No, it's not a remake... I'm not sure if it's a sequel exactly either, but it's a completely different story. Peep Butcher's link to Latino Review on the last page.

Reboot/remake... same difference here IMO.

by **travis-dane** on Mon Oct 12, 2009 11:57 am

It's a sequel to the first one. They wanted to make this one after the first one, but they decided to go the "routine"(cheap) way and keep it on earth.
And if Arnie shows up as Dutch, it sure is a sequel, Dutch is in the script, so there you go.

by **Nachokoolaid** on Mon Oct 12, 2009 10:44 pm

I don't know if I want to see Dutch. Maybe ten years ago, but now I think it might be disappointing

If it happens, it would be just a cameo. I can imagine an old gruff Dutch on the predator home planet...but it has to be short and sweet.

by **Cpt Kirks 2pay** on Sat Mar 13, 2010 12:04 pm

NO NO NO NOW STOP THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop all this rehasing!!! It don't WORK!!!!

Man audiences and movie makers need to grow up!!! So much about this film already looks like it was a waste of time.

Very little that's new here (Oh! We have a SUPER Predator now!!!). It's like it's Predator + 10% instead of a refreshing take on it.

It looks too much like what's gone before - people in a jungle being hunted by a Predator. It's been DONE!! Rodriguez or not, get over the bloody hype that this is gonna be a successful reboot. Predators is DONE! We've seen them all. And this film don't look like it's new enough to be a resurrection. People will flock to this in droves, somewhere in the backs of their imaginations they think that there is something that is gonna be a fresh take on the Predator that this will be a revelationary thing - I reckon they'll be wrong, as they sit there watching this it will occour to their consciousness that there isn't anything really startlingly original here and that they are just going own a REPEAT of what they've seen before.

The effect will be rather flat, and if they DO get a kick out of it, well then that just shows how dull the audience's brains are and how sadly easy to please they are, thus all the prequels, reboots adapatations and sequels coming out of Hollywood that audiences say they don't wanna see but end up DO seeing.

I tell you what at best this will be - the 1st Predator but with a bit extra on top, or maybe they'll just shift it a bit to the side to make it a little more different. But the theme's all there again. And that's just NOT good enough.

And also, PLEASE stop putting in references or repeats of the original movies in there like 'turn around over here!', it ain't smart or funny and it also shoots yourself in the foot about redoing it over to make it brand new. Rodriguez I think you're a gentleman for doing this movie. Total example of geeky fanboy w**k over about a film that fails.

I wouldnt say that the predator series is dead, nor has everything been done with the charecters .

after AVP, there series needed a jolt again. This bad boy makes cash, we could see more unique predator films Predator in time, Predator vs Dinosaurs, Predator in the Future.. and so forth. And as a predator fan, IM all for that

by **TheButcher** on Sat Mar 13, 2010 1:18 pm

I wouldn't mind seeing the Predators treated like real characters. I mean a movie that is just about the Predators without people. I would like to see them against a stronger foe too. Predators vs Dinosaurs would be cool!

Now that sounds original but It'd have to be subtitled and you'd have to find a way in to make the characters sympathetic so I doubt it'd ever happen which is a shame.

Worked in the comics though, didn't it? It'd work on film, just that a lot of people wouldn't go for it maybe. Worth the shot. You could have done so much more with this new movie, show an entire universe never seen before. new stories, new planets, ships, characters, dilemnas, dimensions of the Predator's characters, and different other species and action.

Instead, same ol same ol. THIS is why Predators fail.

Anyway, a lame idea for a Predator film. 'Predators in Texas'. One Predator says to the other "Hmmm, not as good as B & Q is it?"
THE END.

by **John-Locke** on Sun Mar 14, 2010 12:14 pm

I hadn't thought of that, Apocalypto was very much reminiscent of Predator for the final act.

How about Predators with The Naked Prey, which would be pretty much like Predalypto anyway.....

by **thefraze** on Sun Mar 14, 2010 11:41 pm

Rodriguez's 1994 script, "Predators," wasn't that good... at least I didn't care for it much. I know quite a few changes have been made, but I'm still unsure. Not to mention, my concerns with Nimrod Antal and... (what the fuck?) TOPHER GRACE. Ugh.

Fishburne seems to be a replacement for Dutch, Scwhartzenegger's character from the first film, who made an appearance in the original script.

I heard the movie was about kids going on dates for the first time, and features them scrubbing up and covering themselves with Brut aftershave, kinda like Arnie with mud in the original, its gonna actually be called PreDATERs,

by **TheBaxter** on Mon Mar 15, 2010 9:29 am

i think they should make a film where a Dateline NBC crew lures the predators to a house with a hidden camera by talking to them on an internet chatroom... and then they get more than they bargained for.

I disagree.

To me when you get through all that bullcrap like 'Oh wow I've got real wonderful characters here and we get to see this and see that' it all just boils down to the same ol concept/story from the first movie, guys being chased by an alien force in a jungle, no matter how differently you dress it up. For a movie that's trying to restart a worn out series, you can't get much closer to the first film and that's NOT what I want. Nothing that feels different enough here that could make a refreshing do-over movie the way I HAVE seen it done before. (Don't like to say it, and even though I STILL don't approve of the fact of your existence, Star Trek Babies, I'm looking at you. Coochee cooo.)

You know, I love how we watch all these 'coming attractions!!!' of an upcoming movie, how they try to sell all these cool stuff to us like 'oooh we got THESE new Predators!' 'We got CHARACTERISATION!' 'THIS new action scene!' 'THIS new approach!' 'Oooooh I LOVED Predator when I grew up with it, THAT'S why I'm gonna be so faithful to it and bring something new never done before' and geekgasming idiots buy it, but it all just adds up to pretty much shit in the end (SW Prequels and all your little tidbit news, like "OMG we got WOOKIES!", that I used to check out every day before the films ended up being shit, I'm looking at you!).

This Predator movie just looks like it's gonna be the same. Time it's all added up, shot and then edited, what we DO end up seeing won't lend that much extra layer or dimension, anything to make this movie superior. Or it could just end up being shit, the way it's all executed.

What I've seen so far don't look much more like 'Wow. They've got new toys'. And we all know that Toys alone, a movie don't make.

Robin Williams' Toys, I'm looking at you.

Big mouths that are all slobbery and wet and slippery that you can insert your own predating muscle into. If you want a proper movie of this ilk, then how about watching my non self hyped/whored documentary named Walter and the Tigers? Plenty of real scary molesting action of the slippery kind going on there. Only it's ME who's the monster and the Sharks that are the molested prey. Operators are standing by for orders.

Would you like to know more?

I'm kind of confused though... This film is supposedly a sequel to the first "Predator" film right? The plot details that the Predators have lost a couple of battles against humans and they want to study our hunting skills in this game preserve of sorts - right?

So... how is the original predator in this film? Or are they simply saying the mold/character design is the same? From the way it's been described... the predator himself, that fought Arnold, is in this movie - and that's awesome, if this movie is a prequel...

but i would assume the "previous battles' would relate to Dutch... so... hmm.

No, I think it is a prequel to the first movie.
