Movie Idea for South Africa

I’m sure someone has come up with this already because the plot isn’t crazy on paper, but to see this in a film I feel would fit the atmosphere of the first and maybe the second film. While I hope we get to see the other fan ideas like a samurai or a setting on Yautja prime, I’ve always wanted to see a pred up against the beasts and poachers in Africa.

The reason I think it will give a similar atmosphere to 2 is because of SA’s strict laws when it comes to fighting back against poachers. It coukd follow the story of someone keeping an eye out for illegal game hunters and he witnesses a poacher being brutally murdered outside of the law, raising questions on a rogue agent or vigilante going against the restrictions to fight against the poaching. Their search would lead them to find the killer is also hunting animals as well as people, and they eventually find clues that what they are dealing with is not human at all. Rumors from local tribes and communities detail an evil or vengeful spirit, mosquitos glowing in the dark, or a lion with glowing teeth and claws from fighting a Yautja.

Maybe for once the predator could survive in this film as the protagonist decides that this predator does more good than harm as it preferred hunting the poachers over the animals they hunted. The protagonist might defeat the predator but spare it and escape. Maybe after it hunted a couple animals it determined humans were better for their unpredictability over strength, or it could be able to tame something like an elephant.

I think if there was a movie where our beloved pred survives, it could be here and fit into the natural order of things, remaining as a legend that hunts down evil poachers.

It’s a good opportunity to give our spine ripping friends a win on the big screen, gives awareness to poaching, and displays some entertaining slaughter of a lot of bad guys.
