A Practical New Look For ‘The Predator’

The Predator could shoot this October, hell maybe even September.  And damn that’s soon if you think about it.  And apparently Shane Black has some updates in mind.  Speaking with Superherohype he says;

“It’s not to ‘improve,’ it’s make it fun, make it different, make it organically different,” Black told us of his plans for the Predator costume. “So what’s the extension of it that makes sense, that’s exciting? There have been a lot of changes to Stan’s design over the years. These different Predator movies have done different things. Ultimately it’s not about design to me, it’s about the story you want to tell. There are people who are always going to agonize over Iron Man, what color his suit is. Maybe this weapon does a new thing, but if the story is not good I don’t give a sh*t what color the suit is. In ‘The Predator’ we’re doing a lot of upgrades to what you would consider to be the traditional Predator technology and look, but hopefully the story is what’s going to drag people in, not just the attention to the minutiae.”

Well if that was someone else I’d start worrying, like Paul W.S. Anderson with his fat Predators with long blades (bro).  But I’m all for it, since it’s Black.
