Predator 3 : Deadlier of the Species!
Sam F.Park, a producer of low-budget horror movies (like 'The Half-Way House') and one-time Kerry campaigner, wrote Predator 3: Deadlier of the Species, a spec script that he actually tried to get Silver Pictures to snap up. They didn't. They weren't even interested in taking it off the market.
The net latched onto the script though – so much so that that rumours even started flying that The Rock, and later John Cena, had expressed interest in playing the lead if it happened – with many applauding the clever storyline.
"This was another attempt on our part to do something the fans would love and even the larger film audiences would embrace as familiar but with a new and exciting spin on the concept", said Park, who was also pitching a superhero film called 'X-Ray' at the same time. "Joel Silver's assistant, Reggie Hunter, did his part and got this treatment into Silver who told him it was great but... he no longer was working with Fox on this franchise (and now strictly a Warner Brothers team player) and so, nothing came of it".
Apparently his Predator 3 would have seen Arnold Schwarzenegger's character, Dutch, return to do battle with the creature. "He turns his back on love to track down the traitor who wiped out his elite squad of soldiers. Two years later it's Dutch who is being secretly stalked by a Predator with a mysterious agenda until it learns that Dutch holds something more dear to him than life. This sends the Predator into its own private hell during the worst snowstorm in New York's recorded history to find Dutch's heart... and rip it out."
When it was announced that Schwarzenegger wouldn't be doing acting for a while, because of his Governorship, Park started thinking who could replace him in the role – and was keen to see Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson take over the reigns.
