    Thanks so much, this looks incredible. Will definitely buy this "Concrete Jungle" comic series. From doing a search, there appears to be a full-blown book in addition to the graphic novel. With any luck, hopefully the brother will explain what happened to Dutch Shaefer after the first film.

    Cool man, hope you can track it down. As I said, it came out not before Predator 2, and the story lines were very similar, in fact I remember sitting in the theater watching the movie and getting a distinct feeling of deja-vu. :D

    I wonder if in the 8th century B.C. people "The Odyssey? You have to be kidding, Homer. I know you are limited in your career because of blindness but this? Take this supporting character Odysseus from that Iliad epic-which doesn't even have the best part of the wooden horse. It takes him 10 years to sail home? One-eyed giants and sirens who turn men into sheep? Whirlpools and man eating monsters? A wife who waits patiently?"

    Don't know why the hold up in this franchise. There must be enough graphic stimuli and creative storyline to kick start this new Predator in the butt, and put this movie in motion.

    I've been saying this for years. Hollywood has become a bore. Rehash after rehash, oh joy.

    Benicio Del Toro in talks to star in this sequel it seems.

    He was excellent in The Hunter.


    What ever you do Shane Black don't make it a 12 certificate.

    Supposed to be out early 2018.

    Though apparently Arnold Schwarzenegger's passed on being involved.
    Said the scripts worse than Predator 2.

    Or maybe it's down to money? Shane has been on a role lately.

    Arnie really chastised Predator 2 when it came out. Can't believe Shane Black's script was that bad.

    I would agre. He's a pretty good writer. I went to UCLA with him and even then his work was stellar. He did an uncredited rewrite on Predator as I recall for Arnie and had a small role as well. Most of the witty dialog was his and I believe he did a clean up on the first act tightening it up. It's been years since I saw his rewrite though. Was always glad to see his success.

    Most studios are also afraid of an original project now. They are looking for sure things. There is no such thing, of course, but the studio thinks there is. This summer proved that.

    Btw.
    It's not a reboot, it's a sequel.
    The Predator.
    Supposed to take after P1 & P2.
    Really should have been called
    Predator 3.

    Well that's really nothing new the only difference is that these films that are being remade or rebooted stay in circulation and that there are LESS films being produced compared to,the 40's. That's like sequels--they've been around since the 30's beginning with sequels to horror films and mystery films with continuing characters. It's more not ie able now because we get saturated with the previous versions and they are much more noticeable because there are far less films being made. Having said that, there is a trend to do more sequels and remakes than before because the film biz is looking for a sure thing with as much money as these cost and everyone is looking for a tentpole film that will allow the studios the luxury of original films that take a risk as well.

    Fox pulled the plug on a big budget as Nice Guys didn't do well at the box office. Shane Black must be miffed.

    But what about 'Predators?' Where does it fit in? Or did I just imagine that one?
