FOX definitely is not messing around on Predators. They are pushing ahead full bore on the reboot of the film franchise and according to BD they now have a writer. Alex Litvak who is currently working on Medieval will be penning the story for Robert Rodriquez who will produce… not direct as was earlier reported.
I am a huge fan of both predator movies and I actually think I lean more towards Predator 2 as my favorite since they did an outstanding job on the future urban feell in Predator 2. In the new reboot the Predator will be taking on otherworldly nasties according to comments that Robert Rodriquez made to LatinoReview He says quote;
“What I’d like to do with it is expand on ideas I dreamt up back in the original treatment, that had really expanded on the universe both the Predators and other species live in. We’d create new otherworldly characters while not taking away from the draw our main Predator has. I think another reason I called it Predators was to mark it as a project that should be taken seriously by a film-maker to make a worthy follow up to a classic, much in the way Cameron made Aliens a compelling work on its own, following Ridley Scott’s Alien.”
As I said when this project was announced I like the idea of more predator with a man like Robert Rodriguez at the helm. I do not want a remake but a reboot that takes us in a different direction will kick ass.
