Producer John Davis recently said,
“Shane’s got a writing partner, Fred Dekker,” Davis told Collider. “They’ve been doing it together and Fred’s great. The two of them together, they’ve been in the business for a long time, but the writing is so fresh, the perspective is so fresh. I’m telling you you’re going to get something you don’t expect and you’re going to say, ‘This is the most entertaining way to reinvent a franchise.’ I mean he’s the guy who wrote Iron Man 3.”
Black seems to be hard at work on the film, but it’s not clear if Predator will be his next project. Black is also working on film adaptations of Doc Savage and The Destroyer.
