Robert Rodriguez's PREDATORS Movie Thread - SPOILERS

[CelticPredator]

These ____ers are just nasty steriod junkies who ____ed with their DNA and such. I'm assuming they arent the new Predators. They may be the new Predators in this film, but they wont be the standard norm.....


Hopefully.


If that's the case, then ____ this ____. But in the script they came across as ____ed up junkies.

 

[Matt13]

I read the script too, and thats how I understood it was they were outcasts who would do anything to become more powerful.

I'm not completely sold on the unmasked versions but with the masks they great and I'm still excited for this movie.

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum (well, I've been a lurker for a few months), and I just had to make an account to discuss all the haterade surrounding the predator pics!

First of all - they look VERY predator-ish to me. The super predator, of course, looks different than what you'd expect - that was the point. It's original, and never been done before - but it seems people don't want things that are original in the predator franchise anymore, almost to the extent that the terminator fans don't want originality in the terminator franchise.

Second, you do realize that they aren't stills from the movie? In the movie, there's going to be different lighting, sounds, they will be moving around etc. I edited the first three pics in photoshop to just change the lighting a little , I did nothing else....

Compare them with the first three (.. of which I still thought were pretty darned good) and they look loads better; presumably just like they will in the movie.

Third - if all else fails, this will spark new interest in predators and we'll get some hot new predator collectibles to put on our shelves

And a lot of you guys are acting kinda like *********s - really guys, it's a movie, don't tear out each others' throats because of it...

SUBspecies means same species.

Winston predator have soft frog skin.
(as well as "pseudoclassic" from the new movie)

Rodrigators have heavy crocodile-type scales.

they are different species.

Fair point, but Nimrod Antal is on the record as saying these Predators are supposed to have experimented on themselves. Given this is a species for which interstellar travel is apparently trivial, who knows what their biotechnology allows - a replacement, tougher skin would seem an obvious move (and explains the lack of traditional Predator mesh). Actually I find this explanation for the differences far more SF-convincing than the 'subspecies' idea.

I also rather like the idea of these 'killers' (to borrow the comic term) induge in ornamental self-mutilation or warpaint to make themselves look more fearsome; perhaps Mr Black's lack of a crown constitutes horrific and frightening scars for a Predator, like Two-Face's half missing face? What better to prove you're a nutcase than cutting half your own head off....

Point is, these changes are minor enough to be judged on their own merits - it's established that these are NOT 'traditional' Predators, and deviating from the established look should not in itself be an issue.

Fair point

(bio)logical!
i'd prefer "shark and dolphin" to "agaaaain those boring comics mutants, kids get away from predators, stick to your x-men".
but, as the movie will follow the tradition of 21 century sequels to suck, i don't care.

p.s.

 

[GDZILLA95]

Hey, does anyone have any pics of the other two new Preds unmasked? Do all three of them have the same type of head structure?

 

[fawk3s]

Seems like only Mr. Black's face is revealed. Im guessing they all look similar from their head/face structure point of view though.

You're a nerd. I'm a nerd, everyone who collects toys and goes on a forum is a nerd. What's the big deal?

I dont see myself as a nerd, no way.

 

[THE IMMOBILIZER]

Is that pred a burn victim Not sure I like it Is there a reason why he looks like that?

Becouse its a new movie, and new movies need new s#it in it.
If they would just make these (Super-P) designs a little more like a real predator, and put in that extra work in the story line, then i think a-lot of people would have more respect on whats going on in PREDATORS.

I prefer to call the third one Decepticon face

 

[Furious1]

It is possible that we will not see the other 2 unmasked...

Evil Ash is in this movie...

personally, i dont care if they want to deviate from the classic look and do a total redesign. you can label it subspecies/interspecies/mutants/whatever, i dont care. what i care about though, is for the design to look aesthetically cool. these new preds look like they came out from the sketchbook of a highschooler. just look at the forehead of pred pic above. did they even hire a professional designer for this movie or did rodriquez go the cheapest route again?

Evil Ash is in this movie...

exactly what i thought.
