Prey (2022)

[drb999]

I hope it’s R.

[The Fallen Deity]

A PG-13 Predator film would be a REALLY bad idea.

[Dark City Denizen]

I can’t wait for Predator 6 when the Predator tackles the evils of capitalism, gender norms & White privilege. These people never learn, no matter how much money the lose.

I don't hate the story idea. I just think it's a tad rich that it's coming from a white guy director and a white guy writer. Like how do they know anything about the struggles of being an indigenous woman?

Research and talking to people are tools that good writers use. I doubt the writer and director of Wind River knew very much until he did his job as a writer, and did research.

[DR Herbert West]

It actually has more akin to The Revenant than it does any film in the Predator canon.

Fair.
But I trust Taylor Sheridan with his writing and research attempts. Mostly.

Dan Trachtenberg, not so much.

True yet I would hope people are not expecting 100% accuracy in a Sci Fi movie. Yet at the same time we are in that kind of climate, so we shall see.

Again giving me vibes that this was not intended as a Predator movie and was re-worked to feature a predator instead of a different threat/creature.

I hope it's not actually titled 'Skull.'. But I also hope it's not eventually titled something like 'Predator Origins: Skull' either.

"It goes back to what made the original Predator movie work. It's the ingenuity of a human being who won't give up, who's able to observe and interpret, basically being able to beat a stronger, more powerful, well-armed force," he explained.

lol what rubbish. What made the original PREDATOR movie work was the same formula that made HORROR OF SPIDER ISLAND work. It’s a dozen half naked oiled up hotties in a jungle, bare flesh rolling around in mud, and occasionally being menaced by some hokey monster in a rubber mask. Just give us a horny movie again!

Didn't they confirm long ago it would be R? Especially with it coming straight to Hulu.

But yeah, if it does end up being PG-13, all I can say is this:



As in, another R-rated franchise dumbed down and ruined. You're talking about an alien that hunts humans for sport, peeling off their skin and collecting their heads as trophies, not exactly PG-13 stuff.

They will ruin it regardless.

Predator invades a tropical island where a swimsuit/lingerie photo shoot is taking place and only Rosie Huntington-Whiteley can defeat it?

Not only is a PG-13 Predator a terrible idea, it's completely pointless seeing how it's going to Hulu, not D+.

Has an exclusive Hulu release been confirmed? If not, I would guess the PG-13 rating possibility is in case the movie goes to theaters and the studio decides to go that route with the rating.

I also wonder if the "Skull" title has something to do with the lawsuit going on between the Thomas brothers and Disney. Maybe "Predator" can't be used?

To quote Marvin the Paranoid Android, "Sounds awful."

I don’t stream except in the most extreme instances (maybe once or twice a year) so I’m glad to hear this will pass me by with little to no fanfare.

I was hoping the 1700's and showing the passing of the flintlock from Pred 2. Possible still I suppose. If he admits a connection to Pred 2 then no surprise.

Real shame that never came to pass.

While not a bad idea. I think the origins of the flintlock, in live action, are more powerful as is. We just know that the Predators have a history here on Earth. Man, I love that scene in Predator 2. That whole section in the ship added so much mythology to it.
