Arnold Schwarzenegger Doesn't Like the Script for THE PREDATOR and Won't Be a Part of It

Uh oh. Arnold Schwarzenegger has read the script for Shane Black's The Predator and he says he didn't like it! There was a part for him in the film but after reading the script he decided to not be a part of it. While talking to Yahoo! about the film he said:

"They asked me, and I read it, and I didn’t like it, whatever they offered. So I’m not going to do that, no. Except if there’s a chance that they rewrite it, or make it a more significant role. But the way it is now, no, I won’t do that."

So did he not like the story or did he just not like the fact that they role they had for him was smaller than he would have liked? Black, who played Hawkins opposite Schwarzenegger in the original 1987 film responded to a fan on Twitter and he also hopes that Schwarzenegger didn't think the script was bad.

@iamJermaineP @MPredator24 Me too... I spoke with him, I think it was that he didn't have enough to do. Enough presence in the film.

In a separate report from Alien vs Predator Galaxy, they say that Schwarzenegger’s character Dutch was supposed to show up at the end of The Predator to tease a sequel. If that is the case, it sounds like he probably would have a bigger role in the sequel. That would've been cool! It doesn't really matter anymore, though, because he's not doing it. That's a shame.

Regardless of what Schwarzenegger says, I'm still excited to see the movie!
