Stills from Predator
The Predator series, produced by Twentieth Century Fox Films, returned after a gap of 8 years under the anticipation of the crowd. In the first trailer that was exposed, the gorgeous and shocking special effects, the rhythm of horror and horror, and a great war between humans and aliens are about to begin.
The classic IP re-adaptation to create "Predator" will cause another craze
Predators are not referring to humans, but to a group of aliens who are stronger than humans, like hunting, and have their own values. They revere a complete social system similar to an imperial society, regard killing as honor, and wander the universe all day long, with any living planet being their target.
Twentieth Century Fox released its first Predator in 1987, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. After the film aired, it was once called one of the best science fiction films of the 80s. In addition to the three parts of the Predator series, the producers also specially launched two parts of "Alien vs Predator", and the war between the two alien creatures caused a great sensation at the time. It can be said that whether in the film and television industry or among people who love alien species, this IP is a special existence.
In this film, the overall time structure of the original work will be abandoned, the focus will be shifted to the modern, and there is also a relatively heavy description on the emotional line, and the director tries to create a new world pattern while striving for the characters to be plump and three-dimensional.
The escalation of human and alien conflicts still continues the horror element
In the trailer, the male protagonist's son accidentally opens the dusty chest, triggers a special mechanism, awakens the Predator beyond the earth, and decides to return to earth. In order to protect their families and the earth's homeland on which they live, two types of people have stepped forward and taken on the mission of resisting foreign invasion and saving mankind. In actual combat, there is a group of veterans who organize an elite squad to fight the aliens face-to-face. Scientists are responsible behind the scenes, providing frontline fighters with the latest enemy research reports. But war is cruel after all, and in order to protect children, you have to raise your weapons to fight the enemy.
In the 1987 version of Predator, the first half of the thinking on human nature is perfectly combined, and the second half of the peak loop plot gradually turns towards horror, and the overall story appears smooth and fascinating. In this year's release of "Predator" (provisional translation), the thriller part is still continued, and the filmmakers also directly positioned the film as R-rated.
The director of "Iron Man 3" has devoted himself to guiding the gathering of powerful actors to join
The director was Shane Black, who was personally involved in the creation of the script. This isn't the first time Shane Black has written and directed himself. He has written and directed the oolong comedy "Thief, Beauty and Detective" and marvel's classic IP "Iron Man 3". The style can be both commercial and literary, and has a high degree of plasticity.
Actor Boyd Holbrooke played the villain Donald Pierce in Wolverine 3. The heroine Olivia Marne almost 100% restored the superhero Butterfly in "X-Men: Apocalypse". In addition to the male and female protagonists, other roles are also not small. Trivante Rhodes is the adult Chiron actor in Moonlight Boy. Sterling M. K. Brown won the 75th Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Drama Series for the American drama "Our Day". Jacob Tremblay, who is only 12 years old, starred in the son imprisoned in the chamber of secrets in "The Room", the little boy born with facial defects in "Miracle Boy"... His acting experience in many good films has made him a hot child star in the North American film and television industry today.
The film is scheduled for release in the United States on September 14 this year.
