At the 2006 [[WonderCon]] in [[San Francisco]], Allred announced that ''Madman the Movie'' was in pre-production and hoped to begin filming before the end of the year. He teased fans in attendance by saying that the titular role had already been cast, "but I can't tell you who it is yet.... When we announce it, you're gonna be like 'What?', then you'll think about it for a second and see that it's perfect."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/01/30/allred-talks-madman-movie|title=Allred Talks 'Madman' Movie|website=[[IGN]]|author=Stax|date=January 30, 2007|accessdate=June 24, 2019}}</ref>

In 1994, Rodriguez wrote an early script for a third ''Predator'' film for [[20th Century Fox]] while he was working on ''[[Desperado (film)|Desperado]]'' at the time.<ref name="IGNFL">{{cite web |url= http://movies.ign.com/articles/107/1077485p1.html |title=Predators First Look | publisher= [[News Corporation (1980–2013)|News Corporation]] | work = [[IGN]] |date=2010-03-15 |accessdate=2010-05-22}}</ref> Rodriguez presented the script to the studio, but was denied when they realized that the budget would be too large.<ref name="AICNE" /> Fifteen years later, the studio decided to go with his script. Rodriguez stated:
<blockquote>It's the story from that script I had written way back then. They had hired me to write a ''Predator'' story while I was waiting to do ''Desperado'' back in 1995. It was crazy, this thing I came up with. So then fast-forward to now and, like, six months ago, they found the script and called me up. 'Hey, we want to redo this franchise and we found your old script. This is where we should have gone with the series! We want to move forward.' And that's what we're doing.<ref>{{cite news
