Speaker 1: Uh, we've got a lot of bad Lands news Predator
bad Lands.
Speaker 2: News later on me when you I'm assuming it was
you that put it in the note on the predator
bad Land connection.
Speaker 3: No, it is Travis, Okay.
Speaker 2: Like it was like, what even was the note Predator
is the villain of bad Lands or something. I thought
it was like a crossover property as as in the
bad Lands with something else, and we're getting some interesting
predator inclusion.
Speaker 1: But uh, it's from the predator's point of view.
Speaker 2: Ooh, that's interesting. That that tingles my my fancy a
little bit.
Speaker 4: Has that never been done before?
Speaker 3: Probably be the closest.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Like there's some sequences and kind of all
the predators have moments of like from the predator's view
right of them, like seeing their prey with the.
Speaker 4: More like a horror element.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so.
Speaker 2: But that's interesting. Bad Lands laid on me, Taylor, give
me some beats.
Speaker 5: Uh, that's all I got that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just because I mean, there was some other
information that I sourced where it looks like we're going
to be visiting like an alien world too for a
part of it, a part of the movie which is
very exciting.
Speaker 5: So I think that on top of visiting.
Speaker 4: Sorry by alien world like alien the.
Speaker 1: French, not alien like that, just another alien planet, which
is I think that's great.
Speaker 3: On my planet where my planet driver Adam.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think though.
Speaker 1: That you just dealing with a predator where it's basically
their Yeah, it's their their adventure, their journey, that they're
the main protagonists. That's just such a different concept, and
it's a brilliant idea on how to keep this franchise
fresh and going, especially because you had that success of Prey,
which Prey was piggybacking off of the the classic and
the the the general theme of Predator where you have
someone who is severely in over their head and they're
able to use their smarts and not just their muscles
or technology to overcome sophistically technologically more advanced, hyper intelligent
predator like creature. So I think that being the most
reoccurring thing with this franchise being able to turn it
on its feet. Now, just give us that kind of
like this this character, like, I don't know if we're
gonna have human characters in this show, in this movie.
I don't know what the deal is gonna be like
if it's actual just a predator's going Oh, there definitely
will be, but not in like a mainline sense. Like
if this movie starts off where we're following this predator
and building a relationship and a connection with this predator,
like on their first hunt on an alien planet, hunting
aliens we've never seen before, that's gonna be the coolest
thing ever. And then they're gonna like they're gonna beam
back up to their main Predator mothership, but we're gonna
see a bunch of predators, like and they're communicating and
talking and they're like, Oh, we're gonna send you to
Earth for a hunt. It's like, Oh, this is gonna
be so cool just getting this kind of like perspective
and just being able to explore the more the origin.
And like I said in the discord, like AVP two,
that was the only Predator movie that we've ever gotten
to see live action in the Predator whole world. And
so if we get to see a little bit more
of that kind of home world vibe, that's just going
to be great. There's so many blanks with this this
ip and this the species that could be filled by
doing a project on this type of esthetic and this
type of direction and narrative, and so it really has
me excited just to see and learn so much.
Speaker 5: More about their culture and how.
Speaker 1: They do things, because at its base and at its core,
the only thing I could really speak to with predators
is Okay, they won't kill you if you're armed.
Speaker 5: They won't kill you if you're a.
Speaker 1: Kid, I guess, but there's weird kind of convolusion convolusions.
It's a little convoluted on how they can kind of
operate while.
Speaker 4: They're How young do you have to be for them
to not kill you what?
Speaker 1: I don't know, because like even if you even being
a kid, if you were to pull a gun out,
I don't know, because you see in Predator two, you
have this kid in the graveyard with a toy gun
and he's like benda banga bang baby bang bang, and
the predator sees that and like locks it on the gun,
but doesn't kill the kid because the kid lowers a
toy guns.
Speaker 5: I don't know. I'm not exactly sure what they were
they would draw the.
Speaker 2: Line ev P one, you know he finds whalen heart
problems too old. Yeah, right, there's a middle area, a
little golden goldiewalk Zone for the best age to kill someone.
Speaker 4: Do we know if this one's going theatrical? Unlike Praise Okay.
Speaker 5: This one is.
Speaker 3: It was pretty theatrical because it was around COVID. I
can't remember them.
Speaker 1: No, this was them just trying to get their toes
wet in cheaper but franchise exactly, and because of its success.
I think that is one of the big kickers for
Why Alien Romulus, because that was going to be straight
to streaming as well. But then they were like, Okay,
we'll give it some more money. Pray did great, Let's
throw it on the big screen.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I do wonder.
Speaker 3: Did they re release Pray at all?
Speaker 1: Like, did they have they did a physical They did
a physical release, but they did not do never been
in theatrical.
Speaker 4: Interesting, Yeah, I guess I wonder them what the budget
of this movie is.
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 4: If we have that information, we probably When is it
coming out? Is it coming out next year? Taylor?
Speaker 5: Let me get a date.
Speaker 4: Is it done filming at this point? What's the status
of this film right now?
Speaker 5: Because they have.
Speaker 1: An official release date of November seventh, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2: Oh so it's it's kind of some work left to
be done. I would imagine.
Speaker 4: Maybe a reshoot three and then edited that baby up
and send her out the door. I guess, yeah, humans
in this movie, just based on what you're saying, it
to me seems like almost taking the wrong lessons of
why Pray was his success. And Pray was a different
kind of success because it wasn't a box office success.
It was just a streaming thing and reception was really good.
But I kind of feel like, and I'm not an
expert on Prey. We did the Alien retro and I
watch those AVP movies, but I'm not an expert on
these movies at all. I kind of what I really
loved about Pray is is that it was kind of
a pretty simple story with easy, kind of relatable characters,
and it seemed like a more simplistic thing. They weren't
going to over the top with it, of like sequel itis,
of just making mistakes and things bigger and grander and crazier.
And based on what you're pitching there, Taylor, like going
to different planets, going back to the alien home world,
having all these different predators communicating fan dangling each other,
It just sounds like that just sounds like budget. It
sounds like a really expensive movie, and I feel like, Okay,
if you're gonna put it on the big screen, yeah,
maybe give it a little more juice on the on
the money front. But also like you don't want this
to be you don't want to balloon the budget to
the point where you have to make it be a
huge success at the box office for it to get
its return, right, And I don't know, I kind of
I kind of hope it is more on the scale
or vibe of what Prey was, But just like I
don't think you need to make make any changes of
that movie and released on the big screen. I think
it was perfectly cinematic and bombastic enough and enough of
like a kind of a blockbuster type thing. So I
don't know, we'll see. I guess I maybe am worried
for them if they go to Ham with this. In
terms of some of those pitches you had, it just
seems like maybe taking the wrong lesson like that just
sounds very avp to me, and like v was not
a success at the we have the numbers for that, right,
not a success. So I don't know, we'll see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just getting to kind of what you were talking
about Taylor with like the setup of I guess the
idea what the movie is it?
Speaker 3: Actually, you reminded me too.
Speaker 2: I actually just recently watched Predators, which is pretty similar
to kind of what you're pitching, where like right, like,
the Predators are on.
Speaker 3: An alien planet.
Speaker 2: The only difference is it's not from the Predator point
of view, so it would seem like this would kind
of be.
Speaker 3: From the Predator point of view.
Speaker 2: I can't really see this not having humans in it,
even though I think I would prefer it actually not
having humans in there. I just feel especially since we
went through the retro you know, Avp's near and dear
to my heart, but in those like in the AVP movies,
I feel like the worst parts are around the humans
and those characters, and I would just be so much
more interested in focusing on the Predators and kind of
just that side of it, because I'm right there with you.
I feel like the most interesting stuff is kind of
their their traditions and and like what their their code
of conduct has to be, you know, the the Assassin's
creed of the Predators, because I'm sure they have their
own tenants and rules and whatnot to follow. So I
like what I'm hearing for sure, and I I agree
with Dylan and some of like the maybe potential I
don't even want to call them red flags, maybe gray
flags of of of of what maybe they're they're getting
away from what they learned, of like why Pray was
as a success. I feel like I wasn't really thinking
about it until you mentioned that they're Dylan, so definitely
something to you know, to be notefull of. But no,
I I like this pitch for sure, and I I'm
I don't know how humans would work in this situation,
but I still feel like there are going to be humans,
like ninety nine percent.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I met.
Speaker 2: Maybe they're just like someone crash lands on this planet
and that's kind of how they get thrown on the mix.
But I hope nonetheless, it is pretty minor, and uh yeah,
it is kind of with what you're pitching there, Taylor,
just from the Predator point of view.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like that idea.
Speaker 4: I struggling to picture how that works, but I think
that's kind of a good thing in a sense that
it's something different and fresh and new and that could
be really cool. I just, yeah, I don't know if
I need generic, boring humans, but maybe I do. Like
maybe I think I don't because I want to think
I'm cool and interesting, unique, but then maybe I'm in theater.
I'm like, I'm not feeling connected to this guy because
he doesn't speak.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, it's like Transformers, right.
Speaker 1: I think you have several Transformers movies where the Transformers
are having relationships with the humans and like the humans
are like that with the not sexual, really not sexual,
but they have these these friendships and the humans are
the main characters, and so I think that, But.
Speaker 4: Then movies are never from the Transformers point of view?
Speaker 5: Are they.
Speaker 1: Who?
Speaker 5: Who's who?
Speaker 1: Is the point of Shia definitely is like the main
characters in those movies, but you do get like I
feel like Optimist is like the main Transformer character, like
where you get his his perspective, and he's definitely like
the main that you're following after Shia.
Speaker 5: But that might be up to interpretation.
Speaker 1: So I feel like if people do pitch that idea
of that concept, like, hey, let's just have if you've
seen Bumblebee that first opening sequence on Cybertron, let's just
get a movie of that with no humans, just the
Transformers doing doing their stuff. They're they're battling and everything
like that. And I know we got that Prime movie,
that animated one which I've not seen yet, and i'd
like to because I heard good things like that one.
Speaker 5: That might be it. I can't remember what it was called.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's kind of like what I'm thinking, like
we would need but more like than a live action
CGI kind of style, just without the humans. But I
mean in the concept like for Predator, like do something
like that with Predator but with no humans. I'm okay
to do a Predator movie to avoid of humans. Maybe
at the end you have any strigg of like like, oh,
he's on his hunt now he's going to Earth and
we can all be all giddy like, oh Earth humans.
Speaker 4: Fuck. So yeah, I can't what is the what is
predator speech? Like they make grunts and things like that,
or can they speak English?
Speaker 5: It's like they can speak English.
Speaker 4: They can speak Oh yeah, fuck, you're gonna pull up.
Speaker 3: The Predator video laughing.
Speaker 4: And how do they do that? Is it like a
voice box situation? That is beyond imagine their lungs and
or their vocal chords. They're looking awfully different than a humans.
Speaker 2: They look pretty yeah, pretty abnormal. It's yeah, No, I
don't remember them speaking English at all. All I remember
is after the first Predator when you have the predator laughing.
It sounds very very interesting. See if I can find
see Taylor's he's finding there. It's interesting, like just the
topic of like having humans in these in these films,
and like, has there ever been a live.
Speaker 3: Action movie without like just regular.
Speaker 2: Humans in the movie, Like if it is just a
CGI character even though it is like in a live
action world, is that There's got to be something out there,
But like it's hard for me to really picture that,
Like if if they were going to do a project
that is not an animated project, but there's also not
like humans involved.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is this is it?
Speaker 5: Let me know if you can hear this? Can you
hear it?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: No, I don't know share my audio.
Speaker 4: Moral of the story. Though the Predator can speak English, Yes,
I definitely can. Is that what you want though, Taylor?
When you're talking how like the predators can talk to
each other? Like are you wanting like subtitle like gurgly
noises or because it wouldn't really make sense for them
to speak English back on their home base, right, you.
Speaker 1: Actually make a very good point, because I don't know
if I'll be able to find it in here. It's here,
so you have I have seen you have seen this one,
so right here, this is what you get. You get
Preder's talking to each other. That was horrible because it
didn't actually Shredley to English.
Speaker 5: That's all we get.
Speaker 4: You assume what they're saying to each other. But they're
not speaking English here right, just noises.
Speaker 5: No, They're they're talking like Preder language.
Speaker 2: You do the Avatar two thing where it starts off
with them speaking their their alien language, and then it
just like morphs into English just for the sake of
the film. You know, we we we we take it
as they're speaking their own language, but for the sake
of the film, we can understand them. I don't know
how they would do it, because they wouldn't do the
whole thing subtitled.
Speaker 5: It would work for me.
Speaker 3: No, that's not what they would.
Speaker 1: I don't know why that's that should be changed in English.
I don't know what they're doing here with that.
Speaker 3: But maybe you just you know, you self translated it
when you saw it the first.
Speaker 5: I knew exactly learned the language. It's I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 1: Big on the subtitles now these days, and so I
think that I think that would be more fitting because
when a predator is talking in their own language, they're
clicking and they're making crow sounds. I don't know if
you've heard like a crow like that.
Speaker 4: Those are two very different goodbye both okay in between
the two. Yeah, well there's no way though they're gonna, Okay,
Pray with success, let's go to the big screen with
not a single word spoken in English and just subtitles
the whole time. There's no way they do that.
Speaker 3: There's no way. There's absolutely no way.
Speaker 2: When they speak like the you know, the Predator version,
like they did that with Pray, right, they released the
two versions.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1: Like when thet when when the Predator does speak English,
it's much more like like you have Arnold, like what
the hell are you?
Speaker 5: And then the Preaderor's like ah you.
Speaker 4: Like okay, talking like the parakeet or something.
Speaker 5: Something like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like they repeat what people, They repeat what people
say okay, like like a baby, yeah, gotcha?
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The Preador too, there's a lot of that in the
second Preader movie, because like you have the kid I
was talking about the gun, and he's like, want some candy,
and then the mom calls the kid away.
Speaker 5: And so when the predator is dealing with.
Speaker 1: Our main like protagonist movie, the predator is like, want
some candy.
Speaker 4: Like any the predator won't kill someone if they have
a weapon earlier.
Speaker 1: He will, But it really depends on the situation. Like
there's you have this female cop chase and predator and
she's got a gun and the preader picks her up
and sees that she's pregnant.
Speaker 5: So the Preadtor's like, Okay, I'm gonna leave you.
Speaker 1: But then you have a VP where Whalen is like,
don't turn your back on me and fucking blast them
with fire, and the predator is just.
Speaker 5: The predators just like ices him with his blades. So
it's situational interesting stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, depends on the Klan.
Speaker 4: I'm struggling to understand this world of Predator.
Speaker 5: But maybe that's why we need this movie.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true from his perspective. Finally we can see
how he.
Speaker 5: Thinks anything else on the Predator topic.
Speaker 4: No, take me home.
Speaker 3: I hope it's a banger. I hope it's a banger.
Speaker 4: I hope it's not bad.
Speaker 1: Uh well, we're gonna take our last ad break before
we get into some trailer, so we'll be right back.
