‘AvP’ Franchise Dead, But Predator Lives On?
Some interesting news comes in this evening in the form of speculation, but it does come from Producer John Davis. What is mostly wishful thinking, could end up becoming something solid in a few years when “Arnie” gets out of office, as the producer tells Collider that “The Governor” might return for more action — in the form of a new PREDATOR film. Read on for the skinny.
“Well, the Governor (Arnold Schwarzenegger) 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,” he tells Collider.
The site clarifies, if Arnie wants in they’ll do it?
“Well we’d have to come up with a really good script and a really great angle on it, but Predator was the first movie I was ever involved with, so it’s always going to have a really soft spot in my heart.”
So what exactly is the status of the rumored third ALIEN VS PREDATOR film?
“I think we’ve logically done what we could’ve done with the two AVP movies. But I think there’s something to go back to with Predator…”
Too bad there’s no word on an ALIEN 5, which is still on the top of my “where the hell is it already?” list.
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
