20th Century Fox brings you an exclusive behind the scenes look at Quentin Tarantino's Predator reboot, Predator: Reborn.
(Tarantino talking head shot.)
TARANTINO
So one of the things I insisted on before I signed on to do this reboot is that we had to redesign the Predator. Look, the character's a classic, I'm with you, I get it, but it ain't a reboot if we use the same old creature, alright? What I wanted to do in this version is make him a whole lot scarier. With that in mind, I started thinking about Predator's weaknesses. First of all, he can't see for shit. He's got that heat vision, but look how easily Dutch outsmarted him! You just need some mud and he can't see you? What is he supposed to do, wait for you to take a dump so he can track your warm diarrhea? Where's the terror in that?! So I said fuck the heat vision, we're gonna give him glasses, alright? Now he can see everything. You're not hiding in the fucking mud. The other thing that occurred to me is how young, athletic, and sexy the original Predator was. That's cool for the kids and all, but I wanted to take it in a different direction. My Predator is older, wiser, and more experienced. I want you to think about that for a second, alright? Think about a Predator that has been killing so much for so long, that he is beyond a master. You thought the old Predator was deadly? This guy breathes killing. Literally, it's as easy as breathing to him. That's how many years of killing experience he has. Now that is fucking scary.

And now, an exclusive clip featuring your first look at the newly redesigned Predator.

(We see a pair of legs walking through the jungle. They stop just before hitting a tripwire. This is the new Predator. Pan up to reveal what it looks like:
...Larry David with dreadlocks.)
PREDATOR
Oops, I almost walked into your little trap here! Wouldn't want to destroy all your hard work! You guys can come out now, by the way. I know you're there!
(Two soldiers step out and reveal themselves.)
PREDATOR
What are you guys doin'? Seriously, what the hell is this? You thought you were gonna take out the fiercest killer in the galaxy with a piece of string?
SOLDIER #1
We iced it down so you wouldn't see it.
PREDATOR
Oh, you iced it down? I have glasses, moron!
SOLDIER #2
We... We didn't know that.
PREDATOR
Of course you didn't know! I've been cloaked this whole time! I prefer cloaking to hide my glasses. I don't like contact lenses. They give me headaches.
SOLDIER #1
So, uh... Should we fight, or...?
PREDATOR
No, I have an appointment with my proctologist in half an hour and I can't reschedule. I'm just gonna kill you now.
(Cut to black and we hear the soldiers screaming.)

(Larry David talking head shot.)
LARRY DAVID
I got the call from my agent, he said "Tarantino wants you to play a predator!" Boy, that's not the call you wanna get. I said, "Listen. I know what I look like. Let's cut the bullshit. Enough with the sexual predators being played by creepy old bald men. You're makin' us look bad! Why don't you call George Clooney for once! Why isn't anyone asking Clooney to play a crackhead pedophile?! Got a little fired up at the insinuation. My agent had to calm me down and explain that he meant THE Predator. I didn't want anything to do with it. Then he said Clooney turned down the part. I said, "Fuck you. I'm in."
(Tarantino talking head shot.)
TARANTINO
I know what you're thinking: Why Larry fuckin' David? Well, I'll tell you. In order to be a hunter, you gotta know how to improvise, alright? You gotta adapt to kill more efficiently. Who's a better improviser than Larry David? I mean I guess I could've gotten Wayne Brady, hahaha. ...Fuck, why didn't I get Wayne Brady?! I could've used the N-word so much more in the script!
