Looks pretty cool, I love Shane's stuff (especially The Nice Guys) so it may not be so bad.
Boyd Holbrook? Nice, I really liked him in Logan.
I don't have high hopes for this.
I was thinking for a second they were going to do a film with old Schwarzenegger, with his grankid or something finding some relics he'd managed to recover from his encounter. But nope, it looks super generic with a completely unoriginal plot.
It looks more like a Shane Black movie than anything, which isn't surprising.
looks awful. is this shane black's way of vengeance for being killed off in the original?
Something about it just doesn't seem interesting to me. I hope most of the movie isn't just protecting the kid because he has a thing the Predator wants (I'll even give the movie bonus points if the Predator kills the kid).
Lose me with the family shit and the metrosexual somewhat-bodybuilder-looking actors, Predator is about spec ops hunks of meat trading one liners while getting brutally slaughtered by ugly motherfuckers.
Oh boy... I have bad feeling about this one.
Is Shane Blacks secret that he can't adapt for shit but all of his original work is great?
I expect therell be great humor and he gets great performance out of the actors but everything related to the actual predators will be meh
Almost closed the video when the kid showed up. I REALLY hope the plot has nothing to do with protecting him, I hate this kind of plot.

realtalk this may very well be the least cool "squad" of all time. what the fuck is shane even doing.
that would be so great if the predator just cut all the honorable prey shit towards the end and threw the kid out a window or something
The whole point of Predator was hunters being hunted in their own territory. Slowly whittling down the team until its just 1v1. Not be a kid and his dads quirky friends fighting a super alien in a city in Oregon. This is why all predator sequels are hot garbage and poorly received.
Having the movie focus around some dumb kid and having it take place anywhere near a city completely misses what made the first movie good. Having the predator constantly appear on screen and wipe out dozens of barnies is just dumb. The predator is supposed to be a methodical perfect hunter, slowly but surely killing his marks, not a alien Rambo.
God damn movies suck now-a-days.
Predators is a sequel to Predator.
This looks like a sequel to Predator 2. It's got baby Busey, the urban setting and a bunch of normal lookin guys as opposed to beef cake.
The kid is the part I'm worried least about tbh. Kids in Blacks films are usually great and aren't too annoying (The Goose''s daughter in Nice Guys, the IM3 kid and the opening with the kids from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang)
These plot leaks sure are something...
Basically, Jacob Tremblay plays an autistic child genius who gets mailed
Predator tech from his estranged solider father who finds it in a
shipwreck. The Predator wants his tech back (oh yeah, he’s ten feet
tall, genetically enhanced and is called the “Predator 2.0”) so he hunts
down the soldier and his son in the suburbs to reclaim it. Also, there
are lunatic soldiers and loads of hybrid creatures, namely, fucking
Predator dogs. Oh and it’s set 30 years after the second film and
Predators is basically ignored.
It's kinda spelt out in the trailer, but a government has a captured
predator or remains of one and are experimenting on it to create
human/predator hybrids, a Predator shows up to wreck some shit cause of
what is being done. The kid in the trailer seems to be triggering the
predator gear by accident which draws it to the planet, assuming a
distress beacon or something.
Tremblays character is able to decipher the Predator hieroglyphic
language and Predators apparently steal spines not because of a tribal
tradition but because they use them to merge their DNA with them for
strength so all Predators contain human DNA and are human/alien hybrids.
if this is actually true i'm going to throw up. this might be the worst plot for a fucking Predator movie i have ever heard. shit like this makes Samurai Cop look like a work of genius.
That sounds dumber than what we have here.
People really need to let Arnie's career peter out gracefully. 80s action star doesn't work when you're positively geriatric looking. Try to imagine chris hemsworth playing thor but weighing 140lbs.
Didn't they just wrap up a long-ass reshoot session that basically rewrote the entire third act? That sure as shit isn't a good sign.

geriatric? Arnie might not have roid abs anymore but he's still in good shape considering he's 70.
His recent stuff hasn't been all that bad. I thought Maggie was a pretty solid movie.
Christ, this is gonna make Predators look good. I've never seen such a wimpy fuckin' "squad" in an action movie.
I'd rather see another Arnold film akin to "Maggie" than Predator (2018). Speaking of which, are they going to have Peter Cullen do vocals again or just recycle the same clicking sounds he did for the last three films?
The thing is that i can actually say i like Predator 2 and Predators even if they aren't the classic that the first movie was.
This one just looks..... not good.
Why do people feel the need to change major franchises?
Alien went from great monster movies to with a lot of symbolism and mystery.
Terminator went from cool time travel movie about preventing the apocalypse to an AI playing 4-dimensional chess with time.
And now Predator is going from an alien species who likes to hunt with honor to monsters trying to kill each other.
Why can't it just be an alien looking for good game
Why's there gotta be these dramatic reasons for him coming or whatever?
Someone pointed out before the same thing happened with the original film, so I mean, I'm all for fixing shit, but still, the signs are less than promising.

Ugh, the beginning of the trailer was giving me some nasty AVP:R vibes. I fuckin' hated that movie cuz of all the dumb teen drama bullshit they had to shit it up with.
Looks like instead of having teen drama they'll have some kid for this one, which probably won't be any better.
I wish they would just make an AvP movie (I know this is just predator only, just thinking aloud p much) like the PC games, set it in the future with Colonial marines caught between xenomorphs and predators.
Holy fucking shit. I read the leaked script and it does add up with the scenes from the trailer. But even just from the trailer alone this looks like shit to me. Comedy and Predator? Nope. Also why the fuck does everyone need to make scarier/bigger Predator? If you want to show Predators killing each other use that opportunity to show us more of their culture. I don't know if it's canon but I like how books and comics (which I haven't read but wikipedia is full of lore stuff on Predators) showed they aren't just aliens who came to Earth to hunt. Granted, they probably aren't that deep either but I think that's a better plot idea than "Uh Oh a super predator entered a rural town..."
i thought the age of running franchises into the ground with b-movies was over
i guess i was wrong
he looks geriatric for fucks sake, come on. Receding hairline, saggy skin and potato sack for a torso.
his recent stuff has been terrible because these projects are resting on who he was 30 years ago. Its the same reason Bruce Willis's career took a nosedive, they're still trying to pretend its 1988 or even 1995, but it's not, no one buys it. Maggie might be decent, I never saw it, but if it is its probably because hes not an leading action man in it. The rest of it; Genisys, Last Stand, Escape Plan, Sabotage, these all stunk, their modest sales based on people charitably going to Arnie out of fan loyalty.
Point being, arnold can still have a career, but he needs to reinvent himself as something different, like every other actor/actress goes through. A Predator sequel with 70 year old arnold as the star isn't it.
