Following Robert Rodriguez’s SXSW sneak peek at the film, the first full trailer for “Predators” has landed and its as gritty as we expected it to be.
As has been previously revealed, this latest incarnation of the franchise, directed by Nimrod Antal and produced by Rodriguez, is a direct sequel to the original 1987 film. While much of the footage in the early part of the trailer was more or less revealed in the SXSW preview, the latter half of the spot is action heavy (though leans a bit too heavily on fast edits) and gives us our first real taste of the upgraded predators. And they look fierce. The big take away seems to be primal fear and it seems Antal will be channelling the nightmarish anxities evinced in “Vacancy” only to (hopefully) much greater success.
“Predators” hits theaters on July 7th.
I'm sorry but I just can't take this cast seriously. Adrian Brody and Topher Grace…really!? Two of th skinniest, wimpiest actors in the biz. I'm not saying the film needs muscle bound macho men like Arnold or Carl Weathers to succeed (especially since Hollywood doesn't really have those anymore…sorry Rock and Vin Diesel…you guys suck), but at least give me Tom Hardy or Eric Bana. Everything else about the film I'm cool with, especially the title which should've been used a long time ago (glad it wasn't though).
looks like a straight to dvd style crapfest
