    Some interesting casting choices and Rodriguez on occasion has shown ( if he doesn't fall in love with the CG) that he can deliver a mean action scene.
    My only worries are that it is set on an entirely different planet which sort of negates a lot of the original's appeal and that Topher Grace hasn't been cast in the obvious Paul Reiser Aliens role.

    Here's a bit more of the plot

    "Five elite warriors from a variety of backgrounds wake up in a strange locale. They learn that each was a member of an elite killing force. Black ops, Yakuza, Special Forces, etc. Quickly they realize, they're not on Earth anymore. You get the feeling something could be hunting them.
    They meet a character has been living on this planet for a while. He is wearing various 'gear' that is of alien origin. Like the Predators he is able to cloak himself . He'll tell them that they smell wrong, that they're too loud. He'll tell them that "THEY" will find them fast"

    Well it probably doesn't take a lot to imagine what happens after that.
    Respect my lack of authority.

    Anyone know what it will be rated? Predator movies NEED to be Rated R, or they are kinda lame. That's what ruined AVP.

    If this is made for adults, it will be good; if it is for the kids, it'll be lame...

    Explain Predator 2 then,but to answer your question

    from imdb

    Rated R for strong graphic violence and language.
    Violence & Gore
    Graphic R Rated Sci-Fi violence is expected

    and

    During the Repo Men junket Predators star Alice Braga had a lot to say about the upcoming Nimrod Antal film Predators produced by Robert Rodriguez, and our man Nomad was on the scene to bring you a taste.

    In terms of the film's rating Braga, who plays a sniper with the heaviest gun on the set, says that it would be really hard for Predators to get the much feared amongst the fanbase PG13 rating because "the film is so dark".

    The R rating does not guarantee a good movie by any means, but Predator (and Alien) movies are rooted in violence, and gore at their core. To soften that, is to weaken the central draw.

    As for P2...I would say the concept of inner-city gangs was good. However, the casting was was way off. Glover was a poor choice. Busey is terrible in everything. And Paxton (only marginally memorable) is a good enough actor, just did not belong in that movie.

    Look at the first Predator- the "weakest" character was Carl Weathers.

    Why didn't you just say you were racist in the first place?

    PS Carl Weathers may well be "a character " but he wasn't one in Predator.
    PPS I don't totally disagree on Dillon being the worst character ( if that's what you meant) but other than the Predator, Blain ( Jesse Ventura ) and the hot chick in the tank-top ( or maybe just the tank-top) it's pretty much a dead heat between everyone else.
    PPPS the best Alien movie was the second one and it had the least graphic violence or there.

    I have some more comments on what works and what doesn't work in Alien/Predator movies but I've run out of Ps.
