It’s not even been two weeks since Predators was released, and there’s already talk about a sequel happening. Most of the talk comes from the man himself, Robert Rodriguez. Apparently he has told everyone at Comic Con that a sequel is probably coming.
The news comes from Comic Con where Rodriguez told everyone that a sequel to Predators was likely.
He says their goal with the first movie was just to keep it simple and get things started. “So we could see what the appetite was, because the bigger movie would actually be what comes following that. That kind of sets up a new storyline, new location and world, and then you can really go crazy from there.”
I still haven’t seen the movie. From what I’ve read/heard, it’s ok. Everyone keeps saying that this film should be heralded as the REAL sequel to the original one. So, in Predator sequels talk, I guess it’s pretty cool. I’m definitely watching it this weekend. As for another sequel, if this one was pretty good, why not? This one cost approx. $40 million to make, and in less than two weeks, it’s already made $80 million worldwide. If they keep making good money back, and the films are pretty good, sequels will happen. I have no problem with Rodriguez wanting to go all Predator crazy in the sequel, now that he has set up this new story already.
What do you guys think?
the first time i saw predators i thought it was too simmilar to the first film but after it came out on dvd and i gave it chance i think its a great film, it will be good to see a sequel, the only thing id change would be the predators….. these new ones are not up to the same standard as the originals hope they keep brody on for the next one he played the part ace
First of all, the thing that made Predator was John McTiernan. Secondary to that but still important was the strong cast, filled with MEN capable of sufficiently high Alpha quota. Ventura was an active duty NavSpecWar operator, and Sonny Landham actually was required to have a bodyguard present during filming to protect the other actors (Moody). In the newest iteration, I’m sorry, but Adrien Brody imitating Christian Bale’s Batman isn’t out-toughing Danny Trejo or Oleg Taktarov, and the AA-12 shotgun looked out-sized and ridiculous on him. Like others have said, tremendous potential but not much payoff- rather like an M Night Shyamalan movie. As for every other attempt at the Predator/Predator V Alien universe; bleh. Rabbit droppings.
I know everyobdy has their own opinions how the other movies were made. But I felt Predator 2 was actually pretty good. It wasn’t a star studded cast, but the story line kept it in tact. AVP was surprising well done. Kudos to the director! AVP2 wasn’t that good at all, if you watch it with night goggles. Now comparing the original to Predators. Adrien Brody was miscast, but he did an amazing job for being a tough guy. I’d have to give him bit of an edge to Arnold, just because of his acting chops. There was a story line in the original, not much in this one. But it was kinda kool when the girl in (Predators) explained what happened in the jungle in the original. There was more action in the latest Predators. But the original was more creatve in the deaths of the characters as well with the action. I have to give the edge (slight) to the original. It’ll be nice to see Robert Rodriguez making a sequel, showing how Brody gets off the Predators world. And a pre-quel of how he got there. If originals are remade or rebooted. It’s pretty much a lock for Predator becoming a classic.
predator is the best one out of all the movies and predators had shit actors and sorry guys no one could ever do it better than arnie and no stroy ling at all predator is the best by far and anyone who doesnt agree must be retarded and probs fucked in the head
Guys, Just saw this the other day and I got to say………..IT F’N SUCKED BALLS!………HARD!
The set up was decent BUT the execution was horrible, I’ve got to agree with some of the comments that said it was as bad as part 2.
so far the only good one besides the original was Alien vs. Predator (1)
yeah it was cheese…but it was a good cheese.
this fuckn thing was embarrasing!
Machete(trejo) was in this too and all he would mutter was some bad spanish punch lines.
and as for Fishbourne? I’m not gonna say it.
YOUR OUT OF YOUR MIND AVP AND AVP2 WAS BOTH AN EMBARRASMENT TO THE
PREDATOR FRANCHISE, YOUR PROBABLY THE ONLY ONE THAT LOOKS AT AVP AS A GRAND COUGH ….COUGH CRAPPY AS HELL MOVIE INCLUDING VERY BAD ACTING AND STORY LINE, I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU THINK AVP MADE THE PREDATOR FRANCHISE BETTER BECUASE IT DIDNT IT GAVE IT A BAD NAME, AS FOR THIS MOVIE WELL MY GOOD SIR THIS MOVIE IS VERY GOOD ITS JUST WHAT IT NEEDED FOR THE PREDATOR FRANCHISE TO GO UP, AS FOR AVP IT DIDNT DO NO SUCH THING ITS A EPIC FAIL A EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPIC FAIL!
“I DONT KNOW WHERE YOU THINK AVP MADE THE PREDATOR FRANCHISE BETTER BECUASE IT DIDNT IT GAVE IT A BAD NAME”
I dont know either, Didn’t say it made anything(franchise)better.
I said it was better than this last piece of shit they put out.
part 1 only, part 2 was unwatchable.(talkin’ AVP here)
Brody was cool, BUT the movie SUCKED BALLS!
Predator was a great movie to very cool directors involved John McTiernan and Craig R Baxley. Predators 2 the next lebvel Danny Glover from Lethal Weapon perfect, really excellent cast just like original.
Predators I would have liked to see more predators fighting amongst themselves, as this was tribal war with humans in the middle. Excellent charactersn from different cultures and background from Africa, Asia, Europe the Aemricas.
This movie wasn’t cheap hopefully the sequel will be, back on there planet before coming back to earth. Well done 20th Century now and again you get it right.
i did enjoy the movie predators but i thought it could of bin abit better and more scenes of the predators, but if robert rodrigues do make predators 2… i will be looking forward to it and hopefully be abit better.
I agree… I was expecting more action from both predators, it seems like the one which is on the totem has useless role in movie, also really did not like ,,Morphius” for bad role. overall the movie rocks! always like this movie – any version
When you watch this movie you have to think of it as not just a sequel..but a revamp of the whole predator series. With AVP, both the alien and predator franchises were in decline. Robert Rodriguez, who has directed superb action films (desperado, once upon a time in mexico, planet terror), wrote this script which gave the movie its amazing pull over audiences, although the plot could have been better the idea itself was ingenious and limitless. You also have to take in mind the fact that Rodriguez only produced this film and was not able to direct it, causing it to lose a certain artistic aspect which is unique in the other films he has directed. If a sequel is created it will most likely be directed by Rodriguez making it much more appealing to audiences.. and an overall better film.
I don’t know about this. Predators dropped like 70% in its sophomore weekend. That doesn’t really convince me that it needs a sequel. I guess as long as they keep the budget low.
I’m completely looking forward to a sequel. Get us further into the Predator-verse so to speak. I was only really disappointed that the plot really didn’t go anywhere.
Otherwise, yeah Robert! Full-steam ahead, man.
AVP was something that was ruined by bad ideas and bad actors, shitty filming, and especially the darkness of AVP2. Predators was refreshing as a reboot to the series, and hopefully the next one doesn’t take to long.
AVP was better what planet are you on?
AVP 1 was better!
AVP 2 was just muttled close-ups and incoherent
It would technically be Predator 4, with the AvP films discarded and left in the junkheap. So far, in my view, it is one of the best films this year. It exceeeded my expectatations. I would not mind another film at all.
Personally, I thought AVP was better. Predators was a shadow of the original, attempting to capture the same “movie magic”…and falling short. Plus, is it just me or was Adrian Brody channeling Christian Bale from Batman – his voice was too contrived? Anyway, I am hoping, if a sequal does come to pass, Robert R. will make a no hold barred version with more originality and conviction.
it was an awsome movie and yes it was way better than predator 2 and they even reference arnie from predator 1 in it.
I enjoyed it more than AvP and AvP 2 thats for sure.
I agree with friend and critics that Predators is the best predator movie since the original. And the movie was just “”ok” but the potential for greatness was constantly pouring out of this movie. So if they do make a sequel I believe that Rodriguez will learn from his mistakes in Predators and make the sequel phenominal.
I have to disagree. Predator 2 was way better than this movie. This movie felt cheap and the predators were weak and did not have much screen time. Rodriguez was just out to make a quick buck.
Predator 2 was a disaster…. in my oppinion! Predators is the best..since the original!
Think a sequal would be warrented Brody was legit man
