Why is literally every Predator sequel only one to the first film? Just stop already.

It'll go the same way as "Alien 5". At best, they'll make great trailers - but the result will leave you wanting, and more depressed than when you entered the cinema.

The best of western cinema is behind us. There is nothing left to look forward to. Other cultures will take the technology and enjoy their own golden ages, but you will never live to see it. You can only make do with whatever shadow you are given on the wall.

I was hoping that it would be a buddy movie with Arnie and Danny Glover being hunted by the Predator.

>Shane Black

I ain't biting. That hack is terrible.

Reddit memesters like Black could never get the sincere masculinity of something like Predator right. It would either be a "le epin manly mustache and bacon" meme fest or full on cuck shit where the meatheaded macho men fuck everything up and it's left up to a female to save the day,.

Arnold is allegedly making a cameo.

>Shane Black
>terrible.
u wot m8

>Predator has a wise cracking kid sidekick

They said that for the last one too.

He is genre shit. A hack recycling tropes.

His films are all reddit shit m8.

Its going to be garbage.

>the meatheaded macho men fuck everything up
Like the first one? Its essentially a deconstruction of the typical 1980s action flick. All the big tough superheroes are reduced to the kind of fodder they usually spend their movies plowing through. Even Arnold only wins due to a bit of luck and guile.

Nigga he started tropes.

This is an 18+ site.

>Directed by Shane Black.
>Written by Shane Black and Fred Dekker.
fine you win

He was supposed to. It's in the original script.

>Black and Dekker

Bravo

he'll probably ask for a lot of money

...

Good thing movies like this never go through changes, especially at the production house level.

I read that as if Shane blacked a Predator

>Even Arnold only wins due to a bit of luck and guile.
He wins because of his masculine ingenuity.

>>Set in the suburbs.
aaaaaaaaaaaand droppped

>Predator: Hunting for Marble Countertops

Eh, I'll just watch Predator again. Whatever this is can fuck off, it's not needed

By the names and plot am I wrong to think they got a bunch of niggers and Olivia Munn playing a scientist fightning Predator on the ghettos?

Man, that's gonna suck hard.

He was cast in the first movie because the director wanted him to work on the script

No he absorbed them. They already existed. He just made them his shtick.

>Directed by Shane Black.

Let me guess, it's going to be a buddy movie whose third act transitions completely to full blown action sequence

Good fucking lord.

Arnold was actually spotted on set this time, though.

>>Jacob Tremblay as Holbrook's character's son, who is autistic and often bullied at school, but becomes instrumental to fighting the alien due to his savant linguistic abilities.

That sounds stupid.

t. autist who has watched predator over 9000 times

>Olivia Munn as a government scientist

>You will never watch prime Munn get her head and spine torn out of her shoulders by Predator
Why, lads?

>reddit appeal source material
>reddit flavor of the month actors
>reddit director

Of course it will be fucking stupid but that's not going to stop it from getting 85% on rotten tomatoes and it's not going to stop the shill led drones from calling you a contrarian for shitting on it.

This.
Everything in this sounds so wrong. Child and female hunting Predator... lot's of drama and fake emotions... love interest and family values. Complete vomit inducing star shit.

>Olivia Munn

dropped so fucking hard. she ruins everything she is in. office christmas party,xmen,attack of the show(was shit by the time she joined but she made it even worse)

i hope she gets aids.

Good old summertime edgerlords.

>"dude what sequels lol this movie never had any sequels" meme
>ex-muhreen main character
>Olivia Munn

It's already telegraphing itself as irredeemable garbage. If you end up going to see this then you're the exact paunchy, balding, mid-30s manchild they're trying to bait into paying for this.

t. viral shill.

>>"dude what sequels lol this movie never had any sequels" meme
This is the worst meme. Especially when almost every single time the actual existing sequel is a better movie than the fanwank "real" continuation they come up with. I'm so grateful that Blomkamp's REAL Aliens follow up didn't happen.

It's more like, while he was working on re-writes for Lethal Weapon, he asked Joel Silver (who produced both movies) if he could be in the movie. Silver said yes so Shane Black could keep an eye on John McTiernan because Joel Silver was afraid he was too inexperienced to handle the movie.

I don't think he actually did that much work on the script other than some of the banter at the beginning and the jokes he tells.

It'll probably be fine. The only thing I'm annoyed by is the wise cracking kid, this is the third time in a row Shane Black is doing this trope.

This franchise is dead. Bury it.

I read the script. It's actually pretty good.

But the kid character is going to trigger Sup Forums for sure. His running gag is amusing, though.

>Reddit memesters like Black could never get the sincere masculinity of something like Predator right.

You realize Black wrote Last Boy Scout. One of the manliest movies of all time.

Not to mention Lethal Weapon, which is objectively testosterokino.

Im so hype for the return of Fred motherfuking Dekker. Night of the Creeps and Monster Squad are kino.

AYYYYYY LMAO

You couldn't fucking pay me to watch this

>Predator
>Set in the suburbs

>Too old for this shit: The Movie

I always thought a cool Predator movie would be from the perspective of some villagers who use fighting a Predator as a rite of passage. At the point the viewer comes in the practice is a generations old tradition and they have this as an understanding with the Predator to leave them alone otherwise. It would always be hand to hand, with a group of the best warriors against one Predator. They also have an old Predator helmet from a dead one, so they can use the thermal vision too.

Also, the village warriors are SAMURAI

>Be 1987 Predator
>Go hunting in dense jungles

>Be 1990 Predator

>Be 201x Predator
>Go hunting in the suburbs???
>hunt and kill Amerifats as they sit in the backyards.

Amazing, thanks Shane.

>Predator
>attracted to/by violence
>hunts for sport, with a sense of honor

>set in the suburbs

And of course the single father is an ex-Marine. You can already imagine his backstory. I bet he doesn't want to be a single father, and we'll have relationship drama in a fucking Predator movie.

> want some candy?

There's actually very little family drama in this. There's even a scene poking fun at it.

We can only hope.

Fuckin rad

Can't wait for the inevitable

>movie has to come up with a convoluted / tedious reason for the Predator not to instantly vaporise the main character with his shoulder mounted Plasmacaster

Scene

All the dialogue feels very Shane so I'd be surprised if he did that little but who knows.

Should have honestly been done in an African war torned country. Would have been way more interesting in a desert like environment.

>got a bunch of niggers
like every predator movie since the original? fuck off

4th time isn't it? He did it in Last Boyscout, Ironman 3, and The Nice Guys. I actually liked it each time but he's about to slip into self parody if he does it again. He should do something completel different with this.

how does a period piece with the predator sound?
set it during a war (ww1, ww2, whathaveyou), and follow a company or squad that comes across the remains of an unknown attack, and try to track down the predator?
as I write this out, I realize it sounds a lot like the original, but surely that would be better than this shit

Is there a good reason for the predator to be in the suburbs? How funny is it?

I thought it was just being unarmed? Oh and asthma apparently.

And all of his super tough masculine friends were slaughtered like dogs.

It's pretty funny. The dialogue is textbook Shane Black, and it has two or three comic-oriented character.

And yes, there's a good reason: The small town where the story is set is a secret cover for a massive underground facility where the government conducts their research on alien activity, particularly the Predators which they've been studying since the 90's. The townspeople themselves don't know that.

The Predator in the movie isn't actually on a hunting trip, it's on a wipeout mission to destroy all the data the government has on their race, including a dead Predator they manage to kill and capture to study both the biology and technology.

this, oh noes pred gonna fuk up your minivan

Did anyone else like Predator 2? I fucking love that shit

I don't know how I feel about this. I would've preferred something in the Middle East or some war-torn desert country, kinda like the Marine stuff from the first transformers

but this is a lot like avp requiem
- suburbs
- pred is doing a cleanup mission
- gov trying to get pred tech
- military lead character'
- muh senpai
- solo pred

>hunt and kill Amerifats as they sit in the backyards.

That's how dangerous the Amerifats have become.

shits fucking dope. Predator is a better action flick but 2 still has a lot of great stuff.

This is actually good (on paper), though.

Predators and the Alien v Predator movies are spin offs though, cunt.

my man

Got a link to the script?

This

This. What a crap setting.

>Set in the suburbs.
sounds dumb

>savant linguistic abilities.
Autism Speaks Predator, apparently.

>Set in the suburbs.
I'm out.

Predators was the only decent sequel. Mainly because it was still set in a jungle

Predator: Battle for Anytown USA

What possibly a predator could be doing in the fucking suburbs?

Ya a planet for the predators to use as a hunting ground and kidnapping the most dangerous people were cool. That movie was underrated imo. Shane has been hyping this thing up as "PREDATOR AS YOU'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE" and it's just in the fucking suburbs and will probably get rekt by a snarky autistic kid.

was walton goggins in this? walton goggins should be in this

that's the only 5ft tall predator i've ever seen

SHANE BLACK?
More like SHANE HACK!

Will we finally see their females?

He was in predators. I feel like the only person who saw that movie

I would have assumed that the female predators are even uglier than the males. Are sexy grill predators canon?

Looking at the cover it looks like a cheap indie porno parody.

Muh dick

>not liking amazonian jungle musclefus with helmets
>helmets that stay permanently on
Pleb.

>Are sexy grill predators canon?
No, the only mentions of their females is in comics and they're these huge disgusting fat fucking monsters that can barely even move and the males have to prove themselves by going out into the uncharted planets and hunting for shit before they have the right to breed with them and pass their genes.

>Set in the suburbs.
>Olivia Munn
>who is autistic and often bullied at school, but becomes instrumental to fighting the alien due to his savant linguistic abilities.

Sounds like shit

Too risky.

Who cares, just fucking post it

the avp movies completely destroyed the franchise.

this sequel has to get a lot of things right. now, the money is there, with shane black and fred decker its in very good hands. i mean, nobody could've asked for a better team to do a new predator movie justice.

so, there's only one thing left to wish for: PLZ BE GOOD!

is there anything that says of the design of the predator?
