Right. Iron Man "Three" gives me great confidence.
I liked `tors. Wasn't half as bad as the AVP nonsenses.

@EyePatchLives I'd take Brody instead of Tatum for any movie. ANY. 
1) Lenovo Legion 7 (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3080 16Gb, 32Gb DDR4, SSD 1TB +2TB
2) SFFPC (streaming via Moonlight+ Sunshine)

But only if he teamed up with the predator for 23 (Interstellar) Jump Street.

"Copies 1:1"
You mean it's a genre parody film as well? O rly? Which one?
Or you mean they die one by one, so it's copy 1:1? if so, yes, but that's quite formulaic for horror survival flicks. If anything, the original turned the military macho genre on its head and transformed it completely to a horror-survival genre very effectively. Predators was a much simpler accomplishment in that regard, it was a typical by the book horror survival, but still had redeeming qualities for me that made it OK for me.

Predators had a great ensemble cast, a script with enough wit to sustain 90 minutes and a director with a solid understanding of the genre.
AVP completely shat all over the existing mythology, had a Predator making friends with the hero, a PG-13 rating and Paul "not the good one" Anderson at the helm.

since these movies are all one-off and self-contained anyway, i dont really care if its a 'reboot' just for the sake of taking the original movies name, just as long as its not a remake. there is only one Dutch.

as i said, each movie was basically its own unconnected entity (only keeping the same mythology) so makes no sense to start again... but i wonder if they'll call it predator: SOMETHING, or just do what i initially assumed they would; do their own thing, but just call it 'predator', so that its both recognisable and newcomers wont be put off thinking they're coming into something mid-franchise.
either way, dont really care. i enjoy predator, look forward to seeing what they can do with it. i think id actually lke to see them do a film set WAYYY back in the past. imagine medieval knights vs predators... especially with a hard R rating, that would be awesome. could mix in some of the usual traditional religious belief stuff trying to rationalise what the predators are, perhaps the knights going on a 'quest' much in the same way there were those quests to fight dragons in legends, perhaps a group of knights are tasked with defeating a 'demon' and they go on a journey, getting picked off one by one as they get close, by a group of predators or something.... man... that would be a film id want to watch...

Some OMG Shane Black is the bestest filmmaker of all time and this movie will be amaziiiiiiiiing talk by one of the producers.
Quote: | “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. 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.”
“Shane’s got a writing partner, Fred Dekker. 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.” |

The reason I'm posting this at all is to confirm it's still alive.

Best thing that can be said about IM3 is that at least it was not IM2
But yeah, let's have it.
It's not like there's the chance of it being worse than blolololomkamp's future alien movie, right?
