Robert Rodriguez to do a new Predator reboot...

[Kuzeh]

It's been rumored that RR wanted to do a Pred movie,
but I think this is the first time he talks about it clearly...
But with so many projects, I doubt we'll see it soon...
This should be interesting if it happens...

Fox, Rodriguez Rebooting Predator Series
Source: IESB April 23, 2009

Robert Rodriguez and 20th Century Fox are giving Predator a facelift in a new film entitled Predators. First reported by Bloody-Disgusting in January, the official announcement came today via a news conference today at the Texas-based Troublemaker Studios where Rodriguez was on hand for the signing of a new state film incentive.

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

If you recall, Rodriguez penned a Predator 3 script some time ago that was discarded because it was "too big."

Super ^^^^ing awesome! I love Rodruguez's work.

 

[MooMooEgg]

Potential for awesome... I juts hope it's not a "wipe the slate clean" reboot, but rather a new (but good) self-contained story

 

[MANGLORD]

'Machete'

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Predators eh?

 

[prefused]

so long as it ignores the avp cross-over garbage, i'm in.

MACHETE!!!!!

love RR ... the Pred franchise will instantly become cool as ^^^^ again

 

[-Super Hans-]

awesome

 

[Reinhardt]

outstanding!!! FINALLY some good news with respect to all these reboots!

 

[MrStayPuft]

couple of smaller movies like Sin City 2

Looking forward to all of these! Sounds like he'll be busy for the next fear years, much like Del Toro

i dont feel a reboot has any chance of being better than the original, either just as good or worse unless they completely change the p1 for a different pred design alltogether id still watch it anyways though

 

[nicky]

Is RR directing it though or just writing/producing? Although I love the idea of an A list director diecting it, I dont think RR's style would suit a Pred film.

 

[occulum]

stop thinking ....

 

[jbinny]

stop thinking ....

agreed...

I gave it up a looooooooong time ago and it's done wonders for me.

 

[uscmhicks]

hmmm... interesting. I actually have hope for this now.

 

[plasmid303]

RR is an odd fit for Predator. I hope it doesn't end up looking like Sin City or Spy Kids.

 

[AdamBombOi]

As long as he doesn't ^^^^ up the creature itself, I've become a little more open to the idea.

 

[Sachiel]

Well it seems there would be more than one Predator.

Isn't that what was said before?

 

[The Mike]

Huh....well HT must be happy because it'd secures the Predator licenses to continue. I wonder if he'll try to redesign the look of the Predators themselves....
