Nearly twenty years after
Predator 2, the
Predator franchise came back to life (though these aliens had appeared in the two
Alien vs. Predator movies) in 2010 under the eye of producer Robert Rodriguez for a movie whose tone couldn't have been farther away from the cornball nature of
Predator 2 unless it had maybe been
Cabaret But With Predators. Predators was intended to be a grim n' gritty tale that took the
Predator series into outer space and followed a wholly new cast (though, like
Predator 2, there's a brief verbal reference to the events of the very first
Predator movie) of characters trying to survive being hunted by these extra-terrestrial creatures.
