Predators 2?

While this is far from the most conclusive bit of news one could receive on a sequel, Collider chatted with producer John Davis about his upcoming Mr. Popper’s Penguins, but they asked about the possibility of a sequel to the Nimrod Antal-directed, Robert Rodriguez-produced Predators reboot from last summer.

“Can’t see why if we can’t be clever we can’t reinvent it again.” Then Davis adds: “You have to keep changing the setting. You have to find a clever way to do it. If we were going to do it with Arnold; it was like, “Does it make sense to go back and to put him with a young team?” So maybe it’s 20 years later, you have retired, and you are the one person who has survived one of these encounters. Is that a reboot in the fact that you are in it with a group of young guys? Is that a reboot? You just have to figure out a way to reboot it. Rodriguez rebooted it. It’s all in the planet. The sequel to the first one rebooted it. We should’ve had Arnold in the movie. The deal broke down over $250,000, which is a shame. But it was moved from the jungle to the city. You have to create a freshness about it. When we did Alien vs. Predator we kind of rebooted it because we put the two pieces together. You just have to give it enough time to come up with a new freshness. It is what they did so brilliantly with Fast Five.”

Who would be down for this sequel?

I love film. That is all.
