I blame Lost. Ever since that show came along the badass Mexican style woman seems to be a staple. Always hated her character, even when i watched Lost.

Can't blame Lost for that stereotype though. It was established long beforehand. Hell Michelle Rodriguez has made a career out of playing that stereotype long before she was on Lost as well.

SWAT, Resident Evil, Bloodrayne, The Breed, and so on

Yeah, the original south american female hard nut was Jenette Goldstein.

Nope it is all Cameron's fault:

WTF? where did this come from?

Predator was just another random 80's action film. Without Arnie it would have been nothing. It was a vehicle for his unique screen presence, humour and style. What's the fuggin POINT in remaking it without him?

That might have been the initial idea but the Predator characters have gathered a huge fanbase worldwide on their own. That seems like the POINT to me, and the money I guess.

They should Merge Rambo and Predator

Does this apply to Terminator aswell then?!! Jesse Ventura was the real star of the first film:p and the second one without Arnie was class aswell.
Actually the Aliens vs Predator film would have worked with Arnie and Riply! If only!!:(

Predator vs the Cast of Lost would be a great final to the show!!

This is the downside to Chris Nolan's work on Batman, everyone now thinks they can do a reboot to the same success or generate money based on the hype of one.

Sorry I didn't realise I was talking to people with vastly different ideas about what makes a good film... off I go!

I don't think you can blame Nolan for Hollywood's dime a dozen remake/reboot of horror films these days, it's a case of pure lazyness. As for Spidey's reboot, from what I hear about their plans, it was a decision very much inspired by twilight.

I'm not blaming him, just when someone comes up with an "original" idea, the rest put the wheels into motion to milk it until everyone is sick of it. His genius is the template of lazy idiots which is annoying!

Wont be long before all sorts of ****e is hyped because it uses 3D technology and claim it to be the next avatar etc

Spidey's Reboot?

They are starting from scratch with Spider-Man, basing it on ultimate Spider-Man.

I havent heard anything about this but I wonder if joe public will be interested.

Versions upon versions is just going to turn people off imo.

What does Stan Lee make of it, I suppose he's enthusiastic because it makes him more money.

Whats the difference between the spider man we know and ultimate spiderman ?

Well there's not that much footage to make a total judgement, but I'm disappointed that they feel the need to include a mini-gun totting character in it: it's too far into the realm of fanoboyism for me.

Plus it's not as if the plot of this new movie isn't already a carbon copy of Predator 1, with the only addition being what seems to be a line-up of Hollywood stereotypes: Brody (possibly?) as the reluctant, world-weary & wrongly accused hero; Fishburne seems to be channeling his portentous, Morpheus schtick; we have a token Latino woman with an overly-large gun, a Yakuza with a samurai sword (with appropriate tattoos of course) and a Russian, who'll probably be drunk half the time. Ergh. All we need is a spunky pre-teen kid to round off the character list. Maybe throw in Vinny Jones as an English thug as well, just to round it all off :rolleyes:

But hey; sure it can't be any worse than the AvP movies, can it? Can it? :eek:

Ultimate Spider-man is an updated/dumbed down version of the normal line of comics.

Looks great so far. Fingers crossed we'll get a true sequel o Predator 2.

Doesn't look too bad, it will probably be better than predator 2 and those AvP abominations but not as good as the first.

Otis Driftwood

Jaysus Larry Fishbourne has turned into an awful fat bastard.

Is it it just me thats a bit worried by the very obvious similarities on view ie the gatling gun or the scene towards the end of the trailer where Brody is diving for cover is a near carbon copy of a scene in the original when Arnie has the final battle with the predator.

I know they say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery but for something thats supposed to be completly different from the original it doesnt seem all that different at all.Fair enough its a bare bones trailer but still.

what a load of ****e... A reboot, Predator was a great stand alone action movie, the only need to make this new version is soley a money making idea.. A spiderman reboot on the way, a superman reboot coming too, The A Team on its way, these so called hollywood script writers seem to have really lost there way, it seems they have run out of ideas, forwhat its worth (which is'nt much) the remake of planet of the apes has to be the worst remake or reboot of all time

It's actually more of a sequel to the first movie. The story revolves around the Predators taking humans to test their abilities after one of their own died at the hands of a human (Arnie). I think this looks great so far. I despised the AvP movies and I'm happy to see that the actual Predators don't look too different to the one in the first movie. Hell, in AvP they had steels armour all over their bodies. They looked bulky and ridiculous.

Apparently a known charcter is to return, since it's can't be Arnie (nobody could keep a lid on that) it's more than likely Danny Glover.

Remember the time when we thought AVP:R would be decent judging from the trailers?

If a film's got Arnie, it's guaranteed a viewing from me no matter how crap!

A known character is not returning... There was an alternate ending written that featured the return of a known character but A) It hasn't been shot and it was dreadfully written and totally unnecessary to the film....

The latest from AICN regard the character reveal. I've spoilered it though it doesn't say who the character is, it just describes the scene Harry saw:

They'll continue chatting for a bit, taking some questions, and if the audience is good, they'll play a scene. This scene isn't a creature scene. It is a character reveal. I'm not going to reveal who it is, but this character has been living on this planet for a while. He is wearing various 'gear' that is of alien origin. When the fx are finished, the character will decloak in front of Adrian Brody. He'll remove his helmet and will simply reveal his badassness to them. He'll tell them that they smell wrong, that they're too loud. He'll tell them that "THEY" will find them fast. And I wish I'd seen it a couple of times so I could have a better grasp of the dialogue. But this character's dialogue will incite cheers.
