Aaron: So, on the topic of the Predators then, one of the controversial aspects of the early draft that leaked was how the Super Predators genetically manipulated themselves which in that draft resulted in things like changing their blood to be black. Now the genetic manipulation angle would ultimately not make it into the final film with the only real allusion to that being… I think it was Nolan’s line about the difference between dogs and wolves. So, we were curious as to where this was actually dropped? Was it something that actually made it into the shooting draft and was removed in the edit or was that something that you and Mike dropped while you were working on the various drafts and refining? Aaron:所以关于铁血战士的话题,电影早期泄露的草案中有争议的一个方面是超级铁血战士氏族是如何对自己进行DNA操纵改造的,这导致了他们的血液变成黑色。但现在DNA操纵改造的设定最终没有在电影中出现,唯一真正的影射是电影中角色诺兰的那一句“关于狗和狼之间区别”台词。我们很好奇这个设定在哪?这是进入了拍摄定稿但最终被删除的东西吗?还是你和Michael Finch构思制作各种草稿和完善时放弃的东西?
Alex: Well, it was always a part of it because the idea of like they’re bigger better killers, why are they hunting people. Just for sport or to make themselves better killers? So that idea early on we very much championed and I know that idea survived for a variety of drafts and I think it eventually got removed because there was just no manifestation of it. It’s not like he saw those guys injecting themselves with anything that made them become bigger and better. So, at some point it just ended up being dropped. I’m not sure when. The idea of an upgrade based on the genetics of the prey, that was one of the big ideas going on. Alex:嗯,这一直是电影其中的一部分,因为他们是更强壮更凶残的狩猎者,为什么要狩猎。只是为了运动娱乐还是为了让自己成为更出色的刽子手?这个想法在早期我们都非常支持,在各种草案中都得到了支持,但它最终被删除了,因为它没有表现出来。电影中并没有看到那些狩猎者们给自己注射任何东西,让他们变得更强壮,所以是被废除了,我不确定什么时候重启。但基于利用猎物的DNA进行升级强化自己的想法,是一个不错,非常好的重要想法
To us, we never thought it was like sub-species, we just thought it was different clans like ninja and samurai. So, you have a more of a traditionalist mentality, more warrior-like mentality with the original clan and more say practical or more anything goes mentality with the upgrades which is like “Look it’s all about power, it’s about making yourself more lethal, stronger, bigger, faster”. That’s what the other Predators are and what we wanted to bake into the franchise and again that was another idea of other clans out there and there’s a civil war somewhere in the background which our guys could become invested in. 对我们构思来说,我们从来没有想过超级铁血氏族是亚种,事实上我认为他们是不同的氏族,就像是忍者和武士的二者区别。因为假如你是一位铁血部落的一位战士之前有追寻狩猎传统的心态,但是随着时间的流逝,你步入了歧途或者更务实又或者产生了一种随心所欲的态度,就像“这一切都是关于力量渴望,你看,这样做会让自己更加强壮,更加凶残,更加致命”。因为这种不择任何手段让自己变强的想法,在铁血战士的世界中掀起了一场立场革命之间的部落战争。这是创作其他铁血战士的好点子,也是我们对扩展铁血战士部落氏族的想法,也是我们想在铁血战士这个作品系列中想加入的东西
