Robert Rodriguez is Re-booting PREDATOR!
Written by IESB Staff
Thursday, 23 April 2009

Director Robert Rodriguez has taken on the 20th Century Fox PREDATOR franchise and creating a newly rebooted "PREDATORS."

We've heard the rumblings that this was coming via B-D, but now it's been confirmed. IESB has also confirmed it will be Rodriguez' own take on the original concept and he is in fact not only producing the reboot, he's also directing it.

In a news conference today at Troublemaker Studios, several Texas state politicians were in attendance to sign HB 873, the long-awaited reform of the Texas film incentive program.

Rodriguez talked to the audience of press members and revealed his upcoming film slate.

"I'm going to be able to shoot my upcoming Machete here, a sci-fi action film called Nervewrackers, a re-boot of the Predator series called Predators, and a couple of smaller movies called Sin City 2 and The Jetsons."

Enough of the reboots already, get original.

TJL · 04-25-2009, 09:23 AM

Well, at least this will put an end to the Alien vs Predator films.

Yeah, I stopped after the first one.

What was the last one to come out, Requiem? Or did they make more after that?

I believe they only made two. Requiem was enough.

Funny, I thought Rodriguez was going to do more Grindhouse inspired movies?

I saw on the IMDB that he's also working on two Sin City sequels.

WHen is he going to have time to do a Predator movie?

Have you guys ever been to Film School Rejects?
It's a pretty good site with interesting articles and stuff about movies.

Anyway, they're reporting (based on a pretty reliable rumor source - you know how these movie websites are lol) that Rodriguez isn't directing:

Writer Tapped For Predator Reboot
Monday, May 4, 2009
By: MrDisgusting

Bloody-Disgusting got the scoop that Alex Litvak is currently penning the new draft of Predators that's to be produced by Robert Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios for 20th Century Fox.

Litvak recently wrote Medieval for New Regency. The reboot to the classic 80's action/horror flick Predator is being penned as a "sequel" and will follow a team of commandoes who face down a mysterious race of vicious monsters.

The project is on fast-track for a July 9, 2010 release. No word yet on who will be directing as Rodriguez is now said to not be getting behind the camera.

Derek Mears Rumored For Predators Reboot
Thursday, May 14, 2009
By: MrDisgusting

A very interesting rumor has hit the web via AITH this evening as they report that Derek Mears - who you might know as the new Jason Voorhees - is a potential candidate to take on a role in 20th Century Fox's Predators, their reboot of the Predator franchise being produced by Robert Rodriguez and his Troublemaker Studios.

While on the red carpet of Drag Me to Hell he was baited into spilling the bean, he simply replied, "Yeah, it would be awesome." Watch this spot for any confirmation as it comes in. The question remains, would he be a predator or one of the kickass big men with even bigger guns? What do you think?

Predators a Straight-Up Sequel?
Source:Moviehole.net
June 5, 2009

What direction is Predators, 20th Century Fox's latest entry in the Predator franchise, going in? Remake? Sequel? It appears it may be the latter.

Robert Rodriguez (Planet Terror), according to a Moviehole tipster is "considering this an official sequel to John McTiernan's film." And because of this, Rodriguez people have reached out to Arnold Schwarzenegger to participate in the film in some capacity.

"Like Terminator, they know Schwarzenegger's a vital ingredient of the franchise. Ideally, Arnold will see it that way too. Ball is in his court now," says the site.

Reportedly Schwarzenegger's "Dutch" has been written into the script. The size of his part is unknown.

Rodriguez Speaks On Predators
Thursday, July 2, 2009
By: BC

Really, they could pretty much hire any director to helm Predators and it would be a step up from the "Brothers Strause" who directed AVP: Requiem (if you can call that nonsense directing). But as one of the few who enjoyed Vacancy (until that copout ending) and also his older, non-horror film Kontroll, I am pretty happy with the confirmation of Nimrod Antal as the man to take charge of this re-whatever. Of course, I was just as happy with Neil Marshall, and also some of the other names I heard, but at least they are solid directors, not VFX guys who learned how to yell "action" and "cut" and nothing else. Read on for a few tidbits straight from Robert Rodriguez's mouth; head over to AICN for the full article (confirming Latino Review's early report) complete with Harry's take on the matter!

Rodriguez, on Antal:

First of all, on a personal level I found him to be an outstanding presence, a great communicator full of ideas, and upon meeting him you can immediately understand how he is able to wrangle cast and crew and get the best out of everyone. I always loved Kontroll, where he proved himself to be a very resourceful and original filmmaker. When I saw Armored, I could tell he's also great with action and has a keen eye for casting. He reminded me of Quentin with how he was able to work with a group of very strong, singular actor talents and make it look effortless.

I know he'll be able to get the most out of what we want to be an outstanding cast. We really want to go with a character driven action movie, because that's what we all remember about the original Predator, and we want to take it even further with this.
