		<description><![CDATA[The last Predator film was clearly set up for further exploration (with the captured weapon being handed over to a lady who, it was implied, was not of this world) - but sadly this further film does not look as if it is going to be made.

As for this project:

If the film is not played for laughs (which it most likely will be) the Predator would find a world where the philsophy of seeking after dangerious opponents (not unarmed noncombatents - after all Predators are not &quot;Aliens&quot; out to lay eggs, or whatever, in people and so on) to prove itself against in a fight to the death, was rather better understood than it is today.

The Predator would also find that formal costumes and good manners did not mean that the people it faced were not killers - and highly intelligent killers.

People who would quite likely find ways of making up for their technological inferiority.

Many of the gentlemen of the early 1800&#039;s would be far more likely to survive than most of us would be.]]></description>
