PREDAWG & THE DOGGY SQUAD OF LORE

Some new footage of the upcoming Rodriguez-produced PREDATORS has been released/leaked. Apparently there's going to be a "new breed" of Predator that's even MORE ferocious than the original... and er, more ferocious than the AVP versions which were "more ferocious than the original"... this one has really long sharp tusks! Why do people feel the need to constantly change the Predator (and Alien) design? Anyway, you can click HERE to see more pics from the movie, and HERE for a video clip.
*thanks, Chris, Hendell & Melchy!

But let's move on to my favorite - yes, there is going to be a PREDATOR DOG... because that's what the Predator Mythos needs (in addition to longer tusks of course).

Hey Jim,

Actually, the long tusks you see in the second pic (with the Pred holding the guy) are part of the mask, not a physical part of the Pred. Just thought I'd clear that up. We haven't seen the new Pred's faces yet. That first pic is just concept art.

I hope you're right. But the concept art and an interview (can't find it, gah!) has me believe this new predator has really long tusks.

The predator dog is very similar to the big dog of the french film "Le Pacte des loups" aka Brotherhood of the wolf (http://www.quellehistoire.com/images/gevaudan10.jpg)

Didn't the "Tremors" series of movies finally come out with some kind of half dog/half Tremor thing too?

I demand this issue be raised and looked into, otherwise I call for a vote of NO CONFIDENCE!

Brotherhood of the Wolf... sweet.

Timewaster, is this what you're recalling?:

The link didn't work for me. But I'll assume that it was what I referred to and say yes.

Jim said...

it doesn't matter, this movie, and plot look ridiculous. No desire to see it what so ever.
- and, quck question,...why can't anyone come up with an original concept for once. Why is everything a design based off another design based off a reference, based off another reference, conceived by someone with no imagination?
