Predator Re-make?!

According to the 'Wrestling Observer Newsletter', WWE Superstar John Cena, coming up next in The Marine opposite Nip/Tuck star Kelly Carlson, is apparently up for the lead role in a remake of 1987's Arnold Schwazenegger movie, PREDATOR.

A few months back, a scooper over at Latino Review touched on a remake, saying that JOHN McTIERNAN had been offered the Directorial duties in an effort to lure him away from the Thomas Crown Affair sequel that he's been developing.

The Observer was one of the first to break the news about Cena's role in The Marine, so we reckon that there's a bit of "where there's smoke, there's fire" going on around this story. The WWE has pushed several of their Wrestlers for big screen projects as of late, with Cena, The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin & Kane all headlining new projects within the next few months.

Cena is in Australia at the moment for the Survivor Series tour, so hopefully we'll get some more info soon.

Writer Sam Park [The Half-Way House] had been hoping to lure Schwarzenegger back to play Dutch - one last time - in a Predator 3, but seems FOX might have decided to go the remake route instead.

GA SAYS:

RUNNNNN!!!! GET TO DA CHOPPA, NOWWWW!!! A re-make of Predator? What the hell?! We think that Fox need to learn this little saying - if it ain't broke, then DON'T fix it!! A re-make to the fabulous original would destroy this franchise. It doesn't need adapting anymore! AvP was bad enough in places - but atleast it was fun! A re-make would just be downright disrespectful to the original - one of the top sci-fi action thrillers of the 80's, and of all time!

Don't do it! If it bleeds.. we WILL kill it!!
