Watched a recent youtube video, that goes into the backstory of the Flintlock that was handed to Danny Glover's character in Predator 2. Apparently they played around with the idea of setting a Predator Movie in the past, but could never figure out how to make it work. So all the ideas we as fans ever had, were considered, but they are too inept to make a movie about a nightmarish creature, that hunts men for sport and can only be defeated through ingenuity. So instead we got the AvP Movies and a rehash of Predator 1.
Anyway, the reason I am mentioning that video, is because in the latter half of the video, he talks about the leaked script that people found a year ago, and assumed was fake because it read like some terrible fan fiction. The only problem is that all the bits with the kid were unfortunately confirmed in the Trailers. There might have been some changes tough. For example, in the leaked script, the kid would [BLACKOUT]actually fly the Predator spacecraft at some point in the Movie.[/BLACKOUT] From what I heard, that won't make it into the Movie. Thank god.
The large Predator in the Movie is called Upgrade. He basically has [BLACKOUT]Wolf's role from AvP:Requiem. But instead of being a cleaner, he's an assassin. And his job is to hunt down dissident Predators.[/BLACKOUT] Remember the leaked images of Predators alongside the protagonists in the Tank? [BLACKOUT]Those are Predators that are actually working with the humans and are hiding in Area 52.[/BLACKOUT] Also there are [BLACKOUT]Predator hybrids in the script, that are released by Upgrade. Among them a three-legged Predator, Spider Predator and Predator Dog.[/BLACKOUT] With any luck, none of this will actually make it into the Movie, but I wouldn't be surprised if it stays in.
I really want to get a good Predator Movie, but depending how much of the original script stays intact, this might be the Prometheus/Covenant of the Predator franchise.
