That's good, because I enjoyed 10 Cloverfield Lane hugely, and I would dearly love a post-Predator 2 film in the series to not be poo poo. The 2018 Predator was an incredible spectacle of bollocks and pretending it doesn't exist is the first step to the new one maybe not being execrable.

There was a new Predator movie just two years ago? Jesus. I must have completely obliterated all memory of it ever even being mentioned, never mind anything more. Although now I think about it, didn't it have something to do with an autistic kid, which is obviously the first concept that springs to mind when someone says "Hey, let's make another Predator movie!"

It is by far the single worst film in the entire franchise. It is unforgivably dumb.

It's another one of those franchises where it seems like it should be easy to come up with cool sequel ideas but apparently not.

IShallRiseAgain posted:All 80s franchises need to die. Right! We just need more modern movies to go the 80s franchise route. Why don't we have 5 increasingly campy VVitch movies right now? Why isn't It Follows on it's weird goofy 5th meta entry about the making of It Follows? Where is my low-rent Canadian TV version of The Babadook that actually has nothing to do with The Babadook? Get on it, Hollywood!!

Predator 2018 has a character death edited in in post and that's all that's really needs to be said about that. 10 Cloverfield Lane ruled and Trachtenberg's episode of The Boys look real good, so this is a big plus.

I’ll believe in a good new predator movie when I see it. I remember thinking Shane Black helming a predator movie would be a slam dunk and...uh, we all saw how that turned out.

Maxwell Lord posted:It's another one of those franchises where it seems like it should be easy to come up with cool sequel ideas but apparently not. I think it's because the franchise is too invested in the mythology of the predators themselves, whereas, what worked about the original is that it's essentially two films. for the first...30 minutes or so, it's a pretty straightforward action film that hints at lots of conspiracies. There's clear dynamics between the team. Then, the Predator shows up and it becomes a horror film. The rules of an action film stop applying. Each of the commandos after the first dies in a way that should be impossible in an action film. Jessie Ventura has the best gun and is Jesse Ventura, so he shouldn't die. Certainly not first via one shot. Bill Duke is avenging his friend, Carl Weathers is seeking redemption, Sonny Landham strips off all his weapons and faces him one on one. He doesn't even get to die on screen. The ultimate thrill of the film isn't the predator itself (though it's amazing creation of both design and performance) it's the intersection of two genres. None of the sequels bar Predator 2 have understood that. You could do a modern one, absolutely. Basically, you remake the first thirty minutes of Lone Survivor, then have the predator show up.

Fred Dekker might just bring out the worst in Black. I don’t like Monster Squad much.

It was the one where they declare that Predators were hunting down stuff to advance their species, which means they want an autistic kid. Also Shane Black cast his sex offender friend as a creep who hits on Olivia Munn.

That'd sorta just be doing the original over again, though. Ideally a good sequel expands the formula a bit.

The original is an 80s action film that becomes an 80s horror film. My version would be a 2020s war film that becomes a 2020s horror film. Make it according to the film making trends of now instead of trying to recapture the 80sness of the original, which no one can do because it's not the 80s anymore

Sequels should be illegal unless they were planned out and scripted from before the release of the first installment. I could count every good unplanned sequel ever made on one hand

I could count every good unplanned sequel ever made on one hand also this. The only way to go with predator is a 'reimagining' or something, updating the formula or rerunning it under different circumstances. It doesn't lend itself to any ongoing saga, but watching a new batch of action heroes of the age getting diced up every ten years or so would be dope.

Or maybe just bury everyone ever associated with the predator sequels in an abandoned barren plain in nevada and give John mctiernan and John Thomas $100 million to make an entirely new ip

Predator 1 was a military "rescue" film (ala Rambo 2, Missing in Action) which dropped a Predator into it. Predator 2 was a cops vs drug dealers film, which dropped a Predator into it. For this film they need to find another action formula to disrupt with the arrival of a Predator. Maybe something along the lines of Die Hard?

10 Cloverfield Lane was nothing special but gently caress JJ Abrams the hack and the gimmick to use Cloverfield like a brand to sell lovely movies. Make a Predator movie as good as the Aliens vs Predator arcade side scrolling beat em game. After Predator 1 and 2, that's the best one.

I could count every good unplanned sequel ever made on one hand It's really amazing how good Fury Road was, though. That's also a (sort-of) 80s franchise, too. I think that movie succeeded because it had strong creative direction from the top, whereas I bet a lot of these other sequels are just studios saying "hey, we should bring this franchise back!"

Charlie Schafer's looking for his soulmate, but has terrible luck with dating. His penchant for activities introduced to him by his loving father-- conspiracy theories, close-quarters combat, and covering himself in mud-- seem to repel everyone he's interested in! That is, until he starts talking to Anna, a fun and energetic person who seems to be the one who will tolerate Charlie's hobbies! The two converse online and share their stories, laughing and learning from one another about how wonderful and interesting life truly can be. Charlie finally asks to meet up and to his surprise Anna agrees! However, upon his arrival, Charlie is shocked to learn that Anna is not who she claimed to be... ...Next summer, Josh Hutcherson is... The Pre-Dater!

I want to see a Predator movie where the Predator is the hero and it flips it to where the human is the one hunting the Predator. Minimal dialog. Mostly hangs around the Predator. That’d be cool.
