First Predators Set Pic

Its not much, but we get a look at the landscape that our band of hard nut hero's will be battling for their lives on...

Apparently in the distance there thats Adrien Brody, Alice Braga Danny Trejo and others at the Canyon lake Gorge in Texas. Looks like Nimrod Antal and Robert Rodriguez have decided to go for a desert look. Nice contrast to the jungle setting of the Arnie original. Speaking of which, Antal also addressed some of the fans bitching about Brody being the lead star..

"I think when we cast Adrian, there were a lot of people going, 'What?' but at the same time, if we cast a Vin Diesel in that role or if we cast anyone who is Arnold-esque, we would have been attacked for doing that. So we decided early on to go in a very different direction as far as the casting process, but it turned out fantastic. He plays a mercenary in the film and if you look at the guys in Iraq and Afghanistan today, they're not 'yolked-out' Schwarzenegger-looking guys. They're all very wiry and thin guys, and I think it's going to play well."

Now that the ball is rolling, hopefully some more revealing set pics are to follow.

I thought it was going to be a jungle setting again. Weren't they supposed to be filming in Hawaii?

Yeah, LEEE. Its presently the only place we can really shoot movies. Even though hes correct about getting "yoked-out" Arnie types, it doesn't mean Brody's the best pick. But hey! I was wrong about Ledger and Batman.

There hasn't been a single decent Predator movie since Predator and Alien movie since Aliens, despite all the potential in the world. The chosen actors, writers and directors have managed to get all subsequent movies completely wrong. Here's hoping this one bucks that trend, but I've given up on expecting much out of these movies anymore.

haha, yeah the green screen ones to follow!

Pants(mind if I call ya Pants?) I agree, although I kinda enjoyed Alien 3..and even Alien Resurrection a little teeny bit! I mean, when Ron Pearlman and Sigorney Weaver are kicking ass in a movie it can't be all bad. But yeah, in comparison to the first movies they suck. And those AVP movies took the suck to a whole new level.

Cool? I guess?

Hopefully they don't go back down to the peak of the sh*t-o-meter like they did with AVP: Requiem. God, I still have nightmares about the awful day I decided to rent that garbage.

Hey, it's got Danny Trejo, so at least we'll get a mustachioed bad-ass with some type of machete in it, right? ;)

ROR @ : D

Don't BS us lol, ALIEN 3 sucked wayyyy beyond more than [frick]ing AVP, that was a cool movie, the second one was kinda sh1t though lol!

PHINES @ Lol!!

Well, I disagree! I though Alien 3 had some great moments..and actual acting performances. Im sure you liked AVP more because there was more action..different strokes.

I’m a huge fan of the Predator movies, I hate AVP1 because of pis-poor continuity and how the predators looked like slow fat bobble head slobs not to mention how stupid they were.

AVP2 I like because the predator was the most kickass to date. They had the music, the sounds, he was fast, slim, agile and right on the money. Not to mention he wasn’t a dumbass like the ones on AVP who let the dam thing on the ship (they would have know if he had an aliean inside him) Think predator 2 when he saw that the chick was pregnant.

I like the change of visual direction and the casting of this movie. It’s a different story in a different setting and not just P1 with a different set of Big guys. That formula should not be used again.

The actors are good which should fix one of the problems that AVP2 had.

I don’t like that 3 predators are hunting these people. One should be enough. It makes them seem less bad ass. Obviously 2 die, And the “Badass” one ends up fighting at the hero only to get killed. Im sick of the Predators always dying, It means that they can be beaten and aren’t really a threat. We know what’s going to happen and it kills the suspense. I say that in this movie that ALL of the humans die. And the predator lives. I mean we should technically be no match for these things. And while it is an honor for them to die it’s not their goal.

We’ll see if they can pulloff the whole habit thing… That might be a little bit of a stretch.

Have any of you guys seen Narin’s Predator sculpts… Look them up. They’re awesome and they should use his designs for the new Preds. So they don’t like the Fat Football players from AVP

Predator = awesome 80's classic

Predator 2 = fair sequel

Alien = one of the greatest (if not the greatest) horror/sci-fi movies ever made.

Aliens = a near perfect sequel, that traded horror for action.

Alien 3 = proof that even the greatest film series's can fall to the sequel curse.

Alien Resurrection = terrible, just terrible.

Alien vs. Predator = a clone of freddy vs. jason, combining two broken franchises in a movie with cheap thrills, and a less than interesting plot.

Alien vs. Predator: Requiem = the burying of two franchises

Nice news here Ror ole pal.

This is actually encouraging, and I agree with you about Alien 3. I dug it. Brody is gonna be fine. He was dope in The Jacket, and that sounds like the same premise soldier wise.

Ror01 - on a side note, LOST final season starts February 2nd here in the states... which is coincidentally, Groundhog's Day! I wonder if that was planned. Here's to the start of something new... just like the old.

Ok..I want you to. Go do that.

Hey Billy, yeah I saw that teaser, its cool but no new footage..did you see the Spanish chessboard one? Still no new footage but its very nice..

BillyBlack
BillyBlack - 12/2/2009, 9:41 AM
Awesome Ror

I've never seen that one before. I saw one that was similar, again with no new footage, where Locke is teaching Walt backgammon. And he talks about apposing sides, one light one dark, and they show Jacob and Esau.

I liked the end of the ComicCon trailer, the plane crashing in another locale is very intruiging to me. Starting over. No matter what happens, I'm fkn amped about the finale.
