“You’ll never see him coming.”

Twentieth Century Fox will hunt down The Predator on March 2, 2018.

Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad) penned the screenplay for director Shane Black (Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang).

We haven’t heard much since April when Producer John Davis exclaimed that the next Predator would reinvent the franchise.

We’ve been told it’s a direct sequel to John McTiernan’s 1987 Predator, although that has not been confirmed.

I’m just happy to see the franchise go in a new direction, again. Shane Black is an amazing writer/director, mostly because he understands how to develop memorable characters (I love that Tony Stark is the star of his Iron Man). Predator was all about the ensemble. Predators attempted to emulate this feeling and failed. If anyone can get back to the franchise’s roots, it’s Black.

I'm kinda hyped for this. Just sad it's not a follow up to Predators cause that movie was kinda amazing.

I agree I really liked Predators. Well even so I've always liked these movies and the monster/species.

I've been hearing about this for a while, and I'm pretty happy Shane Black is involved. I don't understand why Predator 2 always gets the sh*tty end of the stick, but I'm excited that another movie is coming out.

I liked Predators, but I wans't a fan of those super Predator things. They built them up to be bigger and meaner than the OG Predator, but they were about 50,000 times easier to kill in the end.

Wow, this came out of nowhere.

[AT-Man]

Excellent! I like Predators, but it's got nothing on the first and second. Let's hope the new one can challenge them.

Predators were somewhat rough, but not without its moments. Much better than the crap like AVP2. I hope new movie will concentrate on establishing some interesting characters, BEFORE starting to kill them.

Predator, you say?

I don't think I ever finished watching it.

Just turn up the brightness/contrast on your TV. Problem solved. Then you only have to live with yourself knowing that you just watched AVP: Requiem.

I read about it, I hope it happens, and i hope he's the main star in the movie and not just a supporting role or cameo.

I, for one, do not hope Arnold is the lead in the new Predator film.

Maybe a post-credits cameo (or just a cameo in general).

So it's a direct sequel to the first one? Cool. I've actually only seen the first one, haven't gotten around to the others yet.

I've got some buddies who worked on it.

I wouldn't get my hopes up.

After those details about DNA enhanced predators and a kid tagging along...I want to believe, it might be a good movie, but...

Honestly liked it. Is interesting that the avp films are canon (I guess just not alien canon) and we get an explanation for the super predator evolution as well as well as the name drop of yautji

I have to rewatch the firlm of course but

First > 2=THE Predator > AVP > Predators > AVP2

Saw it today. It was a lot of fun. The ending hints at a possible sequel too.

Here's a message from the victim herself.

Sexual abuse makes people uncomfortable. It should make you uncomfortable. This discomfort is nothing compared to the psychological and physical suffering of those who have dealt with it.

I was not able to speak for myself when I was 14. The consequences of this abuse are profound and permanent for some. When the abuse takes place with a child, it is even harder to overcome. You lose trust in everyone around you, and mainly yourself. Your abuse does not define you. With support from others and strength from within, you can overcome the label of victim and reclaim your identity.

Support can come in many forms. Sometimes all it takes is one person speaking up for you, acknowledging your worth as a human being. I am extremely fortunate to have a Father and Mother that love me unconditionally. My Father has supported me in my healing and growth in ways I cannot thank him enough for.

I am also eternally grateful for Olivia Munn’s action. She spoke up for me. She took a stance for me. In turn she stood for all who have suffered like I have. To be acknowledged by a stranger, on a public platform about this issue is incredibly empowering. The positive feedback from social media towards Olivia Munn is uplifting and feels incredibly supportive for me personally.

I have no shame for what was done to me. I am not the one who needs to carry that shame. My name is Paige Carnes, former Jane Doe.

I hope anyone who has suffered like I have regains their voice and their humanity.
