- Fox Rebooting 'Predator' With Shane Black (Exclusive)
The ’80s action classic Predator is getting the reboot treatment from 20th Century Fox.
But before some purists cry foul, they should know that this reboot comes with an interesting attachment: Shane Black, the venerable screenwriter behind Lethal Weapon and writer-director of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3.
Black will write the treatment for the project, then will hand over scripting duties to Fred Dekker, his university chum with whom he wrote 1987’s Monster Squad. Black will oversee the writing and is also attached to direct.
- Shane Black’s ‘Predator’ Will Be a Sequel
"While the initial report said that Black’s new ‘Predator’ film would be a reboot, Black tells us that he and Dekker see the project as definitely not a reboot, “As far as Fred and I are concerned anyway,” Black said, adding “Why start over, when you’ve all this rich mythology yet to mine?” Black said he doesn’t like reboots generally, but can “really get behind inventive sequels”, noting that he likes “the idea of expanding and exploring the existing ‘Predator’ mythology, rather than hitting the restart button.” He went on to say that Dekker, who’s writing the screenplay, is “perfect” for the project, adding the two had a blast writing the screenplay for ‘The Monster Squad’ together."
What do we think? What do we want? (WHEN DO WE WANT IT??)
Please, please, please don't let it be a reboot. It's just completely unnecessary. If anything, like the second part of the article mentions, there's so much more story they could expand on WITHOUT having to reboot. I honestly thought Predators was decent and was looking forward to whatever Predator faction warfare story was at play.

Absolutely love the series (apart from the AVP films), am totally stoked to see Predator get more attention, but like the above comment says, I do hope it builds off of Predators.
If they do do a reboot though and redo the whole "soldiers in the forest" thing, they're going to have to do it really fucking good, and will have to get a very good actor to fill in Arnold's shoes.
How about...

If it's just gonna be like the first two movies instead of making up something new I don't want to see it.
Sure, the old movies have some dated special effects but most action heroes of today are so boring compared to 20-30 years ago.

- Robert Rodriguez Not Involved in New ‘Predator’ Sequel
I was going to speculate that nobody would've even thought this, but I guess fans of Predators might. I suppose it doesn't rule out references to it, but I don't know that there's a lot anyone would worry about.
