... and just like that, a day after 'The Predator' moved to avoid releasing on the same day, 'The Equalizer 2' has moved from August 3 to July 20. Will 'The Predator' move again? :-)
Disappointing that we have to wait, but I am all for them getting everything they need/want to do do, done. So yeah. I really hope this film can deliver. I don't need something exactly like the first (which this seems to obviously not be), so this odd direction could be awesome.
August 3 also sees the release of 'The Equalizer 2', another rated R movie. Albeit, they are different genres, I think 'The Predator' moving to September 14 (which was 'The Equalizer 2' prior release date) is a good move as there won't be as much competition then. It also gives them a little more time to "button up" any adjustments.
Is better that they take their time to make the film good at least, instead of rushed film.
Exactly! I'm really hoping The Predator exceeds our expectations and that Fox / Disney continue to pursue this franchise and expand its universe. There is so much that can still be explored.
Fantastic stuff!! Shows with a bit of imagination there is still plenty of life left for the franchise, just needs a solid script
WOW! This is some of the best artwork, or any kind of image, I have ever seen when it comes to Predator!
Yeah, he's incredibly talented. All of his work is mint!
Im keen for the trailer Shane Black. Chop Chop lol
It is so more the comment gta money generator in the fast to the game.
God I hope this doesn't turn out to be another Robocop 3...
Shane Black is smart. I bet there are still some surprises waiting to be unleashed for the fans. Fingers crossed for Arnold coming back.
Yep me too... it appears the Plot is also a bit well not too original.
Bigdave, I heard the test showings had awful responses! They said its even cheesier and goofier than SW Last Jedi.
That's a long wait! Although, I actually try to avoid everything except the first trailer for something I want to see, so these late marketing campaigns (for this and Solo) is actually ideal. I'm getting super excited for The Predator!
Indeed i think if handled right they could be interesting....
I have only seen the movies. I think female Predators could help enrich the franchise- possibly giving added depth and new possibilities to explore.
Realistically, it could appeal to a whole new demographic :)
The more sci fi fans, the merrier!

All they did is trash the established background of the franchise and expand it with generic SF bullcrap.To quote the guy who attended the early screening "ridiculously horrible".
it could also mean they have a surplus of material to finally expand the predator universe with....
Interesting info, this mean they already understand that the movie will fail at the box office, and they need to make some money from it with these novels.There are people who are still in denial but mark my words, paying for this movie is like giving 10 bucks to the guy who screwed your girlfriend.
Not much of a synopsis. Hopefully an actual sneak peek of the plot comes out soon.
Yeah, trully dead.This new proves that the leaked script was completly true.Without the Thomas bros, Silvestri, Legacy/Winston, and a good director, no sequel is gonna be worthy of our hard earned cash.
Predator franchise 1987-1990 RIP.
This movie got terrible reviews by sample viewers. I think I'm waiting for DVD on this one. Predator is a dead series.
I didnt think there was much to explore seemed pretty evident what they do and why they do it for the most part.
Hope they don't go full Ghostbusters 2016! Will add to my list of movies to never watch - right next to Pacific Rim Uprising.
One thing is sure, the boycott is the only way to give something back and send a strong signal to the studios : your stupid ideas suck hardcore.Give us a sequel in the vein of the best predator movies, Predator and Predator 2.I'll watch this one for free just to see how bad it will look like onscreen.
I will have to save my judgement until i seen the movie.
The original movie was so interesting simply for the same reasons the first ALIEN movie was, were we had this Beast/Hunter who is stalking and killing off each human one by one.
You hardly saw the Predator until the end, the same goes with the Xenomorph in Alien... Predator 2 we got to see the Predator too much and i think that movie was not to well done.
So i think the Franchise has to try and do something different, and this is what this movie appears to be attempting and so it could indeed split opinions.. much like how the ALIEN prequels have.
When you have seen how the Plot/Portrayal of the Predator in each movie has been which includes the AVP movies, if they go for a Lone Predator hunting people in the shadows, we just a remake of Predator. If we have a more Urban Setting we could see a AVPR and Predator 2 kind of flick. If we look at AVP and Predators these two also have a similar way to deal with the Predator.
So it is a question of how do you try something different? I think this could be what they are attempting here.
If they stick to the Vietnam War style gallows/dark humour...and manage to deliver it, it'll be fine I reckon. I can look past the predators wearing pants business as long as there is fresh and interesting story.
Chris agreed about the genetic splicing thing though. No need to muddy the waters with concepts like that. Predator already has a good premise, they just need to expand it, not change it up.
Keep it clean, make em mean! lol
I think the comedic factor will be similar to the original, with cheesey one-liners and crude humor, which i am all for. Every Predator film has utilized humore in some capacity.
In regards to the reinventing of the mythology. I do have concerns as well. I really really hope they don't scrap what made the Predator so iconic and unique. The genetic splicing angle is a stretch and kind of cliche with regards to alien films. Leave the Predators be as hunters which adhere to a specific and unique code of ethics. Like you guys said, there is plenty to expand upon, Hollywood has barely scratched the surface of this franchise, but I hope they don't ruin its further potential by going too far left field with this one.
Yeah this really worries me. Comedy? This movie needed to be dark.
Made an account just to comment on this ...
From what I've read about what surfaced on the plot of the new movie it's hot trash. It's just Shane black needing to re-invent the franchise and creature similar to the Mandarins treatment in Iron-man 3. There isn't a need to can the mythology of these aliens trophy hunting in favor for hunting for "better genetics". The Mythology needed expansion absolutely not re-invention.
Absolutely worthless ... I hope this isn't the final nail in my favorite movie-monsters coffin ...
Not surprised. Everything about this movie looked awful. It's been a long time since we got a decent Predator movie and I don't think we will ever see another good one.
I was excited before but this really worries me. Like really.
The script is filled with crappy humour and slapstick situations that's for sure.
