Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed that he will be meeting with old time Predator co-star as well as director of the upcoming fourth sequel, The Predator, Shane Black following the Arnold Sports Festival, which is currently ongoing. In a recent interview from the festival, The Arnold Fans managed to scored an exclusive interview with Schwarzenegger, where he confirmed the upcoming meeting:
Schwarzenegger: "I haven’t talked with him (Shane Black) yet but I’m going to meet with him for lunch sometime soon. Just as soon as I’m finished with this (Arnold’s Sports Festival) and "The Apprentice" and all this stuff. But I will get together with him. If there is any news, we’ll of course let you know right away. There’s also a meeting coming up soon about Conan, about the project moving forward."
"Look, the fans are the most important thing because without the fans, I’d be nothing,” Schwarzenegger tells TheArnoldFans. "So I just always want them to know that I appreciate them very much; their loyalty, their dedication, and their passion about all the stuff that i’m doing. So, thank you."
Previously, the last we heard from Arnold concerning Predator 4 was back in July of last year, where he expressed his displeasure with the sequels, feeling like none of them lived up to the original. It's possible, with things finally set in motion for The Predator, that his interest for the franchise has been re-ignited. As more news comes up for The Predator as well as Schwarzenegger's potential involvement, keep it locked to Scified!
