New Predator Reboot Plot Details Tease The Comanche Warriors
For the most part, the entirety of the
Predator franchise has followed the same template, albeit with a few minor deviations. John McTiernan’s classic original, Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal’s sorely underrated
Predators and Shane Black’s most recent effort
The Predator all saw a ragtag bunch of military personnel thrown together in an attempt to defeat the monstrous trophy hunter that’s been taking them out one by one, with plenty of the action set against a forest backdrop.
Predator 2 tried to put a fresh spin on the formula by relocating to the concrete jungle of Los Angeles, but by the third act it had resorted to the standard chase movie that culminated in a showdown between man and alien.

Lee Isaac Chung‘s critical darling “Minari” earned a 2021 foreign-language Golden Globe nomination Wednesday morning, yet emerged one of the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. s most glaring snubs as an acclaimed picture made by and about Asian Americans was shut out from top prize contention by rules for films not in the English language for the second year in a row.
The omission of “Minari” from any nominations other than foreign-language reignited criticism of the HFPA’s classification rules, sparking a recurring outcry on social media: “‘Minari’ is an American film.”
The family drama, which won the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury and Audience prizes last year, stars Steven Yeun and Yeri Han in the poignant tale of Korean American immigrants who move to a rural Arkansas farm in the 1980s with their children (Alan S. Kim and Noel Cho) in pursuit of the American dream.
Minari, is an American movie. It was made in America and tells an American story based on Chung’s own childhood growing up the son of Korean immigrants in rural Arkansas. Its star, Steven Yeun, is an American. And yet, because the film is predominantly in Korean, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which administers the Golden Globes, has decided it is a foreign film. This is racist, insulting, and absurd.
The Golden Globes, most everyone knows, are not a terribly legitimate awards show. They are doled out by the Hollywood Foreign Press, an organization that no one really knows anything about, that puts on a big award-show party every year. They are a small group of foreign journalists that must live in Southern California and that’s about it. They aren’t necessarily an organization with integrity or a good track record when it comes to what they nominate in various categories.
