Shane Black Talks The Predator’s Continuity

thepredator2017

I think it’s cool as fuck that The Predator is going to be a sequel and not some silly reboot.  Shane Black came out last year to insist that this was the case when some reporters were carelessly using that word, reboot.  It’s going to be exciting to see how it ties in with the previous films.  Speaking with CinemaBlend Black has spoken about that this week;

The trick is to go back in time and look at the other earlier films and say, for instance, in the first movie, what is there? Is there a scene in here that suggests something that we can almost in retrospect say, ‘See, it was set up in the first one!’? How do we find that little niche?

Personally, I think the best plot device that came out of the whole thing was Gary Busey’s team of FBI specialists trying to capture a Predator.  Nowadays they probably would’ve milked things before going that route but back in the day, we got that cool idea straight away in the sequel.
