    Re: Robert Rodriguez to reboot Predator.

    Let me guess, it's yet another prequel?

      I don't mind people doing a 'reboot' of a beloved franchise, though it works best when the last few movies SUCKED. So Predator doesn't fit that, but need I remind you of 007 and Batman?
      The last few Predator movies DIDN'T suck?

      He's not talking about remaking Predator, just rebooting it. We need a Predator reboot.

        not really, there's a reason why some actors perform well in some movies and suck in others. good directors can get an A-list performance out of a B-list or sometimes an even C-list talent.

I think you can see that in his films. They're full of energy but sometimes that energy is misguided.
              Totally agree with that. I think Once Upon a Time in Mexico really proved that. The movie had great energy, but it was a mess. And it wasn't just the shooting on that one. I know he scripted, edited and did the score and probably even did the cattering.

              He is a talented guy, but not so talented that he can stretch himself so thin without things suffering as a result. Once Upon a Time in Mexico really needed somebody else to edit, as there probably is a good movie burried in there somewhere.

              Having said that, if somebody can sneak some barbiturates into his Red Bull, I think he could turn in a great Predator movie.

                He should do it as a slavishly devoted shot-for-shot remake, like Psycho. And with the same cast.

                  The first Predator is GREAT! It's one of my favorite movies! I just don't see how they can top that.

                        No, it's an origin story of how the predator trained with the best predators of the galaxy to become the ultimate killing machine we know and love.

                          Especially the second one, which had a piss poor plot (say that three times fast, and I'll give you a dollar!!!). The first one was decent.

                            Well I was 9 years old when I saw Predator 2, so I might be remembering the movie as being better than it was. I've noticed that happening a lot lately - movies i loved as a kid just plane SUCK now.

                            But don't take away P2 from me. It was good, wasn't it? Wasn't it???

                              Wasn't his old idea to have the Preds capture Dutch and make him fight deathmatches with other aliens who managed to kill Predators?

                                Now that would have been a cool movie. It would have been nice to see Dutch visit their planet, and partake in their version of the Olympics. These days, with all the CGI trickery available, something like that could be done. We caught a glimpse of the Predators home planet in AVP 2, and it did look kinda cool. Sort of like a techno Aztec society.
