The Predator Reboot Will See This Major Change To The Classic Character

For a franchise that really only has a couple of proper installments, the Predator films have a strong following. When Shane Black announced his intention to direct the next film in the series, most fans were cautiously optimistic. However, when franchises change hands, it’s a forgone conclusion that some things will change. Black has now begun to speak about how his film, The Predator, will be different from its predecessors. The primary change will be cosmetic, as the Predator costume is getting changed up.

The original Predator was designed by legendary Hollywood makeup effects creator Stan Winston, the man responsible for everything from Terminator 2: Judgement Day to John Carpenter’s The Thing. Over the decades, the Predator has become as iconic as any of them. As such, it might be concerning to some fans that the look is going to be changed. However, Shane Black tells ComingSoon that he won’t be the first to make changes to the original design, and it doesn’t sound like he’ll be doing anything drastic to it.


In the end, we’d have to agree with Shane Black. The story is going to be the key to the film. Whether the changes to the lead monster are extensive or "organic" is less important than the question of whether or not the narrative is any good. Sure, some fans will nitpick minor modifications, but if the movie is good, it will be easier to overlook those things, and if the story is bad, strict adherence to the classic character won’t change that.

We’re certainly looking forward to getting our first look at the new Predator. If both the look and the technology are getting changed up a bit, then The Predator will have several new surprises for us. Are you excited to see them?

Old, but still kinda funny:

Great, another reboot of a reboot of a sequel. Maybe they can just save us some time and merge it with another reboot like they did with the Aliens. They are talking about doing yet another Transformers- so maybe Trans/Predator. Part alien, part robot and he is confused about his sexuality. Sounds terrific!

As long as it's allowed to use whatever maintenance bay it wants.

It's going to be impossible to match the dialogue of the first movie.

True.


Have you ever seen the original suit?

Wow, they made the correct changes.

The Predator they decided on was awesome.

The more I think about this, the stupider it gets.


The original is going to be impossible to match. Christ, that casting was perfect, the dialogue was perfect, and the action was perfect.


If you want to make a movie like Predator, go for it, just don't attach the name.

Totally. Original was a classic. I'd probably still see whatever they do though.

This!

If anyone can do it, it's Shane Black.

But will it have an all female lead cast??

If they combine this with the Ocean's 14 idea, I might just be interested.

"Predator did these ladies wrong. Now, it's payback time."

The can heist all of the Predator's skull trophies.

I thought the last reboot did a pretty good job. Predators was good. Of course not near the level of the original but nothing will be. Surprised they dropped that reboot so fast to start ANOTHER reboot.

Let's reboot, the reboot of a reboot!

I dont know why people get all pissy over reboots. it doesnt take anythign away from the original. Worst case senario is it sucks and you lose 90 min of watching a movie. We have all watched many crappy movies.

For me, with movies, if they are half ass entertaining i am fine with it. If it sucks. ill just shut it off.

These modern day Predators are have become even more bad ass.

I'd say more bad ass than the 1%ers.

Excellent point.

A movie works or it doesn't. This isn't 1970, 1980 or 1990, in which we all went to the movies completely blind. Back in those days, the "critics" were almost anti-movie, so reading a good review of a fun a blockbuster movie was nearly non-existent.

There are dozens of reviews online before a film like this even opens, so you can make your decision to see it well in advance.

I agree for the most part. But reboots to push an agenda (see: Ghostbusters volume: feminism) is ****ing irritating. Mostly because it seems as though EVERYTHING is trying to push an agenda.

Tell a good story - it doesn't matter what it is - and I'm in. Set out to "educate" the audience, **** you.

I'm not anti remake - I'm anti bad remake. If I like movie X, and Hollywood churns out a half dozen increasingly inferior and less profitable rehashes of "X" then eventually the money guys will decide "People just don't like X anymore."

**** Hollywood for churning out so many shitty movies.

**** the brain dead audience for rewarding them by continuing to go see so many shitty movies.

It seems as if reboots are generally not good movies.


When people see "reboot" they already expect shit because that is generally what happens.


There are exceptions, of course.

The important question is whether it's an all-female production.

There are far more 'Poltergeist' type remakes than 'Ocean 11' types.

I'm a fan of all things Predator. I've even read all of the AVP books.

Predators had a really great premise but they kind of missed the mark on it. I have to say I wasn't a fan of the new race of predators. I'm also not a fan of Adrien Brody and Topher Grace or whatever their names are..

I am guessing the Predator will be a transgender lesbian Mexican to fit in with the PC crowd.

I thought Predator 2 was a huge missed opportunity...loved the premise and that movie still holds a special place in my heart even though it's panned across the board.

Anyways...The Rock has to be the lead in this.....right?

Predator 2 was great, it did not have the iconic lead star like Arnold. It gave us tons of new toys like the spear, net gun, disc for the predator.

Predators was good as it gave us another more badass race of predators. Wish they were doing a sequel off of this. Maybe have the two remaining hook up with a new group of killers including Arnold to get off world.

The ones I did not like were the AVPs as they were not rated R. Outside of the Predator with the dual shoulder cannons they were lame.

Speaking of missed opportunities, AVP really blew it. The Preds looked like 7' dwarves with all the gear in AVP. Not to mention 2 of the 3 died within the first 3 minutes of meeting the aliens.

Requiem atoned for the Preds a bit but it was so ****ing dark you couldn't see shit.

Get to the choppa!

I always thought the rumored premise for Predator 3 (Arnold and Danny Glover teaming up) sounded ****ing rad...

That's the reason he was cast by the execs in the original to oversee the film so McTiernan wouldn't **** it up

I liked Predators, and I wouldn't have minded seeing a continuation of that story. I kinda though AVP was pretty much shit. Predator 2 grew on me over the years, but when I first saw it, I hated it. Just seemed stupid for some reason.

Meh. I'll check this one out. What the hell right? It's not like they are remaking Ghostbusters or some shit...

Anyone else seen this? Not bad for a fan made flick...

That was actually pretty impressive! There are big release movies that are not as good IMO.

Interesting twist on the Predator story as well...always thought it'd be interesting for a Predator movie to take place during WWII or Vietnam or something like that.

They're drawn to conflict and Predator showed us that they've been hunting our planet for centuries at least..

Might as well go ahead and drop them off at Thermopylae while we're at it. Feudal Japan maybe.
