Hollywood action star Arnold Schwarzenegger, who starred in the original "Predator" film, has slammed its sequels, saying none were "satisfactory to the audience".
Interestingly, the 67-year-old actor was not a part of the two sequels of the 1987 sci-fi films.
When the actor was asked whether he would participate in the franchise reboot that Shane Black is developing, Schwarzenegger replied by saying that the original Predator was one of his "absolute favorite" projects and that he is not yet attached to Black's film, adding that Black is a "very talented guy," said The Hollywood Reporter.
"The sad story is that sometimes studios do a great job with creating sequels, and sometimes they really screw it up bad, and it all has to do with greed," Schwarzenegger said.
"They sometimes want to do it really cheap and make as much money as possible, so they don't hire the right cast or the right director... It's stupid moves to make. So far, no Predator, no matter which one they did after the first one has come out, has been satisfactory to the audience," the star said.
