On Writing Predators – Alex Litvak Talks Franchises and Fans

We’ve already heard from Predators writer Alex Litavak on the ideas behind the Robert Rodriguez produced film, and following the generally positive reaction to the recent trailer, Litvak returns to open up a little more.

Alex goes into detail about the grueling writing process, who was involved and what ideas were bandied around in the scrum, and it’s great to hear throughout that Litvak and Rodriguez were always aware of how the fans would react.

He also talks about how this new film fits in with the turbulent journey of Predators on the screen, going so far to suggest that the team were hoping this film will ‘atone for Aliens Vs. Predator’.

If you’ve seen the trailer (and if not – here it is) you’ll be able to see the links forged between Antal and Rodriguez’s vision and the 1987 original.

You can check out the rest of Alex’s videos over at Sixthborough Screenwriting here, and the one in question is embedded below.
