Predators Video Preview and Teaser Poster

An official teaser poster has been released for the Nimrod Antal reboot, Predators. The film is produced by Robert Rodriguez and has a cast led by Academy Award winner, Adrien Brody. While at SXSW, an exclusive 2 minute preview debuted of the film, and I have to admit, this movie looks a lot better than I thought it would. Check it out…

The plot of Predators centers on a reluctant mercenary named Royce, who leads a group of elite warriors who have been brought together on an alien planet… as prey. With the exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members human “predators” that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators. Doesn’t that sound awful?

The video preview is introduced by Rodriguez who explains that his vision is for Predators to be a stand alone entity. He doesn’t want it to feel like the fifth or sixth installment of a well established franchise. The creatures featured in the actual video look a lot more intimating than the one highlighted in the teaser poster. The only reason I’m not giving it too much flack is because it’s not the official theatrical version.

Here’s the poster and the video…

What do you think of the first look at Predators? How does the preview compare to the poster? How do you like the aliens?
