The predator ship crashing looks like some bad CGI not sure why they keep showing it in all the trailers.

So this movie got C-lister Olivia Munn, hybrid ultra Predator, female Predator, preda-dogs, aerial dogfight with preda-ships. What could go wrong?

Funny thing is on that list the worst thing said was Olivia munn

Just watched the trailer, out of all the things that annoyed me the thing that annoyed me most was that olivia munn scene. Everyone is in hazmat suits in a quarantine room but no one has on masks. On top of that son is chewing gum with his mouth open. Movie is gonna be a solid 1.3/8

'The Predator' gets last-minute edit, after Olivia Munn discovers a registered sex offender in the film

When The Predator opens on Sept. 14, it will be a tad shorter than planned, due to the last-minute deletion of a scene featuring an actor who’s a registered sex offender.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the film’s director, Shane Black, cast his longtime friend Steve Wilder (real name: Steven Wilder Striegel), in a bit role working opposite one of its stars, Olivia Munn, in the sci-fi reboot. However, Munn — a fixture in the Me Too movement — learned in August, long after the film wrapped, that Wilder is a registered sex offender who pleaded guilty in 2010 to two felonies: risk of injury to a child and enticing a minor by computer. Wilder was 38 at the time when he engaged in an online relationship with a 14-year-old female victim, and he served six months in jail.

Munn, who came forward last year to accuse disgraced director Brett Ratner of sexual misconduct, told 20th Century Fox execs about Wilder’s history, and the studio brass decided to delete him from the movie at the last minute. She told the Times she found it “both surprising and unsettling that Shane Black, our director, did not share this information to the cast, crew, or Fox Studios prior to, during, or after production.” However she said she was “relieved” that when Fox was alerted, they “took appropriate action by deleting the scene.”

“Our studio was not aware of Mr. Striegel’s background when he was hired. We were not aware of his background during the casting process due to legal limitations that impede studios from running background checks on actors,” the studio said in a statement. (Either way, California laws don’t restrict the employment of sex offenders, nor do employer have to disclose that they employ a sex offender.)

Black, however, did know. He has been friends with Wilder — an actor on Days of Our Lives, Melrose Place, and, more recently, Iron Man 3 — since 2004, five years before the actor’s arrest. Black had worked with Wilder in three films and defended casting him in Predator (as a jogger who repeatedly hits on Munn’s character), telling the Times, “I personally chose to help a friend. I can understand others might disapprove, as his conviction was on a sensitive charge and not to be taken lightly.” However, he thought Wilder was “caught up in a bad situation versus something lecherous.”

Wilder also spoke to the newspaper, saying, “I’ve known Shane Black 14 years, well before this incident, and I think it’s worth noting that he was aware of the facts. Shane can speak for himself, but I’m quite certain that if he felt I was a danger in any way to have around, he would not have.”

He also spoke about the girl with whom he had the illegal relationship, saying she was a “distant relative” with problems and that he talked to her to boost her self-esteem. However, the Times obtained Wilder’s 2009 arrest warrant affidavit in which the girl claimed they had had physical contact, including “kissing,” “touching” her “breast over her clothing,” “rubbing her legs, “and “stroking her neck” on several occasions. In one email, he told her there was no one in the world he would rather have sex with. “I will be VERY honest: There’s no question that it’s you. None. Hope that doesn’t totally freak you out, and just because it’s what I want, and what you want, doesn’t mean it’s the right thing,” the message read.

“The only thing I was ever charged with were words in an email,” Wilder told the Times, before calling the incident “an enormously unfortunate chapter in my life, and one that I took, and continue to take, personal responsibility for.” He added that he feels bad about the bad press that Predator is sure to get from this.

As the star of the film, Munn is standing by her decision to go to the top. On Thursday, as this all unfolded, she posted a quote to social media that read, “Wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it. Right is right, even if no one is doing it.”

What was Shane Black thinking?

 

[shogun]

Wow. Director is an idiot.

 

[130122]

this whole movie and even the cast are a fail. You got Key and Peele dude, 20 foot tall predators, olivia munn who has the acting acumen of a rock, predadogs, and an actual human predator.

"20th Century Fox has cut a scene from The Predator featuring actor Steven Wilder Striegel following revelations that Striegel is a registered sex offender.

Striegel, who was cast in the sci-fi horror film by his longtime friend Shane Black, shared a three-page scene with star Olivia Munn in which he repeatedly hit on her character while jogging in a park. Black had not disclosed Striegel’s sex offender status when he cast him in the film."

We’re still going to watch it though.

Black claimed that he wasn't aware of the extent of his friend's crimes, and has now elaborated with a follow-up statement:

“Having read this morning’s news reports, it has sadly become clear to me that I was misled by a friend I really wanted to believe was telling me the truth when he described the circumstances of his conviction. I believe strongly in giving people second chances - but sometimes you discover that chance is not as warranted as you may have hoped.

After learning more about the affidavit, transcripts and additional details surrounding Steve Striegel’s sentence, I am deeply disappointed in myself. I apologize to all of those, past and present, I’ve let down by having Steve around them without giving them a voice in the decision.”

 

[vood99]

Olivia Munn not only has the acting ability of a rock but also dumber than a box of them. If the homie didn't actually do anything to her during that scene, why not be quiet until the movie's been out for at least a month then have them scrap that scene for the Netflix/DVD/Bluray? This is the type of publicity that a movie as buns as this doesn't need.

 

[shogun]

She’s trying to protect herself saying she had no idea. Because if that info came out anyway she’d be asked about it.

 

[vood99]

shogun Dude's literally an extra based on that script involving his scene. Guessing that he hassles her while jogging and she kicks his *** foreshadowing how she's gonna kick the Predator's ***.

 

[KingParappa]

I also think she might have been sexually assaulted before.

 

[rfx45]

yup by Brett Ratner

Maybe he’s just a method actor?

"That's not a predator, that's a sport hunter."

"Well, we took a vote. Predator is cooler. f yea!"


do they think this is the coolest sh*t or funniest joker ever?

why the hell did they choose this clip to showcase the film that they show it every other damn commercial?

 

[vegetaray123]

Looking bad...$4 tickets from T-Mobile Tuesday has me seeing it Friday though ...

I’ll watch 1 - 2 before hand so I can get my laugh track ready for showtime...

[vegetaray123]

Also at Munn out here actively trying to completely destroy this movie...She’s throwing the male cast under the bus and directly taking it to Shane Black...

Terrible call by Shane in putting that fool in the movie but the studio did the right thing by pulling the scene...

Damn if she hasn’t completely lost it at this point I’m not sure how much further she can go...Maybe full on Britney Spears with the head shaving thing, I don’t know...I knew she was off when I read what she put in her book about Ratner a few years back but she’s set out to torpedo this thing because of a few seconds of footage...
