Shane Black To Write and Direct Predator Reboot!

[Spoonman101]

Terminator 2 !?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH, This isn't Terminator 2!

[Xan21]

I don't mind a reboot, but I really don't have any desire to see Arnold Schwarzenegger in it

Bigger is rarely better when it comes to films. Some films nail it but alot don't. The predator franchise doesn't need money thrown at it. It needs real talent, like Shane Black, to take it on a inject life back into it. If they pump a shed load of money into the scale will become too big. Predator films should work in settings that are pretty self contained. They don't warrant a huge budget

Tell that to Prometheus. Once upon a time, people only thought that Alien films could be small films about blue collar people. Prometheus proved them wrong so much that it doesn't even have Alien in the title.

Will it take place on Christmas for no reason whatsoever that is the ultimate question.

Fingers crossed!

I also hope we'll see the Mr. Joshua fire test of loyalty incorporated somehow.

Once again, completely irrelevant. Just because it works for one franchise doesn't mean it will work for another. Plead bear in mind on not saying it wouldn't work for predator but it's not necessary.

Also, please stop personifying films.

Well, that's why Shane Black is making the movie. He's a bold risk-taker. While everybody on here is chirping that it'll never work, he's the one who steps up to the plate and says "Yes, it will, actually".

Go get 'em Shane, make me proud.

Remember Predators was also called reboot at first. Fox won't damage a continuity I'm sure of that.

Just wait to see the budget. If it gets 80million or more to work with I will be very surprised. Take into account marketing and advertising, Fox are going to be very careful.

Um, the fact it doesn't even have Alien in the title kind'a illustrates that the studio still doesn't think an actual Alien film could be anything else. They had to call it a prequel spinoff to make it work.

[DaddyYautja]

I didnt like Predators but i like a reboot even less.
Why dont people just continue on with the story? Why do they have to tell the same story over and over again?
Add something new, add something fresh, come on!

I'll be very surprised if it gets any more than Predators.

No no, the title was the idea from Lindelof and Scott, not the studio. They realized they crafted a story so far removed from a traditional Alien film, that they didn't have it in the title. It's still set in the ALIEN universe.

And why aren't you combating my "small films" comment? You're not gonna mention the Alien Resurrection budget?

It will be more of stand alone film the total remake. Trust me

[Crazy Rich]

Terminator 2 box office would like a word.

Implying a past success means future success is always set in stone.

Set in the universe, but not intended as an Alien movie. For the analogy to work, this movie would have to be called something else, and be about one of the skulls we see in the P2 trophy room.

Budget isn't related to scope.
