Topher Grace.
thank you!
only good part about this movie is Oleg Taktarov.
I'm not ready to write him off because he was in a sitcom
Nimrod Antal is directing it.
/Distasteful groan
I have no idea why they can't just make Predator 3 - A story about a gang of seemingly battle-superior aliens that come to earth, to get their ass eventually handed to them by a weaker protagonist, and that's it. None of this silly, gimmicky crap like quadrupedal, horned dogs or Topher Grace?
It's that sort of franchise advancement that gave Robocop a jetfuckingpack in Robocop 3.
Official Trailer is up

Nothing immediately stands out as sucking. I'm sure the purists will still find something to hate.
Also quote off Robert Rodriguez:
Enough said.
