“What if a Predator was Arnold this time?” That’s the wild pitch Dan Trachtenberg threw out during a Reddit AMA about his new animated Predator anthology film, Predator: Killer of Killers.

When Disney bought Fox back in 2019, sci-fi horror fans panicked. The House of Mouse was now holding the keys to two of cinema’s goriest, most nihilistic franchises: Alien and Predator.

3 days ago | fortressofsolitude.co.za | Jarrod Saunders

Justin Long turned 47 and celebrated the occasion by dropping a photo that had fans (and probably a few confused scroll-stoppers) doing double-takes. Bald head, wild bushy beard?

And I’ve finally entered my Shel Silverstein phase!” he wrote on Instagram. “He was my favorite when I was a boy (and he still is!).” Naturally, speculation exploded.
