You know what there’s not enough of? Films about really old men titting around in the woods with an invisible alien that looks like Whoopi Goldberg.
If you happen to agree with us then you’re in for a treat – movie producer John Davis has decided to revive the Predator franchise. Not just that, but he wants to bring back the biggest star of any of the Predator movies at the same time. That’s right – Gary Busey.
No, wait, not Gary Busey. Arnold Schwarzenegger. John Davis wants to make Predator 3, and he wants Arnold Schwarzenegger to star in it. Predator 3 is far from official, mind you, because nobody knows what Arnold Schwarzenegger’s long-term political goals are. Also, we assume it’ll probably be quite hard to find anyone clever enough to write a film where the universe’s most advanced game hunters have trouble outwitting a rich old bloke with a funny accent.
It’s now completely fine for older actors to return to their action movie roots. Everyone’s doing it – Bruce Willis made Die Hard 4, Harrison Ford made Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull and Sylvester Stallone’s entire retirement plan seems to involve running through the jungle and firing a machine gun into the air until his knees eventually give out.
But there’s one action star who hasn’t chosen to do that – Arnold Schwarzenegger. Rather than, say, take the easy option and make Conan The Incontinent, Arnold Schwarzenegger has decided to concentrate on his job as Governor or California – a task that involves nothing more than tutting about the paparazzi and making horribly smug tourism adverts sometimes.
But as thrilling as recommending state legislation is, there has to be a part of Arnold Schwarzenegger that misses the old days. The days where all he had to do was frown and explode people in an impenetrable European accent and people would give him a million dollars.
That’s what producer John Davis is hoping, anyway. He’s got it in his head to make Predator 3 and, more than anything else, he wants Arnold Schwarzenegger to be in it. Davis told Collider:
“Well, the Governor has mentioned to me that when he ceases to be Governor, if he doesn’t run for the Senate and all of that stuff, he’d like to do a movie or two again. And I don’t know, maybe we could restart the Predator franchise… We’d have to come up with a really good script and a really great angle on it.”
What? No you wouldn’t. You wouldn’t need a great script for Predator 3 at all. We’ve seen Predator 2, Alien Vs Predator and Alien Vs Predator: Requiem, so we’re pretty sure that if you got a Romanian badger with learning difficulties do draw a picture of an explosion in wax crayon on a sheet of used toilet paper, it’d still probably qualify as the best Predator script that’s been written for 20 years.
Let’s be honest, though. Just because Arnold Schwarzenegger could make Predator 3, it doesn’t mean that he should. By the time he finishes his next term as Governor he’ll be 64 years old, and we just can’t see how that could make Predator 3 any good. We’ve looked at this from all angles, and here are the only ways that Predator 3 with Arnold Schwarzenegger could possibly work.
1 - The Predator has given up hunting for a life of conning the elderly out of their savings by fraudulently posing as a wall insulation salesman… but he picked the wrong vulnerable old man in Arnold Schwarzenegger.
2 - Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Predator decide their fate by having a Sudoku-off.
3 - Rather than coat himself in mud, Arnold Schwarzenegger accidentally defeats the Predator’s heat-vision by popping his colostomy bag on a hot radiator, skidding about in the mess until he’s covered in it and lying there for three days in the cold waiting for one of his children to come and help him up again.
4 - Not making Predator 3 with Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Well, being a hardcore Predator fan I think they should leave the gov out of this one only because his plate is full and he is indeed old… Predator was awesome, but that is history. If they star Arnold in this next movie the Predator series will end up like the retarded Leprechaun series… The next Predator might as well be hunting poor bruthas in the ghetto in southwest Detroit starring Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope from Insane Clown Posse
Maybe Arnold can make a special cameo appearance but not the starring role. Let’s not ruin the Predator.
you are the most dumest person arnold is the BEST DAMN ACTOR IVE EVER SEEN YOU FUCKEN DUMASS
he is sick in he
: P aliens and predator are sick arnold should be in all of the films
I loved the last predator movie where he’s fighting the aliens. that was a pretty good match up but, the aliens weren’t anything to play with. if they ever battled again, I’d like the predators bring the noise to them a little harder. I think arnold, even if he was younger, is still a mistake. arnold is the old news and no where near, interesting enough to capture anybody’s attention now! sorry marie, you’re the only one that wants to see that body now! if the rumors about that brody guy are true. and he’s the new lead role for the new predator movie. than they can get ready for a big flop at the box office in 2010 or whenever they decide the release date will be. brody is not the right guy to carry a movie like that, he not a action guy, and predator is a action movie.
Ok, first off, they made the first two Alien movies, and the Predator movies, which were “Awesome” hands down. However when they made the other Alien movies, 3 & 4, they didnt make anything really new, I think they should of made another “Predator” before the AVP Movies. I know that they can do alot better than what they have made so far about the AVP Movies, and they say that they have done everything that they can do with it, then they need to talk to some of the video game designers and use some of their ideas from the games that everyone is playing. For example, AVP states “Who ever wins, we lose!” Uh-huh, but Lex lived, and the Predator dies = “False title on the movie” HELLO? Why is it that in all the movies, Alien or Predator, Humans live, uh-huh! Online battles between Aliens and the Predator clans are “Off the Hook!”(that is if you have ever been in one)! All “AVP” Fans, of the movies or all the games, can you imagine a movie or a series that doesnt have a lot of plot, but just as they have stated, “An all out melee war” between the species, a P.O.V. from all three?
Alright im guna start off by saying that the first predator movie blew my mind and that the second one was just as good, i reallie like the idea of the second movie and how the predator came to the states and merked everything that stood in its way with danny glover and Maria Conchita Alonso,I’m sitting here listening to Alan Silvestri’s predator 2 end tittle(predator’s anthem)while writing this at the same time.
billy theres something in those woods…
fuck you arse whore!
Listen, the only way a Predator 3 would be a good idea would be to revive the series. Teens nowdays dont even know what the Predator is and all they think about is the cheesy plotlines of Saw 6. We need a movie intervention, and sometimes bringing back old movies is just the way to do it. All movies are starting to get that same. The Devil Wears Prada looks alot like Halloween 2 to me, doesnt it? The point is, we need new original movies scripts (like Avatar) and sometimes the way to do that is to revive the old.
Predator I; freakin’ awesome….Predator II; ok….AVP I & II; half good/half lame….Predator 3 with a complete dime neck nerd as the lead role…come on?…what a joke….Brody makes me wanna smack him just for being himself…sad….just sad.
Are the producers/director just plain dickheads
Predator 1 was excellent because of the new type alien. Predator 2 was also excellent because we learned alot about the predator. All the other predator movies are cheap production, cheap cast movies. Predator 3 should be directed by somebody like Michael Bay or Steven Spielberg or James Cameron or Peter Jackson or Ridley Scott and produced by somebody like Jerry Bruckheimer or Robert Zemeckis. And for Gods sake get some REAL actors like Denzel Washington, Will Smith, Leonardo Dicaprio.
Hola a todos, despierten, quien fue y ha sido el mayor eroe de accion de todos los tiempos, no me interesa ni la edad ni la política yo quiro ver a arnold dandole una buena paliza a depredador como en los viejos tiempos.Depredador es una pelicula de ciencia ficcion completa una de mis preferidas.Depredador 2 ya no tuvo suficiente exito por la ausencia de schwarzenegger.Una predator 3 sin arnold seria lamentable.
P.D.
ARNOLD:QUE ES ESO QUE NOS PERSIGUE?
MUJER RAPTADA:SOLO SE QUE LO HIRIERON CUANDO SE LLEVO AL HOMBRE GRANDE,PORQUE VI SU SANGRE EN LAS HOJAS.
ARNOLD:SI TIENE SANGRE, PODEMOS MATARLO!
Hey there fellow Predator fans.Personnally ,I think the thought of a third movie is awasom.However,it should be both full of action and this time show a great deal more of the Predator race. Something like going back to their home world or further how man wants their technology ect.The first movie had its moments, I first saw it when I was around 9-10 years old. The second movie I really looked forward to when it came out in theatres.But, my favorite part of the film is from when the predator attacks the subway car and on. In addition, I always thought it would have been really cool if Danny Glover stayed on the craft. Whatever happens, I am always looking forward to another Predator movie.

I’m a huge Predator fan! I loved the first movie the most, probably because the whole concept was new to us and it was ahead of it’s time. The second movie was cool in the sense that we learned more about the Predator’s weapons and tactics. It also had some good fight scenes like the Penthouse, Subway etc… They were successful in part because they kept it in perspective. The Predator is supposed to be a superior combatant to any human. They are much faster, stronger, and have much better weaponry. In the first movie, the predator was clearly dominating the fight. He lost because he walked into a trap (which could have happened to a human as well). In part two, the Predator died by his own weapon (strange how Danny figured out how to use it so fast though). Regardless, at least it was a tough battle and in both, the Predators killed many before they died.
The AvP series were disappointments in my opinion. The first AvP made the Predators inferior to their favorite prey, the Aliens. 2/3 Predators were quickly eliminated near the beginning, then the third gets caught by a face hugger and he doesn’t know that they lay eggs inside? Ok…whatever. Ofcourse, I was not thrilled with the cast in the first place. The one thing that I liked about the Requiem movie was that they once again empowered the Predator. No dumb human teenager was going to take this Predator down. The plot and cast sucked in my opinion.
They need to carefully select the cast and for god’s sake, use a good actor (Will Smith etc). I liked Arnold in the first, but it’s true that he is a bit old to re-star in a new one. They need to make the predator kick ass for most of it. How they end it could go anywhere, but they need to keep in mind that the Predators are supreme hunters that should not be easily out-clevered by their prey.
One thing I have always wondered…They must have a different type of Predator or different species in their planet that actually makes their technology…just seems strange that they can be so precise with those big hands!
Which ever way it goes, I can’t wait to see what they come up with!!

Hello guys i think they should make another predator film but of course reinvent it alittle like what Chris Nolan did for Batman, i mean it was cheesy untill Chris made it awesome!
it should be directed by somebody who can make the film scary and badass at the same time. somebody mentioned Michael Bay, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson. which to be honest they would ruin Predator if they directed. Michael Bay would have it all special effects everywhere and Spielberg would be the same not to mention itll be cheesy like hell!!! i mean nearly every film them 2 have made have been cheesy ><. and Peter Jackson well i think he should keep on track with the Hobbit otherwise well see good old Pred dancing around with fairys lol.
Also find some actors with talent! if anyone casted someone like leonardo decap id find the director and punch him! and Will Smith thats just no, just a bloody great no lol. Christian Bale can do the action man and still act awesomely, mind you i think people will still think of John Conner if he played a part in pred 3.
Also i think Predator 3 should be based in the future like Aliens (i know lets leave aliens out of it) have them fight the Marines or something thatll be good.
Well just as long as they dont set it in Antartica where for some reason an average human woman can withstand -42 degrees c. Aweful actors and have random slow mos when they jump in the air (avp was crap for that uuughhh!!!!) then it should be watchable.
Anywho Pred 3 happens i know ill be there on opening night.
J.Daniels
great view man…i guess christian bale should be left out of this as he seems to be in every other action movie these days and sam worthington too. well, how about “the rock”. may be he can re-invent the arnie magic.
They should make a movie, where the captive aliens on the predator homeworld escape and the predators have to find them or become extinct or something like that would be great since hardly any information has been given on them and their world even in books. Or for another alien movie, the “Space Jockeys” the dead alien race as seen in Alien and Alien’s, show how they went dead from the aliens. For Schwarzenneger maybe they could do something where the Predators capture a large amount of people for breeding purposes and since he knows them and their tactics tries to fight them and take control of the ship (maybe the rest of the predator clan are out hunting aliens or something). Just a few ideas.
bran is retard arnold is a good actor. he is better then any actor i know. yea he is getin older but he is still THE BEST DAMN ACTOR IVE EVER SEEN
arnold made predator 2, aliens vs perdator 1 and 2 look like dogshit compered to perdator 1 because he wasnt in those ones
yeah man…a double yeah…
Dude, you are too aggressive on this one, relax. Predator is a great movie for those who saw it back in 80′s, for the 80′s generation. And even though you seem to not like Arnold, the movies he stared it, you all have to agree upon this, are great!
And yes he is too old for Predator.
And for a final mark here is a link about Predators, to shut this subject about Arnold and stuff:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424381/
Why would you say something as nasty and mean as the
comment, that the Predator looks like Whoopie Goldberg?

Man, the Predator was awesome. Predator-II was hmmm Ok. But don’t think Predator 3 would live up to our expectations. Well, as every die hard fan would love to see, me too want Arnie to once again blast those predators off this planet.
What the hell just do it, I kinda wana see Schwarzenegger fight the predator again.
I LIKE TO SEE MORE ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER IN HIS MOVIES AND I LIKE TO SEE IN THE FUTURE TO MAKE A OTHER PREDATOR THREE AND THIS WILL BE GOOD BETTER THEN PREDATOR ONE AND MORE ACTION AND MORE ACTORS TO THANK YOU
I am a great fan of predator movies. I particularly liked predator 1 with Arnie. Predator 2 was fine as it followed on well on 1. I think predator three should follow from where predator left. I think in both predators we demonstrated that even though they are fast, intelligent and have all the weaponry to survive, human beings are still far more intelligent than any other species in the universe and can survive all sorts of disastors and including invasion by aliens. Another interesting behaviour with the predator was that it always protected women in both movies. The story line could be an important scientist from a space facility has been missing for some time. Rumors have been that he is dead. Non of their families, friends and relations know their where abouts. The search has been on and when everbody was giving up, SOS signal starts beeping on the monitors at the facility. The signal, using state of art technonlogy, is discovered to be coming from outside the world. Predators on the hand have used the scientist to improve their weaponry and other survival techniques and are planning to make a major hunting safari to earths. Later in the movies when the team has started rescue mission it is discovered that when predators took their dead (Killed by Danny) they took with them the scientist (who was working with Gary Busey on how to capture and use the predator). A rescue team is assembled to (as in predator 1) and informed that their mission is to bring back the scientist. But what baffles them is why go to space ??? Any way they go in and tries to get the scientist. the only problem is the dont know what they will be dealing with? The main actor needs to a tough no nonsense person like Steve Austin or the Rock and a good director. The rest of the film could follow the same path like predator 1 except in an alien planet where the team tries to survive even though casualities occur in the process. The scientist could be a woman. Arnie and Danny can have cameo appearance as consultants on how to deal with the predators. The main battle there is humans want their fellow humans and predators want to retain the scientist as she aslo has crucial information about predator world that if shared, all predators become extinct.

This article made me piss my pants! Very funny. Do you have more like this?
please no cheap looking predators…first predator looked real..looked good…
SLY…….steve austin..the rock…i dint think so…lets stay serious..
I love twilight
what about continuing the story of the first predator movie , now Arnold is old and the predator are coming back to hunt in the cities or jungle and the US army needs his predator experience from the past to hunt down the predator … now that would be a great script isn’t that right ;o)
Age is against them, but I always thought predator 3 should have starred arnold and danny, as the predators would have been furious that they had been defeated by these two humans, making them the number one scalps to put in the trophy room.
