Five Point Fix
1
Be stingy with the silly. Go for a thriller with sparing laughs, not an action-comedy with pussy/gaylord gags. 2
Go easy on the CGI carnage. How about a Predator cornered, weaponless, feral – and more ferocious than ever? 3
Ease off the pacing pedal. Trust audiences to get involved in character and suspense.
4
Try to start semi-fresh. Back-story saddles the film with too much self-awareness: secure that shit.
5
Get a director experienced in action and quality monsters. What’s Matt Reeves up to post-Batman?
