Major 'Predator' Update

[WyldeMan45]

Well this sure as hell sounds interesting, maybe I spoke too soon against Rodriguez. But everything originally reported was a remake not a sequel, and this draft is over 15 years old. I've always wanted a movie set on the Predators home planet so this could be good. I will definitely wait for much more information before deciding on this now.

Seems Fox haven’t greenlit Robert Rodriguez’s original “Predators” script – well, they have, only it’ll be re-written by someone not-named-Robert-Rodriguez before it goes before the cameras. Did that make any ****ing sense at all!?

Bloody Disgusting says screenwriter Alex Litvak has been hired to rehaul Rodriguez’s “Predator” sequel (yes, you heard right – it’s a sequel, not a remake) script.

Rodriguez's initial screenplay for "Predators", which he wrote in the early 90s on spec, saw Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger's character from the original 1987 film) being transported to the Predator's home world. There, Dutch is thrown in prison with a bunch of other, er monsters who are all being prepped to battle one another in a sort of Celebrity Deathmatch.

I imagine Litvak‘s main task is to rewrite a couple of the characters – largely that of Dutch. Not to say Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t/can’t make an appearance in the film as the Cigar-smoking jungle hero, but it probably goes without saying that he’s not going to be headlining the film. Might Litvak replace Dutch with Mike Hartigan, the character Danny Glover played in “Predator 2”? Not quite as juicy as Arnold, but it’s a much friendlier option than having Steven Pasquale reprise his role as Dallas from “Aliens vs. Predator : Requiem”, right?

Litvak was a co-producer “The Hunting Party”, a wonderful little flick my buddy Richard Shepard directed. The former’s first screenplay, “Medieval”, is currently in development at New Regency.
