    Last year came the exciting news that writer/director Shane Black ("Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," "Iron Man 3") had re-teamed with his "Monster Squad" co-writer Fred Dekker on a revival of the "Predator" franchise for 20th Century Fox which the pair had been working on since 2014.

    Things have been fairly quiet since then, until yesterday when the studio used the franchise's official Facebook page to drop a new poster image which was posted with the caption "Here we go again, bro," and seems to include and what appears to be the new film's title - "The Predator".

    At last indication this is NOT a reboot of the films, but will serve as something of a refresh. Producer John Davis said in an interview a while back: "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.'"

    Black is no stranger to the "Predator" franchise, having starred in the original 1987 John McTiernan film as the character of Hawkins and having reworked some of its script. He will direct the project from a script by Dekker based on a story they both came up with.

    Yeah I know but I've seen how that works out in other situations, so i just figured I'd throw the question mark....

    Why can't a movie be made that has only Predators in it?... bestow a culture upon them.....make it interesting, make it emotional!

    The human hunting is only interesting to a degree. *rhetorical question

    In the trailer, is that the kinda trashy metal-armed bad guy from Logan? I thought he was good in that movie.

    Yeah, he was good in Narcos too.

    I like Shane Black, I'm down for this.

    As soon as I saw there was a KID in the movie I had MAJOR doubts.

    // Watched the trailer.

    // Doubts confirmed.

    :(

    This is what people get for complaining about Predator 2 (during the 90s and 2000s) and Predators (2010s), Neither one was perfect, but they were good, the first movie was a classic and is/was going to be hard to top. AVP was PG-13, that was the death blow right there. AVP:Requirem -- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
