New Predator Film: Dutch carry on or new plot?

[HuDaFuK]

Well yeah, obviously they'd have to come up with a reason for a Predator to kill him. I wasn't thinking they'd just drop out of the sky and waste him for no reason.

Many wants new Predator to simply go after Arnie. I strongly dislike such idea.

Agreed.. If you want Arnold, leave him for a cameo or mentor role. Otherwise, just leave him alone.

[Magegg]

Kill Dutch on-screen. That would tell us things are getting serious.

[DUB1]

New characters, again. Dutch's old news.

But I'd be fine with continuing Royce's story.

While I would quite like to see them continue the Royce story some time, I think I'd prefer a Shane Black film to use Shane Black characters.

shane will create new characters .he could leave dutch out or not. im fine either way. im mostly concerned about the predator or predators and how they are handled from script too design and makeup effects and having proper size actors in costume.  those details make or break this movie for me.

Whatever they do next, going to have Schwarzenegger go toe to toe with Predator's on their home planed is the most ridiculous idea to bring to the screen...

It just would never escape fan fiction level.

[Huntsman]

Arnold will never come back. That idea needs to be put to rest.

[whiterabbit]

Arnie will be back; if the pay check is HUGE enough... which considering the mess this movies box office is in. No Chance.

Depends on how they do it. Both the ideas from the original scripts of Predators and The Predator were bad. One had Dutch as a predator clan leader, other had Dutch leading a war against predators. Predator isn't about alien invasion and wars, its about hunt. Then again that script of Dutch on the predator homeworld was bad as well. Predators's Noland characters could have been replaced with Dutch, but that was another missed oportunity.

Arnie was in his physical prime when they made the original film, and even then the Predator practically beat him to a pulp.

No he hasn't, he purposely lost size to make movies and to not look too unrealistic, sure he wasn't natty on Predator, but not on the same league as in his 20s. But yeah, he won't be able to get to the same level that he was on the movie as attempting it would hurt his healthy but he doesn't have to.

The biggest problem is they're just too damn old.  Trying to have him fight one now would just be the most stupid, laughable thing ever. Danny Glover's no spring chicken either.

Don't know about Glover but Arnie started to look great for his age when he started the movies again and by default training. No human should be able to fight a predator hand to hand regardless of age, Dutch should rely on strategy and firepower to a fight a predator, he learned on his first experience that fists don't work.

On the novel Predator: Turnabout we had a old sniper take out multiple preds by camping while using clothers that hide the heat, the novel takes place on a snow location. Sure I don't like one guy killing several predators, it would work better with a one-on-one thing, or a team vs more than one predator.

Regardless its smarter for humans to not try to rely on close combat to fight predators, as long as a 70 year old Dutch doesn't try to fight Predators shirtless covered in mud using bows and spears it could work. But the way things are going, I doubt Dutch will be back. And if he does the writing and script will be bad, as that's how the writers are doing things nowadays and the character might be ruined.

[skull-splitter]

Thing is, it is fan fiction level and nineties sequel thinking that would make it seem great.

But then we get shit like the last scene...

[Huntsman]

Dutch is a good character. But I'm not sure if he even warrants a comeback. He survived the first film, but a lot of that was specific to THAT film. He managed to use the mud (which was discovered by chance) and eventually win. But are those circumstances going to occur every time? And even if they do, does it make Dutch special? These tactics are known by intelligence agencies now.

[Fugitive Predator]

Dutch would never work Arnold is to old
Look how the new terminator movie turned out.
He is way past his prime

[Huntsman]

I'd rather Dutch be a man who fought a Predator and won. He carries bad memories of the incident (his crew wiped out) and has tried to live a low key life ever since.
