Excellent news. More watered down shite released purely as a cash grab by Blumhouse.

I've really enjoyed some of the original films from the Blumhouse studio, particularly Whiplash, Oculus, Get Out, The Invisible Man, and Us. I thought Split was good and liked Happy Death Day, the Purge films, and Ma, though I have been less impressed by their sequels and remakes (Black Christmas, Halloween), so I'll approach this with some caution.

There is one sentence in the article which was jarring: "This new trilogy also marks the first time Ellen Burstyn will play the role of Chris MacNeil in the original movie."

I guess they mean that it marks the first time Ellen Burstyn will play the role of Chris MacNeil since the original movie, which is notable.

Totally agree, actually feels like a Ghostbusters film which can't be said about the remake. Got goosebumps when I heard Rays voice at the end.

It's a good trailer – I hope the film lives up to the expectation it has given me and doesn't disappoint.

Skull’ Is an Origin Story About the First Time a Predator Comes to Earth; Filming Almost Completed!

Skull’ Is an Origin Story About the First Time a Predator Comes to Earth; Filming Almost Completed!

"A new Predator film is on the way from 20th Century Studios and Collider learned today that filming is nearly completed on the prequel that’s currently titled Skull.

The site connected with Jungle Cruise producers John Davis and John Fox who confirmed the film’s title, Skull, while also revealing that Dan Trachtenberg‘s upcoming Predator movie will be “an origin story about the Predator’s first journey to this planet.”

In the film, Amber Midthunder (“Legion”) stars as a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior.

The plan was for Skull to emulate what was so great about the first Predator, only with a strong female hero.

“It goes back to what made the original Predator movie work,” Davis explained. “It’s the ingenuity of a human being who won’t give up, who’s able to observe and interpret, basically being able to beat a stronger, more powerful, well-armed force.”

Predator was a true underdog story with Arnold Schwarzenegger having to outsmart a superior technologically advanced being. This time, Midthunder gets to best the alien hunter.

As for tone, Davis reveals that “[Skull] has more akin to The Revenant than it does any film in the Predator canon,” further adding: “You’ll know what I mean once you see it.”

“I think this is a worthy complement to the first one,” he adds. “It’s going to be as good.”

Skull is rumored to be heading straight to Hulu, similar to that of the forthcoming Hellraiser reimagining."

I don't have a Hulu account, so this is going to pass me by until it has a Blu-ray/4K Ultra HD release for home viewing.
