Just found out about this. I really wish Hollywood would focus on new IP. Predator, Terminator and Alien are 30 years old at this point. It's time for fresh ideas. New types of horror and pushing these genres into the 21st century. Revisiting the 'Predator' concept as it was produced in the 80's is total schlock.

Shane Black is a great writer and a competent director, and he was in the original film - which basically gives me hope, but the cast picture is all unknowns (not necessarily a bad thing) and... a kid.

I'm gonna remain cautiously hopeful until the age rating comes out - PG-13 and you can fúck off. Predators had rape jokes, real darkness and solid gore, that's the least we should expect from this entry and I'm not convinced.

You'd expect Black to know what he's doing, but we associate Predator with brutish masculinity and savage kills - I'm seeing a kid, a woman, a hero (all won't die) and three random non-whites - that's not much plasma canon fodder. Worrying. I'm trusting in you, Black, don't let your old team of elite commandos down with a stink-sequel...

Remember that there was a supposed "Alien Harvest" script by Jon Spaights that was supposed to be the treatment for the Alien prequel which later became Prometheus. It was nothing at all like the film. There are some folks, I think, with a ton of time on their hands and an admirable ability to crank out a completed fake script in nothing flat. I don't think that's the real deal. However, the actual behind-the-scenes pictures I've seen of Predators riding shotgun with humans on an APC is discouraging.

It IS the real deal, i've read that script, and everything is matching the real infos we've got, even the character names. Haven't you see the predator defectors wearing camouflaged uniforms riding the AVP ? That scene is inthe script Here's the pic s
