PREDATOR 5: Plot Details For Upcoming Reboot Revealed; Franchise May Be Heading To The Past

On Friday, we learned that 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg will take the helm of the next Predator movie. It sounds like some sort of surprise announcement was originally planned, and it's possible we weren't supposed to know it was a Predator movie until we were actually watching it! 

Last December, it was reported that Trachtenberg was developing a movie for 20th Century Studios called Skulls which was written by Patrick Aison and set to be produced by longtime Predator franchise producer John Davis. At the time, it was said that, "'Skulls' will follow a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior."

Now, AVP Galaxy is reporting that the two projects are indeed one and the same.

Apparently, "Predator 5 will be set in the past (finally!) where it will focus around Native Americans before the territories were taken by the American settlers, featuring a First Nations cast." 

This won't be the first time the franchise has explored Native American Culture as the comic book series (and novel) Predator: Big Game did exactly that. It's definitely an interesting, and exciting premise for the property, but if this doesn't work after 2018's reboot...well, that could be it for Predator on the big screen (there's certainly still potential for the horror villains on television, though).

Are you excited for this latest reboot?

Okay, this has my attention, finally something different from the predator series.

If this works out, how about another one set in the futre.

Maybe set each film in a different time period

Hopefully we see the main character learn to be a warrior, and its not the Mulan remake all over again.

@dracula -

It's definitely piqued my interest and has gotten my attention.
Glad to see them do something a little bit different with it rather than repeat the same thing exactly.

I am guessing they will make it super low budget. And I am secretly hoping it is.

This honestly sounds fantastic. The ancient setting allows for a proper survival film with (hopefully) the Predator back as a genuine threat to be deal with.
Here's hoping its the Wolf Predator

I was kinda hoping for a sequel with Arnie, since making sequels to movies a few decades later is the new trend.

This however also does sound pretty interesting. Definitely better than that last unimaginative reboot

I don’t know why people at this point say if so and so movie property doesn’t work this time then it’s over or some such nonsense. It’s clearly just never true.

If this movie is going to past only way beat predator is with dynamite and canon without those two things who ever predator is hunting will lose definitely shooting tank with rifle

@dragon316 - Arnold defeated Predator with wooden traps.

@dragon316 - You don't need explosives and cannons to kill a Predator. They take damage just like anything else, they are just more durable and strong.

Like FinnishDude said, Arnold took his out with traps he made out of trees.

@FinnishDude -

Adrian Brody also killed a Predator by going "Old School" using a bone axe. Predators have been
hunting humans on Earth for millennia.

If human did not provide good sport by occasionally killing a Predator, they would have abandoned
Earth as a hunting ground centuries before humanity invented advanced weapons.

I think a whole point of the series has been that humans reach their full deadly potential when
they go back to relying more on stealth and guile over technology and firepower.

I don't understand why they never adapted the first AvP comic series, it was damn near perfect, and had nothing to do with Earth. The entire universe at their disposal and Predators keep showing up on Earth??

@Cwazola - I'm sure they go other places than just Earth. But Earth offers good game to hunt with people that can offer a challenge at times. Its like being a fisherman or big game hunter. If you know you catch a lot of fish or shoot big bucks in a certain lake or forest you go back to it.

Surprises like that don't work in Japan. The 10 Cloverfield poster here has the alien attack on it.

So much untapped potential for great predator movies, I was surprised by the amount of “ugh another one of these? let it die!” type comments, there’s only been 4 predator movies (excluding AVP) it hasn’t nearly been as rinsed as many other franchises with it’s sequels, reboots, and prequels AND there is really only ONE terrible predator movie (excluding AVP again) The first movie is a classic and while the other 2 didn’t live up to the first they are pretty decent action flicks

I really like the sound of that. Keep the budget low, the cast small. Make it more of an intimate duel. Put as much focus on atmosphere and tension as on action.

@Kyos -

This is interesting because it finally pays off the premise put forward mostly in Predator 2, but also
in the first film and Predators,(not including the AVP films) that these aliens have been coming to Earth
to hunt human warriors for centuries.

This dives into why the Predators are so fascinated with our world. Humans are a challenge and have
been long before automatic weapons,explosives, and night vision optics.

Lets actually see stand alone films where a human bested a Predator centuries ago.

Wrong direction. Cool concept. What most fans want is an AvP film set in the future featuring the Colonial Marines.
