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.”

Dammit...stop. Predator is already perfect.

Everybody has already forgotten about Robocop, and Total Recall reboots. Why does Hollywood think this will be any different? The originals are classics. Don't frick with them.

Shane Black could do a fantastic job with certain types of movies. I don't see Predator as being one of them.
Now, if they announced he had been hired to make Deadpool, I could get behind that.

I liked the Adrian Brody Predators movie and would rather them just continue with that.

He wrote the original one, didn't he?

Why does it need a reboot? Just rerelease the original.

I don't like this but Shane Black wrote one of my favorite movies, The Monster Squad, but he also fricked up one of my favorite superheroes, so I'll wait and see.

What's the over/under that The Rock will star?

I'm not mad that Shane Black has been tapped as the director and writer. I think he's fantastic.
Aside from dropping the ball with Iron Man 3 (even though it was actually enjoyable, it was a pretty bad movie), this is the same guy who did Lethal Weapon, The Last Boyscout, the Long Kiss Goodnight, Last Action Hero, and the unbelievable Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
My thing is: Stop with the reboots.

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).
Getting Fred Dekker to write the script is a great move. Dekker did a great job with House and Night of the Creeps

fricking frick

If he can pick two muscle-bound action heroes that will both become Governors I'm in. Otherwise, please expound on the franchise or get these no-idea burnouts out of executive positions. Enough already. This is like redoing First Blood.
And regardless, it won't kill my love for the original-but it will use a blimpload of cash to not spend on an original idea.

Perhaps the most hated director in the comic book universe
Most hated? Was Iron Man 3 really that bad?
What's a shame is Shane Black has more talent that to be wasting his time with comic book movies.
