Predators (trailer)

[Espy]

executive producers do get to make executive decisions on casting, big story things and all that sort of thing, don't they?

It depends on the producer. Often you read about someone like a Peter Jackson being more involved with a production than a Michael Bay or Sam Raimi (from what I've heard about Raimi anyway) who just put their names on stuff and cash checks.

That trailer didn't thrill me exactly, but the better cast could be a step up. It already looks better than either AvP movie or Alien Resurrection, so we're not in horrible territory yet.

Oh, wrong context.

Oh Charles, you're ALWAYS that guy.

Without a doubt.

Also: Crone, my understanding about how the film is being done is that Rodrigez is taking a very hands on approach to this film, much like P. Jackson and District 9. They aren't just sitting back and collecting paychecks. They are helping and giving a chance to some people that they think will make great films. Hopefully this is as good as it looks.

I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED THAT FROM THE EXTENSIVE FOOTAGE HE HOSTED THAT I WATCHED BEFORE POSTING A VIDEO OF IT IN THIS THREAD. I MUST BE REALLY DUMB. MY BAD.

Except it's only Predators, so the cast is not irrelevant like it was in AvP.

Not AS irrelevant. They still look pretty unmemorable from that trailer. The whole thing being a game/hunting experiment just seems dumb to me. I hate being THAT GUY, but it really never seems like it's gonna approach what Predator was.[/QUOTE]

Agreed.
