I wish. It comes from the Google. That's a relief. I was going to offer my condolences. Wow, I didn't realize how much those things go for these days. Like a hundred bucks. Yep. A hundred bucks for a barely functioning experiment. Amazingly, people are willing to cough up for it.

I don't think they intend to use it. It's just for nerd cred.
I think we were talking about a Predator sequel at some point...is there anything official yet, or just someone saying he'd like to make one?

True, I suppose.
But yeah, so far it's just talk.

Can this wait? I need to do some calibrations

The idea of it set in Afghanistan appeals to me, takes it close to home with whats going on in their.
Plus it gives Hollywood a chance to villanize the Taliban and then let a Predator loose on them. Or Two.

The ship has possibly sailed on a desert-set Predator movie. We already saw an alien planet with multiple Predators, going back to earth wouldn't work if they did it so soon. Also, IMO multiple Predators is a stupid idea anyway. Predators did almost as much damage to the creature's formidibility than the AVP flicks. Having a Predator die before the end of the film is anti-climactic. They are not like the Aliens. Although the desert concept would be cool. First 45 minutes is a gritty Afghanistan war movie, the final hour is an action/scifi/horror. Same formula as the first film. But that would be...

The Hurt Locker cost $16 million and that was shot in Morroco not in Robert Rodriguez' back yard. I'm sure adding a guy running around in a Predator costume wouldn't cost $100 million.

I was thinking more along the lines of Two Predators hunting a crack team of SAS or Seal Team 6 or w/e.
Rather than letting us obviously know there are two of them, make it as though there is only one hunting them. Playing off the "Super" Predators hunting the normal ones, have it only at the end it is revealed that there are two and the "Super" has been stalking both the Humans and the Predator.
Boom, we have a final showdown where we get a rematch and no Predator dies before the end of the movie.

The Thomas brothers write another script, Alan Silvestri comes back to do the music, Neil Marshall directs, Tom Hardy stars in it and they call it Predator 3. I know. Keep dreaming, right?

Replace Tom Hardy with Nicolas Cage and you've got a deal.

They should go for a cast of several moderate action icons. Karl Urban, etc. Make it totally unpredictable as to who will survive.

How bout instead of the term super predator. We change it to being an outcast predator or a badblood. and hell he can even still be larger than the regular pred. I just dont like the idea of dogs and wolves.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin & Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as two guys that hate each other but have to stick together to survive and a showdown scene between the "Classic" Predator against the "Rejected Predator" creature would be a Predator movie I really be excited about.
And with "Classic" Predator actually looking like the 1987 style Predator design instead of what I saw in Predators. I'm maybe the only one, but when I saw the "Classic" Predator, It looked like one of those fan made costumes to me.
Sorry for bumping a 2 month old topic. I just noticed this topic.

Too campy to have Austin and The Rock in the same Predator film. Steve Austin fits the franchise like a condom though. Doubters can check him in Damage and Hunt to Kill.
