McTiernan to do new Predator film?

[Torgo]

The following is strictly RUMOR at this point. I shall be watching it closely to see if it gets debunked.

Smells like BS to me. Mostly with the way he phrases what the film will be. I hate to break it to ya', but if it focuses on Dutch's kid, then it's still technically a sequel and not a restart. A restart would be more along the lines of Batman Begins.

However with the success of AVP: Alien vs. Predator last year, I wouldn't be surprised if Fox is trying to get the Predator back on his feet. Getting McTiernan back would be a smart move, since the original was undisputedly the best of the three films, but I remember all the talk of Ridley Scott and James Cameron teaming up to do Alien 5, and that looks like it'll never happen.

McTiernan did a great job with the first one, if this is true, I would like to see what he can do with a new one. One thing would absolutely seal the deal for me though: A cameo by Arnold.

I wasn't very impressed by AVP so I'm hoping something better comes along for this franchise... I'm just hoping they keep Vin Diesel FAR away from this. I could just see some of the clowns in Hollyweird thinking "He'd be great to play Arnold/Dutch's kid"...NO he wouldn't.

Well I'm not a big Predator fan, that's all.

I read that at Dark Horizons. Kinda bums me out because I had a nice idea for a Fanfiction with the Dutch character plotted in my head. I'm still going to write it but if this rumor is true it might not jive with continuity.
