Hollywood is now the land of reboots and remakes as it seems they no longer are willing to take a chance on new material, so every past successful film and TV show is being mined for material these days. The latest was announced today as Fox will be rebooting Predator with writer/director Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Monster Squad) hired to direct. More details after the break.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, The ’80s action classic Predator is getting the reboot treatment from 20th Century Fox.
Shane Black (pictured right) 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.
John Davis, who produced the original with Joel Silver and Lawrence Gordon, is producing the reboot.
Predator is the muscle-bound action 1987 movie that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura as commandos being stalked in a jungle by a fearsome alien. John McTiernan directed the film, which was one of the movies that cemented Schwarzenegger’s star power.
So stick this in your hat as another needless Hollywood remake that will probably make tons of money, only to usher in more needless reboots.
