The latest films did little to inspire future financial success. I figured once Disney bought 20th Century Fox, the Predator and Alien franchises were going into cold storage.

The last one only made about $160 million.

I'm surprised another 'Predator' film is being made so soon. If the story doesn't build on 'The Predator' (2018), then 'Predator 5' is going to have one thing in common with the other three sequels, pretending the last film didn't exist. It's that last sentence that captured most of my attention. They are keeping the plot line under wraps for the moment, but I'm told it won't swing back to the developments in the most recent film.' The script is being written by Patrick Aison, whose producer-writer credits include the series Kingdom, Jack Ryan and Treadstone. '20th Century Studios has engaged 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg to direct the fifth installment in the Predator series. Deadline reported that the film is officially in the works. I guess we'll have to see if the fifth installment of the franchise will be. By comparison, none of the 'Predator' movies is scary. But I love science fiction, so I tolerate wetting myself in 'Alien.' Because it's a good movie. 'Alien' holds the record as the only horror movie I actually enjoy. But over time, I've gone back and watched every film in each franchise. Hell, I was only 3 months old when 'Predator 2' came out in 1990. Nor was I on the planet in 1987 when 'Predator' hit theaters. I obviously wasn't around in 1979 when 'Alien' released. And that's assuming she escaped Antarctica (I always believed she did). None of us took into account the only winner from 'Alien Vs Predator' would be Sanaa Lathan. My friends and I spent weeks taking sides and debating which side would win. An ancient pyramid in Antarctica? Two tough aliens fighting each other? Excellent. well, 'Predator.'Īnd the concept looked so cool to an easily-impressed high school gal. I can remember being excited in high school because, for the first time on the big screen, we were going to see xenomorphs from 'Alien' go toe-to-toe with predators from.
