Okay, so the Studio are trying to make a big hoohah about the fact that this is neither a remake, a sequel nor a revisualisation, it’s a restart…or some other rubbish spin. Look, it’s a new Predator movie, and if it’s not set in the jungle fighting that creature with a bunch of Commando’s then it’s not a remake, but it’s still a re-bloody something!
Comic Book Movie carry the gossip from Latino Review:
John Cena being offered a lead role in the new upcoming rumored Predator Movie. The Predator Movie is not a remake, sequel, prequel, it is merely a restart.
“Twentieth Century Fox are in talks with Johnny McTiernan to do a new Predator film – not a sequel, not a remake, not a prequel; more of a restart. There’s talk – based on a treatment that’s floating around the traps – that it might fix on Dutch’s (the guy from the first film, Arnie played) grown-up commando kid.”
Actually, checking back to February the 9th I find the exact same story on our very own Movie Blog, and the exact same quote from Freeze Dried Movies…Nothing new here, just the Net regurgitating stories and probably without proper credit. Geez, at least change the quote!
