Film School Rejects: Derek Mears to Fight ‘Predators’

  • Aleric · 1 month ago
    Too many people miss the point that the scariest part of a predator is not his size or the weapons he carries but the mind behind it all. They are cunning, professional tacticians that have been tested in combat as well as developing a high tech civilization that has survived thousands of years of being the best at what they do.

    What we have been missing in all the past films is a true look at the Predator culture and home world. The basis of what would make a great film would show the movie from the perspective of the Predators and not the humans. This is where hollywood is missing the boat, and what lead to a lot of disappointment in say The Transformers. Most wanted to see the Transformers and what makes them tick, we already know everything about Humans, the draw is the alien culture and what makes it tick.

    Start with a seasoned Predator warrior and show who and what made him into a stealthy killing machine and how he gained his rank in life. Go from his recieving a mission from his elders and follow it thru to the conclusion, and here's a twist, don't have him die at the end blowing himself up which is a cop out in my book. After all if every Predator dies in the end, it sort of blows their ability to survive and the reason for thier long lives.

    Call me crazy, but Predators are also pretty badass in terms of size and strength. =)

    I'd be very hesitant of a film about a Predator on a world of Predators. Like a day in the life. Predators interacting with each other doesn't hold the same appeal to me as Predators killing things.

    I agree with thier strenght and size

    I didn't say I wanted it to be an MTV production of "The Predators". Give us more Predator content and less Human content.

    *ahem* i think a day in the life of a Predator does involve killing things. but, it wouldn't surprise me if the Predators go off-world because they hunted everything else to extinction.

    Well good hunters don't over hunt their prey, they cultivate them to keep the hunt going. Look at Humans, they kept us around for over 10 thousand years.
