Shane Black to Write and Direct Predator Reboot!
Source: The Hollywood Reporter, June 24, 2014
The Hollywood Reporter today brings word that Iron Man 3 and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's Shane Black will write and direct a Predator reboot for 20th Century Fox!
According to the trade, Black is directing and writing the treatment for the film, which will then be scripted in full by Fred Dekker (with whom Black worked on Monster Squad).
Black has had a long history with the Predator franchise, having cameoed in the 1987 original. Directed by John McTiernan, Predator starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the leader of a United States special forces team that comes under attack from an alien entity that prizes the thrill of the hunt above all else. It was followed by a direct sequel, Predator 2, in 1990 before crossing over with Fox's Alien franchise for two additional sequels, Alien vs. Predator and AvP: Requiem. In 2010, Nimrod Antal helmed a reboot with a new feature, Predators.
There's no word on the extent to which the new film will tie into the existing franchise, nor is there any confirmation as to when this reboot might fit into Black's schedule. He's planning to shoot The Nice Guys from his own original screenplay as early as this fall and remains attached to Columbia Pictures' Doc Savage. Check back for further details as they become available.
John Davis is attached to produce with Matt Reilly overseeing for Fox and Ira Napoliello overseeing for Davis Entertainment.

Shane Black Confirms That His Predator Will be a Sequel
Source: Collider, June 25, 2014
Big news broke yesterday with the reveal that Shane Black has plans to "reboot" 20th Century Fox's Predator. Today, the Iron Man 3 writer and director (not to mention star of the John McTiernan original) tells Collider that his film does, indeed, tie to franchise continuity.
"Why start over, when you've all this rich mythology yet to mine?" Black says, adding that he can, "...really get behind inventive sequels."
Black will be directing the new film and writing the treatment, which will then be scripted in full by Fred Dekker (with whom Black worked on Monster Squad).
Das stimmt, deshalb hatte ich ja auch "in einer Sache" geschrieben.Wallnuss hat geschrieben:So schön die Spitze auch ist, aber die PG 13 und CGI-Befürchtungen entkräftet das nicht wirklich.
Aber mal im Ernst: Warum hier plötzlich solche Befürchtungen? Shane Black ist einer der besten Autoren auf diesem Genre-Gebiet, hat so einige der Klassiker dieses Forums verfasst und sich zudem auch als Regisseur bewiesen. Warum also an ihm zweifeln? CGIs werden gewiss verwendet - so wie ja gar auch bei den "Expendables" heutzutage - und selbst "Predators" hatte ein "R"-Rating. Ich persönlich denke, in Black kann man durchaus ein gewisses Vertrauen setzen...
Naja, dazwischen muss er erstmal sehen wie der (IMO zehnmal interessantere) "The Nice Guys" ankommt. Warte aber erstmal weitere News ab bevor ich in Vorfreude oder Gewimmer angesichts des neuen "Predator"-Films ausbreche.StS hat geschrieben:Naja, die "Predator"-Franchise ist nun nicht gerade ne "Goldgrube" für die Studios - und Black hat nen Mega-Hit hinter sich: Ich denke, da wird man ihm schon nen gewissen "Entscheidungsspielraum" zugestehen...
Zum Thema CGI: Ist jetzt nicht unbedingt ungewöhnlichen aktuellen Sci-Fi-Filmen, "Predators" war beispielsweise auch kein Film der handgemachten Effekte.

We’re just writing a treatment and a script now, and I would have an option to direct. We took the existing mythology of Predator. What we’re tasked with is expanding and exploring the Predator universe to make a sequel that gets us all excited again about that world – that gets the same kind of excitement that we had for it at the outset, with the first Predator. That’s the goal. I think the fans will be pleased with what we have planned.”

Predator Sequel Still on Track with Shane Black, Script Nearly Complete
A year ago, the news broke that Shane Black (Iron Man 3, Lethal Weapon) had targeted a reworking/”inventive sequel” to 20th Century Fox’s Predator. So what progress has been made in the year since? According to Collider‘s recent interview with producer John Davis, writer/director (not to mention co-star of John McTiernan’s original) Black is still fully engaged to making the Predator sequel, despite having filmed the 1970’s-set noir The Nice Guys with Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe and the Amazon spaghetti western pilot “Edge” in the interim.
“Shane shot a movie and he’s doing a pilot now, but I’ve read a lot of his script and I think it’s genius,” Davis said. “I think it’s genius and I think it’s entertaining, and what it did is recreate a famous franchise in a different, interesting way; looking at it from a different light. He’s just an amazing writer-director. He’s got a way of looking at this that makes you excited again. I love this franchise. It was the first movie I ever did. I remember in being in the jungle with Arnold [Schwarzenegger] as a 28-year-old and going, ‘This is a fun business!’…Shane’s amazing. He’s an amazing storyteller.”
Black will be directing the new film and is writing the treatment that will tie in to franchise continuity, with the full script being supplied by his longtime pal Fred Dekker, with whom Black worked on Monster Squad.
“Shane’s got a writing partner, Fred Dekker,” Davis continued. “They’ve been doing it together and Fred’s great. The two of them together, they’ve been in the business for a long time, but the writing is so fresh, the perspective is so fresh. I’m telling you you’re going to get something you don’t expect and you’re going to say, ‘This is the most entertaining way to reinvent a franchise.’ I mean he’s the guy who wrote ‘Iron Man 3.'”
