Title: PREDATOR is getting a Reboot
Post by: bradistani on June 24, 2014, 06:57:32 PM
this was always inevitable i guess. good news is shane black is onboard to both write (treatment) and direct.

sounds good, but still, the original will NEVER be outdone, imo. it's a masterpiece! casting will be crucial though. it was to a large degree the superb cast that made the original so great. especially so for the PREDATOR itself, kevin peter hall (rip).

and PLEASE, no arnie cameo, thank you very much!!

The "Lethal Weapon" creator and "Iron Man 3" director will write the treatment and is attached to direct the project, which could relaunch the sci-fi action franchise.

The ’80s action classic Predator is getting the reboot treatment from 20th Century Fox.

But before some purists cry foul, they should know that this reboot comes with an interesting attachment: Shane Black, the venerable screenwriter behind Lethal Weapon and writer-director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3.

Black will write the treatment for the project, then will hand over scripting duties to Fred Dekker, his university chum with whom he wrote 1987’s Monster Squad. Black will oversee the writing and is also attached to direct.

John Davis, who produced the original with Joel Silver and Lawrence Gordon, is producing the reboot.

Predator is the muscle-bound action 1987 movie that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura as commandos being stalked in a jungle by a fearsome alien. John McTiernan directed the film, which was one of the movies that cemented Schwarzenegger’s star power.

Black actually appeared in a minor role in the original movie and how he became involved is part of Hollywood lore.

When Predator was being made in 1986, Black was already a screenwriting prodigy for his Lethal Weapon and Monster Squad scripts. The studio and producers wanted him to polish the script for Predator, which was then in pre-production. Black turned it down. A few weeks later, they approached him again. Once more, Black said no. Another few weeks went by, and then the studio called again. This time, however, he was told there was a small role in the movie and asked whether he would like to have it. Black said yes.

When he arrived to the South American set, the studio execs and producers greeted him and said, "By the way, would you mind taking a look at the script?" Black replied, "I’m still not rewriting it."

Fox has found ways to keep Predator alive since its initial outing. There was a Schwarzenegger-less sequel, Predators, in 1990. Robert Rodriguez produced an installment of the franchise in 2010. Fox also combined it with its Alien franchise for a couple of Alien vs. Predator movies released in 2004 and 2007, respectively.

Fox exec Matt Reilly is overseeing the reboot. Davis Entertainment's Ira Napoliello is also overseeing.

This is proving to be a busy time for Black. He is trying to put together a cast for The Nice Guys, a 1970s crime movie that was originally earmarked for television. Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are circling the project, which is being produced by Silver but has no home just yet, and that could shoot this fall.

Black is also very actively developing Doc Savage, the adaptation of the 1930s pulp hero for Sony. He recently met with Chris Hemsworth for the title role, but it’s unclear when that project would shoot since it’s still grappling with budgetary issues. Sony, however, does consider Savage one of its priorities.

Black is repped by WME, GreenLit Creative and Bloom Hergott.

Dekker, who directed Monster Squad as well as Robocop 3, is also repped by WME.

Robocop should have been left alone. It was perfect.

The thing is, the cast made so much of the movie and what it was.

Without Arnold, Jesse Ventura, Action Jackson and the rest, it won't be the same.

This time it will be the new generation of actors. like Taylor Lautner, Tobey McGuire et al

Predator doesn't need a reboot, better of just re-wach it.

If you think about it the movie Predators made in 2010 was pretty much the same thing: Bunch of higly trained killers in a jungle unloading clips on all directions without hitting the beast till they die, one by one. Then you have the twink arnie cover in mud that saves the day with some MacGyver skills.

All we see these aliens do is chase people around.  Where'd the space ship come from?  How'd he afford all those hunting tools?

That should be a scene in the new film.  Predator sitting in a cubicle.  "Gahkrr, what's happening with the shooting spear tip recall?  Old man Nxakq is all over me about it!  Fml, still `;' days till vacation.  It's gonna be so cool!"

A little character development.  Maybe we'd hope this poor shlub wouldn't get killed for once.

Predator backstory was implemented more in Predator 2, Predator VS Aliens, Predator VS Aliens 2 and Predators.

If doing a Reboot on the original Predator-movie, he/it still needs to be Mysterious and the movie needs to have more thriller-parts and that Cat and Mouse-feel. Anything about his background would not be needed.

But i do agree that i would like to see a Predator-movie (call it Predator 3), full of character-development, where you see their life on their planet, and grabbing an assignment and then travelling to another planet to hunt wildlife.

Girl predators sitting around.

"He wanted to do the Earth safari" ::)

"Didn't they have some problems there?"

"No, no.  It's perfectly safe.  It's just so lame."

Little predators come bounding in.

"Yes, I'm sure your father will remember to bring you each an Earth spine.  He'll be home tomorrow.  Ok?"

"They miss him so much."

Phone starts ringing.  "Who could that be?"  Fade to black.

Would be cool to see predators fighting prometheus engineers, hand to hand combat, then being ambushed by aliens with hundreds of humans being slaughtered during the process.
Then sigourney weaver gets saved by arnold and they make geriatric sex with plenty of softcore scenes.

If anything they should do a reboot of the Aliens vs predators series. They fucked them all up, there was so much potential there and they should have been rated 18.

Somehow Oliva Munn, a bio-molecular scientist with no backstory becomes an instant badass action hero in a movie that is a more a cheap joke mix of E.T. and The A Team than anything from the Predator franchise.

Horrid...as bad as the The First Purge, which was the worst movie I've seen this year.
