Predators is a 2010 American science fiction horror film directed by Nimród Antal and starring Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Trejo, and Derek Mears. It is a sequel to Predator (1987) but ignores Predator 2 (1990) and the crossover films Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007). According to producer Robert Rodriguez, the title Predators is an allusion to the second film in the Alien franchise, Aliens (1986).[4] The title also has a double meaning, referring both to the extraterrestrial Predator creatures and to the group of human characters who are pitted against them.[5]

Plot

Royce (Adrien Brody) awakens from unconsciousness to find himself parachuting into an unfamiliar jungle. He meets several others who have arrived there in the same manner: Mexican drug cartel enforcer Cuchillo (Danny Trejo), Spetsnaz soldier Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov), Israel Defense Forces sniper Isabelle (Alice Braga), Revolutionary United Front officer Mombasa (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), death row inmate Stans (Walton Goggins), Yakuza enforcer Hanzo (Louis Ozawa Changchien), and doctor Edwin (Topher Grace). None of them know where they are or how they arrived there. Royce takes charge but reveals little about himself, though Isabelle suspects that he is a mercenary and former black operations soldier. He speculates that they have been brought to the jungle for a reason, since with the exception of Edwin they are all armed and lethal killers. In the jungle they find empty cages, plants with a neurotoxic poison that Edwin collects on a scalpel, and a deceased United States Special Forces soldier. Arriving at higher ground they find themselves staring at an alien sky, and conclude that they are not on Earth.

After the party is attacked by a pack of quadrupedal alien beasts, Royce deduces that the planet is some type of game preserve and that the humans are being hunted as game. Hearing Cuchillo's cries for help, they find his dead body being used and voice being mimicked in an attempt to bait them into a trap. They follow the quadrupeds' tracks to a hunting encampment and find a captive Predator. Three larger Predators attack, killing Mombasa, but the rest of the group escapes. Isabelle reveals that she has heard of these creatures before, from a report by the only survivor of a Special Forces team who encountered one in Guatemala in 1987 (referring to the events of Predator).

The group next meets Noland (Laurence Fishburne), an air assault soldier who has survived on the planet for years by scavenging and hiding in an abandoned structure. He explains that the Predators sharpen their killing skills by collecting warriors and dangerous beasts from other worlds and bringing them to the planet to hunt. Noland also reveals that there is a blood feud between the larger Predators and the smaller ones. Royce hopes that if they free the smaller Predator being held prisoner in the encampment, it might be able to take them home using the other Predators' spaceship. Noland attempts to murder the group during the night, but Royce creates noise to attract the Predators, who kill Noland. In the ensuing chase Nikolai sacrifices himself to kill one of the Predators using an explosive. Stans is killed by a second Predator, which Hanzo then succeeds in killing at the cost of his own life.

Edwin is injured by a trap as he, Royce, and Isabelle head for the encampment. When Isabelle refuses to abandon him, Royce leaves them both behind and they are caught by the third and final large Predator. Royce frees the smaller Predator and heads for the ship as the two Predators confront each other. The larger Predator kills its foe and then destroys the ship as it takes off. Meanwhile, Edwin paralyzes Isabelle with the neurotoxic poison on his scalpel and reveals that on Earth he was a psychopathic murderer, and feels that he fits in on this planet among the monsters. Royce appears, never having boarded the ship, and saves Isabelle by stabbing Edwin through the throat.

Royce booby-traps Edwin's body with grenades, using him as bait to disorient the Predator. A violent fight ensues in which Royce successfully decapitates the Predator after being saved by a sniper shot from the recovering Isabelle. As Royce and Isabelle recover from their ordeal they observe more prey being parachuted down to the jungle. Royce declares that they must find another way off the planet.

Development

The film was produced by Robert Rodriguez, and written by Alex Litvak and Michael Finch.[6] In 1994, Rodriguez wrote an early script for the film for 20th Century Fox while he was working on Desperado.[7] Rodriguez presented the script to the studio, but was denied when they realized that the budget would be too large.[4] 15 years later, the studio decided to go with his script.

It's the story from that script I had written way back then. They had hired me to write a Predator story while I was waiting to do Desperado back in 1995. It was crazy, this thing I came up with. So then fast-forward to now and, like, six months ago, they found the script and called me up. 'Hey, we want to redo this franchise and we found your old script. This is where we should have gone with the series! We want to move forward.' And that's what we're doing.[8]

In 2009, 20th Century Fox studio executive, Alex Young, called Rodriguez to consider using his treatment to revive the individual Predator franchise.[9] The film was produced at Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios as opposed to 20th Century Fox so that Rodriguez had more creative control over the film.[4] It was originally thought that Robert Rodriguez would direct, but on June 12, 2009 it was rumored that British director Neil Marshall was involved in directing the film.[10] On July 1, 2009, Nimród Antal was officially signed on to direct.[11]

Rodriguez and Antal have expressed that they wanted this film to be a sequel only to the original Predator[5][12] as the film is trying to distance itself from the two Alien vs Predator films.[4][12] Antal stated the reasoning behind the decision to dismiss the Alien vs Predator films was that he wanted the film to be closer in tone to the original Predator film, as the AVP films had made the Predators too "cartoonish".[13]

Casting

Further information: List of characters in the Predator series and individual characters

At the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con International Rodriguez stated that Predators would feature an ensemble cast, and that the most important element of the film would be "great characters so that the audience feels they're going on this journey with them".[5] He also noted that the title had a double meaning, referring not only to the extraterrestrial hunters but also to the human characters, all of whom are dangerous killers.[5] He and Antal wanted each of the characters to be well-developed enough to be able to stand alone.[12] Rodriguez hoped to have Arnold Schwarzenegger play a cameo role as Dutch, his character from the original Predator film, but this ultimately did not happen.[14]

The principal cast members of Predators are:

  • Adrien Brody as Royce, an American ex-military soldier turned mercenary who reluctantly assumes leadership of the group of humans stranded on the alien planet.[15][16] Brody claimed he had been "blown away" by Predator and viewed his role as a challenge, wanting to bring a complexity to the character that would contrast with Schwarzenegger's muscle-bound role in the original film.[17] He did put on twenty-five pounds of muscle for the role, stating that "I want it to be entertaining and part of the ride that people see when they see a movie like that. But that's not really why I'm in it and that's not really what I brought to it. I brought the same kind of discipline that I would to a film like The Pianist."[17] Antal and Rodriguez specifically wanted to avoid casting an actor physically similar to Schwarzenegger, wanting to "go in a very different direction" and reasoning that real-life soldiers are wiry and tough rather than burly.[18] "We thought casting a physically 'Schwarzenegger-esque' character would have done the original film a disservice", said Antal, "and would have done this film a disservice because we are not trying to remake or copy the original film. I told everybody early on that I can make anybody look tough. What I can't do is teach them how to act".[19] Brody has expressed interest in reprising his role in future sequels.[17]
  • Alice Braga as Isabelle, a sniper from the Israel Defense Force and a CIA black operations assassin.[20] She failed to save her spotter during a mission, and feels that she has been brought to the alien planet as punishment and to seek redemption.[20] As the only female character, Isabelle plays the role of peacemaker: "My character, funny enough," said Braga, "is the one that is always trying to grab everyone together and like reuniting everyone and stop[ping] the fights and saying that we have strength in numbers."[21] Braga described the character as "a tough cookie ... sweet inside but tough outside".[21] She read a sniper manual to prepare for the role, and carried a fourteen-pound sniper rifle during shooting.[21]
  • Topher Grace as Edwin, a doctor who does not seem to belong amongst the group of hardened killers until he reveals that he is actually a psychopathic murderer.[16] Grace was dubious about taking the role when he read the script, "because I really liked the first Predator, but all the sequels haven't been as good. Then when I read this, I thought, 'What Aliens was to Alien, this is to Predator'. Because Predator never really got its due; it never really got that sequel."[19] He compared Antal's approach to that of James Cameron, director of Aliens; remaining faithful to the original work but taking the concepts in slightly different directions.[19] Grace performed some of his own stunts, including jumping off of a waterfall.[19]
  • Oleg Taktarov as Nikolai, a Russian commando from the Spetsnaz Alpha Group who was fighting in the Second Chechen War before finding himself on the alien planet. Taktarov, a retired mixed martial artist and former Ultimate Fighting Champion, described his role as combining elements of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura, and Bill Duke's characters from the original Predator film, and praised it as "the first time you get a really, really, positive, good Russian character in an American [film]".[22] Taktarov used his martial arts training during some of the film's action sequences.[22] While filming a scene he hit his face on a steadicam and was bleeding, but continued filming because the blood added to the effect of the scene.[22]
  • Walton Goggins as Stans, a death row inmate from San Quentin State Prison who was scheduled to be executed in two days before suddenly finding himself on the alien planet.
  • Louis Ozawa Changchien as Hanzo, a Yakuza enforcer who rarely speaks and reveals late in the film that he is missing his leftmost two fingers, having performend yubitsume. Changchien used his kendo training for a scene in which his character uses a katana in a duel against a Predator.[22] Antal, a kendo fan, insisted that the swordfight look authentic.[22]
  • Mahershalalhashbaz Ali as Mombasa: A Sierra Leone RUF death squad soldier.
  • Danny Trejo as Cuchillo, a ruthless enforcer for the Los Zetas Mexican drug cartel who carries twin uzis.[23]
  • Laurence Fishburne as Roland Noland: A stranded U.S. Air Cavalry Soldier, driven insane from his time on the planet. He scavenged and used Predator technology as his weaponry.
  • Brian Steele as Berzerker "Mr. Black" Predator: A massive Black Super Predator with a jaw bone on his mask. Steele was nicknamed "Mr. Black" by the film crew.
  • Carey Jones as "Tracker" Predator: A Predator that controls the "hunting dogs".[24] He also played the "Falconer" Predator.
  • Derek Mears as "Classic" Predator: A Predator being held prisoner by the larger, more aggressive Predators.[25]

On December 18, 2009, Laurence Fishburne was reportedly cast for a role in Predators.[26] On January 13, 2010, Fishburne revealed information about his character Noland, a man who survived for ten seasons on the alien planet by living in a cave, saying "It's a really interesting role, quite different from Morpheus (from The Matrix).... a bit shady, crazy, surviving on his own, kind of a ratty character. I didn't know anything about his role, and we all went to see the rehearsal. It was quite a surprise."[27]

Changchien, who plays "Hanzo", also stated about his own character: "I guess he used to be a guy who can murder someone without a qualm, but by the time he arrives to the Hunting Camp, he'll no longer be that kind of person. Those things aren't explained in the script, but you'll get it when you see the movie."[27]

Actors Brian Steele, Derek Mears, and Carey Jones portrayed the Predator creatures in the film.[28]

Filming

The film was shot in 2D[12] on a 53 day schedule. Exterior filming location was mostly set in Kolekole, Hawaii.[29] Filming started on September 28, 2009.[30] The film wrapped up its 22 day shoot on the Hawaii location on November 1, 2009. The film shot its interior set scenes at Robert Rodriguez’s studio in Austin, Texas.[31] 60% of the film was shot in Texas in order to be eligible for a tax benefit.[4] The film shot more exterior footage at Canyon Lake Gorge in Comal County, indicating that the film will not rely mostly on CGI backgrounds. On January 15, 2010, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, who plays "Mombasa," stated in an interview that filming on Predators has completed and that a trailer for the film was being developed while they were still filming.

It was a blast. It was an amazing experience. We were in the tropical rainforests of Hawaii stomping through the mud and getting rained on all day and then we ended up finishing in Austin, Texas. I really think this movie is going to be good. They had cut together a trailer while we were still working and it looked amazing. It's a great cast and along with the action elements and the sci-fi elements, and with Robert Rodriguez being involved, I think it's going to push it to another level.[32]

On March 12, 2010, behind the scenes footage was released on the official movie website. It was also revealed that a trailer would be released on March 18, 2010.[33]

Special effects

Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis, head of special effects studio Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc, also known as "ADI", who previously worked on 2004's Alien vs. Predator and 2007's Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem did not return for the creature design of Predators, as well as Stan Winston Studios. Instead, KNB EFX’s Howard Berger and Greg Nicotero have taken over building the creature suits.[34] Berger, who worked with Winston on the original Predator, stated that the studio is reprising the original Stan Winston design of the Predator in the film, saying "We wanted to have the Predator look as it did in the original film. We went back and looked at the original...everyone’s going to be very happy that we’ve been very faithful to the Stan Winston designs."[35] In addition to the original Predator designs, the film will also feature many new creatures never before seen in a previous Predator film, such as a new breed of Predators that belong to another Predator tribe, alien creatures that have been domesticated by the Predators for use in hunting, and other alien creatures that have been brought to the planet by the Predators to be used as prey.[12]

Music

It was thought since the film began production that original Predator composer Alan Silvestri would return to do the score,[36] but on February 26, 2010, it was announced that John Debney, who worked with Rodriguez on such movies as Spy Kids and Sin City, would compose the original score for the film.[37]

Rodriguez shared his thoughts on how the score should play out saying:

I think we're going to go for something that fits the tone of the movie really well. That original score went great with the movie, but the notes and the music do really evoke a quality – you know, when he (Debney) showed me his rough cut, or some scenes, every once in a while at the right moment I started hearing strings from the score – because we had a temp score, and it really works.... So we'll probably incorporate some of that. At the right time, because you don't want to overuse it. But it's like the James Bond theme – you can't use it all of the time, but when you do, you can get the audience really, really pumped.[38]

Debney was honored to be part of the Predators franchise, saying

When I first learned that Robert Rodriguez and Fox studios were planning a re-boot of one of my favorite films of all time, ‘Predator,’ I was thrilled. Having worked with Robert on four films previously, I knew that if anyone could do justice to a remake such as this, it would be Robert. Learning that Nimrod Antal was going to be the director, I was doubly thrilled and knew I had to be a part of this one.

He recorded many custom sounds and instruments, including Tibetan long horns to create squeals and screams and also manipulating metal scrapes and ethnic percussion to highlight the advanced yet brutal primitive quality of the Predators and their world. Debney also put up a sneak-peek of one of the Predators scoring sessions.[39] La-La Land Records will release the original score for the film on July 20.[40] The song "Long Tall Sally" by Little Richard plays during the credits; it was also used in the original Predator film.

Release

Marketing

It was announced on March 3, 2010, that Robert Rodriguez and Nimród Antal would reveal a "first look" at Predators at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas on March 12, at 10:15pm.[41] Rodriguez expressed his excitement about the event, saying, “My director Nimród Antal and I are excited to bring this first look at Predators to Austin’s SXSW Film Festival, an event that’s become vital to the filmmaking scene. Austin is my home and I’m proud that Predators was conceived and filmed here.”[42]

Box office

Released on July 9, 2010, in the United States, Predators opened strong with $10 million on Friday. The film came in number three at the box office opening and pulled in $24 million during its first weekend. As of July 16, 2010, the film has grossed $33,284,041 in the United States and $25,743,669 internationally, generating $59,027,710 worldwide.[3]

Critical reception

Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 64% based on 149 reviews, with an average score of 5.8/10. The site's critical consensus is: "After a string of subpar sequels, this bloody, action-packed reboot takes the Predator franchise back to its testosterone-fueled roots."[43] Another review aggregation website Metacritic gave the film a score of 51% indicating mixed reviews, based on 30 reviews from selected mainstream critics.[44]

Many critics hail Predators for doing away with the trends set by the poorly received Alien vs. Predator and its sequel, some even praising Adrien Brody's performance and for getting back to the simpler plot established by the original Predator movie.[citation needed] The primary complaint leveled against the film is the failure, as film critic Roger Ebert described, of the cast to capture the "quiet suspense" of the original Predator film.[45]

Merchandise

Comic

A four issue tie-in Predators comic book by Dark Horse Comics was released on June 9 to promote the release of the film. The comic series will serve as a prequel, adaptation and sequel to the events depicted in the film. The comics show more back story on the characters Royce and Isabelle than what is depicted in the film.[46] One such comic follows a team of Navy SEALs in the midst of a firefight when suddenly they awaken to find themselves in a new and more deadly environment being stalked by a strange enemy. One by one these special-ops officers are killed by the unseen threat, until only one man remains.[47]

Other

  • Novel: A novelization based on the film was released, written by Paul Tobin.
  • Toys: On July 9 2010, NECA released the Classic Predator, Falconer Predator, and Berzerker Predator action figures.[48] They still haven't been fully released, although NECA plans to release them sometime in July. Hot Toys and Sideshow Collectibles have also created props, maquettes and figures for the film.[49] [50]
  • Video game: Downloadable games publisher Chillingo has secured a licensing agreement with Fox Digital Entertainment to publish the official Predators video game for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad through Apple's App Store. The game was developed by independent game developer Angry Mob Games and was available in time for the film’s theatrical release.[51]

Sequel

Nimrod Antal has talked about a sequel and said he would love to do one. In fact, he and Robert Rodriguez have already talked about a potential sequel.[citation needed] Rodriguez has expressed that he has interest in a sequel because of the large number of potential ideas the Predator planet setting provides:

There are so many great ideas... Just following Laurence Fishburne's character (Noland) around in a prequel would be a great movie. Just the tales he tells in this movie alone, I want to see those experiences... That's why I wasn't precious even about the original script I had, because once you come up with the idea of a Predator Planet, that Predators use as their hunting grounds and humans are involved somehow, the story ideas that you can come up with are so numerous that you can come up with any approach. So we already have several ideas that we can go with for a sequel. They would all be good ideas but we would probably put them together to see which one rises to the top, if we made another one.[52]
