re: Predator New Sequel
To me, I don't know how I feel about it. On the one hand, I grew up with the original Predator and it's not so well received sequel when I was a kid. Predators was pretty good, and am surprised they didn't do a followup to that one. So, seeing that the original was practically perfect, I can't imagine who the hell would want to reboot it.
However, on the other hand, with Shane Black in the role of the director, I can imagine how well he can make the film. I mean, I've seen both Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and Iron Man 3. And both were really good (in fact, I like Iron Man 3 even more than the first two Iron Man films). The biggest concern I would have is that, with the case of both Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang and even more so with IM3, they were action comedies. Predator was action sci-fi without anything comedic about it. However, this affords Shane Black the opportunity to actually do something serious (not overtly serious, but serious enough to keep true to the tone and mood of the original).
Of course, that's just my opinion.
