With that line of thinking, I'd guess this is the "true" Predator in the film.

Strange choice of image given that is simply the P1 copy from Predators. I suspect (hope) the teaser was made by the same guy who put the Wolf on the front cover of the P2 blu ray. I'm looking forward to seeing some new predators on screen, not that one...

Predators Classic is the worse Predator across the franchise.

Why not just put KPH's Predator on the teaser? It is Fox though...

We're lucky they didn't use the old Hot Toys figure.

It was nothing but a sacrifice to pump up this ridiculous abomination.

Yep it's an abomination but atleast it was unique, I actually like the design for what it was. It's RR taking the original design and making it look cheap and ******** all over it that pissed me off.

Re: Predator Reboot...

or a different origin for the Predator (a government manufactured bio-weapon, whatever.)

That......that.....
Omg that would be WORST THAN AVPR!!!!!!!!!!!


Omg that would seriously destroy this franchise.....
It would seriously ruin the first movie for me.
It would make me want to get rid of my toys and movies

I still say that with your TV's brightness level turned up, I actually found AVP:R enjoyable. Wolf was awesome.

Fox sabotaged that movie on purpose.

They made it dark on purpose in post production

Pretty much. I'm not defending the Strause Bros. but Fox should have never have hired them in the first place. They said that Fox cuts budgets on a number of things during production and as we all know they darkened the movie to hide the flaws.

I never knew that before. Wouldn't be the first time Fox has gone the cheap route.

Wolf ruled though.

Yeah, regardless Wolf rocked!

I'll try and find the thread out at some point. They were regular posters on avpgalaxy at the time. They took a beating in the thread but pretty much blamed Fox for everything. It's a great read but I think the last time I looked it had gone. Maybe it was deleted...

Same. It was much more interesting than anything from AVP films.

yeah, the movie was clear at first. the first trailers showed how it wasn't as dark. Fox panicked after the movie started having problems and made it dark on purpose....

I would have much rather take a bad effects looking movie with good lighthing, than a movie that is completely dark..... Like everyone said Wolf is great.


The same exact thing was done with DOOM by universal .... they freaked out about the costumes looking silly and they hid the monsters with shaky cam and dark sets.... why the F K do they do this.....
I would prefer a silly looking DOOM movie than a dark and shaky movie....

Re: Predator Reboot...

I don't remember Doom being dark? A bad movie yeah, but not nearly as tragic as AVP:R. Even well lit that movie would have been a s**t fest, but at least it gave us a cool character. The xenos were horrendous however, I guess 90% of the practical effects budget went on Wolf.

doom was dark when it came to the sewers and when it came to showing the monsters

Re: Predator Reboot...

It's been a long time since I've seen it to be honest. It has Karl Urban in it to make up for it at least

And those scenes are well done.
Even the greatest of directors knew that shootin' in the dark saves money.
