Is Arnold Schwarzenegger in for Predators?

Source:  Moviehole
Arnold Schwarzenegger as Major Alan In a story from Moviehole, Robert Rodriguez is overtly courting Arnold Schwarzenegger for his Predators movie.

Apparently, the Governor of California is a little busy at the moment so he hasn't responded, yet. The biggest problem with this is that the shoot is coming up soon so Schwarzenegger needs to get in touch with Rodriguez if this is going to happen.

Moviehole's source goes on to say that a role has even been written for Arnold. Rodriguez does not see Predators as a remake but rather a sequel to the original film.

The early rumors have Schwarzenegger coming back as Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer, "the canon-armed Special Forces leader" who battled the original extraterrestrial beast in the first film. Arnold's character will not be the lead in the film but one whose role should take a couple of days to shoot.,

Initially, Schwarzenegger had been asked to come aboard as Dutch for a small role in Stephen Hopkins' Predator 2. This never happened and Gary Busey ended up playing the part.

Predators is slated to come to theaters July 2010 from 20th Century Fox.

WHY? That defeats the purpose of "Predator 2", although that wasn't great. I don't like this idea, they already screwed up Predator with the "AVP" films. If, and I doubt, Arnold Schwarzenegger is to return that's the only way I will see this movie.

PREDATOR was a great movie. the concept was simple but brilliant.

But the whole AVP crapfest has ruined BOTH franchises. PREDATOR 3 will no doubt be an action-lightshow-gorefest to get the teens in. Instead of being a cat/mouse-murderous thriller like the original.

If Arnold does a film it'll be The Goverator, he'll blast and gun each sect and his opponents. But I Doubt he'll do any film since he's too busy.

Come on Robert, you know Arnie won't go for this. I'd be very surprised if he did.

June 6th, 2009 9:43am
Yeah I know it's a sequel, but it'd be nice to not completely shove out Danny Glover. Granted he's not in the upcoming sequel, but it'd be nice to not pretend the events of "Predator 2" (1990) didn't occur. Though I guess it just won't be adressed either way, cuz it can still be a sequel w/out referencing the second film, same as "Halloween H20" (1998) set-up the story as if the Shape hadn't been seen for twenty years, despite all the newspaper clippings related to the events of 4/5/6 in the opening credits.

And I reference the remake train cuz all these sequels/remakes/reboots of old films seem to all be related to teh idea that Hollywood's outta originality, and severly needs it. Though this could easily be a good movie in its own right.

YESSSSSSSSS, sequel is good, no remake cause they have been making horrible remakes in holllywood lately.

So is he or isn't he directing?!?!

June 5th, 2009 5:25pm
Why does everyone keep saying it's a remake? The article clearly states that it's a sequel. And thank God it's Robert Rodriguez doing it. Also, if Arnold can do a cameo in the new Stallone movie I don't see why he can't do the same for this one.

Well technically, Sly
Its a remake to Predator 2 now, they are just trying to style it out. As the source states
"Rodriguez does not see Predators as a remake but rather a sequel to the original film."

WTF? They tapped Arnold for Busey's role in "Predator 2"??? That means they woulda killed him off!? WTF? That'd have been terrible. lolz.

We should keep in mind however that with all these remakes/reboots that soon Hollywood's gonna run outta steam as the first decade of the 21st Century will cinematically be remembered as the decade of remakes...all the remakes of GOOD movies at least, thus perhaps prompting them to have few good films left to fuck up in the next decade, thus implying that the outta control remake train will run outta steam quickly & suddenly when the execs wake up and see what they've done, though the more money we give to them in box office revenue for this stuff, then the more they'll continue to do it.

And at least Robert Rodriguez is doing the Predator sequel rather than some other half-assed director. After all, how often has RR let us down?

I doubt he'll be able to do it. If he couldn't do TS, he can't do this. As for the film itself? It actually seems promising.

Ok, so basically this is now a remake to Predator 2.

Yeah Arnie coming back for the role of Dutch is highly unlikely, he is too busy with California, unless of course the predators attack California and well Dutch has become Governor or Mayor of California, which is highly unlikely.

And well yeah, if this does get confirmed, i agree with AFC, that it will be CGI'd and i'm sorry, Arnie's cameo in T4, should be used for a spoof movie, because that was a complete piss-take to the fans, about pleasing the fans.
Arnie's cameo actually spoils T4 and turns it into a funny cheesefest, because when you se Arnie, you cant take the film seriously anymore of course until the last 5 minutes or so, when John revives Marcus.

A CGI Arnie would spoil the premise of this being a serious sci-fi movie, but then again i could use the laugh again, i fell off my chair laughing in the cinema at Arnie, and how they gave him a perfected terminator 1 structure.

I was also interested in that premise as well, tyler, i wonder what happened to it?
