He makes some interesting points about how monsters lose their appeal when they're shown too often, but that sort of worries me. How do you expand on the creature if you start from the "I don't know what's going on" again and we know more than the characters about who's attacking them? Reintroducing Predator is going to be hard since we all know what it is. But I agree with the Loch Ness quote "I hope they don't find it".
Interesting, but a bit worrying as well.
He also mentioned how he went "No, no no!" when he saw Aliens 4 and saw the scene where aliens are diving in the water. Said that's too revealing and specifically didn't like that it was CGI. That's good because he knows actual costume looks better than CGI and that translates well for a Predator movie, but I'm again worried we won't see the Predator a lot in this movie. I don't want this to be Godzilla where you got to see it for 10 mins total.
Mystery is great, but how do you make the Predator mysterious again when we all know about it? Not only that, but we also know the Predator looks cool and we want to see more of him. I'm worried that building the whole mystery about the creature again will fail.
