'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.

making a pg-13 avp movie, then adding dawsons creek to it was logical? heres an idea: set it in space or a different planet..that was hard

i dunno, arnie's a bit chubby/old to be fighting predators. and a new avp movie would only work as an anime or one of those disney on ice type things.

I also would like to see a third one, because I'm a huge Predator fan, since I was a child. And I really missed Arnie in the second part, although I liked it. Stick around ;-)

Predator is the badest mother fucker around (next to Arnold of course)

Now this is some cool news. I am all for P3 with Arnie.

There was such potential for the AVP franchise to be great. How they dropped the ball I don't know. The first one was watchable, mainly cause lance henrickson was in it. But the second one. oh my god. It was filmed so dark, you couldn't see what the hell was going on!!! Hated it!

Didn't Arnold's character return in the original Dark Horse Comics Predator series? They should go back and look at those storylines for inspiration. They had some fucking awesome original stories for the Alien and Predator series even before they combined them together for the first time.

I don't care how long it takes, whether of not it has Arnie, I just want to see Predator 3 with a great grand finale. The same can be said with Alien 5 and AVP 3. There will always be fans waiting for the next one, or should I say a decent finale.

Thats really to bad. I honestly like the 2 AVP movies.Thought the first one was awesome and actually stayed true to the comics.The second one,well it was to dark for about 80 percent of the movie during the action scenes.So its to bad that theres no plans for a third avp movie cause I think taking it into space and maybe on the predator planet might be the coolest thing ever.Sadly,there are ppl in hollywood that have no idea how to make movies these days and I am almost at a lost for words when I still see they have jobs.

I'd love to have another Alien movie, I loved all of them!

Predator 3 with arnie would be great idea, he's probably not going to partake in the terminator series since they are goin with bale in a new direction, which is a smart thing, but a cameo by him in terminator salvation would be kinda fun, maybe a bunch of tterminators with his "image" or "face" would be a fun nod to the first three. predator 3...good idea?...yes, if there is a good storyline, predator 2 wasnt good, im sorry, predator was only good in predator 1, not avp 1,2 or predator 2

this sucks, i think they could of created a good solid third installment that would lead up to Alien

Thank God the 'AvP' franchise is done. As a life-long fan of 'Alien' and 'Predator', the AvP flicks raped my childhood harder than "The Phantom Menace", "Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" & "Terminator 3" combined! The 'AvP' flciks were pure trash, thank God the nightmare is over... hopefully.

I liked AvP:R. I never cared much for Predator. So, whatever happens, I don't really care.

OMFG this would be godly Anrold and Danny Glover VS predator

Alien 5? that wouldn't be really interesting unless you gave it a new heroine that or a reboot to Ripley's story with a younger less known actress like Weaver was back then they made Alien 1....my bet the bi-curious teen Megan Fox. I believe the last 2 minutes of the movie was great in AVP2 because it bridge the three universes of Predator and AVP and Aliens (In that order in the time line)

Why would anyone be excited about this? Fuck Arnold. He was great back in the day, but seriously. If he were return, I wouldn't want to see him as a bad ass. Too late for that, he looked like shit in T3. He should play a toned down role, if anything.

hmmm a predator 3 would be great, though I don't think it 'needs' arnold. or they could do Arnie and Glover. I'd be more exited about an Alien5 though (and that wouldn't work without Ripley).
