Sneak Peek at Robert Rodriguez’ Predators
By
We reported way back in April of 2009 that blood-spatter specialist Robert Rodriguez was getting set to reboot the Predator franchise with Predators. The series dates back to 1987, of course starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. “You are one ugly mother fu**er.” Remember that classic line? Then the much less successful sequel, Predator 2, came out three years later, followed by the two Alien vs. Predator cross-over films (AVP and AVP: Requiem) in 2004 and 2007 respectively.
With a stagnant franchise storyline, Rodriguez has hired director Nimrod Antal (Vacancy) to helm the fresh take on the vicious alien warrior (Rodriguez will act as executive producer). The film’s cast includes some actors that seem to be somewhat out of place, such as Adrien Brody and Topher Grace; Lawrence Fishburne and Rodriguez regular Danny Trejo also star.
Rodriguez premiered a behind-the-scenes featurette of Predators at the annual SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas; which is currently underway and goes on until March 21. It actually looks like it could be a fun action movie to check out this summer. Predators opens in the U.S. on July 7.
