I said, “This is the guy that should direct the movie.” And Arnold liked him, and that’s how it happened. I made Larry sit down and see John McTiernan’s film in a screening room because nobody had ever heard of him. At that time, we were doing lots of operations in Central America, so that’s where we set it.ĭavis: I had seen a small movie John McTiernan had done that was really, really, really good. And what’re the most dangerous men? Combat soldiers. But the original conceit was always, “What would it be like to be hunted by a dilettante hunter from another planet the way we hunt big game in Africa?” And at first, we were thinking about how a band of hunters would branch out and hunt various and dangerous species on the planet, but we said: “That’s going to be way too complex.” So, what’s the most dangerous creature? Man. We just sat out on the beach and composed this thing over a period of about three months. Jim Thomas, screenwriter: I had the basic idea for Predator, which at that time was called Hunter, and my brother was laid up from a back injury from the beach, so I said, “Well, do you want to write a script with me?” and he said sure. And Arnold basically said to me, “You’re going to be a producer, you should come to Mexico and you should produce this.” So I did. I mean, literally, it came out of nowhere. And we found this script and it was pretty amazing. Basically, they had slipped under somebody’s door at the studio. And then I decided to give in, and I was also working on the script for Predator, which was John Thomas and his brother Jim, the Thomas brothers. I was an executive at Fox and I worked on a movie that happened right before it called Commando. One of the first people I had met in Hollywood and gotten friendly with was Arnold Schwarzenegger. John Davis, producer: This is the first movie I produced. One thing that everyone whom THR spoke with did agree on, however: Filming in the jungle in the dead of summer is, uh, not ideal. Why did the studio shut the film down? How much of the film was completed at that point (estimates range from “90 percent” to “less than half”)? What happened with the original Predator design? (Did it look like a “cockroach,” a “f- ing chicken,” a “bloody big rat”?) Why did Jean-Claude Van Damme - who was originally cast to play the alien - get fired?
Whether it was the heat of the jungle or the haze of time that accrues over three decades, the stories from people involved took on almost a Rashomon-like quality.
