It might prove he's the right fit for another Marvel film, but Predator? And to co-write it too?It's probably why I didn't know the director of the wonderful James Bond film "Casino Royale", Martin Campbell, made him the right fit for "Green Lantern" either! Oh.. wait. Look I had fun watching "The Predator", will buy it on blu-ray too, but it's not the great film the franchise needed unfortunately. And that falls mostly on Shane.

Quote from: Huggs on Oct 20, 2018, 11:43:08 PMIron Man 3 made money because it was an Iron Man movie. They've drug this thing out way too long. Iron man didn't need 3 movies. It was clear by the second film that things were getting thin. But you'll never get anyone in charge to put an end to what's likely the greatest money making machine in the history of the business. It'll have to put itself out narratively. Unless they start introducing more new characters as teenagers to keep the franchise alive for the foreseeable future. This beef with Thanos needs to be the endgame. Then they all need to retire and let the world take care of itself. "They always had heroes".
Quote from: Voodoo Magic on Oct 21, 2018, 02:45:30 PMI love the Russo Bros. directed installments. Winter Soldier. Civil War. Infinity War. So, so good in my opinion.Back on topic though, yeah, nothing Black did with "Iron Man 3" told me he was the right fit for Predator.

Quote from: Leemour84 on Oct 20, 2018, 10:55:27 AMIf I was an executive at fox and I heard Shane Black was gonna do a new film the first thing I'd say is oh it's gonna be a funny take on it, I'd have asked Blomkamp to prove himself by making PREDATOR 4 then if it's a critical and commercial success then he can do ALIEN 5.
