Robert Rodríguez REMAKING PREDATOR!??! - Blu-ray Forum

WyldeMan45 · 04-23-2009, 09:55 PM

OMG! There is no god, noW admittingly I was happy for Zombie's Halloween and the Texas Chainsaws, but this is my WTF moment of the year!?!?! Robert Rodriguez, I hate his stuff, he only ever made one decent movie that being Desperado and I have hated everything he's done since than. And now he thinks he can remake Predator? Why don't they just make a part 3, there could have been so much more areas to go, but now he's going to change the entire storyline, and you cannot have Predator with Arnie or Jesse! The Faculty and Planet Terror where garbage IMO and now he thinks he has the talent to make Predator "My Own"

**** YOU RODRIGUEZ! GO MAKE THE JETSONS!

This past January we reported exclusively that Robert Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios was behind a Predator reboot tentatively titled Predators. Here's the synopsis we provided, "In the reboot a team of commandoes face down a mysterious race of vicious monsters." This afternoon our friends at IESB confirmed our news while adding something big, "IESB has also confirmed it will be Rodriguez' own take on the original concept and he is in fact not only producing the reboot, he's also directing it."

This is one of those movies that holds up perfectly, and cannot be made better. Some of the others have benefited by the upgrade in effects but seriously, I have never once watched this and thought they should remake it. I love both Predator movies and was just wondering why they never made a 3rd, cause I hated the AvP movies, and this is how you answer me Hollywood with a god damned remake!?!?!? So what now the predators will all be CGI? Cause there are very few real tall actors I can think of in hollywood.

Damn you!!!! You damn dirty apes of Hollywood!!!

DetroitSportsFan · 04-23-2009, 10:05 PM

I wouldn't mind seeing a remake if they can assemble a good cast like the original.

For example, the cast of The Expendables.

Filmmaker85 · 04-23-2009, 10:09 PM

I remember hearing about this a few months ago. It will not have Arnold's character but it will be pretty much the same plot with military in the jungle. The real difference is there will be more than one predator hunting them down.

I hated the AvPs as well, and i wish they would make a 3rd instead of a remake since the 2nd was really good as well

The Predator don't really have to be actors, just tall muscular guys in suits - tell me, what other works has Kevin Peter Hall been in, off the top of your head?!

[Show spoiler]

But I do think this is a bad idea, though.

jkwest · 04-23-2009, 10:12 PM

the Machete will be in it somewheres...same with Antonio Banderas...

Diesel · 04-23-2009, 10:14 PM

no need for a remake

kndy · 04-23-2009, 10:17 PM

I think maybe I'm one of the few supportive. I don't like remakes as well... but Robert Rodriguez is one of my favorite directors that can really turn things around and make this series something spectacular for the new generation. Hopefully end any Aliens vs. Predator and hopefully see both of these get a jumpstart.

The only thing Predator that I've enjoyed in the past 20+ years are the Batman vs. Predator comics (mostly the first volume), so hell yeah... jumpstart "PREDATOR" and if its' Robert Rodriguez directing, I'm all for it!

And just to add...because we enjoyed it when many of us were younger, this finicky generation are all about new technology and better special effects. So, if any of the 80's titles such as Predator, Robocop, Beverly Hills Cop, War Games, Pretty in Pink or Revenge of the Nerds or whatever that was cool to us then...then I don't mind seeing a jumpstart.

Haha of course I know Harry but what about Predator 2? Did you know he is also the black helicopter pilot at the end of predator that choppers em out? Not many people realize this.

I first remember him in 227...but that was back in the day.

Kaiju · 04-24-2009, 04:09 AM

I love the original but I still support this and look forward to it. Rodriguez is a fantastic and creative director. I have faith.

nolfoc · 04-24-2009, 05:40 AM

did they officially give this the green light.. or is it something he just wants to pursue

DESTROYOUS · 04-24-2009, 08:18 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Perfect manly made mans movie, that sucks. R.I.P. is great though. Sin City is 5 star and Planet Terror is fantastic.

Monolithium · 04-26-2009, 09:32 AM

Just make Predator 3.

Probably not many. He died in 1991.

Gamma_Winstead · 04-24-2009, 03:06 AM

Why remake Predator? It doesnt need it... at all. Why not a re-boot or a sequel? I just dont get it.

Wow, Good call! Found this on Wikipedia. Pretty sad how his life ended...

Personal life
While filming a guest spot on the television show, 227, Hall met actress Alaina Reed. The couple would marry both on the show, and in real life. Together, they had two children.

In the fall of 1990, Hall was involved in a serious car accident in Los Angeles. It was widely rumored that during surgery for his critical wounds, he received a blood transfusion that was contaminated with HIV. Soon after his transfusion, the HIV developed into AIDS and he went public with his illness with the full support of his wife. On April 10, 1991, Hall died from AIDS complications.
