Yesterday we shared an article in which the CEO of 20th Century Fox, Stacey Snider, spoke a little about the future of the Alien franchise. In the same interview with Variety, Stacey Snider also talked a little about The Predator and her thoughts on Shane Black and Fred Dekker’s script!
“We’ve got a “Predator” film coming out that is unexpected and utterly fresh. I just imagined that it would take 500 hours to read the script — that it would be interior jungle, exterior more jungle and then fighting happens, but Emma [Watts] went out and recruited Shane Black. From the first page, it didn’t read like a “Predator” film. It’s set in suburbia. There’s a little boy and his dad at the center of the action.”
Snider describes the film as being set in “suburbia” and this has been something that Shane Black has gone on record as saying is not the case. Through our own sources, Alien vs. Predator Galaxy can also confirm that while some of the film does take place in suburbia locations, the film as a whole certainly doesn’t all take place there. We’re in store for a nice variety of locations.

While we’re in that period of information drought before the marketing ramps up, many of The Predator’s cast have been dropping the occasional comment about how The Predator wasn’t simply a retread of the original Predator.
Keegan-Michael Key spoke about The Predator back in July, describing it as a “real privilege to do” and how fans who went in to see The Predator expecting a remake were in for “a very pleasant surprise.”

Can anyone tell us where to find Carriage Estates, it's somewhere in the suburbs...

Hmm ... "freshness" for true fans and the usual thing for the current viewer and which sells well.
Not the word I would use considering all the leaks we've read though.
JFC.
I don't know if that'd be a little too hammy. Then again, I guess it'd come down to the execution. I actually quite like characters having artificial limbs in some of the more action or horror orientated sci-fi but the arcade Dutch might be a bit over kill. lol
Thank you. Reading that, I wasn't sure if I was in a bad dream.
Infact wouldn't it be cool if he pulls this off

Love the internet
The last place any Predator fan should want to see a Predator is in "suburbia". Nor do I want a little kid in a Predator movie. However "fresh" that might seem to idiot studio execs. Take us to the f**king stars already.
Black thinks it took place further future in the timeline so they'll likely be no references.
I agree with you, except there is a reason why predators are coming to suburbia, which makes this situation "abnormal" regarding predators habits that we know, yes. But like i said, i usually agree on the suburbia not being a popular location among predators. But trust me, there is a SOLID reason why they go there...
No need, because you can see right now. You don't have to wait 10 months to know (factually) they're fighting dangerous people and not a bunch of mailmen or something.
Nor do you have to wait that long to point out which set photo inspires doubt about location but you're still expressing said doubt and boyishly concluding that nude scenes are all that's left to look forward to. How does that make sense?
Trust it blindly? If you're a fool. Whats so hard about taking it for what it's worth?
That's like saying John Wick centers on a man and his dog, Taken and Commando centered on a man and his daughter, and Inception was about a series of naps.
Yes they go to the same school and the Predator helps him win a talent show.
That is not all. Who do you think they are fighting in suburbia and which location set photo is your least favorite?
Without belaboring the point, I think predators belong in dangerous places hunting the best-armed, most dangerous opponents available. On the surface, Suburbia doesn't really cut it. That is all,
Bingo.
Why couldn't a suburbia setting work...
I think I'm just gonna sit here and trust Shane Black thanks. Guy could make a movie about two guys on a canoe interesting.
Noted.
Location pictures seem good anyways despite what people are imagining when they hear the word suburbia.
Maybe, but you can admit that one of the main argument used by skeptics (and they have the right to be), "suburbia is not as interesting as another location", is not fully receivable. A movie does not depend on it's location in order to be good, right ?
He's never actually made a film that was above average.
K, good prediction.
Breathtaking.
But it doesn't need to expand into Ghostbusters and The Goonies territory. The last thing we need in suburbia is the predator being careful around signs that says "be careful! kid at play." I think this film is gonna be about that and I think the predator will make friends with the little boy like in E.T.
I meant that he's right saying that it's not gonna be a ten little indians type of story. And i think it's for the better because, done with enough talent (i believe Shane Black and the people working with him are talented) it could fit well in the predator universe, without repeating the same old song again. And mostly, we could have a very cool movie that we didn't have since long ago, which is gold.
Well that's just close mindedness.
I can assure you he's right, and i think it's for the better, at least i hope. I trust Shane Black.
Well the real filmmaker part comes from seeing all his movies and thinking he's a fine storyteller.
Y'all gonna find out in a year. The kid is a main character in the movie. Get over it, no more ten little Indians with a bunch of dudes and and your complimentary female.
The kid doesn't bother me either but he is playing a role that's essentially a plot device. Could be in the movie as much as John Connor in T2 or Sean from Ransom.
oh, that's got me wondering now.
I wouldn't worry about that. Shane Black's made it pretty clear in the past that it's going to be an R.
"And, just to be clear... PG-13 is for pussies. Spines bleed... a lot."

Sounds like The Predator will probably just be a mix mash of Ghostbusters and Friday the 13thif you ask me. The little boy "at the center" is probly the kid that kills the thing in the end too. The best should we could hope for now is some nudes like in those Friday the 13th movies just to keep it interesting.
