Try try again! Fox is going to try to reboot the Predator franchise a second time after Adrien Brody failed to take off as an action hero (shocker) in 2010's version. They've hired Shane Black, he of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3 and also actual contemporaries of the original film's 80s hey-day rah-rah Action Movies like Lethal Weapon, to write and direct it - most interestingly though, he's going to be co-writing it with Fred Dekker of The Monster Squad fame!
Dekker & Black wrote The Monster Squad together so it's not entirely random; Dekker hasn't any credits on IMDb after 2002, when he worked on Star Trek: Enterprise. He's a bit of a horror geek icon though (although I never saw Monster Squad until a couple of years ago so I missed that boat) so I imagine there are some high-fives happening at the offices of Fangoria at this news. Team-work!

Wolfman's got nards!
Shane Black was in the first Predator as the character of Hawkins. He told the joke in the 'chopper.
Can we all just talk about how my inner nine-year-old just popped out of the woodwork all 'Monster Squad Predator What now?!?!' and gave itself a high five just thinking about the possibilities. My inner nine year-old didn't read that it was just the writer of Monster Squad gonna make a Predator reboot. My nine year-old rejected that and just smashed the two movies together in the best possible way ever.
