Dunenewt Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 If you want an idea of what films are coming out next year, have a look at 2010 in film on Wikipedia.Film's I'm most looking forward to are Iron Man 2, Robin Hood, and the Green Lantern. I'm also pretty interested to see Predator, the new A Team film, and Clash of the Titans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Dawn Treader and Despicable Me. The rest I can take or leave, so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 I cannot find a decent version of it anywhere, but the Iron Man 2 trailer looks good, I wonder if they'll integrate the Hulk story line any further? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veK Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Uh, I'd have to check almost every movie on that list to see what it's about. But Predators could be intersting - but it could also become a total waste of time. Both is possible with movies like that. What I am looking forward to is the Prince of Persia movie. The first trailer I saw looked great and this could finally be a game-based movie which isn't total crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 AvP2 wasn't too great, but according to the Predators director he might ignore both the AvP films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandChigger Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Meaning a reboot? Oh goody.I remember when the first <i>Thud of the Beefcake</i> came out. I assume this remake will blow the original away with SFX out the ole chlamys.(Sometimes I wonder if a small asteroid airbursting over Hollywood and causing that part of California to slide into the Pacific would be such a bad thing....)

MrFlibble Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 A new Predator movie could be good, if done well (AvP2 was nothing special, but a lot better compared to the original AvP).I laughed when I read about the remake of Red Dawn with the Chinese invading the US :DActually it looks like people have run out of ideas completely. We get another Mortal Kombat movie as well (I've only watched the first one though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veK Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 A new Predator movie could be good, if done well (AvP2 was nothing special, but a lot better compared to the original AvP).Actually I (and most people I know) think it was just the other way around: AVP1 was quite good. Seeing the Predators hunt down the Aliens in those ruins. And AVP2 was the biggest crap ever (involving Predators and/or Aliens) - and besides that it was also so dark in every scene one could hardly see anything.

Dunenewt Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 I have to agree with veK, I much preferred AvP to AvP2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I much preferred Alien, Aliens, and Predator over both AVP and AVP2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I much preferred Alien, Aliens, and Predator over both AVP and AVP2.Heh, agreed :) But in AvP1, there were so much inconsistencies in the first place (I'm not even taking about those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I thought AvP1 was entertaining, but from the perspective of making sense of the franchise... not even AvP2 could save it. Then again, I suppose Aliens3 had already accomplished that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunenewt Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 I prefered all the Aliens films over AvP or Predator films, but I didn't think Predator 2 was that much better than the AvP films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlibble Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Predator 2 was a logical thing to do of Predator. When I first learned of the sequel, I immediately thought, "it's gonna be set in a big city".AvP, on the other hand, seemed like the people behind it had a very vague notion of both franchises, and just combined some of their elements in an eclectic way. There are noticeable differences in the way Predators are portrayed, and the whole story with the shifting pyramid (not to mention the back-story with ideas like "Predators taught humans how to build") can be perceived as a huge deviation from the canon.As I said above, Predator 2 and AvP2 feature recognizable elements from the original, and in AvP2 it is even more apparent: scenes like the one when the cloaked Predator emerges from water; a human sees the Predator's eyes flash; the Predator uses his medicomp device to heal a wound; the Predator uses his mask to triangulate a position of an unseen moving object; and, of course, the "classic" version of the Predator's thermal vision - all reference the original movies.The only thing that keeps me wondering is why they did not place the story in the Aliens universe, as in the comic books and games. A good screen adaptation of the story in Aliens vs. Predator 2 (game) would have made an excellent movie, in my opinion. There are well fleshed out characters, and the plot is sufficiently dramatic and intricate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlibble Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 The Predators are never mentioned in any of the Aliens films are they?No, the first time the convergence of the two franchises was hinted at was in Predator 2 where something resembling an Alien scull was briefly visible inside the Predator ship (note though that this is a bit controversial as Aliens appear to have exoskeletons and thus, supposedly, no skull). This was later developed in various games on different platforms (non of which appear to be canon though) and comic books. The difference is that the films put the story into the present day, while the previous books and comics usually did it the other way round, placing their stories into the Aliens universe.

veK Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yes, I read it. But that was 13-15 years ago I think. I really loved reading Shakespeare back then.Today I saw the trailer for the A-Team Movie. I'll watch it for sure because I loved the show when I was a kid. But I doubt that it will be a good movie. Action and fun are good though every once in a while too. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
