Considering I felt Iron Man 3 was Predators-level disappointing I don't know how I feel about this. He seems like a better choice than a lot of other people, and I'm certainly more game for this than another Prometheus, so we'll just have to see how it goes.
I have never really seen Iron Man 3, so I can't really say anything about that particular movie or Shane Black's directorial abilities. However as far as Fred Dekker is concerned, I have seen the Monster Squad and as far as that movie is concerned.. It was a good horror comedy film with a modern spin on the classical horror monsters. Robocop 3, which Dekker also did.. Aaaaaah.. You know, I don't know what went wrong with that movie.. Some say it was the script, others say studio interference or something to do with the bankruptcy but.. that movie was considered the one which killed Dekker's career as a director. Personally, I don't hate Robocop 3.. Just was disappointed with it in some aspects.
I really have nothing bad to say about this turn of events, although I had been hoping for a reboot, I'm curious to see where this sequel goes and exactly which film it's a sequel to. But my main concerns are where the movie will be set, the treatment of the Predator creature and culture, what will be added and how it will fit. All of those.. I'm sure we'll find out in maybe six months to a year's time.
