Shane Black to direct a Predator film.

Gotta let that sink in for a bit.

Cus he wrote MONSTER SQUAD. The greatest Universal Monster movie ever made. It's what Van Helsing with Hugh Jackman tried to be!

Cue in Predator is actually an actor in a suit playing the part of an alien hunter.

I don't understand why the term "reboot" is being thrown around (as the Predator franchise has no overarching story to speak of), but Shane Black at the helm instantly makes me excited. Or at the very least, coloured a shade of intrigued.

Shane also did uncredited rewrites on the original movie. We're quoting a lot of his dialogue, 'round these parts.

I've never been totally clear on that. In one of the behind the scenes things he talks about how they brought him in, put him in the flick, and it was under the intent to have him do a rewrite, but that ultimately they just went back to what was more-or-less originally planned anyway.

I would love to know what some of his work was on the script, though.

Iron Man 3 wasn't really too praised by critics and almost universally despised by fans, I hope the same doesn't follow here. A reboot of a franchise I like means instant worry for me. As long as it doesn't contradict and it respects the original films, I'll keep an open mind. I was hoping for a Predators Part II, as I think there was still more story to tell there. Writer of Robocop 3 is also a pretty bad sign as well. Can't say I'm too excited about this news from the initial info.

I think it's just not acknowledging Predator, P2, PS. To start clean without having to give exposition that This happened in a jungle in the 80's too.

I think people are looking into the reboot thing a bit too much. It's probably just going to be another movie with the Predator with no explicit connection to the previous films. All three current films pretty much stand on their own as well.

Frank Miller was involved with the writing. There was no saving that movie.

THUS

ALL BLAME GOES TO MILLER
