So they're remaking my favorite movie of all time and putting the director of that shitty ass IM3 behind it? Phuck your unoriginality Hollywood!

i like this news.. i don't have a problem with shane black.. this film should have some good violence

It's going to be hard to replicate/outdo the perfect script, machismo, and pacing of the original.

I'm optimistic, especially if some material is drawn from the Dark Horse well.

Honestly, I REALLY don't see the point in this remake.

Predator is considered by many to be one of the best action movies ever made; why not just do something different this time? There's tons of lore to work with.

I guess I should have expected this after they remade Total Recall. I would like to see a remake of Commando though TBH.

I thought they were going in the right direction with Predators. If there is one movie that did not need a reboot it is this one. Seriously. But then again I guess everything is up for remakes after they remade Robocop(which I liked, but yeah)

Sigh. At least Robocop made sense from a "Dead franchise" standpoint. But this? Come on!

I agree, it doesn't need to be re-made, just make another one and give it a subtitle. Although I suppose you could look at a remake like that.

The one thing I really wanted to see in predators is the predator home world and the weird culture they have. Show them at war with a rival warrior race lots there

I was hoping they'd remake that predator concrete jungle game...but i guess this will do

i was kind of looking forward to the predators sequel *shrugs*

As enjoyable as it was, I think there was too many plot holes to warrant a sequel.

He has done other movies, jackass

also Shane Black was in the original Predator movie


as for this reboot, I don't give a shit one bit.

What warranted the "jackass"? Why are you and Quan so critical of my subjective opinion?

Maybe because your ignorant at times

and don't compare me with Quan, I don't want anything to do with that clown.

It sounds like you're butthurt for some unknown reason. Oh wellz. Not my problem.

Anyways, I will track the progress of this thing until it's release. The trailer will be the deal-breaker for me IMO.

Actually i'm quite fine, Don't where your getting i'm butthurt over something.

Calling me a "jackass" and "ignorant" just because I said I didn't like IM3 for starters.

That wasn't what i was directing at, Pays to read

the jackass part wasn't because you dislike IM3, I just presumed that that's all you knew of Shane Black's work....sorry if i'm wrong.

I know he's done better stuff, but his latest film is the one I judge the quality of the next off of. As shown by George Lucas, Oliver Stone, Ridley Scott, and others, having some good films under your belt doesn't mean every film you make will be good. The latest film I saw of Black's was IM3, and that was crap IMO. I am fearful that this Predator (again my favorite film ever) reboot will have the same quality.

I might do the same thing as you wait for a trailer for a final judgement

also i'm wondering how much of a reboot this will be, Will be a a 100% restart or something else. Because they said the same thing about the upcoming Terminator movie but it seems to be using the events of T1 & T2 in its story.

^

The thing is how much of a reboot will it be?....as i noted about the upcoming Terminator movie.

TBF, it's not exactly hard to reboot this series. The continuity is all over the map.

That is one thing I was kind of thinking to.

Why can't it just be a "predator" movie.

Granted anything that expunges the AVP crap can't be considered a BAD THING.

Probably because the average person who saw the original Predator (& Robocop) on the big screen is in their mid-40's now.

Re-boots are just pitching old ideas to a younger generation.

Because we live in a society of no imagination, this is the reason for all of the reboots. Many movie producers are afraid to create something original I think this is the reason for the lack of anything new anymore. Almost everything out there is a remake,reboot or a copy of something that did well in the past.


nothing against the reboots I love most of them but I miss the overactive imaginations of movie producers in the past that were willing to try something new.

If the current cinema environment implies that our society has no imagination, then we have never had imagination.

Reboots, remakes and adaptations of previously established stories have been a major hallmark of cinema since... it's inception, basically.

We notice it now more than before because technology has allowed us to be more historically aware.

I get the feeling that the writers strike several years ago really put the scare into Hollywood execs...they didn't realise the domino effect of movie schedules getting postponed or the amount of tv series that got cancelled. I'm guessing reboots need less writers to rely on & still guarantee an opening box office success based more on marketing than the actual quality of the film.

Sequel or is it a reboot?

i hope this lots of blood and guts , good action and story. oh and hope this is casted good

Both it seems, Same way how Mad Mad: Fury Road was a reboot/sequel for that franchise.

Gotta refresh them rights.

What rights?.....its a Fox property.

You know, i never thought i'd be saying that i don't care about a new predator movie.

Just makes no sense. This is akin to rebooting a Spiderman or Batman movie again. It serves no purpose in introducing itself to a new audience. The only people that want to see a predator movie and the vast majority of the people going to see a predator movie are people that are already familiar with it.

It just seems like a bad business decision as well. Predator relies on a relatively niche following. Granted, i don't see the brand having a problem pulling in a fifty million dollar box office if done well, but at this point i think that's actually a big gamble. If they're rebooting the series that suggests to me that they already want to invest in numerous sequels. I doubt that a twenty million dollar profit would be enough to convince a studio to eagerly invest in future sequels just as i doubt another mediocre movie will convince audiences to continue showing loyalty.

I agree with alot of the other posters here. There is such a vast pool of material to choose from when it comes to the, Predator. Considering that the Predator movies don't follow any kind of important story continuity it would be so easy to use anything from that pool.

If they want to tie it into the first movie, Should use one of the stories where it has Dutch's brother "Predator: Cold War" if not change just change it since they already did it with Predator: Concrete Jungle (Not the game of the same name)

It just doesn't fit. AvP, Preadators, all of the more recent films have pulled from the original lore but been able to stand alone well enough that they brought in fans old and new. It just seems empty and pointless to reboot or refresh the series when progress can be made on the foundation that already exists.

The idea of why reboots are so common now makes sense, but to date very few have interested me.

I think the most important part of the original predator...was how they established the group to be badass mofos in their element only to be dismantled easily by an unknown entity...

The problem with remaking this film is that we already know what a predator is... we know what it looks like uncloaked, what it more or less whats, even its technology...

So it jumping through trees screaming and shyt just wont cut it...
Maybe go full horror on it?

I'd rather another AVP film, but on another planet/future Earth.

I'd rather they reboot the AVP movie franchise.

I say they should make a movie where they send a Predator(s) into the Middle East and have them kill a bunch of Isis terrorists. The twist....The Predators WIN!

Predator 2 took place in Los Angeles. What a noob.

I like Aliens vs. Predator : Requiem.
Well...... Wolf vs. The Aliens & Predealien. The only shitty parts were, of coarse, the human fodder stories/character arcs. Which unfortunately was most of the film barker

So nobody feeling the full on horror mode predator angle?

Fine im not feeling you guys ideas either

Which was "loosely" based on the novel Predator: Concrete Jungle.

Anybody remember predator: concrete jungle the game...
Underrated i tell you

Wouldn't mind seeing a Predator game done with the same gameplay style as Assassins Creed.

I just don't see a reason to reboot the Predator franchise. None of the movies follow each other in any kind of continuity. Even the AvP movies exist in a universe of their own.

Where exactly are you getting that this is a reboot?.... besides the thread title

its gonna be a sequel, Event Patient_Leech posted a link for it.

I enjoyed it relatively speaking. They did do some things correctly, like having the National Guard contingent that was on-site getting shredded because they really had no idea what they were being sent up against; guessing they were purely a delaying tactic until a real time could be sent in. There were good elements of the film.

The main problem was that it was built on utter garbage. AvP was so full of bad writing and plot devices that did not fit at all that it just set the whole series up to be garbage. That said, Predators wasn't too bad as a standalone, and didn't limp in riding the farce that was AvP so it sank or swam based on the movie's own merits.

Kind of rambling here, but as long as they're keeping it to a follow-up and not trying to negate what was established in the first film I'm fine with it. It can't be worse than AvP, right? Let's hope not, anyway.

Good news as we're one step closer to another mother****ing Predator.

Am looking forward to see what Shane Black does with his upcoming Doc Savage.

There were some things about Predators I didn't like, it wasn't perfect, but dammit I thought it was pretty damn good for the most part and want to see it continued. Are they at least going to continue it with comics or something?

This one i'm going with... from what i've read about it.

'The Predator' the official title?

http://www.scified.com/news/official-title-for-shane-blacks-predator-4-announced

I like this idea if it is an immediate follow up to the original film with another Predator showing up immediately after.

I'd like to see Dutch in current day, retired, having to face a Predator once again but this time under different circumstances.

Maybe Danny Glover and Arnold team up?

I would like to see Arnold again. Call it nostalgia call it what you will but gosh darnit I'd get behind that.

Well FOX announced a release date for the film, can't wait.

March 2nd 2018.

Arnold Schwarzenegger to meet with Shane Black to discuss potential casting in The Predator (Predator 4)!

http://www.scified.com/news/arnold-schwarzenegger-to-meet-with-shane-black-to-discuss-potential-casting-in-the-predator-predator-4

I would like to see Arnie back.

With the comics Dutch got health effects similar to radiation from exposure to the explosion of the Jungle Hunter's Self-Destruct Device and was sent to a hospital and later escapes.

Wonder if they'll use that.

Yeah, if it's done right I probably wouldn't mind seeing Arnie return, seeing as he was so crucial in the first film.

This really doesn't need Arnie.
The last 2 Pred movies were enjoyable without him.
An ageing, obsolete Terminator was credible enough but an old Dutch versing a Predator is stretching.

Depends how big the role is.

True.
But if it's a cameo...why bother?
The franchise doesn't need Dutch.

Don't know why I'm supposed to care about this. Just because something should be easily made doesn't it will. All you need to do is look back and see how much they ****ed up the alien and predator series. There's no reason to expect that we'll get anything better than a shitty alien sequel or an alien vs predator movie. I'm a die hard fan of these properties but the writers, directors and studios have everything to prove and convince me of. As of now, I expect nothing but shit from both the, aliens and predator fanchise

pessimistic much?

perhaps but i have reason to be pessimistic than optimistic. hope in one hand and shit in the other, eh?

First Predator film was great (best film with a Predator in it), but Arnold had his time in it and this franchise needs to move beyond him with anything other than a cameo to further the plot or possibly an ancillary role.

I really enjoyed the Predators.

I personally enjoyed both 1 and 2. How people hate on Pred 2 is beyond me. It was just as good as, if not better than the first.

Predators was...could have been better bit not to bad. AVP 1 was horrible and AVP 2 was ok I guess.

I'm a huge Yautja fan and I was hoping the movies would show the same respect to them but we will see.

Predator 1 was a milestone for sci-fi. Predator was great B movie fun. Predators was just ok. Either way there is no need to shoe horn ahnold into another movie. the predator story line can easily be continued on without having to do a remake/reboot but a remake of reboot wouldn't feel unnecessary because it would just be another predator story.

i enjoyed predators, it was fun and kept me interested

i fcking hate shane black after IM3, so i am not looking forward to anymore of his films. he should be blacklisted in hollywood. i am so butthurt. it's a shame because i love me some predators

Shane Black might be back on track with that upcoming The Nice Guys movie.

I liked AvP 2. What ruined it a bit was the stupid human story lines no one gives 2 fuqs about. Everyone just want to see Aliens and Predators rip each others rectums out.

It would've been a short film but he should've detonated the ship & surrounding town, not go hunting against an unknown number of Aliens.

He wouldn't be the so called experienced predator if he did that.

But it part of their "culture".
If against all odds, blow up.
It wasn't a hunt, it was a clean-up.

It was both.

It was a cleanup mission but Wolf was pissed after he got the distress call and found his dead predator friends in the ship.

After that Wolf wanted to fuq up some Aliens.
