Agree that it is Billy and thanks for the input. That said, how did Anna get on the choppa? It would have had to land to pick her up fairly far away and then lift off again to get Dutch. It almost looked like she just materialized in the choppa when the Predator bomb detonated. It is nit picky and maybe there was a scene cut, but that's how it looked.

u saying Sonny looks a bit 'feminine'?? lol I wouldn't say that to hi face lol. its def Billy. as Keyes states to Harrigan in Pred2, '1 of his kind stalked and elimanted an elite squad, there were 2 survivors'.

maybe it is a purely scenographic choice, not everything must always have a meaning that corresponds to our questions, or that must answer our questions.

bloody hell, that's terrifying XD 

I don't know, this seems like Fox saw the success of DeadPool and said let's make it with predators (and without the funny man). But, by judging the trailer this definitely was more expensive than Predators, and they expect only a same-ish opening week-end?

Interesting after watching the last full trailer which had a lot of comedic smack talk and hip hoppy type music. 

I jumped in the YT pool and an alledged test audience member said it is actually more action/comedy than thriller. I hope it is a lying keyboard warrior.

I read this was going to be pretty scary, but this trailer really amps up the action/humor aspect. Still, this is looking really good.

perhaps their junk have mandibles too? 

Just putting it out there   o_0

Two other observations from the pics:

1- Predators don't seem to enjoy sensual massages 

2- IDK if it is lighting, but is that a face on the jewel guard? 

Say what you want but I bet you looked.

Predator vs Protoss

Predator vs Michael Myers

Maybe the Yaut'ja female's breasts could serve a different purpose?

Captive Yaut'ja: "These are my prized family jewels!"

Looks like Billy to me

Always appeared to be Billy to me, after Jungle Pred stripped him including the head band.

Of course Anna survived because she was a wom..a....eh I mean unarmed! 

I just knew this topic was started by you dk! :)

They value their junk, so keep it safe & secure! 

Predator vs Chewie+Porg :)

What seems interesting is that this seems like a Predator with no tech and all brute force. Pure. 

"This is predator not sexual predators"

Ha ha funny you should mention that i did have a Halloween costume idea before, were i was thinking of Dressing in Drag as a Female Predator... and when people ask... WHAT HAVE YOU COME AS.... i would be a Sexual Predator  i was also thinking of One of those Green Morph Suits, and make some stuff up that is similar shape to the Armour and Weapons but no Details, as i was going to Spray it all Green, and a Cheap Predator Mask etc..  so when people ask what i am doing... i would be like "oh i am a CLOAKED Predator, and it will look great on Video once the Special Effects are added"

But on a Serious Note i do think IF they introduced us to a Female Predator i could see them playing to a Feminine/Sexual side to it, to cause some Distraction. By that i think we would see a Actress who has a Muscular Body, yet a very Feminine Hour Glass Figure, so that they stand out compared to their Male Counterparts.

And as i have said on other Post... looking at the Male Predators LACK of Nipples, i would assume a Female would have NONE too and thus NO BREASTS and they would be more in common with a Reptile/Amphibian and so any hopes for some of seeing Busty Predator Females, would likely be disappointed, as i would expect them to appear like the MALE versions only more Slender, and maybe retain some Feminine Characteristics like Hips/Buttocks so indeed like some of the Models, Art out there but as far as the Chest Area.. i would expect it to be the same as  the Males, and i would even ponder if the Predators Lay Eggs  or Multiple Small Young that are Smaller than a Human Fetus, and these must Survive a certain stage on their own as a RIGHT OF PASSAGE

Its like i said before i dont think the Predator Franchise has as big a Negative Buzz about it, i dont think the AVP Franchise Damaged the Predator Franchise as much as it did the ALIEN one, by that Damage to the Xenomorph compared to the Predators.    The Predator Franchise has mainly been just about these Space Hunters....  where as the Alien Franchise as also about Ripley etc.

I dont know how much the Budget was but i do expect the Predator to hit past $200M and i would assume that would be considered a Success.  If the Budget is sub $70M Mark.

I dont think it has as big a BUZZ as Prometheus did when it hit the Box Office as a lot of folk would have seen that as Ridley Scotts return to the Alien Universe and i feel that contributed to a lot of interest to make it $400M

But i think Predator Fans are going to be more interested in this Direction of the next Movie,  after the 2010 Predators, than i would say Alien Fans would be after Alien Covenant.  

So what i am trying to say is i can see more Good Reason for Predator Fans to be Optimistic for this movie and Predators made just over 3X its Money back and i do think The Predator would Perform similar...

It does look like this Movie will have its share of Action, its also nice to know this TV Spot would conclude the Predator Ship was not brought down/crashed due to the Kid Crashing the Signal Device into those Toy Bricks etc.

@ dk,

Yeah, we are trying to keep coverage of The Predator positive, because the movies receiving enough negativity elsewhere (also why I've not covered any news on it in a while), the truth is this movie is facing an uphill struggle to make the money it needs to at the box office. We all hope the negativity is wrong but experience tells us to expect the worse. Either way, we'll find out when the first reviews and weekend figures come in in two weeks time.

Predator vs Super Saiyan Goku

Predator vs The Thing. 

The dog- a P3 reference? 

I have observed a generally positive vibe from the forum. As far as being a major blockbuster- I hope it, but I have doubts just because these movies don't seem to have mass appeal. That does not mean it will not break even. I cannot shake the feeling that this will be pretty damn good. 

Let's be honest here,

So far the build-up to this movie's release has been plagued with justified negativity from the fanbase and an evident lack of faith from the studio (reshoots, entire narratives and characters dropped, remaining narrative recycled from previous installments, delayed marketing), add the public perception of this movie, which is best summed up in one word - "meh" and then ask if we can honestly expect this movie to hit the magic $300 million marker in box office earnings. 

Movies like this, Solo, RoboCop (2014), Terminator: Genisys, Ghostbusters (reboot), The Mummy, Justice league etc. should never have been green-lit. When are studios going to learn that behind every good movie is a good story, a good script - studios need to stop throwing money at franchises and give them the due care and attention.

I've been waiting for them to show female Yaut'ja ever since Predator 2

Will they be a female predator in this movie? If they're looking for a shocker that would be the mother of all shockers!!!

Awesome voice over!

"The Predator rated R"

Very 80's

That dog scene looks wicked and dark!

G. H. (Gman) yeah, Alien Covenant made 2.5x its budget and the expected sequel is in limbo. Maybe it is important to not divide/generate hate from the fandom...

Remember, in order for the film to just break even it needs to make 2-2.5x its budget worldwide. It's not as simple as merely making up what the movie cost. It'd be nice to have a number to root for. If the movie did cost $70 million it's got to haul in $140-175 million before the studio considers it a success.

Love the engagement on the forums Wwarez, but I'm noticing in every post you make you embed links to your AvPCentral website. Which is cool, but the manner in which you're posting is coming off a bit like spam. This is why we allow for links in your signature, which you also have set to your site. 

We're all for encouraging growth in the community and I really dig your site! I just ask that you try not to make every post here an advert for your site. A link to AvPCentral will already be shown on every post you make anyways. :)

There are rumors there are some, but if so i think it could be Easter Eggs.  But anyone expecting any of the Lead from any of the Previous Movies could be Disappointed.

I think it would likely be someone only Real Deep Predator Fans would Recognize of the Bat... maybe they would be in costume/makeup that would hide who they are so you dont get a CLEAR view of who they are, and make you think "hang on they looked familiar"  where either the next Cameo by then, or 2nd time you see the Movie you would be like "i thought so/i knew it was"

I do think they will be pulling out a number of other Easter Eggs, and so i think we will see some One Liners from DUTCH (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and also HAWKINGS (Shane Black)

such as maybe when one of the Cast see the Big Mutha Predator we could see the Hawkings Line in his Joke changes she to he/it "its as BIG as a House"  i wonder if anyone will refer to the Big Mutha as a Sexual Tyrannosaurus?

Surely the "Stick Around" One Liner will make it, and the "One Ugly Mutha £$"£%"

How about Gary?

I dont think the Predator Franchise has had as big a Disappointment in Terms of expectations on them, compared to what they delivered, be that Box Office $$$ and Critics  :)   :(

I dont think the Predator Franchise has suffered as much degradation with the AVP Movies as the Xenomorphs/Alien had.

So i think this has the potential to make Money, i think any opening Weekend and Week, when compared to Budget, i think this Movie should do FINE.

Looking at the Cast, and how its much easier to Portray a Predator on Screen as far as Special Effects and Budget

Predators took just SHY of $25M on its opening weekend and so made back about 60% of its Budget. $40M

I expect The Predator to do just as well (plus inflation) and so i could expect about that $28-30M Mark.  As for the Budget, we cant be sure but i would expect it would be around $60-70M Mark

You can rule out Danny Glover since he is too old for this shit.

I would think ticket preorders would count as long as they are ordered for one of those days.
