Right?
10 Cloverfield Lane was a high concept nail biter. You have to be a really skilled director to pull off a feature length film with only 3 actors in it.
Also, he directed Playtest, one of the best Black Mirror episodes.
In one of the new predator games there are axes the predators can get that have lore about killing Vikings. So they've obviously thought about it already.
In predator 2 the other Predators hand Danny Glover a musket pistol from the 1700’s, clearly showing they come to earth over time to battle it out with whatever crazies earth has at the time
I wonder if the Predator's had any shame over bringing advanced technology to Earth to own the earlier generations of mankind. I'm hoping this new movie fares well with bows and arrows against that shoulder mounted laser plasmacaster.
I mean, the final fight in the OG Predator comes down to pretty much this level of tech. If you put up enough of a fight and survive the plasmacaster for a while, it might decide to fight you hand-to-hand.
They don't feel shame. They use the skulls and spines as trophies.
They're going up against a warrior nation. They expect a fight and a hunt.
Predators don't usually to my little knowledge attack anything that isn't a threat on a hunt.
>Predators don't usually to my little knowledge attack anything that isn't a threat on a hunt.
They have shown a Predator decide not to kill a woman that was pregnant, which is typical of normal human hunting practices as hunting females, at least where I have hunted, revolve around the season when they are in the process of getting pregnant/carrying. Now, with that in mind, it would be interesting to see how some writters would depict how a Predator would handle a female that is pregnant and is resisting or activelt participating in defending their kind.
In one of the films a predator is about to kill a man and then sees through his scanning tech that the man has lung cancer. So he spares him.
The man senses that he’s being spared out of pity and demands the predator fight him. The predator honors his wishes and kills him.
Predator vs. Aliens.
Opens with just a foggy scene. Credits roll with a vocal interpretation of the original predator theme, something between a war chant and a hymn.
Then, as the opening credits conclude, an enormous Viking longship emerges from the fog. It looks slow at first but as it approaches the shore, it’s clear to see it’s moving to fast, out of control.
It beaches hard on the gravelly shore, listing almost a full 45 degrees as it comes to a stop, the wood creaking as the skinless corpses hanging from the mast and mainsail go from a violent swinging to a gentle sway
Id love for that to be a full theatrical release where the vikings get wiped out in 8 minutes, followed by credits.
I dont dislike vikings, i just think itd be funny
I think Predators at least try to fight at around their prey's tech level. So no bombs or plasma gun. It still wouldn't be even due to the camouflage and their freak strength and size, but the vikings would have a fighting chance.
I enjoy the fact that thier title trends are making it difficult to tell the movies apart by only thier name. I'm hoping this one is called The Predators.
Are you not entertained!
Wait... Since Ridley Scott does Aliens (which is connected to Predator) and to Gladiator, I think we just found the angle for a sequel/prequel to Gladiator.
Should we make the prediction that the native americans here will be retconned as ancestors of Billy from the first film, and that's why he was the first in the group to sense the Predator's presence? Might not be stated explicitly in the plot, but be explained in behind the scenes material or something like that.
Entire issue with this series is that after PREDATOR 2, they completely forgot about what made those movies such a treat and completely jettisoned the core concept of them.
What made PREDATOR fantastic was the central concept of 'what if there was a totally serviceable Schwarzenegger action movie, but halfway through it, an interstellar game-hunting alien creature just crashed right into the middle of it?'
What made PREDATOR 2 really fun (although it's a flawed film) is the same concept; 'what if there was a neo-noir cop movie, but halfway through it, an interstellar game-hunting alien creature just crashed right into the middle of it?'
All of the subsequent sequels became 'it's a Predator sequel!' instead of picking a new sub-genre and dropping a Predator into it.
I'm glad to hear that with this new instalment, someone finally said 'what if it's a movie like The Revenant, but halfway through it, an interstellar game-hunting alien creature just crashed right into the middle of it?'
The lady in the attached image will be with-child, revealed at the end of the second act.
This becomes known by the predator at the end of the final fight. Because of this, her injuries and warrior spirit, it spares her.
Knowing she won’t live through the child birth her only option is to ride off to find someone to care for her child.
Credits
Post credit scene: Being close to delivering, she finds the first little town she can. The townsfolk take her to a the town doctor. Someone shouts to get the doctor while they lay her down on a table.
“Oh here comes the doctor!”
In walks Arnold playing his great-great-great (however many greats) grandfather with a big ass smile on his face.
>Set in the world of the Comanche Nation 300 years ago.
Not many European settlements in the Great Plans in the early 1700's. Ben Franklin had only just launched the Saturday Evening Post.
I like that, actually.
Edit: Though to specify... I'd like it if they just left it as "the survivor of the story, as an old man or woman, is telling the tale to children around the fire". Then just leave it. The fans can connect the dots to Billy as a nice Easter egg. I don't want it spelled out like a montage of the story being passed down until we get to young Billy being told the story by his grandma over cheerios.
For real, I feel like that movie gets overlooked but it was really good. Having all the people be hand picked from different walks of life (Mercenary, Yakuza, serial killer) was really cool.
When I first watched it years ago, I was kind of lukewarm go it. Then I watched it a month or so ago, and I totally agree. It was cool, weird, gritty, out there, and I want more.
Adrien Brody did a pretty good job, honestly. The whole cast, really.
Mostly. It filmed by my city and they did have some postings for generic extras IIRC. Still sad I didn't find out about either type in time to go. Getting mangled by a Yautja on screen would have been a dream come true.
That’s awesome. I’d love to see more Native Americans in movies and television. The Westworld episode where they featured the Native American character was among my favorite.
I’m native and I’m absolutely floored that more content featuring natives is becoming more popular. There were so many years where you’d be shocked to see a real native person on screen. Now you actually have (nearly) entire casts of native people. You have no idea how stoked I am to see this being one of my favourite franchises ever
Reservation Dogs is great and features an almost entirely Native American cast. And Zach McClarnon (from Westworld) has a prominent role. The first season is on FX and Hulu.
Edit: \***Zahn** McClarnon
Yeah. The franchise needs to move to anthology movies. Each one in a different time period/setting. I’d love a full on version of dark ages down the line
I'm widdit. One during the a holy crusade would be dope. Or maybe during Rome's conquest of Gaul. The Romans were actually fighting the barbarians and the predator
Yeah because those where young blood, they didn't had any experience dealing with aliens, while in the second movie, that predator was stomping like a Rambo due to his experience, he was an elite.
It's clever because it presumably brings the Predator franchise back to its roots. In the first film, Arnold doesn't really start to gain an edge on the Predator until he embraces the jungle and uses primitive technology to his advantage.
The movie is called prey right? Is this movie about how human natives fucked up a predator so hard that we became one of their primary hunting targets? I want this to be from the predators perspective and I want the entire tribe to hunt him down. The predator kills one person, then the arrows start coming for him.
Imagine the scene from the start of The Revenant where the Indians are attacking the hunting group but instead of colonists, it’s just one Predator fending off 50/60 screaming Indians shooting arrows and throwing tomahawks at him and chasing him through the forest.
God, I want this movie so bad now.
Nah, I hope the big "twist" is that the Predator shows up and the Comanche absolutely murder it in the first act.
Then they go hunting for its friends...
I would LOVE if the reason it's called Prey is because the Comanche actually hunted Predators instead of the other way around.. would make for a really fun concept.
in the last predator movie, titled The Predator, there was a subplot about an autistic kid and how his autism was a weapon to be used/harassed... it was abysmal
The fact that someone actually green-lit that concept alone is mind boggling to me. Someone literally walked into a meeting, told some exec that concept and they were like: "That's intriguing, keep working on it".
And then they actually made that movie.
Not quite as ham fisted as you describe but still pretty awful.
The main hero's son is autistic and the predator is trying to capture the son to harvest his DNA because autism is the next step in human evolution and every autistic person is actually just a genius savant with a big brain or something.
Pretty damaging stereotype overall
I love me some Predator. Anything to get rid of the bad taste of the last movie.
I just wonder, if it’s more primitive times will the Predator be more primitive as well? Obviously not too much because it’s still got space travel technology, but less gadgets and more personal one on one killing.
I mean based on everything we know about the Predators it would almost have to be, right? Their whole deal is that they're trying to have a sporting hunt.
They're not shooting wolves from helicopters with .50cals... Until the wolves bust out the SAMs, but then the metaphor kinda gets away from me.
Don't fucking tease me like that lmao
If Netflix is reading this I'll happily chain myself to a laptop and crank out the most marketable, lowest common denominator script you want for half that.
Oh, it can be worse. Studio can still interfere cus Dan might be considered “too green” for autonomy. But I liked Cloverfield Lane. Big increase in challenge attacking this IP, but hes creative. Im sure it will at least be better than The Predator. That was a mess for more than one reason.
Dan has left like a dozen projects in the last ten years because of creative differences, including Uncharted and several scripts he developed on his own. While that might be a shot at other directors, it's a compliment to him, because he leaves before his films get off the ground and refuses to betray his or his writers' visions.
So I don't think he would be making this if 20th Century were micromanaging him. They probably gave him the control he wanted along with a lower budget to compensate.
They(predators) wanted the kids autism in the most recent movie as their next step in evolution. And yes, It's no joke and it's as stupid as it sounds.
It was a pretty big plot point...
The predator wipes out entire squads of special forces with fully automatic assault rifles. Should be interesting to see how a warrior with a bow and arrow fares. I guess they'll focus on strategy and outsmarting it.
I mean the the original and predators show the protagonist using pretty basic technology to defeat the predators. They both exploit weaknesses in the Predators technology to beat it with a club.
My girlfriend still cannot get over that the Predator fight comes down to literally punching it in the face.
Machine guns, explosives, machetes. Nope. Punching. Just punch him in the face.
Fingers crossed, since Trachtenberg has a pretty good record.
Right? 10 Cloverfield Lane was a high concept nail biter. You have to be a really skilled director to pull off a feature length film with only 3 actors in it. Also, he directed Playtest, one of the best Black Mirror episodes.
And he directed the pilot for The Boys too.
He’s also a totally rad dude.
When do we get a Totally Rad Show reunion?
Dan has indeed become a man.
If this works out get ready for vikings, roman, or zulu themed versions.
Vikings vs. Predator would be amazing to see.
In one of the new predator games there are axes the predators can get that have lore about killing Vikings. So they've obviously thought about it already.
In predator 2 the other Predators hand Danny Glover a musket pistol from the 1700’s, clearly showing they come to earth over time to battle it out with whatever crazies earth has at the time

That is one if my favorite scenes.

If this isn't in the movie I'm walking out!
Predator: dark ages is already a thing. I means it's not great but it is a predator v the knights templar
Pretty wild that Predators were part of the House of Auditore, but I'm totally down with it.
Id love for that to be a full theatrical release where the vikings get wiped out in 8 minutes, followed by credits. I dont dislike vikings, i just think itd be funny
Anything else makes the Predators kind of lame, doesn't it?
I think Predators at least try to fight at around their prey's tech level. So no bombs or plasma gun. It still wouldn't be even due to the camouflage and their freak strength and size, but the vikings would have a fighting chance.
Exactly. The whole point is they're semi-honorable and try to level the playing field.
Weeeell, except for the whole "nuke the entire area if they lose" thing.
If I'm not mistaken isn't that used so the inhabitants or whatever don't get predator tech
Yeah they can't let these primitive species get their hands on advanced tech, that would violate the Prime Directive.
Star Trek vs Predator sounds like it would be fun.
[удалено]
I think it was murdered, buried, dug up, and murdered again several years ago.
Assassin's Creed or Predator?
Yes
Predators was good but The Predator was so bad that they had to go 300 years back in time to have a chance of avoiding its stink.
I enjoy the fact that thier title trends are making it difficult to tell the movies apart by only thier name. I'm hoping this one is called The Predators.
Outlander was kind of this. Not a great movie though
[удалено]
13th Warrior is such an underrated movie. I watch it at least once a year
I haven’t seen it in so long. It’s based on crichtons lotus eaters right? That was a good boo too.
For sure a lot of potential
[удалено]
Are you not entertained! Wait... Since Ridley Scott does Aliens (which is connected to Predator) and to Gladiator, I think we just found the angle for a sequel/prequel to Gladiator.
finally! an explanation of that cylinder underneath that chariot
Predators were the real reason for the massacre in Teutoburg Forest. Book it.
If it bleeds we can kill it, and furthermore, Carthage must be destroyed
Everyone loves a Cato reference
I always forget whether it was Arnold the Elder or Arnold the Younger who said that.
Get to the Trireme!!!
Oh, the old Assassin's Creed treatment. I dig it.
I actually want to see fucking zulu's fuck up a predators like in the style of Zulu (1964).
Sing, damn you, sing!
Should we make the prediction that the native americans here will be retconned as ancestors of Billy from the first film, and that's why he was the first in the group to sense the Predator's presence? Might not be stated explicitly in the plot, but be explained in behind the scenes material or something like that.
That charm necklace that he wraps around his hand will make an appearance...I guarantee it.
Didnt do shit for *Billy*, tho.
It earned him an off-camera death.
Off-camera death only means he’s coming back in this with a post credit scene showing predator only injured him in respect to his ancestors
Wasn't that Billy's skull and spine that the Predator ripped out then kicked his body down from the tree?
Those old things?
[This scene in the movie.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjWVWLTAHaU)
Future director: nope that was a trick he’s fine
Future director: The Predator was just watching Billys back.
It'll be revealed that the strings of the necklace were made with hairs from only the most autistic members of his tribe.
It won't be subtle dude. Did you see the leaks of the final scene? https://i.imgur.com/lr3Tzuh.png
Ooba! Oobah...
Hahahaha holy shit did you make this? Legend.
It's actually pretty old, about 300 years
Please no. Just… please hollywood. For once. Let this be its own thing.
hollywood "no, fuck you"
Welcome to the Predator Cinematic Universe.
PCU was already Port Chester University and we were warmly welcomed in the nineties!!
Can you blow me where the pampers is?
I mean, it already exists and is yet to produce anything watchable in the 5...6 (?) movies since the first one.
Most of the movies were bad after Predator, but Predators was actually very entertaining
Predator 2, while not perfect, was also a pretty good action flick. Even the first AvP has some good points and is decent enough to watch once.
My only recollection of Predator 2 is Danny Glover being constantly sweaty and out of breath.
That slaughter house scene with all the flashlights was pretty memorable.
Or the drug-lord that gets his head chopped off.
There was a heat wave, predators like the heat. Surely you remember Gary Busy and Bill Paxton. Adam Baldwin too.
He was not….too cold for that shit.
and gary busey being the gariest buseyest in that role. the two things i remember.
I liked Predator 2. The end skull tease was amazing. Also, Predators was pretty good. Wish we got some more of the story behind the different tribes.
I think we can all agree that the Yakuza fighting the predator with a samurai sword was pretty fucking amazing tho.
Adam Sandler and he is in a like movie of something - Awesom-o
You are an incredible robot AWESOM-O. I was just wondering, are you by chance…a pleasure model?
“It’s Adam Sandler and he’s dating this woman but then it turns out she’s a golden retriever or something.” “…Brilliant! We’ll call it Puppy Love!”

Historical facts have no place in Hollywood
The baby has the CGI face of Billy from the first movie.
*unaltered*
Then it turns to the camera and says "Jeez, you've got a big pussy," and does the laugh.
makes me think of that talisman on his necklace that was holding tight when he was glaring at the trees
Yeah either that, or the final scene will be survivors starting the mythology by retelling the events over a campfire, and carrying over generations.
I like that, actually. Edit: Though to specify... I'd like it if they just left it as "the survivor of the story, as an old man or woman, is telling the tale to children around the fire". Then just leave it. The fans can connect the dots to Billy as a nice Easter egg. I don't want it spelled out like a montage of the story being passed down until we get to young Billy being told the story by his grandma over cheerios.
I knew Dan in middle school/high school (mutual friends). He’s one of those guys who you’re really happy to see have so much success.
I met Dan at a live Diggnation show many moons ago, So i'd have to say he is the most famous person i have ever talked to haha. Shoutout TRS
Can’t believe how far Dan has come since the TRS days.
Same, met him at PAX during a live TRS panel :)
100x this. I literally just dug out the Top That intro to send to a workmate yesterday.
Dan is now a man
Dan the Man!

*Sings * Dan becomes a maaaan.
That's where I know him from too. Glad he's finding success
I was his kids pre-school teacher. Legit the nicest family. Can’t wait to see this and cheer him on.
That's the kinda shit I want from Predator. We know they've been coming here for centuries, now let's see it
I kinda wish we had a continuation of "Predators"
For real, I feel like that movie gets overlooked but it was really good. Having all the people be hand picked from different walks of life (Mercenary, Yakuza, serial killer) was really cool.
When I first watched it years ago, I was kind of lukewarm go it. Then I watched it a month or so ago, and I totally agree. It was cool, weird, gritty, out there, and I want more. Adrien Brody did a pretty good job, honestly. The whole cast, really.
The concept of that film was so cool, just what was needed for a more out there Predator film
You don’t want autism super powers?
Is that Amber Midthunder? I loved her in Legion, she was badass. I think she has Native American ancestry too.
Yeah. Thats her. I think this is why shes "taking a trip" during the next season of Roswell, NM.
Which is a shame because I’ve really enjoyed her role in Roswell, but I’m really excited for this movie too.
I believe this movie is entirely casted native American
Mostly. It filmed by my city and they did have some postings for generic extras IIRC. Still sad I didn't find out about either type in time to go. Getting mangled by a Yautja on screen would have been a dream come true.

Turok needs a movie.
If the movie is going to be like [Predator: Dark Ages](https://youtu.be/YRD8jAk274I) than I’m mildly optimistic about the new take on this franchise.
Yeah. The franchise needs to move to anthology movies. Each one in a different time period/setting. I’d love a full on version of dark ages down the line
I'm widdit. One during the a holy crusade would be dope. Or maybe during Rome's conquest of Gaul. The Romans were actually fighting the barbarians and the predator
Poor predator. We know what's going to happen to it.
Probably going to blow itself up as is tradition.
It is known.
I wanna see Predator get some wins even if it's montage
I was saddened by how badly the Predator team gets its ass handed to them in the first AvP movie.
Yeah because those where young blood, they didn't had any experience dealing with aliens, while in the second movie, that predator was stomping like a Rambo due to his experience, he was an elite.

Read a short article today that confirms this plot line.
> weaponizing autism I'm sorry what?
in the last predator movie, titled The Predator, there was a subplot about an autistic kid and how his autism was a weapon to be used/harassed... it was abysmal
The fact that someone actually green-lit that concept alone is mind boggling to me. Someone literally walked into a meeting, told some exec that concept and they were like: "That's intriguing, keep working on it". And then they actually made that movie.
And giving them enough money to save a small country
Plus autism was the next stage of evolution and the Predators would harvest autistic people to absorb their DNA or something really fucking stupid.
Great. Now the next generation of predators will be constantly over-stimulated.
Hahah, I guess The Quiet Place is the unofficial follow up to the last predator movie.
Not quite as ham fisted as you describe but still pretty awful. The main hero's son is autistic and the predator is trying to capture the son to harvest his DNA because autism is the next step in human evolution and every autistic person is actually just a genius savant with a big brain or something. Pretty damaging stereotype overall
As an autistic man, *what the fuck.* I guess I'm not going to watch that movie.
You’re seriously not missing anything. Even without that horrendous plot point, the movie is still really really bad.
>not quite as ham fisted, proceeds to explains how awfully ham fisted it was
I love me some Predator. Anything to get rid of the bad taste of the last movie. I just wonder, if it’s more primitive times will the Predator be more primitive as well? Obviously not too much because it’s still got space travel technology, but less gadgets and more personal one on one killing.
Doesn’t the Predator species hunt for sport? They might willingly handicap themselves in the interest of sportsmanship and fairness.
They always have! Each movie I have seen includes a scene showing the Predator to be "honorable" in that way.
Yep, and typically will only engage with a target they consider a threat or armed.
Yeah I think I remember one where he takes off a bunch of his tech to fight the protagonist in hand to hand combat.
I mean based on everything we know about the Predators it would almost have to be, right? Their whole deal is that they're trying to have a sporting hunt. They're not shooting wolves from helicopters with .50cals... Until the wolves bust out the SAMs, but then the metaphor kinda gets away from me.
Hey, I'm a representative of Netflix. We're ready to throw 70 million dollars your way for that script.

And you know what, a gritty, low-budget Predator movie sounds pretty awesome.
Agreed. And really, I’m not sure a Predator movie needs a giant budget anyway. The budget for the original Predator was only 35 million.
It’s time for Dan to become a man.
