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.
Excerpt from the entire interview :-
You were also involved with AVP and AVPR, which are two great franchises, but they haven’t been able to work as a joint franchise. When are we going to see them go separate? Or are we going to see a third AVP?
John Davis:
Well, the Governor 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.
So if Arnold wanted to do it, it’s going to get made?
John Davis:
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 is the AVP franchise on hold for now?
John Davis:
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.
How do you see the character that Arnold plays to that franchise?
John Davis:
I don’t know yet. But I think Predator is a great character and a great monster.
Bottomline - “
AVP” is dead, but we might get another “
Predator” movie after Arnold leaves office.
