[MOVIE] Predator sequel

First off: despite the initial reports, this is NOT, I repeat, NOT a reboot! It is a proper sequel to Predator, Predator 2, and Predators.

Quote:

Initial reports were that Black would be making a reboot of Predator, but the director recently told Collider that wasn't strictly the case. "Why start over, when you've all this rich mythology yet to mine?" he said. Of course, given the nature of the Predator storyline, it's not clear just where the line between reboot and sequel lies. A new film could simply be about yet another creature landing somewhere in the universe, without referencing the original film in any way, and still be considered a sequel.

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.

Now, while I admit that Predators was a flawed movie, it was still an enjoyable one. And I like the fact that they did expand the mythos of Predator in some interesting ways: a Predator planet, multiple Predators active at once, all armed with different equipment, and the new Predator types with the original yellow-skinned "dog" Predator and the red-skinned "wolf" Predator. So to leave all that behind and undeveloped would have been a darn shame if this was a reboot. Thankfully it's not.
