Interview with Predator Super fan Ludvig Van Sandoval.

I was lucky to come buy a very nice and honest to god big time Predator fan Ludvig Van Sandoval  who took time out of his busy day to explain his predator Fandom. 


Martin: What made you a Predator Fan?

Ludvig: Well I'm I fan since I first watched the film, I was like 6 years old. Then at age 8 I saw predator 2.I started playing the videogames, predator nes, predator 2 Sega genesis. Avp snes, and avp arcade from capcom

Martin: Whos your favorite character in the franchise and why?

Ludvig: City Hunter. Because of his look, it was different than jungle hunter, his speed, his aggressiveness, I mean it just jumped into the action and started fight in close quarters combat, that was so badass.

Martin: what would you like to see in the next Predator movie?

Ludvig: More about the predator culture, like following the steps of a young yautja till he becomes blooded, that would be great for me

Martin: What Predator Merchandise do you own?

Ludvig: Oh, like 18 neca figures, 1 1|4 th scale jungle hunter (the led one) 7 hot toys, and comic books

Interview with Predator Super fan Jessica Taylor

I taking some time to chat with the awesome Jessica Taylor....a super Predator fan. She knows her stuff.

Martin: Which of the Predator franchise was your favorite and why?

Jessica: Fave in franchise....believe it or not, avp. Because it was the one that came closest to letting us understand yautja culture. And although the movie didn't go into detail enough, u got to see a little of how the yautja do their right of passage. Ah....city hunter of course, he's very visually appealing

Martin: Who's your favorite character from the movies.

Jessica: City hunter.Because he was more present during the movie. More screen time, more personality, he used the human language, like he understood it, not mimicking like the jungle hunter. And his look was different, his coloring as well as his face was different. He is actually beautiful design to me. His bio mask was amazing!!!! His armour was beyond beautiful. He had more weapons, and has more of a challenge during his hunt I believe.

Martin: What do you wanna see in the next predator movie.

Jessica: Yautja culture, where they live. I want to see just a little of how they live. I also would live to see yautja children and babies, as well as a female yautja. The female yautja is said to be larger and their society is matriarchal and I also want to see the yautja live in the next film. It's completely unbelievable that any human could best a yautja

Check out some of Jessica collection.

Shane Black reboots Predator!

So Shane Black who played Hawkins in Predator has stated that he will direct a Predator Reboot. My question is why. Predators was awesome...not prefect but fresh and exciting enough to lend intrest to a new generation. Granted Black was an awesome director for Lethal Weapon in the hay day of 80's action.
My other issue is Fredd Dekker. Dont get me wrong Dekker done some wicked comedy Horror in both The Monster Squad and Night of the Creeps but look at Robocop 3. Would it really be wise for him to write another sci-fi action movie?

Its still early day but I dont think Black should completely reboot the franchise. Do a follow up sure but lets not throw the baby out with the bath water folks.
