Fox Rebooting 'Predator' With Shane Black

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/fox-rebooting-predator-shane-black-714598

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.

If Black isn't in the movie, who is going to tell all those bad jokes?

I'm not sold because he's involved, I'm sold because this is one of those movies that I loved but always felt it could have been even better. But does this generation even have a Bill Duke or Sonny?

Shane Black Says His Predator Film Is a Sequel, Not a Reboot

http://collider.com/predator-reboot-sequel-shane-black/#3XwbA4CE5m8I2eyr.99

While the initial report said that Black’s new Predator film would be a reboot, Black tells us that he and Dekker see the project as definitely not a reboot, “As far as Fred and I are concerned anyway,” Black said, adding “Why start over, when you’ve all this rich mythology yet to mine?” Black said he doesn’t like reboots generally, but can “really get behind inventive sequels”, noting that he likes “the idea of expanding and exploring the existing Predator mythology, rather than hitting the restart button.” He went on to say that Dekker, who’s writing the screenplay, is “perfect” for the project, adding the two had a blast writing the screenplay for The Monster Squad together. Indeed, the result of their previous collaboration makes the prospect of the new Predator film even more enticing.

I hated P2 and the crossovers were MEH. The 3rd one I actually liked. I am all for them continuing the franchise but not for the sake of making bank. Get a quality script and story together......PLEASE.

Second trailer looks much better than the first, but we'll see.

Predators was actually really good in my opinion it was interesting to see them on there planet and Adrian Brody was a great action hero didn't see that coming.

This looks like it's going to disappoint me

This is amazing. You like Predators but think the Shane Black-directed The Predator is going to be bad? Wow!

I don't really know how I feel about Predator bring based in the suburbs. Gives me a Jason/Freddy vibe. Don't get me wrong I hope and pray this is going to be awesome

I agree on Predators, loved it and was surprised to see Brody be so effective as an action star. I'm looking forward to the new Predator but using the same title and then saying it's a sequel seems strange. And I do worry they might get sidetracked in an urban setting, as they have in some of the other Predator and Predator Alien crossovers.

Whoa.

Predator (1987) and The Predator (2018).

Not the same title.

Not the same title.

I had noticed the use of the definite article but I humbly suggest it's the same freaking thing.

Not a very original name, for sure.

I have no idea who Shane Black is & why he would make this better.

Shane Black rules! His name is a verb for a certain type of screen writing.

funny I just watched the original Predator with my kids this weekend. Thought for sure it wouldn't hold up but I still found it enjoyable.

I have no idea who Shane Black is & why he would make this better.

A lot of the high profile action movies from roughly 25 years ago were written by him. He was in high demand in the early 90's and then disappeared for awhile for personal reasons. He also plays Hawkins in the original Predator and supposedly made up the jokes he told on film.

Hey Billy, Billy! The other day, I went up to my girlfriend and said, "Ya know, I'd like a little *****". She said, "Me too, mine's as big as a house!
