Clips and Pics from upcoming offworld-actioner Predators are ten a penny on the net this month, but this clip courtesy of BDTV bought back such fond memories of a childhood spent shouting ‘This stuff’ll make you a godammn sexual tyrannosaur’ that we had to show it.
An almost shot-for-shot recreation of the original movie as Adrian Brody’s mercs encounter the multi-mandibled hunter-killer for the first time, we also get to catch a glimpse of a very special cinematic weapon – yep, Old Painless is back!
The last time we spoke about Commando here on STS, we ended up arguing the case for more deviant Australian villains for half an hour and devising a drinking game based around the film’s body count (we also considered growing Bennet-style push-broom moustaches – some looks never go out of style do they?), so we’re already stocking up on Sainsbury’s Basics Bourbon in anticipation as Fox announce a ‘can’t possibly be anywhere near as good as the original’ remake.

Just a little off the top please...
While Predators at least boasts Robert Rodriguez’s stabilising hand on the tiller, this former governator vehicle wil instead suffer the undue attentions of Fast and the Furious auteur David Ayer.
You know him right? He made that Harsh Times flick? Oh, and apparently he’s going to put a ‘real world spin’ on the story.
Because obviously, gay ex-green berets kidnap each other’s kids all the time in the real world.
So basically, we’re heading for a Jason Bourne-lite that steadfastly refuses to shout ‘I had to let him go’ after dropping a man off a cliff.
This can only be appalling.
Wow! This green band trailer for Rodriguez’s upcoming take on the alien man-hunter (and not in a sexy, Species way either) just hit, and we have to say it’s looking pretty good -sure Arnie still casts a hell of a shadow, but Adrien Brody seems to be defying the odds and coming across as a viable badass, and Laurence Fishburne looks well and truly set to ditch his Matrix detritus and kick some serious xenomorphic ass. What do you think? Is this a return to the series low-fi, super cool 80’s roots, or more AVP overload for a series that should be retired?

Despite the very, very odd casting – Adrian Brody as an alien-fighting marine anyone? – Nimrod Antal’s new/old take on Predator looks to be shaping up nicely, with dedicated fan site AVPGalaxy getting hold of some tasty set pics that show the Arnie-Era jungle aesthetic very much in place. With glimpses of ‘Super-Predators’ sneaking onto the net – not to mention glimpses of cast members rammed onto giant wooden spikes – Predators could be just the reboot the multi-mandibled hunter killers need.
Predators should hit screens later this year – in the meantime why not check out the full gallery?
