Predator Reboot Confirmed!
Predators News | Posted by Corporal Hicks on 23 Apr 2009 00:00 GMT

You’ll all remember that reboot of Predator that we posted about and then Fox debunked? Well apparently that isn’t the case and it is on (which we also reported following the second report about Cena’s interest and a tip-off we got from a source). Well anyway, IESB is reporting it is apparently confirmed:

“In a news conference today at Troublemaker Studios, several Texas state politicians were in attendance to sign HB 873, the long-awaited reform of the Texas film incentive program. Rodriguez talked to the audience of press members and revealed his upcoming film slate.”

I am, once again, awaiting “confirmation” from Fox. I can’t say I’m overjoyed about this given his original Predators (Predator 3 pitch). You can read the whole article here. Thanks to Pierce for the tip. Keep watching this space for further developments.

EDIT: Okay boys and girls! Brace yourself! This is true! Confirmed by Fox mere seconds ago. This reboot is on the way. I’m expecting some sort of press release soon so keep checking back.

Was hoping for this to be a joke, now it seems it's not….hell.


Lord-Naraku | 24 Apr 2009 12:30

Well this franchise is officially dead… nothing can save it now.


Cellien | 24 Apr 2009 12:32

I hate Rodriguez movies. If Fox is looking for fan feedback, MAKE SURE TO READ THE SHIT STORM THATS GONNA HIT HERE!


Lord-Naraku | 24 Apr 2009 12:39

Agreed


DoomRulz | 24 Apr 2009 12:43

PredatorS? Can you say "Bad Blood"?


ShadowPred | 24 Apr 2009 13:28

FOX confirmed it? Kill me now. :sad:


Pvt. Hicks | 24 Apr 2009 13:29

Yeah, the "Fox" part is what worries me, BUT what is the deal exactly with his Troublemaker Studios? So they have control, but Fox distributes it?


ShadowPred | 24 Apr 2009 13:32

If that's hwo it's going to work, then COUNT ME THE FUCK IN!


RidgeTop | 24 Apr 2009 13:34

People here seem pretty upset, are you forgetting this guy did Sin City, Grindhouse, and From Dusk til Dawn? Rodriguez has real experience as a director.


XxSaNdMaNxX | 24 Apr 2009 13:34

WELLLLLLLLL this is kinda scary…. and im not on the director as we all well know robert R. has made very good movies aside from that horror fest called spy kids………but what worries me here is FOX oh boy the CHEAPEST film company re-booting the series i dunno what to think BUT iam alil bit excited…


Pvt.Torque Reikan | 24 Apr 2009 13:36

THE DULL NEWSLESS DAYS ARE OVER LETS REJOICE WELCOME BACK AVP!!!!


ShadowPred | 24 Apr 2009 13:38

Yes, Robert has done no wrong….I just don't want a remake, if it's a sequel…then shit, I'm fucking for it.


DB | 24 Apr 2009 13:45

A remake of the first? Nooo… A sequel is fine, though.


The Wolf | 24 Apr 2009 13:47

The Predator fan in me has killed himself today after reading this article. Especially with the name Cena mentioned in this. Predator is a brilliant classic and doesn't need a fucking remake like every thing else is these days. I can't put together any thoughts on this anymore. Fox is giving us all a huge "fuck you" and stealing our money.


This Old Hive | 24 Apr 2009 13:51

I don't see the point in whining about it. In fact I'd like to see what the predator remake will be like although I'll only see it for the predator.


The Wolf | 24 Apr 2009 13:54

The point in whining comes from the fact that they gave up on the original series which we all (safe to say) wanted to see a sequel rather than a remake. Its like taking a huge dump on the original when we could of had a sequel.


Quality Predator vs the greedy pricks at Fox | 24 Apr 2009 14:07

Get Stan Winston's team to do the Predators and not ADI.


Sulaco | 24 Apr 2009 14:11

Now days I like to see a different take I like how everything in these sagas have a different director. I like Roddy!!!


Sulaco | 24 Apr 2009 14:16

joblow.com says Roddy's makin machete too! I loved that trailer.


Cetanu | 24 Apr 2009 14:16

Sweet mother of gawd DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! FTGDMFW. Well, in about one day we've gotten awesome AvP3 news, and some sickening, heart-wrenching P3 news. Nothing can make the day worse. No remake! NO!


Eidotemit | 24 Apr 2009 14:20

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck


TarheelPredator | 24 Apr 2009 14:24

I'm cautiously optimistic about this. The guy has some good movies under his belt….and if the "s" in the title ("Predators") is any indication, the storyline might be interesting. As long as it's not a remake or another lone predator hunting isolated humans movie.


Xhan | 24 Apr 2009 14:27

sigh.


TarheelPredator | 24 Apr 2009 14:47

actually having read that Robert Rodriguez had planned on making an Predator 3 set on a 17th century ship I withdraw my earlier statement expressing optimism and now profess that I am very very afraid.


Private W Hudson | 24 Apr 2009 14:50

Oh dear god if cena is in this movie its shit already and why a remake seriously thats fucked up


Xenomorphine | 24 Apr 2009 15:09

I seriously hope that this is NOT his similarly-titled 'Predator 3' concept (and I'm not talking about the pirate ship one, either). Even if Stan winston returned from the grave to do the special effects for it, the story was horrid.


Simbaca | 24 Apr 2009 15:10

WHY!!!! :cry: At least don't remake the Alien franchise. No more movies please. :huh:


Axlotl | 24 Apr 2009 16:19

reboot does not equal remake. batman begins was a reboot, but not a remake.


Axlotl | 24 Apr 2009 16:28

gonna throw out a vote for ripley 8 vs predators. why not.


Mr. Stizout | 24 Apr 2009 16:30

Better be a Predator 3 Sequel not a Predator Remake!


Sara | 24 Apr 2009 17:01

I am going to be physically sick. @Stizout: Fully agree. I hope this is all just a matter of misscommunication with incorrect wording.


Spaghetti | 24 Apr 2009 18:22

i want to scream, but i can only laugh like a fool. because I know aline is next. now I must cry. oh god.


revility | 24 Apr 2009 18:54

atleast they got a decent director behind it. Which is much more than we got with the last 2 films. Though I don't really understand why it has to be a reboot unless their washing away all the predator lore from the avp films. The predator movies and concept were pretty stand alone and no connection to the other films has to be even made. I just prey its not a remake, and they don't redesign the predators because somebody wants to put their dick stamp on it


dachande89 | 24 Apr 2009 19:17

Why remake what has already been a success? I don't care if its a reboot or a remake, what it should be is a sequel! There are so many Predator ideas floating out on the net alone, so why redo a concept?


The Ultimate Predator | 24 Apr 2009 20:11

Excellent, a fresh original take from one of my favourite directors. I am very pumped about this.


shinigami | 24 Apr 2009 21:32

Damn! This sucks big time. I dont want no remake but a sequel or something. :cry:


rexemmen | 24 Apr 2009 22:30

:cry: If I read the article well there talking about a reboot not a remake right????? If it is a remake I'm going to start a boycot here in holland!!!! And I'm in advertising so that shoudn't be hard. Anyway does anybody know the southpark episode where they rape indiana? well I think that a new episode of that with preddie is on the way!!! Shit man I'm really pissed those assholes at fox don't get it at all.


DazAvP85 | 24 Apr 2009 22:45

Well I really hope this is not a "remake" of the 1st film. I don't mind if this is a restart for the franchise, as long as it could still be considered a sequal to the originals…. ie, doesn't trample over canon by starting again.


Awgustas | 24 Apr 2009 23:05

When this is gonna be out? In a year or something?


Dr.PaulChurch | 24 Apr 2009 23:07

I agree 100%, Daz. If it's a story on its own that doesn't try to retell the original two films or use different actors to portray the characters, this could be a blessing with potential for a really well-done, gritty, new story. All I can say is, if this is a remake of the original, then it is a dark day for science-fiction, and a real shame and disrespect to the late, great, Stan Winston. I hope they have the decency not to tarnish the original masterpiece with this. To me, it's like repainting the sistine chapel to "update it." Worst of all, if this does well, you know they will remake Alien or Aliens too. "At Fox, no one can hear fans scream."


loli | 24 Apr 2009 23:13

The link called it a Reboot ala Star Trek not a Remake ,but Galaxy called it Remake for some reason . :huh:


AFAN | 24 Apr 2009 23:33

From I've read from the forums and coments all over the net in the AVP community, this re-boot/remake announcement is gradually transforming from a mixed bag of opinions to an enthusiastic possibility. My questions is: Haven't we learned anythng from the AVP movies? Clearly FOX does not respect the significance of these two Monsters to the sci-fi movie genre. Instead, to them is a mear dying product ready to be used to squeeze a quick buck from true fans like we. My position regarding this annoucement, contrasting with the previous about AVP, is of concern. Predator lends it itelf to incredible movie iterations, but the fact that an unimaginative reboot od the original one to me says that FOX is once again playing it safe and by the NUMBERS! Predator 3, with horror and tru filmaking art!


Mustafuck | 24 Apr 2009 23:35

and what about Schwarzenegger now?, he was very important to the film too, not just the predator. Also, the original predator looked way better than those ones from avp.


Mr. Weyland | 24 Apr 2009 23:53

Why do we need a reboot, there was nothing wrong with the 1st PREDATOR movie, damn, I hate Hollywood, if its a kind of sequel or something I wouldn't mind, but remakes are the laziest form of movies these days.


SHREK | 25 Apr 2009 01:17

why remake it?? an old saying springs to mind….if its not broken, Dont fix it


dallas121 | 25 Apr 2009 01:26

:amuse: Good news! Predator back on big screen! Hope good plot, multiple predators, good fight, and space crafts!


skull-splitter | 25 Apr 2009 02:37

re-boot = [i][b]NOT[/i][/b] a re-make, people… Get it straight…


xenovin | 25 Apr 2009 02:42

predator 3 if it's a sequel yes remake hell no anyone thinking predator with a guitar case full of guns ha ha only kidding .give the guy a chance surely he can't make things any worse in the alien predator film universe can he?.anyway fox have a habit of cocking up so i guess we will have to wait,where the hell is alien 5? :wink:


CacoDemonBrasil | 25 Apr 2009 03:38

Spoon | 25 Apr 2009 04:18
