Predator returns again

The Predator sci-fi movie franchise is heading back to its roots - by rebooting the original Arnold Schwarzenegger film.

The hit 1987 movie was brought back for a second time three years later in Predator 2, with Danny Glover in the starring role.

But the movie monster was borrowed by the Alien franchise in 2004's Alien vs. Predator - combining the deadly creatures from both 1980s films. The mix-up was brought back in 2007 for Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.

And now director Robert Rodriguez has announced the series is set to continue with a new solo outing for the dreadlock-sporting alien hunter.

Rodriguez has written the script for the movie - titled Predators - and will begin shooting after he completes work on his latest film project, Machete, according to Variety.com.
