Fred Dekker’s ‘Predator’ Script Completed!

Published

on

Both the Alien and Predator franchises were run into the ground with the two Alien vs Predator films, both of which were no better than made-for-Syfy Channel movies.

Now, Twentieth Century Fox is dedicated to fixing the sci-fi horror franchises that both has one-shot films sequels released within the past five years.

With Ridley Scott set to shoot his Prometheus sequel, Alien: Covenant, next March, the studio is also focusing on repairing the Predator franchise.

Predator alumni Shane Black (who played Hawkins and was brought onto the original project to provide some oversight) is directing the fourth film that he has been co-writing with Fred Dekker, who is perhaps most well known for his work on The Monster Squad.

We haven’t heard much since April when Producer John Davis exclaimed that the next Predator would reinvent the franchise. Now, according to Dekker, the screenplay has been turned in.

Dekker posted a child’s drawing of a Predator with the caption: “A character from the new screenplay we just turned in. Art by Angus Herndon, age 7.”

I pray that, after Dekker and Black clicked “send,” the duo flexed in celebration.

Now, it’s up to the Fox execs to pull the trigger and send this baby into pre-production. But, this is Hollywood, and everything is an uphill battle. Odds are Black and Dekker get notes and are sent back to integrate them. Still, there’s progress, and with a new Alien trilogy in the pipeline it would be spectacular to know Predator was chasing its tail.

Black is also known for being the writer/director of films such as Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3.

SCREAMBOX Investigates UFOs and Extraterrestrials: Several Documentaries Streaming Right Now!

Published

on

As someone who is obsessed with UFOS (or more recently known as UAPs) and the concept of extraterrestrials, I love a good documentary. Sightings have been on the rise since the 1940s, with the atomic bomb seemingly acting as a catalyst for new visitors. But what are these UFOs/UAPs? Is there an explanation or are they simply beyond our explanation? Why are they here? Who are they? How much do our governments know? The questions are endless and so are the documentaries that attempt to uncover the secrets behind decades of sightings and alleged confrontations.

Whether you’re a seasoned viewer or new to the rabbit hole, there’s always a handful of interesting documentaries to get your neurons firing and leave you with sleepless nights.
