Since playing around with a Predator mod for Arma 2 I always wanted to see a Predator film set in the desert.
It could be set in Afghanistan. Mountain, desert, heat and conflict. A desert hunter, it just seems like a nice new setting we have not seen. We have seen the jungle and seen the city now let us try a desert environment.
Lets say 8 man spec ops force sent in probably under misleading orders from some dark agency that possibly knows about the predator.
The locals could be talking about the Predator and refering to the 'Jinn' which are islamic mythological creatures like devils demons.
Instead of ripping off P1 too much like Predators, you don't have another dude wielding a mini gun you have maybe a blackhawk heli or humvee vehicle mounted weapon for a mini gun scene. You could have a Predator plasma casting Apache gunships out the sky. Predator drones getting taken down by the desert hunter Predator. The squad takes on rebels before encountering the Predator. Maybe even joining together with locals to fight the Predator.
Ofcourse half way through you got some guy from the dark agency realises the reports were true and they refer back to P1 arnie and P2 Danny Glover stories. Maybe he joins the main team on the ground.
Have not fleshed my story out just I thought the setting could work. Afghan conflict is horrible and should never have happened, would have made a good Predator movie setting. Just had to get that off my chest.
I forgot to add, yes my thoughts were get Vin Diesel and Dwayne Jonson the rock onboard. What is the most dangerous threat to a Predator? A bunch of disorganised misfits that dont know each other with ridiculous random weapons or an elite special forces team trained and geared for battle?
