John Wick: The Ultimate Predator
Crossover Remake: Predators (2010)
Leave Predator alone. Leave Predator 2 alone. Those movies do not need John Wick. But Nimród Antal’s Predators “reboot” or whatever? Burn it with fire, pretend it never existed, then do it over in the world of John Wick – and let Shane Black direct.
It’s a simple inclusion. The whole plot of Predators is that everyone’s favorite spine-ripping aliens love hunting for sport. They pick the best of the best humans, and drop them on a remote plant. The hunters, soldiers, killers – whoever gets wrangled up – must fend for themselves, and attempt to not become a mounted head on some Predator spaceship.
So, what if John Wick and his assassin friends were forced into playing the galaxy’s most dangerous game? It’d give filmmakers the chance to draw up some eccentric new assassins who would first fight each other – The Condemned style – and then band together once their hunters catch up. It’s all very simple. Wick and his assassin friends against Predators. Deadly marksmen versus alien technology. Gun-Fu versus laser PEW-PEW things. Whatever makes Predators not be Predators, I’m game.
Wait a second…The Condemned? Hmmm…
