Friday, March 19, 2010 at 10:32AM Great New 'Predators' Trailer Ain't Got Time to Bleed
If you're not one of seven or eight really, really big summer movies, you aren't guaranteed to hit the opening weekend crowd, and summer is when that matters most. So while I thought it was originally an odd move to put Predators between July 4th and Inception on the 16th, it's done a great job turning itself into a movie people will want to see.

Bluntly, I love this trailer. It doesn't have anything unexpected, really, but you can't miss the tone they're trying to achieve, fans of the original will see the small changes Robert Rodriguez and director Nimród Antal have made to make it a different movie, and people who never saw Arnold's Predator wouldn't care, anyway.
It establishes the story, the backstory, the heroes and, of course, the villains, and it's methodical, which too few trailers try for these days. Good job. Let us know your thoughts.

Everything it should be
This makes me a little happy in the pants.
It looks good and I am excited for it, but it looks like its trying to be the first one while trying not to be like the first one, if you can wrap your head around that one...
Jungle.... Check.
Prey.... Check.
Predators... Check.
Predator's German Sheppard... Check.
i really didnt like the team they put together til i just heard danny trejo say "does this look like a team orientated group of individuals to you?" i think im going to love him in this movie.
So far all the peices seem to be there. Very cerebral which is what was great about the first.
The two questions i have that if they do it right, then this movie is going to rock.
1.Will the actors try to hard to seem tough (hate when actors and especially women who try to hang with men play toughness too much rather than just let it come. Walton Goggins looks to be playing it real well in that trailor, and i hope the woman kills it, just like anna in the original)
2. Will the anamatronics of the predators faces look as fake as they did in the AvP movies, or will they make it look more real like the old movies?
if those two things turn out good, the rest already looks good and i think this will be the best monster movie we probably will see in awhile, and maybe for awhile also
Brandon how is being like the first a bad thing?
I want it to be like the first with some new additions and looks like that is what I am getting.
Moving predators to a temple did not work, moving to the city did not work, they belong in the jungle and thats how you should make these. I would be happier with sequels following the saw mythology of SAW and just cranking the same idea with some new stuff until it stops making money instead of trying something so different it kills the franchise.
Never said it was a bad thing. I really wanted to see it take place in the future against marines in space kind of like Aliens. Like how the real AVP should have been. Whom am I but just another fan right?
That is how you do a trailer. It did not reveal too much. Good stuff.
Rob don't forget its only the teaser trailer but hopefully they don't show any new scenes really in the full trailer but they just expound upon the story line more. I don't see how that is possible because the story line was basically explained in the teaser because it is simple... or is it?
The part where Adrien Brody is covered in red dots... Seems like he would be toast there but he's the main character. So my question is, is that only half the story they are showing?
One more thing, this better be 2 hours long at least or very close. No 90 minute run time bs.
