February 26, 2002 — The ARNOLD FAN reports...
A self-proclaimed inside source reveals the latest rumor rumblings behind Predator 3 and Arnold's possible involvement.
A new debut screenwriter, Matthew J. Virchow, is helming the PREDATOR III script. Jim Thomas and John Thomas (Predator, Predator 2) aren't going to write a third film because they have more "important" projects, as they claim, than rather doing another sequel. They feel that the second film didn't do that well, and they don't want to risk another flop at the box office. They also made remarks about an ALIENS VS. PREDATOR script being previously written, and so they were waiting for that film to be made, but it didn't happen.
Matthew J. Virchow, who've I've met with, has shown me some of the third script, and basically gave me some of the details surrounding it. FOX is going to take a look at it apparently. Matthew is searching for an executive to take in the script. FOX has said themselves, after knowing the script has been written, that they don't feel it is a winning project that would be as attractive as the 1987 original.
Well, Matthew is very anxious about his new genius script. For you eager fans who rumored about Kurt Russell taking a lead role- that is false. The only actor rumored is Arnold Schwarzenegger, considering his character Dutch returns as the hardcore soldier.
