OK.

[CitizenVectron]

Could be very interesting if done well!

[Greatoneshere]

Now that sounds fucking interesting. Dan Trachtenberg is involved so should be good.

[skillzdadirecta]

Yeah the protagonist is a Commanche Woman I believe.

[Brick]

That's actually an interesting concept. 

[Fizzzzle]

I am fucking on board.

[ort]

I mean, we already had Cowboys and Aliens so why not?

[TheLeon]

I don’t have much connection to the Predator franchise, but this is really intriguing. 

[SimpleG]

I am in

I cant help but wonder if this based on the May Blood Pave My Home short story

 

May Blood Pave My Way Home is a 2017 short story written by Weston Ochse, published by Titan Books as part of the anthology Predator: If It Bleeds. In the story, a unit of African-American cavalry soldiers pursuing Pancho Villa and his rebels through Mexico discover that the local Comanche tribe have made a very strange alliance

Quote

The filmmakers were committed to creating a film that provides an accurate portrayal of the Comanche and brings a level of authenticity that rings true to its Indigenous peoples. Myers, an acclaimed filmmaker, Sundance Fellow and member of the Comanche nation herself, is known for her attention and dedication to films surrounding the Comanche and Blackfeet nations and her passion for honoring the legacies of the Native communities. As a result, the film features a cast comprised almost entirely of Native and First Nation's talent, including Amber Midthunder ("The Ice Road," "Roswell, New Mexico"), newcomer Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp ("Sooyii"), Michelle Thrush ("The Journey Home"), Julian Black Antelope ("Tribal").

Man, I really do wish all the dialogue was in the Comanche language, but I can thoroughly understand the great difficulty that would entail.

[Greatoneshere]

Dan Trachtenberg is directing, the Portal: No Escape short was great as was 10 Cloverfield Lane, so I'm cautiously optimistic for this. The solo screenwriter Patrick Aison is completely untested, so we'll see, that's a potential red flag.

The production is making history with this move.

I also just wanted to say the trailer made it look really good. It felt primal, which is what Predator should feel like. It's a perfectly chosen period setting. Makes me feel they need to get Dan Trachtenberg for the Horizon TV show. 

 

I'm still sort of bummed how Shane Black's The Predator went ultimately (when it should have been really good), though I actually felt Nimrod Antal's Predators was pretty underrated from 2010; which again was a cool, unique setting.

Nice, although it'll look a little weird just being a dub, and the lip syncing off.

New movie looks good and I’m glad for the native tongue being offered as well, and I think will be my way to watch (might switch between the 2) I kinda like the “Shane Black” Predator movie in a cheesy entertaining way (seen 3 times) I liked the concept from before that as well, being setup in a completely different environment. So count me in for a viewing eventually, and thankfully will be on Disney+ Canada 

[SimpleG]

I know this is lower budget but some of that CGI looks not great.

[skillzdadirecta]

The best Predator movie since the first one was the Adrian Brody one. That Shane Black one was Baaaaaaaad.

[Keyser_Soze]

Reviews are looking positive. This could be legit good and not just in a campy sort of way.

Was the movie filmed in the Comanche language? Or is that dubbed?

One of those movies that probably technically isn't the worst movie I've ever seen but is always in the running whenever anybody asks what the worst movie I've ever seen is.

I believe it is dubbed. Would have been cool to have filmed it in Comanche though.

I haven't seen it, but I heard there was a lot of studio meddling. But it sounds like it was broken at the script stage, with the movie treating a form of autism or something as a "super power" kind of thing and a group of soldiers who aren't that funny and are sexist or something. Again, haven't seen it, but heard it was bad. I'll be watching this though.

Sounds like originally it was supposed to be Comanche only but had to compromise and make it a dub.

Yeah, that's what I remember reading too. It's a big movie since it has Native Americans at high levels of production.

[GeneticBlueprint]

I don't watch dubs so that's disappointing.

Yeah, live-action dubs are horrendous. If they had gone the Apocalyto/Passion of the Christ route, that would have been awesome. Then again, The Northman wasn't in Old Norse either (well, modern Icelandic would be the closest equivalent) so it's no surprise either, this is usually the case.

[Brick]

Depends on how much dialogue is in the film to begin with. If there isn't that much, and the main character is mostly by herself, and the mood is isolation and being hunted, then a dub wouldn't be too distracting. 

[skillzdadirecta]

So the Commanche language is dubbed and English is what they are actually speaking?

Correct.

[69los]

I really enjoyed this.

 

Spoiler

If the dog died, I would have not.

Really good. Probably the best predator movie since the OG.

4k but no HDR makes me sad, though
