"The Predator" by Shane Black (2018)

[GasparZizou]

Just an idea.

It'd be less than 2 hours, with a simple plot involving what could be, but not necessarily the first time a Predator alien landed on earth. The main character wouldn't be a human, more like a strong looking caveman dude and his mate. That could be a problem because the film would need subtitles. That's all I'll post for now.

That sounds neato, woah Id watch that, I thought you would go for Tarzan vs Predator but this is different.

crows, I do have some ideas; one of them is a bad blood Predator vs Predator type movie, good pred and bad pred, bad pred has visual cues to imply hes bad, hes on the run, good pred still kills humans who are on his way, extreme conflict location, could end in sequel which would be another idea, war movie. They like hunting maybe they enjoy war too. Could also be standalone movie.

Rescue movie, kinda like leaked plot but no autistic kid, coma nor super pred, black ops have to defend base at the end.

Another one is a pred recon mission gone wrong, and so on... you can come up with **** just by brain storming and most of it is better than leaked plot and pyramids.

Ahem, uh... carry on. I just really wanted to post that gif and... well, I saw my opening and... yeah...

I... I shared my Supes take with you... And thats how you repay me?

very good actually, I liked it a lot

 

[Victοr]

Yeah, well, and hwat I'll say to that is

Thanks, I appreciate it!

I'm not the biggest Predator fan around, but if you put me in a corner and told me to come up with a pitch in 5 minutes, it'd go something like this:

During an unspecified point in time, a Predator crashlands on Earth. His ship is damaged, and he has no way of getting back home. He looks around for a bit, sees how mundane this world is, and decides to initiate the life-support program and go into "hybernation" until this planet's tech catches up, so that he'll be able to escape by repairing his ship (a bigger challenge wouldn't hurt). Fast forward to the golden age of piracy, a group of cultists finds the ship, and due to the markings, alien tech and whatnot start worshipping it.

Rumors spread and, years later, this mythical Beast-God and his Cosmic Treasure have become the stuff of legends. A small-time crew of pirates are caught into a maelstorm, and somehow crash into the same island that the cultists are keeping the Pred. Around that point (45 minute mark or so), the remaining pirates are going against the Cultists dressed up as makeshift Predators. After the usual pirates vs cannibals/islanders stuff, the captain sneaks into the ship and releases the Pred. Naturally, he runs like hell, as the Predator, dissoriented, slowly walks out and sees the fight. He joins and starts slaughtering everyone.

About the 1:30 mark, we get into familiar territory, with the remaining pirates trying to survive in the island while the Predator is stalking them. Close to the end, everybody dies horrific deaths, except the captain, who hides into the broken and sinked hull of his ship. The Predator, considering himself a failure, commits harakiri. The Captain survives a bit longer by eating the fallen Predator, until he dies as well.

After a long time, another group of pirates are shipwrecked there and they find the Captain's corpse inside the ship, dressed up in the Predators equipment. And so, the legend of this mysterious god begins anew.

So, uh, yeah. I literally came up with it while I was searching for pirate gifs. It's darn stupid, but I had to get it out.

Well pred vs pred was touched upon in predators.

Mission gone wrong was kinda done in requiem.

What else could they do?

Its not bad at all actually, I liked it, Ive toyed with a predator being worshipped and pirates myself in 2 different stories.

First is pred being worshipped by african tribe believing hes a chitahuri, second is pirates stepping into cave that turns out to be a pred hideout, didnt make anything of them though, you landed both aspects nicely.

Thanks! It was a literal "make it up as I go along" case. I also thought of a Predator-as-Jack-the-Ripper one waaaaay back, but I never did anything with it. It's a bit too stupid, but it's got that kewlnezz factor.

How long does the predator sleep?

Well pred vs pred was touched upon in predators.

Nope and without superpreds, not bad blood, not cop pred, and most importantly humans arent protsgonists so no.

Mission gone wrong was kinsa done in requiem.

That was a clean up, pred came prepared to do clean up, recon aint a clean up, completely different scenarios, also, no aliens and no teenage slasher.

What else could they do?

I tried, I was gonna share more wih darth but im done, but you make zero effort to create feedback, youre an input black hole.

I expected the reductionst false analogies though, but you want gotg as predators, so they didnt surprise me.

But at least I didnt need to prove my point when Prince and darth did it for me, my efforts were wasted, you proved well and good that your left hemisphere is calcified, stick to avp.

 

[Victοr]

How long does the predator sleep?

I figure he'd crashland during the prehistoric era, but if that's too ancient, you can have him arrive during the time of the Roman Empire or so. Thus, you get a cool little action scene of the Pred wrecking the Legionares.

I wanted to read more creative ideas and all 3 of you shared. So thats fun.

Thats all i wanted since 2 weeks ago. Both your ideas could work, they just sounded a little similar to the movies. But as full movies they would be interesting to see.i wasnt attacking your ideas but just that they reminded me of the other ones

I wanted to read difderent takes and clown and darth didnt argue with me from 2 weeks ago so they were better sports lol. Specially clown, clown was nice by sharing.
I like clown. Thanks buds

I liked the short story idea that featured in the AVP annuals about the 250yr old man who was hunting predators every time they came to earth to hunt. He would eat there hearts to prolong his life, and had a full set of mercenarys at hand to take down the Pred.

PS matey's pirate story a few posts back was really interesting, i liked all of your ideas! BIG UP

*burp*

Any news?

 

[greygoose]

Predator had one great movie and a worthy sequel. After that too many years have past to the point where the movie industry and fans have no idea how to make a good Predator movie again. Everyone has their own idea of how a Predator movie should be now to the point where some love the idea and most hate it.

 

[crows]

Theres nothing original or groundbreaking about this fan film but it is one of my favorite fan films. I wish this was a real avp instead of the ones we got
Might be a genetic story but this little fan film is more entertaining than avp

I've been reading the exchange between Crows and GasparZizou that got me thinking about my own take on a Predator movie, the funny thing is, it's very much like that one you posted that I've never heard of before.
What I've come up with:
A human hunter, a seriously dangerous man with years of experience who specializes in hunting the most dangerous game- man, has heard about the mythic Predator hunters and has become obsessed with killing something far more challenging. He sets out to find one going from clue to clue all across the globe as he closes on his prey. He eventually finds what he's obsessed with over so many years, but he'll soon regret going after the ultimate hunter.

I like the idea of a guy who eats these damn things to stay immortal so the guy could survive in the end so that's what the sequels could be about.

So a guy that matches the predator?
It would be cool to see two equals hunt each other where both are equally dangerous and equally skilled. Could be like that movie killing season or the hunted.

Arnold tried to go after the pred but he wasnt goid enough and won by accident. I would like to see a movie where both characters are truly dangerous to each other. Thats cool

Well a win is something that happens in a sports game.

What Dutch did was survive an aggressive alien attack and the alien did not survive so regardless how it happened the human still outlived the big alien monster.
