Next movie will be with an kid ? Maybe an 7 years old (kevin wich forget him mom in jungle...) will kill a Predator ??? I am very sad the Predator became a joke :( 

Sry for my opinion ,...

i like this post, this is really good

You guys needs to show more respect to the abilities of the Predator fighting against all these weaklings..with the first you where in suspense and a mystery and both soldiers and predator were bosses in their field so u Didn't know who going to be on top.seeing big Arnold hiding in mud now understanding the attributes of the Predator and had to use his surroundings and experiance to triumph..

the new Predator you are like and am sure Predator wouldn't have a problem with them .then you see it you like qth is this. lol no way she(Indian girl)  ,Roddie , The black guy  suppose to beat that Pred. bullshit..walk out cinema like the duck was that.it was a clear win for pred. and the humans were very weak.

I am on the FENCE with this.....

It depends on Execution and so i DOUBT it would be as BAD as The Predator (WHICH WAS AWFUL). That Movies Plot was GOOD... it worked... the Writing of the Script the Execution of it and the Stupidness in some of the TECH and the Goofyness of some of the Movie made it AWFUL..... shame as the Barebones of the Plot Worked.

With PREY its too Early to tell...... The Plot could be Interesting, the Effects....  but it Depends on the Execution and i think we have some HOPE that this Movie should be more SERIOUS.

But i kinda have a Hunch where this is going... and well it may RUB some People up the Wrong Way.... but it could give a NEW Dimension to the Predators Technology ;)

I think its too early to tell 

That being said, I sure hope its better than Shane Black's atrocious attempts at making a Predator movie.

mailia,
Nothing in Dan Trachtenberg's resume suggests it could possibly be anything as awful as The Predator without overwhelming studio meddling.

G. H. (Gman)

Yes we finally agree on something

I miss the answer: "It will be bad equally". :D Well, maybe it will be a bit better, because the main predator will be a classic predator played by an actor in the suit. But the story will be stupid equally. I can't help myself I feel a big feminist cliché from that. (Lately, it has not been very successful to write a good and believable main female character.)

Yes.

On the count that The Predator is as low of a bar as you could achieve in not just this franchise, but many others.

great!

Lack of charm at the very least

Heat is desired because it makes the flesh warmer and easier to detect not because they have some heat love.

They like conflicts and wars because in these situations those who are alpha are better recognizable, and they want to hunt alphas, leaders, they analyze before they hunt - your inteligence, leadership and tactics, then they reveal themselves if you are smart enough to survive the first attack. Usually all your associates are first to be killed, to provoke you, to make this matter more personal, to involve you in the fight where you actually want to fight and not give up, aswell as lower your chance to survive, to make you aware that you are being hunted aswell etc. So one way to look at it its fair, you do have the means to defend and to defeat the hunter, he made you aware of him as a threat. Its kill or be killed.

They dont just come to a village in summer and start blasting people. There is no honour and no challenge. They kill those who are willing to kill others, and the more you are capable to do this the more honour they have when they slaughter you.

The new movie must have some conflict in the story, perhaps tribes against tribes prologue and then the "watchers" choose to hunt those who are worthy to hunt.

"This odd formation of branches and bones, we assume could be part of a lair or Predator hunting camp"

This looks like a BIG FOOT Structure....

Maybe this Movie will Indicate that the Predators are where the SKIN WALKERS and Big Foot Mythos had Originated.

Thats my BET ;)

we need a Predator protagonist for the next movie

Looking forward to seeing images of this! Please do keep us updated!

that's unfair

That sucks

I think maybe a Compromise could be Reached... if NOT then while Disney can not use the Predator.... the Thomas Brothers will also likely NOT be able to use the likeness of the Yautja so its like a LOOSE/LOOSE situation.

Well when they Purchased the Rights then the PREDATOR Franchise was a BIG reason for them doing so......

The Thomas Brothers are likely looking to make some $$$$ because WHY NOT... they had Created a Iconic Character..... One that makes MONEY to this Day.

They however do-not OWN the Visual Look of the Predator and so Disney could just re-brand the Franchise a Different Name and give a Back Story to the Yautja

Then that leave the Thomas Brothers with their IDEA that they could maybe get someone to Continue with but then NOT be able to USE the Iconic Appearance of the Predator.

A WIN/WIN would be a Compromise and Royalties for Future use of the Predator Character.  But Disney could go and give us a Movie where the Yautja do-not go Hunting and there would be NOT a lot that the Thomas Brothers could do about that.

But this would be kind of like taking away the Egg and Face Hugger stage of the Xenomorph in a ROW between say O'Bannons Estate and Disney...  the name ALIEN, and Xenomorph and Aesthetically how they look would be Nothing to do with O'Bannons ideas and design for instance.

I hope the Predator movie can escape from the grasps of Disney, sadly Alien couldn't do the same

Even though I'm not a predator guy I hope that the creators win. Disney didn't invent it, they just own it. Big sigh

If this is true it shows that Disney is only in it for money. Weyland Yutani anyone?

Agree.

Hope the original owners win, because screw disney and their politics!

There was some Pretty Interesting Concepts for sure

Cheers...

I think it would be interesting to see them Introduce this Earlier Design into a Future Predator Movie as another ALIEN Species... obviously the Concept/Idea would need some Altering to take into account Advancements with Tools/Technology/Special Effects.

As Dutch would say- That's one ugly MF.

Dood catch BigDave.

I think its Interesting they released this.... seems to just have it as a Alternative Mask.

When i look at the Original

I cant help but see some Similarities with this ;)

This is a mistake. 

YES! Let's go!!!

Please stop. The source of these news were those who said that there are 2 Alien series in the making !!! Are they reliable?

BigDave 

I agree

Certainly ;)

Having looked more into a PG-13 (i am from the UK) then i realized more now just HOW restrictive that would be.

And so Absolutely as i mentioned before, the Predator is Synonymous with Tearing Out Skulls and Skinning its Game.

You could take that away and still release a TV Series, it may UPSET some Fans... but then when looking at a PG-13 then we would also have to have NO Severed Limbs, or Decapitations and Practically NO Blood... Especially RED.

Predator 1987 all Deaths

These would FIT within a UK 15, but a PG-13 i doubt... i NEVER knew how restrictive that was...

However.... was the AVP Movies not PG-13?

I think if we got a Predator TV Series then it could be more likely we would be looking at Fight/Action Scenes that are only as Gruesome as the Marvel Franchise Movies...

Predators are Renowned for their Honor, and so getting UP CLOSE and Personal would be seen as a more Honorable way to KILL its Target.

And so using their Spears, and Wrist Blades is all PART of that Parcel when it comes down to Showing what a Predator does.... and so to have these Shots where there is NO Blood.. would just NOT be Predator at all.

so as i was saying if it was Catered for a UK  Cert 15 which would mean a USA R then only the Extreme Gore would have to be Toned Down...

But a PG-13 would just NOT cut the MUSTARD!

However... as you said KManX89 until we get a Official Confirmation then we have to take it with a Pinch of Salt.

A Predator TV Series could make Sense.... but a Diluted Down PG-13 would be something that would NOT please a lot of the Fans at the Trade Off to try and introduce 12-15 Year Olds to the Franchise.

We DONT Need... Nudity or Swearing, but a Predator TV Series with NO BLOOD... would be a Disappointment.

Also, funny how you bring up Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos when I'm pretty sure those are R-rated works. The Cthulu games are all rated M and the Call of Cthulhu indie film is R. 

However, there have been plenty of PG-13 films of R-rated franchises and look how those all turned out, LOL! But it's not gonna happen because We Got This Covered isn't a reliable source for anything, so it's a moot point.

No, a Predator series (or anything Predator really) should NOT be PG-13, it's about an alien that hunts humans for sport, collecting their heads as trophies and peeling off their skin. There's nothing PG-13 about that. A Predator movie/series without that is like making a Jet-Li movie where he doesn't beat people up, it makes no sense. And no, it's not insulting to audiences, it's called realism. What WOULD be insulting to fans is having Predators skin humans alive and Xenomorphs bursting out of people's chests with no blood whatsoever.

Fortunately, it's not happening since We Got This Covered isn't credible for anything.

I don't need to see the gore...my imagination can fill in the gaps

Exactly. The original Alien and Predator weren't even showen until well into the film and are solid classics. I think excessive gore and swearing for movies like these is actually insulting to an audience.

Lovecraft, Verne, Wells, Shelley,etc... created amazing pieces of work without being graphic. Takes zero talent to produce blood and gore...could hire anyone on the planet to give us that. Not many humans on Earth can give us plot and characters. Gonna be tough either way.

 Well both Alien and Predator are dead, seriously a PG-13 rating! Oh my god, just let these poor old alien monsters have a peaceful death. They don't need to be paraded around with the freaking Disney + logo plastered on them. 

I think that does-not have to be the case, provided the Story is Good and its Applied well and Executed well...

Nudity, Sex, Excessive Swearing and Vulgar Language are NOT that Necessary to tell a Story in the Predator Universe.

Violence and a bit of GORE are however... we dont need as much Gore as The Walking Dead... Personally i think the USA Rating Systems are FLAWED!

The UK 15 Rating is Perfect for a Predator Franchise.. but with the USA that would make it SIT between a CERT PG-13 or a R

And so to CUT things from a 15 Cert UK to a PG-13 does mean the Removal of a lot of stuff that would be seen as Necessary to a Degree with a Predator Franchise.

So what i am saying is that IF they cater the TV Series to a UK 15 i dont think it would effect too much of what they could show that would make a Decent TV Series set in the Predator Universe.

However... IF they are to try and get it to a PG-13 then i think there are some of the Violence and Gore that would be Restricted a bit too much for Predator Fans....  there would be NO Scenes of Skinned Humans, or Skulls being Pulled out of the Body with Spine Attached..

These are TWO things that Fans do Associate with the Predator Franchise... it would be like taking away any Chest Buster Scenes from a Alien TV Series and removing any Direct Impact Shots of the Xenomorphs Mouth Attack on a Human Skull.... which are again TWO iconic Elements that ALIEN Fans would associate the Xenomorph with.

So i think a UK 15 could do the Predator Franchise Justice... but a PG-13 would have to CAST AWAY some of the more Iconic Violence/Gore that are associated with the Predator Species..

At least its NOT a Cert 12A or else the Predators may as well be a POWER RANGERS Villain lol

For the Record i therefor think a PG-13 would be Restrictive somewhat.
