Didn't he also say it was going to be set on Earth too?
An A-list choice would be someone like, well, Affleck or Cooper. An actor who doesn't need the movie but stars in the movie. Both of these men have shown they have the capacity to open a movie, provided the movie is good. The Town, Argo, American Sniper, etc.
Let's even look at the first Predator. Arnold didn't need Predator, he already had Conan the Barbarian and The Terminator. He was a Golden Globe winner. But yes, Glover and Brody are fine actors. There's no denying that. But they're character actors, not leading men. So it's not a question of being a great actor, but being an A-lister.
Spider-Man Homecoming just started filming a week ago, and they're still announcing cast.
Arnie? Who thought Arnold was in Predator?
Don't know what the fuss is about, as long as he's waiting we can proceed with more meaningful discussions, so everybody is happy
I'm calling bullshit the original Predator was ever filmed at all.
I am calling bullshit on this list. Titanic was not filmed there.
STILL WAITING for someone to name a successful movie filmed there.

Vancouver will be fine and can pass for pretty much anywhere, but maybe they are going for a small town feeling? We'll see, but i'm not worried about this.
All of these I seen in the Theater.
I hope you've got your long lenses and your camera ready! I'll try and remember to get in touch when we find out something more specific.

I didn't say Vancouver is good.It is crappy and cheap.
That moss-covered forest in AVP-R was cool, but shit we've already seen that.
It could be set in Afghanistan. Mountain, desert, heat and conflict. A desert hunter, it just seems like a nice new setting we have not seen. We have seen the jungle and seen the city now let us try a desert environment.
Lets say 8 man spec ops force sent in probably under misleading orders from some dark agency that possibly knows about the predator.
The locals could be talking about the Predator and refering to the 'Jinn' which are islamic mythological creatures like devils demons.
Instead of ripping off P1 too much like Predators, you don't have another dude wielding a mini gun you have maybe a blackhawk heli or humvee vehicle mounted weapon for a mini gun scene. You could have a Predator plasma casting Apache gunships out the sky. Predator drones getting taken down by the desert hunter Predator. The squad takes on rebels before encountering the Predator. Maybe even joining together with locals to fight the Predator.
Ofcourse half way through you got some guy from the dark agency realises the reports were true and they refer back to P1 arnie and P2 Danny Glover stories. Maybe he joins the main team on the ground.
Have not fleshed my story out just I thought the setting could work. Afghan conflict is horrible and should never have happened, would have made a good Predator movie setting. Just had to get that off my chest.
I forgot to add, yes my thoughts were get Vin Diesel and Dwayne Jonson the rock onboard. What is the most dangerous threat to a Predator? A bunch of disorganised misfits that dont know each other with ridiculous random weapons or an elite special forces team trained and geared for battle?
In the scripts Keyes mentions the Neguev Desert .

He said the film takes place in a different locations so i really hope to see a South American jungle, A desert and an LA setting as Black's movies always there.But Vancouver is not fitting.No heat, no conflicts around there..maybe the trapped Predo will be taken there, or they just film the lab scenes there.10 years after AvpR maybe Adam Baldwin will be there and he was right to say no to the Strause bros.
I still hope they move the relase date to 2017 but how could The Predator be a " summer event movie" what Black wants if they planning to relase in feb,2018?
