![Predator Predator Image](https://i0.wp.com/www.geeksofdoom.com/GoD/img/2013/07/2013-07-15-predator-533x282.jpg?resize=530%2C282&ssl=1)
As ’80s and early ’90s action movie franchises continue to get the reboot and remake treatment, it was only a matter of time before Predator was seen as a financial opportunity to take advantage of, and today that news is officially set in stone thanks to 20th Century Fox.
Word is coming out that Predator is indeed getting “rebooted”, though there is no word as to exactly what that truly means, and talent has already been attached to the film. Shane Black, who wrote and directed Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3, will be taking on directorial responsibilities for the movie. He will also provide the basic treatment for the movie. Fred Dekkar, known chiefly for directing Night of the Creeps and The Monster Squad, will provide the screenplay.

When Scott Derrickson came out with Sinister back in 2012, the director proved his worth in the realm of horror, bringing viewers some incredible scares via a crate filled with rolls of chilling 8mm film. Now the director and writer is back with his latest entry, Deliver Us From Evil, which explores evil in its most ethereal form and continues to build on the trend of bringing “based on true events” stories to the big screen.
The first trailer for the movie, which stars Edgar Ramirez, Eric Bana and Olivia Munn, was recently released and it shows definite promise in unleashing dread upon the masses. You can check out the trailer, as well as the full synopsis here after the jump!

SXSW: ‘Space Station 76’ Sci-Fi Comedy Acquired By Sony For International Distribution
![Space Station 76 Space Station 76](https://i0.wp.com/www.geeksofdoom.com/GoD/img/2014/03/space-station-76-header-preview.jpg?resize=530%2C214&ssl=1)
If you haven’t heard of Space Station 76 yet, this is a film you need to keep an eye on when it finally hits theaters. The film, which has been in production since 2012, finally made its debut at SXSW this weekend, and distribution rights to the film have already been snagged by Sony Pictures for all international markets save for the United States, which will be handled by Preferred Content.
Space Station 76 has great premise, to make a science fiction dramedy in the future, using the mindset of the 1970s (thus the 76) as to what we thought the future would look like. Think Space: 1999, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, or the original Battlestar Galactica to get a feel for this approach – huge clunky robots, wood paneling, white structural backgrounds, and of course 70’s fashion sense.
