Apparently director Neil Marshal is close to signing on to the Robert Rodriguez produced reboot of the popular Predator series.

Marshall has directed such films as "The Descent", "Doomsday", and "Dog Soldiers".

I dont think it's supposed to a reboot so to speak but a continuation of the series. Arnie is even in talks of reprising his role from the original.

The script Robert Rodriguez is using is a reboot. All of the Arnold talk is rumors. Rodriguez has said that he hasn't talked to Arnold once about the project, but he said that anything is possible.

Neil Marshall? Really? Kickass! Excellent choice for the project. Even the bits and pieces I've seen from Doomsday weren't all that bad. Marshall and Rodriguez is also a really interesting pairing.

I don't much care if the third film is a reboot or a continuation nor if Arnold is involved in anyway. He's a governor, after all. Does anyone really think he's gonna take that many months off to rehash an old movie role. Nah. Besides, Predator is and always has been the star of the two films. Not the Govenator.

The original script by Rodriguez included Arnie's character going to the Predator planet to fight in a tournament of sorts.

I don't think the series needs a whole reboot as the first two movies are good. Sure, the second one was only decent, but it's better than most the modern horse shit the studios are putting out.

That's awesome if they have Marshall directing. I've been a fan of his films since Dog Soldiers, so that's good news.

Doomsday was one terrible film. I can only hope it's good!

Sneak peak here! - http://www.predators-movie.com/

Holy shit does it look awesome! One of my most anticipated movies of the year. B)

Looks sweet. But if it's PG-13 like AVP, I swear I will cry myself to sleep on the day of release.

Then again, an R-Rated installment can also be crap -- AVP: Requiem.

So, I understand that this is a direct sequel to Predator, and that it ignores Pred. 2 and the AVP films. Is this correct?

Yeah, from what I can gather that is correct. Predator 2 wasn't the worst movie ever, but it still wasn't a great follow up.

If this is PG13, I'll join you in crying Julio.

Doesn't everyone ignore the AVP fiascos?  

The sneak peak doesn't really show enough for me to form an opinion. Don't like the Predator Hounds though - seems wrong somehow. Will wait for the trailer.

According to Wiki, the movie will be R-rated.

Rob, I think those are early concept arts of the hounds. They work really well in the script(meaning they don't seem out of place or anything).

First trailer is up here!- http://media.movies.ign.com/media/429/429477/vids_1.html

I just got goosebumps.

Meh. This was pretty much the same as the sneak peak. Considering that this is basically a remake of The Most Dangerous Game, I do not have insanely high hopes for it. Hope to be pleasantly surprised though.

It looks like a good installment with a solid cast, but I agree, the script could be more original.
