Holy **** I didn't think it would be this bad. Wow.

It sounds like fan fiction aimed at selling kids toys.

What's funny is that this movie sounds crazier than my meme.

eh...the only real key part of the plot is does Olivia Munn show her ****s or not

If that is indeed the true plotline, it's a dvd or download for me, and Predator will just be a two movie franchise for me then....

You've got your work cut out for you.

 

[a-dev]

I'll echo what everyone else has said. This sounds like a great comedy, a must-see.

 

[greygoose]

There's a decent sci-fi movie in there somewhere. For Predator fans it comes down to how well the Predator is portrayed (does it still feel like a Predator movie?...) and how well Black executes it. At the moment it all sounds a mess.

Spoiler

- Steve McKenna and his US special forces squad are in Cuba with orders to eliminate some drug lord and free the hostages. Suddenly an escape pod falls from the skies. The squad finds and unconscious Predator there and McKenna quickly expropriates helmet and weapon as evidence of an alien contact. They see a CIA chopper headin' to their location, McKenna runs away. Predator's up and kills USSF men then gets cought by CIA. McKenna mails the items to his storage cell right before gettin' cought as well. Because McKenna didn't pay for the storage the items are sent to the adress... where we meet his ex-wife and autistic son Robie. Of course little fella is a linguistic genius and bein' bullied at school.

- Casey (Munn's scientist character) is sent to a secret CIA base where Predator's held captive. While studying Predator's biology she learns that he was easily caught and that the base stores a lot of alien weaponry (from previous movies). Too late tho.
- Meanwhile... McKenna is bein' transported to a madhouse with six other ex-soldiers via bus when guards are ordered to deliver him to the very same "secret" base for more questioning (what the hell?). They arrive just in time for the Predator's break out and McKenna uses the moment to escape. With the support of other prisoners he rescues Casey and they all make it to the chopper ("get to the chopper" line drop).
- Meanwhile... Robie examines the items, "hacks" them and learn alien language. This starts a chain of events which resulted in another Predator comin' to Earth (he's called "Upgrade" in the script). He's three meters tall and looks more like humna than classic Predators. He needs those items.
- McKenna & co make it to his son just in time to save him from both Predators.
- When Upgrade and runaway Predator first meet face to face the tall one kills the other with one blow.
- Upgrade is some kind of an intergalactic assassin. His task is to kill dissident Predators who are hiding on Earth in Area 52 and work for the organization which protects it from aliens (umm... seriously?).
- Closer to the end our heroes find Upgrade's "hidden" ship in Florida (it was stolen from him by dissident Predator). Soon the ship's owner arives, releases a bunch of hybrids (three-legged Predators, spider Predators, etc) and they go to attack Area 52 (on foot... go figure). McKenna & co fly ahead and after a brief exposition get explained that there's urgent need to bring the rest of dissident Predators to the very same ship. From there they use cars for transportation (movie logic).

. . .

What to expect:

- Robi puts on Predator's mask / shoulder canon and decides to walk the the streets in the midst of Halloween. He stumbles on school bullies, one of them throws an apple at him which Predator tech automatically perceive as an attack... with corresponding consequences.
- Yes, it's a Halloween movie instead of Black's usual Christmas Eve.

- More Predator dogs. One of them gets an "accidental lobotomy", becomes friendly, helps the heroes and overall very cute (because we gotta sell toys).

- Obligatory "Robie drivin' the alien ship" scenes.

- Predator-kidnapper

- Predator is forced to use a machine gun (unmade AvP movie reference).

- Lots of references, line drops and easter eggs.

- Predators actually take spinal cord to collect human DNA and inject it into themselves in order to become stronger (because hunting trophies is sooo last century, right?)

- There's a Dutch cameo but the scene can be easy cut from the story and the character can be easily replaced with Glover's or Baldwin's characters from P2.

There's a decent sci-fi movie in there somewhere.

I hope they show the predators' hide outs the same way hellboy had

 

[Wor-Gar]

This movie went full ******.

The only aspect that should have been in this is...

Spoiler

a cyborg albino Predator as the villain.... you can leave out the word 'super', we get it, show it



kids, high school, bullies, Preds driving tanks, area 52, secret alien tech, etc all sound like ideas that should have been left in the development room

 

[jye4ever]

I wonder if the kid will bond with the Predator and as the Predator dies he gives the crying kid a thumbs up.

 

[Bo Shrek]

The Predendables!!

Until I see a trailer I won't have a legitimate opinion on whether or not this looks good or bad.

Set pics never look good because context remains a mystery.

 

[Khev]

I haven't read the spoilers so I guess I'll get to experience the comedy totally cold.

I've seen lots of set pics that didn't make a serious film look like a Wayans Bros comedy.
