Predator Reboot

[larrykidd]

I look forward to it. Might be good.

 

[hannay07]

Now that it is confirmed to be a sequal, Im super excited. I was not happy about the idea of a reboot. Hopefully Black can take things that made the original great and add to the next one

So it will take place after predator 2?
I always imagine a third movie following the origins of the elder of predator 2, i mean, i want to see how he got his flintlock, how people with less tech, deal with a predator, to me not a fair fight, but still wanted to see it, or if they will take on following the lost hunters, or ,maybe their homeland and tech origins, i dont know what their gonna do, or what route their gonna take, but as long as they stick to the original 2 in design and script, they should do fine, who knows, maybe we will enjoy this one ....hopefully

They explained where the elder got the flintlock in the comics

[Andre de Jong]

I would love to see a 'Lost Hunter' in the new movie (hoping not on a remake)

As much as I would love to see another pred film this is not the way to go. They screwed up RoboCop and they will screw this up as well. Tell me one remake/reboot that has been better than the original? There is no need to reboot this. There has been enough pred films to just keep it going. What's so wrong with making predator 3?? And another thing, what else happens with reboots? Redesign. You know its going to happen.

Robocop was a B movie to begin with back in the 80's . The original Predator is a classic

Taken from my Facebook wall - Caution, I use dirty words - 


I'll tell you what's on my mind, Facebook, and I will make you eat it... eat it all. I'm gonna shove it down your throat like a huge, barbed bear cock.

So, my Feed has been filled up with news about a Predator 'reboot.' What do I think about it? Well, if I were to tell you, I'd lose everyone of my friends on my friends list. But, I'm going to tell you anyway. Here's what I think about it. I think it's pretty damn ****** that most of you out there have already jumped on the bandwagon with "OH BOY!! MORE PREDATOR STUFF!!!" Are... are you that depraved and uninspired that you'd willingly take a shot right to the childhood balls, than to stand up and say, "No, Hollywood, I will not pay for your ******** anymore!!" Because you ******* disappoint me more than the piece of **** job I have. No, really... what the ****, man? You're willing to sacrifice everything that was the first movie just so you can see the "Predator" on screen again? First off, let me explain what "Predator" was... it was a stupid, testosterone driven film with a twist thrown in at the end. That's it. It's not that complicated, and I think the problem is, is that most directors that have tackled the character have over thought it, and tried to represent it as something it's not. It's not a thinker, folks; no, it's BOOM BOOM, BANG, ****, I'M DEAD - and an Alien. So, how is Shane Blacks version going to differ from the original? Is Hawkins going to live; is he going to be the badass who unintentionally slays the titular character? IS HE GOING TO MAKE A CAMEO? Are they going to "enhance" it with CGI? Yup. They're gonna over-do that ****. They might as well just CGI a bunch of dicks floating across the screen, because that's what it's going to be - and in 3D it'd be like the CGI dicks would be slapping the viewers right in the face. That's what you deserve. Because ******* video games sell!! I don't ******* care because there is absolutely no ******* reason to re-boot Predator. There is no conceivable REASON as to why it should be re-done. Oh, wait.. money. You remake this movie, and Hollywood is dead to me - honestly, though, really not a whole lot keeping me interested. BUT... this will be the defining moment when Hollywood has finally crossed the line, and I hope it gets AIDs. Is ther NO creativity left there? Why not do a time period piece with the Predator. Holy ****, the possibilities are endless - Japans Feudal Era, WWI, WWII, ANYTHING!! ****. Stop it, Hollywood, stop it or I'm going to take a huge **** all over you.


Also, if you don't like my opinion about a re-boot - let's here WHY you think a re-boot is plausible, relevant, and worthwhile. No, really. I want to hear valid points other than "Oh boy, I'll have new toys to buy!!"

You're treading on my dreams and childhood here, so tread carefully.

Not going to read all that LOL

How many of you know Directors, producers, effects teams? Do you honestly believe we band together and collectivly say lets make a ****** movie and rape the public on toys. Sometimes a movie works ..sometimes they dont. I friend of mine produced the film Solaris. in theory it had a winning combination. George Clooney in a thinker sci-fi movie. It was also a remake of a french film. They didnt go into it thinking it would flop. On the other hand movies become surprise hits. Predator was one of them. Hell, half the SWS Effects team didnt even want to work on it ..most were still on Monster Squad at the time and the rest wanted to be on the upcoming Pumpkinhead. Compile that with the fact that some of the same artists worked on it when it was 'Hunter" ( so i guess, Predator itself was a remake of an unfinished film) Nobody thought it would hit like it did .. It was the "lightening in the Bottle" that only happens everyonce in a blue moon.

As far as internet backlash and fandom ..well if "Hollywood" listened to everyone that complained. Michael Keaton wouldnt have been Batman, Heath Ledger woulnt have been the Joker. and Robert Downey wouldnt have been iron man

Wait no offense now your the voice  for all of Hollywood Really PT your what  Stan Winston/ Speilberg now all rolled into one ? Must be nice to have an ego like that . 
People have opinions here you need to deal with better  . Maybe put some of your energy into making some blanks for the members here less your to busy directing and creating the new predator helmet  oh great PT 


PS. the studio  did not want Robert as iron man John Fav fought with them till they finally gave in oh great PT. 
Enjoy the hobby .

PTgreek has been working the FX biz for a while now, having done a few features. I think his opinion is a little more valid with regards to the filmmaking process than the usual uninformed opinion painting Hollywood as some "shadowy" organization that wants to put out **** they know is ****.

LOL Its ignorant  and what does that matter if he makes Halloween masks or some props in movies and knows people in the business so do I should I name drop and **** on everyone here who has an opinion about this movie so I can beat my chest and drab my balls give me a break . PT  has nothing to do with a film being made at all . When he gets his name as Director or producer of a major film of ANY KIND then he can come on and get up on a desk and start preaching till then go make halloween masks . Opinions are like ******** everyone has one .

Way to take a legitimate thread and turn it into a 'see how much of a dick I am' thread.  George has the respect of allot of people both here and in the indusrty.  You, on the other hand have just pretty much removed what very little respect you may have had here.  Sad...

This thread has potential to be closed....

Crap movie or great movie, we all go see it, then we can give our opinions better, until now we are in the same situation as batman fans with ben affleck, lol
Predator movies have simple plots, yet they are great movies (1 and 2) i think as long as they stick to the original desing and similar plots (alien comes to earth to hunt humans) we are good, i dont know if its the correct choice of director, but maybe they will get us surprised, who knows

 

[A Hunters Moon]

Movieman, this will be the second time you've done something like this (the godzilla remake thread being the first) and it's obviously starting to grate some nerves. You made the statement that "People have opinions here you need to deal with better" and that's advice you should take yourself.   Browbeating or insulting our members is uncalled for.  It also adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.  So let's get this back on track before it goes even further.

I appreciate that what people like us want isn’t going to necessarily be commercially viable but I really REALLY hope they simply do a sequel/prequel and not an actual remake. The original has aged extremely well and still looks great.

One of the things I love about Predator is the cast, I thought the casting was great - can you imagine other actors playing the roles? I really hope they just leave it alone, it can’t be topped with CGI, different actors, etc, and I just can’t see anyone else playing those roles at all, especially if the wrong people get hold of it and try to use it as a vehicle or to “go in a different direction”. I have images of CGI jungle because the agents of today’s “stars” would never allow them to be transported to an actual jungle. I can just see it now…

Daniel Radcliffe as Alan “Dutch” Shaefer…

Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Blain…

Alfonso Ribeiro as Dillon

Owen Wilson as Billy…

Imagine the dialogue, Dutch Radcliffe delivering the classic lines such as…

“William, please endeavour to establish the most favourable means via which we may take leave of our present location”

“I am now firmly of the opinion that that you have executed a rather elaborate ruse in order to establish our presence under false pretences. I also firmly believe that the verbiage employed was nothing but a subterfuge, which one finds so disagreeable one could be compelled to invoke vulgar references pertaining to male bovine excrement!!”

“Pray tell, what would one propose as the most likely rationale for William’s somewhat out of character, morose and at times downright melancholic behaviour?”

“Please, I would compel you with as much ferocity as I dare to make an attempt to board any form of craft and facilitate departure. I would strongly advocate an aircraft that uses a rotor based lift system, as one will find this to be the most conducive to our current predicament, given the rather unforgiving environment in which we find ourselves”

And the all time classic…
“Should it haemorrhage, one would venture to consider the distinct possibility that as a collective we may be able to orchestrate the critical cessation of its vital physiological processes”

I think we all have mixed feelings, but we don't know what too suspect. Reboot or P3.

Like i couldn't wait for Jurassic Park 3, but when i watch JP3, i was so dissapointed, it almost killed mine JP heart.
But somehow i can't wait for Jurassic World!!

How come your "everyone has an opinion" statement sounds like "my opinion is gospel and **** you for disagreeing"? Fact is PTgreek IS an insider and thus has a better understanding of how movie making in Hollywood works. Also, being a director doesn't mean you're in the "know" any more than PT is currently unless you're a big name like Spielberg or Cameron. A fresh director always has to answer to a producer who has to answer to the studio. Only when you have a proven track record of hits do they let you off the tight leash. 

And honestly... this is Predator. I love the franchise as much as the next fan here but let's keep in mind it's a wicked action film with horror elements and cool characters not a visual thesis on existentialism. With Shane Black, the guy behind Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang on as the director I don't see how this is a recipe for disaster.
