Shane Black Directing Predator Sequel!

[dude stannis]

I love that they've found a guy who is actually more sinister than a Predator lol.

 

[dark_b]

what if Del Toro is hunting the predator? Shane Black could make it work. but there would be a lot of complaining months before the movie opens.

 

[dude stannis]

Why? Gary Busey hunted Predators too.

 

[-JKR-]

Woah!

According to The Hollywood Reporter and Variety all the original producers, including Joel Silver and Lawrence Gordon, are back again for Shane Black's new movie.

I can't wait for this baby to be in theaters. I'm pumped. Great news with Del Toro. He's not typically a star in big blockbusters, so that's a nice change of pace.

Pretty obvious Shane Black is trying to connect this to the MCU and Del Toro is playing the Collector, looking to add a Predator to his collection.

Now I really want to see a Predator with lithe and swift movements like the one in the first film again. If they can bag Andy Serkis for doing the Predator now, I'll be over the moon

I would hope they make an effort to get Ian Whyte back from AVP/R. He really did a great job in AVPR, despite being in a poor movie. But the suit actors in Predators were DREADFUL. Absolutely terrible.

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

BDT would be awesome as the main star

 

[Fallen Angel]

Now if James Franco get's cast I'm fine with it. He can be the comedic element of the team who gets slaughtered first.

Oh crap, with Shane Black involved, I can see him trying to be "clever" and making the real Predator a human this time hunting actual Yautja

Del Toro isnt a star. But you can certainly imagine him first being quality actor and the second a certain badass. Few weeks ago I wondered who could they cast for the main role. And I just kept wondering there really isnt there a guy who isnt a movie star, but you can see him working for this kind of role.

You certainly dont want "action star" going against Predator. Specially typecasts. For me that's easy and cheap route. On other hand you dont want big star or known guy, cause you will get in situation watching Brad Pitt vs Predator and not character Quinn Mackenna or whatever his name is going toe to toe vs Predator.
And on the third hand you dont want to get in situation in what Predators did. To cast next Adrien Brody's of this world to go against Predator. Or Topher Grace's etc. And Franco would likely be that. I mean it's hard to cast a new main character, specially one who could actually continue Arnold's legacy and carry that franchise. For me Del Toro fit the bill. He is up-and-coming, he match certain look or I can imagine him do, and this could be his breakthrough role.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Del Toro classed as an up and coming actor and this being his break through role?

The man has been in the game for a while and is an Oscar winner.

Up and coming? Break-through role? I legitimately laughed at that.

Del Toro has been around since the 90's. Hell, the 80's if you want to include his bonkers role in License to Kill. He's been incredible in Che, Fear and Loathing, the Usual Suspects, Traffic, and the list goes on. He's unconventional but he's not some new dude who sprang up out form no where.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I laughed so hard, I had to write it down on my diary.

 

[Octoberist]

It's so darn sincere too. God bless you, Neno_Kos.

 

[elgaz]

Neno_Kos, famous up and coming hype-poster

He/She has a point though, none of the Predator film leads (Danny Glover included) have been able to match Arnie. I dunno if anyone ever will. Arnie's mixture of physicality, screen presence and his characterisation in the film as the strong but relatively quiet leader type just worked perfectly in the first Predator film.

I think if you wanted a modern take on that, the Rock is about the only guy who can fill those boots nowadays. Arguably bigger now than Arnie was, charismatic as hell but can pull off the disciplined and virtuous leader who commands loyalty from his team.

 

[Guts]

Oh crap, with Shane Black involved, I can see him trying to be "clever" and making the real Predator a human this time hunting actual Yautja

Just like dude stannis said, Gary Busey also hunted predators.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

BDT? Uh, yes please.

 

[Asr]

I'm officially excited for this now with BDT in front of the camera and Shane Black behind it. And I think I read somewhere that the original producers are on board as well, so the only obstacle from it being a good movie will likely be FOX.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Predator on IMAX screens? Yep , you're gonna see it.

http://variety.com/2016/film/global...the-predator-to-get-imax-releases-1201871496/

“Maze Runner: The Death Cure,” “The Predator,” “Alita: Battle Angel” and Fox’s untitled Marvel movie will all be presented in IMAX giant screen format under a newly renewed deal between the two companies.
The deal was described as the “re-upping (of an) existing long-term partnership,” and as a “multi-picture agreement,” potentially opening it up to cover other films. The duration of the renewed deal was disclosed.

Each film will be digitally re-mastered using proprietary IMAX technology.

He also has an Oscar as well.

 

[TheVileOne]

And he's 49.

 

[dude stannis]

Toby Stephens is only just now making real waves in Hollywood at 47. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

And yes, I'm IMAXing the **** outta this on my birthday.

Exclusive: Benicio Del Toro drops out of Shane Black's 'Predator' http://thr.cm/eUt74u

Benicio Del Toro will no longer be hunting aliens, but Twentieth Century Fox is targeting a new hunter.
Del Toro has fallen out of negotiations with Fox to star in The Predator, the reboot of the alien action movie series that Shane Black is directing for 20th Century Fox, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.
Details of the parting of ways were not revealed.
But Fox is not sitting idly and has already pinpointed its new lead: Boyd Holbrook


While Holbrook does not have the star power Del Toro has, Fox is planning on beefing up the supporting cast. And the rising actor does have plenty of love and support from the studio itself: he has appeared in three Fox movies in the last two years, the latest one being Logan, the X-Men spin-off in which he is the movie’s villain. (Gone Girl and Morgan are the other two.)
Casting Del Toro in Predator was a challenge from the beginning. The actor and the studio danced for months around this project, with one obstacle being Del Toro's schedule (among the project that he was supposed to shoot was a sequel to Sicario). The studio even pushed back the start date to February in order to accommodate the actor. Sources say scheduling issues again became a problem when del Toro's other movies rejigged.
