"We play these veterans from like Afghanistan, Iraq war or whatever."

He's very committed to the role

I hope Jane has a big role in it, he's a great actor.

He actually makes this steaming pile to be, sound a little interesting.

It's like a backstory he made up for his character or whatever.

We play these veterans from like Afghanistan, Iraq war or whatever. But we’re all ****ing crazy so we go to the VA hospital to get our meds. We’re all like shellshocked, PTSD… soldiers. We’re at the VA hospital and we’re in group therapy and of course, somebody flips out…this is backstory, I don’t think we really see this…somebody flips out and we all get arrested and get thrown onto the bus to go down to the hospital and they throw this other guy on the bus too.

And he’s a guy they’ve actually marked to kill him because he’s seen a UFO, he’s seen the Predator ships come down so they lock him up and throw him in with us lunatics. They’re going to take that bus, drive it down to a ditch and shoot us all just to get rid of this one guy. But, of course, we take the bus over and we’re all like “**** that man, let’s go kill these ****ing Predators ourselves” and we’re just crazy enough to believe that this guy really did see a UFO and there’s these aliens out there. So that’s kinda cool!

Plot sounds about on par with AVP.

My other favorite part is how he describes the predators "y'know they didn't **** those up"

 

[a-dev]

Sounds bizarre. I don't know what to make of it.

 

[RIDDICK]

Well, that sounds exactly like the leaked script. Oh, boy...

He's very committed to the role lol

Twas a phone interview and he sounded pretty stoned.

Sounds bizarre. I don't know what to make of it.

Predator writer ideas for Predator 2

We had an idea where at the end [of Predator], with the burned up clearing where the explosion happens… [Predator 2] opens there,” Thomas recalled. “Predator’s invisible feet come into view and a hand plunges down into the dust, into the ashes, and brings up the Predator’s arm and then activates the computer and get’s a readout to see everything that had happened up to that time, focusing on Arnold, and “this is my target.” We went from there and we had to think of how to bring Arnold back into it.”


We also had an idea about doing a World War 2 version in the Battle of the Bulge, in the middle of the winter,” Thomas noted. “A German foot platoon and an American platoon separated, and had a stalemate fighting each other off when the Predator shows up. They have to join together to defeat it. We thought the snow Predator effect would be quite different.”

....isn't the whole point of the Predator's self-destruct bomb to make his technology unrecoverable? That first idea would have meant it was not only recoverable but somehow still working, wtf

Yep...

I always thought the bomb was just a last resort attack to kill an opponent.

However, there should be nothing left after such a huge explosion.

Besides all that info would be stored in the helmet itself like a recording and not in the arm computer

World War II plot would've been amazing. I've long wanted a Predator film that doubled as a period piece.

As for Jane's synopsis, I'm intrigued. It sounds ridiculous, but in a way that doesn't put me off. Then again, Predator films are more about fun factor for me and Black usually delivers on that (Iron Man 3 notwithstanding).

Would the title be:

Predator v Muslims

or

Predator v American Sniper

 

[crows]
