You’ve got to hand it to Robert Rodriguez and director Nimrod Antal for this latest, decidedly red-band trailer for Predators: they make the movie look like a blast.
Briefly reiterating the movie’s premise (the dreadlocked hunters swipe a sampling of Earth’s most dangerous killers, transport them to a game planet and then hunt them down one by one for sport), this latest promo goes straight for the gore (and the first sequence is a spoiler, so beware if you were in any way concerned about not knowing what happens in the film. Hint: people die).
Offering up the likes of Adrien Brody, Danny Trejo, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, Laurence Fishburne and Topher Grace, the ante is well and truly upped with the inclusion of Predator dogs and new variants on the usual creatures.
Now the full film just has to live up to this tease. Take a look at the footage and tell us if your appetite has been whetted even further.
Predators stalks into cinemas on July 8, and you can get a proper look at the film, including on-set access, in the latest issue of Empire.
