Rumor: RR remaking Predator - Blu-ray Forum

opterasis · 01-30-2009, 04:17 PM

According to B-D, Robert Rodriguez might be remaking Predator. I know, it's everyones mentality to hate remakes, but with Rodriguez behind it, this could be one badass movie. Opinions?

*edit* sorry, I misread it, he will be producing apparently.

I don't think the original needs to be remade. However, I welcome a new Predator movie that doesn't suck like AVP AVP-R.

Gamma_Winstead · 01-30-2009, 04:22 PM

no. Just no! Horrible idea! It won't even work without Arnold! And what's wrong with the original! Make a third if you need to have another!

Yeah it will be bad, bad movie if Rodriguez touches it.

Why remake a classic?! It will suck! Better with a sequel.

I doubt Predator will work w/o Ahnuld.

zombieking · 01-30-2009, 05:44 PM

just make a new Predator flick RR. I'm sure he can come up with an original story. (if not I can help!

)

Why not?

We could just replace him with one of today's action stars like Matt Damon or Shia Labouf.

You have to read the article, it is a reboot, not a remake. He isn't ruining the story (I do like the first Predator) and I wouldn't mind seeing this if it is made especially if Rodriguez is directing because he is a fantastic director and has made great films. (Sin City, Planet Terror)

STARSCREAM · 01-30-2009, 05:50 PM

f*** NO!!!! This is absurd. The first is a classic. Why would it need remade, it doesn't. Like everyone else said, just make a new one that doesn't suck like all the others. People need to get original, I'm so sick of this crap hollywood!

P@t_Mtl · 01-30-2009, 05:52 PM

Ah yes! More reboot where today young generation in Hollywood can take pretty much everything that was done in the past, call it a reboot and just make it 1000 worst then the original

STARSCREAM · 01-30-2009, 06:01 PM

A reboot, WHY, WHY, WHY! Seriously, somebody needs to get hollywood to pull their heads outta their @$$$$.

JamesKurtovich · 01-30-2009, 08:17 PM

This saddens me.

WELL THEN WHAT THE HECK IS THE DIFFERENCE. REBOOT/REMAKE; 6 OF ONE HALF DOZEN OF THE OTHER. IT'S ALL THE SAME FREAKING THING. QUIT CALLING THEM REBOOTS, THAT'S JUST A COP OUT FOR WE'RE OUT OF IDEAS SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE SOMETHING SOMEONE ELSE HAS ALREADY DONE AND RE-DO IT WITH NEW SPECIAL EFFECTS AND NEW ACTORS.

I'm just going to stop even wondering what Hollywood is thinking... I don't care if it's a RE-"boot" or RE-"make" or whatever -- the whole thing is becoming RE-TARDED.

The whole genius behind these flicks was in their originality. People have no imagination anymore...

andyman, "remake" is not a good word. Now people use "reboot", and when people catch on to the true definition of "reboot", they'll use other secret synonyms, such as "reimagining" or "revisioning".

agreed!

Tcan21 · 01-30-2009, 09:18 PM

well hopefully RR will make this a continuation or a sequel and not an actual remake. I think having RR's fingerprints on this film is actually a good thing compared to some of the other people who could be involved. Just hope they get it right

thedarkangel1975 · 01-31-2009, 05:34 AM

The only time reboots should ever be considered are when the originals sucked. Hence Tomb Raider.
