    I’m so pumped for this. Predator has gotten leagues better since Dan Tractenberg got ahold of it. Prey and Predator: Killer of Killers are the best in the series. Prey earns it a little unfairly because it’s such a love letter to the first one but it just works so well. I’m going to a fan screening tomorrow

      makes me wish they’d take another shot at a good version of Alien vs Predator that’s more in line with the videogames and comics. doesn’t have to take place on Earth. just make it make sense.

        I’d have hope for that. Between Alien: Earth digging in on the corporations/synthetics, Badlands fully going in on Weyland:Yutani, and that Tractenberg said Killer of Killers/Badlands are building up to a crazier third thing, we might have a chance

        As long as it is made with practical effects. The problem with comics is that the sky (or the artist’s ability) is the limit, and games also give a lot of leeway in effects. I just hope that doesn’t twist their arm into doing it all in CG…

        Maybe an anime would also be very welcome based on the recent thread of great adaptations.

        I wasn’t welmed with Terminator though…

      Really?!? I looked at the promo and I was tired of predator for a bit, and I thought it was a checkbox movie anyway - while hating myself for thinking so, natch - but I maybe wanna give it a chance.

      Thanks for the nudge.
