\u201cHe starts out with a number of really cool gadgets. I\u2019ve always felt like there\u2019s a link between the Predator franchise and James Bond. Part of what we enjoy about going to see it is like, what kind of gizmos does he have? And I\u2019ve been stuck in the past with my entries into the franchise, with Prey set in the 1700s and Killer of Killers set in multiple different decades. But all in the past, so I\u2019ve always had to think, what would his weaponry be if it was a little bit more pre what we\u2019re used to seeing?<\/p>\n
\u201cNow I\u2019m well into the future. So he\u2019s got laser bows, has an awesome laser sword that has multiple modes. His sword that he uses, he holds like a classic knight or samurai would, but then it switches it into a different mode and he can use it almost like a glaive.\u201d<\/p>\n
We recently got confirmation that Badlands will be the first film in the Predator franchise – not counting 2004’s AvP crossover – not to have an R-rating. While speaking to IGN<\/a>, producer Ben Rosenblatt explained why he thinks fans will be on board with the family-friendly rating, while promising that Badlands will still be very violent.<\/p>\n It seems the studio was able to bring the movie in with a\u00a0PG-13 rating because it\u00a0won’t feature any humans on the receiving end of the carnage.<\/p>\n \u201cWe’ll see where it ends up, but our hope for it is that it can be a PG-13 that feels like an R,\u201d Rosenblatt said. \u201cThat’s kind of our hope. And really, what that’s about is just being able to broaden out the audience for a movie like this.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe don’t have any humans in the movie and so we don’t have any human red blood,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo we’re hoping that’s gonna play to our advantage. We’re going to go as hard as we possibly can within those constraints, and we think we’ll be able to do some pretty awesomely gruesome stuff. But in colours other than red.\u201d<\/p>\n We know that Dek will lay waste to multiple alien creatures, and the only humanoid characters are Weyland-Yutani synths.<\/p>\n Check out the clip at the link below, along with a new international poster.<\/p>\n
