YES!

More Predators Videos

That was my immediate reaction after seeing the trailer to the newest Predator movie. By all accounts this looks like the best movie of the summer by far. Just look at the cast. I didn't think they could top the second Predator movie, let alone the first. The second had Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon, Angels in the Outfield), Bill Paxton (Aliens, Mighty Joe Young), and Gary Busey who has acted in nearly 150 of the most obscure and unrenowned movies and television shows since the 1960's. The original Predator produced two state governors (amazing!), Carl Weathers (Rocky, Balto 3), and the bad indian from 48 Hours. The cast, story, and orgy of one liners made these some of the most beloved movies.

Then two horrible Alien V. Predator movies later, it looked like the proud Predator franchise was on it's last legs. The name had been dragged through the mud by C rate actors who had no place acting in soft core porn on Cinemax let alone represent one of the proudest movie franchises. It took Jesus three days to be resurrected, but director Nimrod Antal is not God, and it took him three years to resurrect Predator.

When I first read his name, having a director named Nimrod did not inspire much confidence until I saw the all star cast he assembled. Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Trejo, Shane from The Shield, and the whimpy kid from That 70's Show. The story is as plausible as any of the others. The most elite warriors on earth are some how transported to the planet of the Predators to be used as wild game. This looks promising, but if two characters don't arm wrestle standing up while calling eachother son of a bitch when they greet eachother, this could be another dismal failure.
