Spanish Teaser Poster for 'Predators'?
22 December 2009 8:31 AM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
Spanish website Aullidos posted the following image that they claim is the forthcoming international teaser poster for Predators, 20th Century Fox's latest entry in the franchise arriving in theaters July 9, 2010. Personally, I think it looks like a hack Photoshop job, so I'd take this with a serious grain of salt until confirmed. Directed by Nimrod Antal and starring Topher Grace, Adrien Brody, Walton Goggins, Laurence Fishburne, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walt Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Louiz Ozawa and Derek Mears, in this version, a group of humans will find themselves stranded on a planet home to Predators and must survive the horrors they encounter. »
Laurence Fishburne To Fight Predators
18 December 2009 4:46 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Robert Rodriguez’s Predators is currently filming in Austin, Texas and Bloody-Disgusting was on set yesterday and learned of another casting addition that they’re allowed to share: Laurence Fishburne.
Fishburne is most recognizable from his role as Morpheus in The Matrix trilogy and can currently be seen on CSI as well as in the film Armored, which is currently in theaters.
In Predators, we know only that his character is named Noland and that he is a member of the group of humans stranded on the Predator homeworld, fighting for survival.
Predators is directed by Nimród Antal from a Robert Rodriguez script. In addition to Fishburne, the cast includes Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo (also working with Rodriguez on Machete), Derek Mears, Oleg Taktarov (Ufc fighter), Walt Goggins (The Shield), Alice Braga (I am Legend, Redbelt) and Mahershalalhashbaz Ali (The 4400).

Laurence Fishburne Joins the Cast of Fox's Predators Reboot
17 December 2009 10:20 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Another fine actor has joined the cast of Robert Rodriguez' reboot of Predators being directed by Nimród Antal as we speak. Collider reports that Laurence Fishburne will star alongside of Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, Alice Braga, Derek Mears, and Walton Goggins. Fishburne is playing a character named Noland, but that's all we know. I'm not sure why Fishburne wasn't included in the first batch of actors that were announced. I'm guessing it means he's either only in it for a cameo or a special, important role of some kind. Either way, this is awesome news. I was already excited for this movie, but I'm even more hyped now. Laurence Fishburne is one of the few actors that I love so much that I'll usually go see a movie just because he's in it. He almost always plays an awesome character and I've got a feeling that he's »

If you’re a fan of Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) and the Predator franchise, I’m about to tell you some awesome news. That’s because I’m in Austin right now, as I got to spend all day on the set of director Nimród Antal’s Predators movie - along with a number of other online journalists. While I can’t tell you anything about what I saw or thought of the movie until my embargo lifts, I’m allowed to report Laurence Fishburne has just joined the cast and he’s playing a character named Noland.
While I would really like to tell you a lot more…since Predators doesn’t get released until next July, it’s going to be awhile before you can read my set report. Saying that, here’s the synopsis that’s on IMDb:

A Look at the 'Predators' Home Planet
30 November 2009 2:16 PM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
Kngb News is reporting that Troublemaker Studios recently used Canyon Lake Gorge in Texas as a backdrop for Predators, adding that the location will be used as a portion of the Predator's home planet in 20th Century Fox's Preadtor remake arriving in theaters July 9, 2010. "Specifically, they went to a spot that 10 years ago didnt exist, but after flood of 2001, when water went over the spillway at Canyon Lake, a huge gorge was cut out of the landscape, and apparently the filmmakers thought the gorge was the perfect look to create an alien landscape." In this version, a group of humans will find themselves stranded on a planet home to Predators and must survive the horrors they encounter. Directed by Nimrod Antal, Topher Grace, Adrien Brody, Walton Goggins, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walt Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Louiz Ozawa and Derek Mears all star. »
For the First Time Ever, Nimrod Antal Talks 'Predators'
28 November 2009 9:07 PM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
For the first time since being hired to bring the battle back to the jungle in which it started, director Nimrod Antal has gone on the record about Predators, his forthcoming reboot of Predator for 20th Century Fox. Starring Topher Grace, Adrien Brody, Walton Goggins, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walt Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Louiz Ozawa and Derek Mears, below you'll find some talk about how big of a fan he is, along with how he chose to go a more practical route (good). To put some of your worries to rest, Antal, who directed both Kontroll and Vacancy, is a huge fan of the entire Predator franchise - so much in fact that he recalls waiting in line when he was 14 to see the first one.

Updates on Robert Rodriguez’s Predators
5 November 2009 4:50 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
The original Predator inspired more American Film Market-screened knockoffs than just about any other movie, and the word on the street here at the sales event is that the upcoming Robert Rodriguez production Predators will also jumpstart a whole new stream of human-vs.-aliens movies. And those who gotten a look at the Predators screenplay have been raving.
These sources tell Fango that this sequel ignores Predator 2 as well as both Alien Vs. Predator movies, and is a direct sequel to the Arnold Schwarzenegger-starrer. The script, by Michael Finch, Alex Litvak and Rodriguez, not only takes place on Earth, but its human characters also travel to the Predators’ planet to hunt the extraterrestrials. We will see new species—including Predator dogs!—and there’s going to be a Berserker Predator, the meanest badass of them all. And in some surprising FX news, Knb Efx’s Howard Berger and »

Shawn Ryan Reminisces on The Shield
2 November 2009 7:54 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The creator of the landmark cable series talks about the new Complete Series DVD set, Terriers and more.
Back in 2002, a series aired that changed the face of television and became my favorite TV series of all time - Hands Down - The Shield. For seven seasons I was absolutely riveted by the exploits of the Strike Team in the fictional Los Angeles district of Farmington, and that of their leader Vic Mackey, played to utmost perfection by Michael Chiklis. Sadly, the TV series came to an end last fall, with a series finale that is, in my opinion, the single best series finale in TV history ( to read my farewell piece to this amazing series) and now viewers can relive the TV magic with The Shield: The Complete Series, which hits the shelves in a massive 28-disc set on November 3.

Convention Report: Rock And Shock, October 18th
28 October 2009 3:40 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Lots of Snow and Juggalos
Sometimes I go to a faraway convention and say to myself, “This was well worth the trip.” Whether it be a long flight or car trip (not interrupted by hitting a deer, preferably), with weather variables, travel obstacles and bleary-eyed exhaustion added to the mix, the convention at the center of it all pays off. Such was the case with the Rock and Shock Weekend in Worcester, Ma that I attended on October 18th. Even with one aborted interview, a wet snowstorm and a bevy of Juggalos, I can’t help but smile at the thought of this con.
Along for the ride were my cantankerous buddy John (he used to go by Brando) who I’ve known since high school, and a more recent friend Jonathan, who’s as much a staple on the circuit as some of the guests. Each of us had »
Nancy's Mother Talks 'Elm Street' Remake and Keeping it Fresh
28 October 2009 3:07 PM, PDT | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
After doing this for roughly nine years, I'm finding there are two extremes when it comes to stars in franchise horror films. With the exception of Derek Mears (a mega-hardcore Friday the 13th fan), most stars have either never seen the source material, or straight-up lie and claim to be a huge fan. There's typically no inbetween. The NY Post Pop Wrap caught up with Connie Britton, who plays Nancy's mother in the forthcoming A Nightmare On Elm Street remake who reveals she had never seen the original (how? How?!). "You are going to be shocked to hear this: I'd never seen "Elm Street" before we started shooting. Isn't that funny?" adding that it was her intention to give her a fresh take on the character.

Nightmare , Friday the 13th Update from Fuller
27 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Brad Fuller is a producer who likes to stay connected with his fans. He keeps his Twitter account updated regularly about what he's got going on at Platinum Dunes. Today, he offered a tweet about A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th Part 2 that was short and sweet: "On the mixing stage working on Noes. Still hoping for some good news that will take us back to Crystal Lake." A Nightmare on Elm Street opens on April 30, 2010. Friday the 13th Part 2 is said to be arriving next August. Derek Mears is back to play Jason, but presently the project has not been given the official green light yet. »
Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: October 26, 2009
26 October 2009 7:55 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
This week:
Over the weekend the box office Saw some Paranormal Activity; Carl Ellsworth was hired by Paramount but he wants C.O.D (Cash On Delivery); True Blood’s Ryan Kwanten is Griff the Invisible; Derek Mears gears up for Predators and Laura Dern Meets Stiller and family.
Wow. It looks like the Saw franchise has finally come to a grisly end. The sixth film in the horror franchise opened with 50% less than what was predicted, earning a not-so-good $14.7 million. The film probably only cost about $15 million to make, but this poor gross means that it’ll have to have some serious overseas takings to make new installments viable.
The flipside to Saw’s demise was the $22 million that Paranormal Activity took over the weekend - from a thousand less screens than Saw!
With a cost of approximately $11,000 (yeah, you read that right) it looks like Oren Peli’s »

The New Jason Is Probably A Predator
21 October 2009 9:32 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
The cast of Robert Rodriguez's Predator reboot runs a weird gamut from highbrow-- Adrien Brody-- to lowbrow-- Danny Trejo-- with a lot of room left in the middle-- Topher Grace, good to see you! But chalk one up today for the lowbrow team, as Derek Mears, a.k.a. the new face of Jason in that Platinum Dunes reboot of Friday the 13th, has signed on to join the madness. Shock Til You Drop, which broke the news, isn't saying who he'll be playing, but there's reason to speculate he'll have his face shrouded again in costume as one of the Predators that Brody's team must defeat. Mears did a good job of being intimidating with nothing but his body in Friday the 13th, and I imagine they're looking for that skill from the actors hired to be inside the Predator suits. Sure, it's possible he'll be playing a human, »
