Predator Reboot

Art Andrews said:
The Lair came along shortly after AVP revitalized the Predator franchise and just as hype was being built for AVP2. It didn't matter that both of those movies were terrible...
I may actually be the only person in the world who LIKED the first AVP.  ;)

OK, the second one was terrible.  ;)
 
Jose, that Channing Tatum comment nearly made me hurl.  Thanks for that!  :p  Next you'll say Nick Cannon for Dillon.  Urg, thankfully it's a sequel and not a reboot now.

Lol
I regret saying it
Dillon...nick cannon....yuck!

Nobody could beat the original cast
Not even the rock as dutch, thats that
 
lets face it ..any pred is good pred ..even when the movies itself lacked ..they at least featured our favorite monster. there were elements of every film that i liked. AVPR even had its moments .the design was fantastic ..i just wish it wasnt so dark. The artists did some fantastic sculptures and paint jobs. As for the effects team for the new one ..I really wonder? SWS is Legacy now ..they are kinda the giant robot and suit guys and not a lot of traditional sculpting goes on there. Id love to see Spectral Motion or Iron Head FX get a crack at the designs.
 
Just not too far off the range for what a predator "is" and "looks".  I liked the armor and bio designs in Predators, but the Berzerkers [whatever they're called] really went out of the spectrum to me.  It wasn't "believable" for me.  At least in the other films, it looks like the bio could actually fit the full sized hero mask.  In Predators, there is no way the bios they used would fit a full sized Berzerker head.  Would be nice to get back to having only one pred in a film too.
 
I'm gonna have to agree munson.  A lone Predator seems to be more believable than pack (?pride, gaggle, herd, murder?) hunting together.  It's also nice to know that I'm not the only person who thinks the berserker was out of place.  My hope is that they play off of where P2 left off.  If they put any thought into it at all, they could make quite a few new movies based off of the lost hunters we saw at the end.  For me, the 2 things that could ruin the movie entirely would be too much use of cgi, and any, ANY reference to the crappy comics, games, or novels that came afterward.

P.S.  Nice to see the thread has made a turn back toward the OT!

I remember watching AVPR, the part that wolf goes following the alien fluid
Then he starts throwing triangles with bolts at the walls
I was like "what hes doing? Whats that?"
And then i see lasers and an alien gets sliced........that was cool
And i had to see the movie 3 times to notice the wolf burn in the face :(
But its hard to beat the predator 1and 2
 
I'll just be happy to see another Predator. Each and every film is great in its own way.

P1, say no more.
P2, new weapons, the Lost Tribe, P2 himself
AVP, Celtic bio and wether we all admit it or not was a great movie, cash cow or not.
AVPR, Wolf and everything about him,
Predators, get see some new tech.

No **** it I like em all, every single last second of each movie.

Thank you Shane Black, when you signed my bio at the Iron Man 3 premier in London I to you, you were part of somthing that changed my childhood I've never forgot. Lets see you do the same now I'm nearly 40. Here's to see what he does. You've got my vote and I've no clue what it's even about yet let alone what my favourite film character will look like this time around.
 
The only thing i would critic about predators is that they called them super predators, but they didnt had anything about super
I mean p1 from predators was kicking his ass, who knows how long was he hanging there without eating or taking his sup,ements and yet he almost had him

I would like to see a female pred, or an elder kicking ass, because they are the elite, they have gone thru epic huntings and battles to get to be an elder
 
I'd really love to have a peek at "Yautja Prime" (including Elders, Females, and possibly their Young) and then have the movie shift to the epic hunt of 1 Predator (THAT SURVIVES!!!)

I'd also be interested in seeing some of the other aliens to whom some of the skulls on City hunters trophy wall belonged too.
 
I too would love to see the other creatures that they hunt. In every series you are teased with a trophy wall. I have paused and brightened the screen in AVPR and it's amazing to see all of them including the Space Jockey Scull
 
just a correction..

The lair came about long before the AVP film 2004.  Larry kidd and myself came up with the idea for this forum back in the old RPF days.

Hopeful the new film won't suck ass.  i'm sure some will like it others won't...it's the way it's always been.
 
I read through some of these responses. I feel the only way they could pull of a reboot is to still give it the same time line, same location, and use the original p1

I guess you are correcting yourself since you were the one who gave me the 2006 date which coincides with both the domain registration and your join date... but hey, if we are rewriting history by when someone had an idea, I get to claim the Dented Helmet was founded in 1983! Sweet!
 
not really I am actually correcting you, the original forum was founded back in the EZboard days November 28th 2002 to be exact...

there were other "niche" forums on EZboard along with the lair, brotherhood of the bat, The hive and a few others before YUKU took over

I don't rewrite history...I made it.

here ya go...
