In line with a cinematic era of film remake and sequels, it has been revealed that "Predator 4," also known as "Predator" is in development.

"Predator" writer Fred Dekker took the news on his official Facebook account. In his status on Feb. 9, he wrote that he could not say where he had been that morning, or what he had seen, or what they had talked about. The screenwriter added that he had one word for "Predator" fans, "Yes."

According to Cinema Blend, Dekker's Facebook status was "cryptic" and "enthusiastic;" however, it has led fans to assume that he and his co-writer and director Shane Black had gotten a green light the studio to start "Predator 4." "Yes" could also mean that Dekker and Black had found a new filming location, in addition to a new design for a new Predator.

While it is assumed that fans and moviegoers are now in a period circled by film reboots and sequels, Black's forthcoming "Predator 4" should not be merely viewed as another film reboot. In his interview with Collider in 2014, Black confirmed that the film mythology was not going to be a "Predator" reboot.

For Black, the concept of "expanding and exploring" the existing "Predator" mythology is better than "hitting the restart button."

"Predator 4" is set to be the sequel to the 1987 sci-fi film "Predator;" although fans got another "Predator" film in Stephen Hopkin's "Predator 2" in 1990 and Nimrod Antal's "Predators" in 2010.

For the time being, exact details on the plot, characters, and exact release are yet to be revealed.
