Predators a Straight-Up Sequel?
Source:Moviehole.net June 5, 2009What direction is Predators, 20th Century Fox's latest entry in the Predator franchise, going in? Remake? Sequel? It appears it may be the latter.
Shepherd Robert Rodriguez (Planet Terror), according to a Moviehole tipster is "considering this an official sequel to John McTiernan's film." And because of this, Rodriguez people have reached out to Arnold Schwarzenegger to participate in the film in some capacity. "Like Terminator, they know Schwarzenegger's a vital ingredient of the franchise. Ideally, Arnold will see it that way too. Ball is in his court now," says the site.
Reportedly Schwarzenegger's "Dutch" has been written into the script. The size of his part is unknown

Dude. What happened to Neil Marshall directing then?
I still don't understand why there is a need to tie the Predator movies together as a linear franchise. Why does Predator 3 have to be called a "reboot"? Predator 2 didn't feel the need to block itself on top of the first movie. Other than a few, short, references. Predator 2 had nothing to do with the first movie. Can't Predator 3 just be another stand alone movie, why does it have to be called a reboot?

Agreed, they could just make a stand alone one. or do a kick ass avp3 that would tie that into the alien franchies.

[B]OH yeah, one more point. You say the scenario i give would cost 200million dollars. Do me a favor. use your internet computer machine and search the budgets for alien, aliens and predator. You know what, let me save your dumbass some trouble. the budget for ALiens alien and predator...,combined, are less than 30 million dollars. So, you know what the morale is?
The cost to make any of those movies today would be at least 50 million and more likely 100+ million.
Pandorum had a budget of around 40 million, 2012 had a budget around 200 million and the Dark Knight had a budget of around 185 million. Movies like this are very expensive to make.
The scenario you suggested would easily be in the 100+ million budget range.
For a franchise that only appeals to a very narrow crowd you're not going to see a studio risk 100+ million on a film unless you have some guaranteed box office draw... you get Will Smith to star in AvP:3 and the studios will drop 300 million on it. James Cameron or Ridley Scott returning to the franchise would also motivate the studios to invest more. Until that happens, these movies are going to be trapped in low-budget hell.
