Shane Black To Write and Direct Predator Reboot!

[SiL]

Brody doesn't say it is a reboot, just that it's basically one. Which isn't the same thing.

[Lemonade]

I fight back.

And why we're making it down here just to do our thing as fans. So that's what's kind of fun about coming and doing a reboot is...

And then just late last year or earlier this year probably I think it was, Fox came back and said, 'We wanted to reboot the franchise and such a classic character and we looked up your old script and we thought this is great.

Basically, f**k what they call it, because chances are someone's going to reference the first film's events per usual anyway. I guess sequel is a dirty word. I don't know why this dialogue even exists anymore, Shane literally said it's not a friggin reboot hahaha.

[Ghostface]

Call it a porno for all I care as long as it's a good f**kin movie

The dialogue exists because "reboot" is a lazy term for "we're not remaking it, but we're not exactly following straight on from everything else."

This will likely fit into that definition, unless they fully just bring back Dutch or something and make it follow on. Maybe see if Adam Baldwin will come back.

Oh gee, someone really should've told the news outlets reporting it as such to do a Wiki search of the word first. Dude. Shane Black said it would not be a reboot, what more do you f**king want?

First of all, you need to calm down and stop insulting people.

Second of all, this is basically my exact point. Hollywood throws the word 'reboot' around without even knowing what it means. Like it's some cool phrase that will get more asses on seats.

lots of bloggers already dismissed this movie because they read "reboot" and immediately trashed an unmade film. the internet is people resaying what was read on another site without fact checking . its a problem .

No insult anywhere in that post good sir.

I think it will fit that definition too. I can see Arnold doing a cameo, or maybe even starring as well.

i wouldn't be surprised if this movie had several key main characters and dutch was one of them. it could very well mix older with newer characters . i mean i wouldn't be shocked if we saw whats her face from predator having nightmares of being a little girl whith the demon who makes trophies of men killing her brother or finding a skinned body. ? i think this movie will have a grand scope probably setting up more movies. or be small and focused  .. cant wait.

Today is my "agree with WorldPeace" day. So right - I shouldn't let it annoy me, but I do - I get the right hump when people say something's going to be shit before a scene has been shot. I get more of the hump because sometimes I'm guilty of that myself - mention "Escape from New York remake" and watch me go off on one *lol*.

I knee-jerked when I read "predator reboot" .... then I read "Shane Black" and held my horses. How he's come out and said its a sequel, I'll admit to squeeing with glee - I'm HUGELY positive about this project... it could be the movie we've all been waiting for for years.

To everyone complaining about people complaining...can you really and truly blame the latter group for being high strung? Hollywood doesn't exactly have a great track record when it comes to remaking or redoing classic films.

Huda and Lemon Juice quit being so aggressively patronizing to other posters...

Now in terms of "Reboot"

Seeing as I mistaked my "to, too, two's" I can't see if you can find anything I write credible.. However I make my living off explaining things like this...

Reboot in definition means to continue a sequence after either inactivity or merely to "begin over" again.

Reboot was a word best described for computers, it was never mentioned until the 1970s and only gained mass popularity in the turn of the millenia. What you guys are describing is a word adopted by Hollywood to reference situations that can mean anything related to whether a film is revived or restarted. If a sequence begins again after a long inactivity it is considered a REBOOT. If a sequence begins over from scratch it is considered a REBOOT.
Take a look at your computers and find out when you use the term reboot for them. Then in turn see how that is taken in regards to film... Needless to say the word is just a metaphor in the language of Hollywood.

So ultimately,  you guys are arguing over who is right in which you both are...

And that is just wrong. Reboot in fiction is specifically not continuing the sequence.

Of course, how could I be so foolish...

I'm glad you're able to see the error of your ways.
