Predators New Trailer

A new trailer for the movie "Predators" is now up (for a few days already I think ^^;).

July 9th release.

Predator Design from Predators?

Something not related to Gundam or any plamo kits or action figures for this posting, but something I'm very interested in anyway. ^^

An image showing various designs for the Predators from the upcoming movie "Predators".


Some of the design seems pretty outstanding, especially the one with an unknown creature's mandible attached to the bio-mask. The one with two tusks attached is pretty mean-looking as well. ^^

Most of the designs can be seen in the teaser released in mid March, so I suppose they are official.

The design makes sense as well in my opinion, since the Predator is an alien race that hunts for trophies to prove their worth. In previous movies, we get to see them wearing necklaces made of tiny skulls of various beasts they hunted in the past, this time it's going to be more direct I suppose, with prizes from their hunt incorporated onto their bio-masks instead. The bio-mask is one of their most important equipments for both survival and the hunting, as well as being the signature design element for the entire race.

Also, as compared to "Alien vs Predator", light armor is the focus this time. ^^

"Predators" will premier in the United States on July 9th, according to IMDB. Can't wait for it to hit Malaysia. ^^

Predators

I'm a huge fan of the "Predator" series. I watched the first movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger on TV when I was a kid and liked it very much (although I must say, it's not meant to be watched by kids ^^;).

I liked "Predator 2" very much as well for the story - the unique setting of urban warfare. "AVP" wasn't that good in my opinion, but there were many new ideas on the Predator which I like, especially the weapon of retractable shuriken, and Celtic Predator's bio mask. "AVP 2" brought back a lot of the gory and bloody scenes missed in "AVP", and even let us have a peek on the Predator's world, but it somewhat destroyed the characteristics of the Predator set in the first two movies - a somewhat careless and ill tempered Predator it was in "AVP2", which I find rather disappointing. ^^;

So, of course I'm very excited to see the third installment of the "Predator" series (not inclusive of "AVP") coming in this year. The title being "Predators" would mean that there are going to be more than one Predator in the movie. That should be fun to watch. ^^



The setting of the story is back in the jungle, but on an alien planet it seems. And there are two actors I know of as seen in the preview - Laurence Fishburne from "Event Horizon" and "The Matrix" and Adrien Brody from "King Kong", both with really solid acting performance. Even more exciting, Robert Rodriguez takes on the movie as the producer. Some of his movies like "Desperado", "Sin City" and "Grindhouse: Planet Terror" are among my favorite movies, all were either directed or produced, or both, by him. so I have high hopes for this "Predators".

Also, from the preview, there are going to be more new Predator concepts as well, like bio mask with tusks and hunting beast? "A new breed," as mentioned by Robert Rodriguez in the preview.

You can watch the preview on the official site.


















For some reason unknown at the moment, this movie is going to see the first katana to debut in the "Predator" series. ^^

July 9th release. A trailer will be up on the official site this Thursday (March 18th).

Premier on May 7th. Hopefully the story would be much better than "Transformers 2"

Transformers 2 Encyclopedia

Robot Watch has a comprehensive introduction on all the characters and action figures from Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen, from RA-01 Optimus Prime to EZ Collection Devastator.

All text in Japanese though. ^^;

Has quite a lot of screen shots from the movie as well, for those who *haven't* watch the movie yet. ^^;







All images from Robot Watch.

On a related note, might be a slowpoke for Transformers fans: Transformers 3 will be coming in 2012, three years from now. ^^; Unicron might be introduced. O_O

More than 1k days before a new Transformers movie. can you stand the wait? XD
