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 »

Next 'Alien' Will Visit Future Past
29 October 2009 9:05 PM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
Ridley Scott talked about the Alien prequel recently, and judging from what he said, it may not be what many fans are expecting.
The original Alien, which was released in 1979 and became Scott’s first big international hit, presumably showed mankind’s first encounter with the xenomorphs — the dual-jawed, acid-spitting creatures that became the series’ antagonists. With regards to the prequel, it had been speculated the film would tell how the xenomorphs ended up on Lv-426, the planetoid where they’re eventually found by the crew of the Nostromo.
But according to Scott, he and writer Jon Spaihts are rebooting the original Alien story with a human focus, and as such, it may prove that Ellen Ripley and her crewmates weren’t the first unfortunate humans to battle the space monsters.
Scott, who spoke to Empire, also confirmed the prequel would take place several decades before Alien. However, he did promise, »
Hellboy writer to direct Mortis Rex
27 October 2009 10:02 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Variety reports that Peter Briggs (pictured) will direct the supernatural actioner Mortis Rex for Frelaine Productions. One of the producers is Jim Jacks, whose credits include the Mummy series and a few films for Sam Raimi (who named David Paymer’s Drag Me To Hell character after him).
Mortis is set in Rome circa 122 A.D. and focuses on a disgraced war hero who gets a chance to salvage his reputation when he’s assigned to investigate strange and violent killings at a garrison. The producing team also includes Stuart Pollok, Matthew Dench and Marisa Kagan; Briggs, who co-wrote the first Hellboy feature, first broke onto the screenwriting scene with a highly regarded but eventually abandoned Alien Vs. Predator spec script, and has subsequently worked on Freddy Vs. Jason and an aborted period version of The War Of The Worlds. Shooting on Mortis Rex is scheduled to start next spring on British, »

Hey Kids - It's Time to Play Poovie With Justin Long!
16 October 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
I’ve been saying it for years, but perhaps it should be repeated one more time: The funniest person in Hollywood might just be Justin Long.
For exhibit A, check out the attached clip of a chat I had with Long about “Drag Me to Hell,” the awesome Sam Raimi thriller that hits DVD this week. During our conversation, he brought up a rude, crude, new game that might soon sweep the nation.
“I’ve been playing this movie game, it’s called Poovie,” the Mac pitchman and movie star said with a grin. “I’ll introduce it to you.”
“You come up with movie titles - you don’t change the movie titles - just straight-up movie titles that sound like they have to do with number two,” Long explained, giving us examples of some of his favorite films that also sound like someone possibly describing a bowel movement. »

Brody Becomes The Prey In New Predator Movie
7 October 2009 12:01 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Slender actor Adrien Brody will be stepping into Arnold Schwarzenegger's musclebound role in the new Predator movie.
Director Robert Rodriguez is rebooting the sci-fi movie franchise, which saw the now California governor battle a killer alien in the 1987 original.
Now, Oscar-winner Brody is set to take on a pack of the dreadlocked extra-terrestrials in the franchise's latest outing, which is set to hit cinemas in July 2010.
The Pianist star will play the leader of a fearless band of warriors, who are being hunted by the bloodthirsty Predators.
The monster has previously featured in a 1990 sequel, starring Danny Glover, as well as two spin-offs from the Alien films, 2004's Alien vs. Predator and 2007's Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. »
Famous action star Adrien Brody enlists in ‘Predators’
7 October 2009 8:25 AM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
In the odder side of movie news, Adrien Brody (The Pianist) has signed on to Nimrod Antal’s Predators for 20th Century Fox. The Oscar-winning actor will join Danny Trejo (Machete), Topher Grace, Alice Braga, made-up actor Mahershalalhashbaz Ali and Oleg Taktarov for the reboot of the famed ’80s action-sci-fi feature.
“When I looked at the news from The Hollywood Reporter, I just couldn’t believe my eyes. I’m a huge Adrien Brody fan. I simply adored him in The Brothers Bloom,” said Jon Mintez of the Predator Spectators Society (Psc). “In fact, if I didn’t start a Predators club, I would start a Brody club. I wish I could suckle his nostrils.” After the call I learned that the Psc had nothing to do with the line of Predator action films…
Predators will begin shooting in November in lush forests of Hawaii and at Robert Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Texas. »

Adrien Brody Joins Predators
7 October 2009 6:18 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
The infamous space Rastafarian will soon be setting his three red dot sights not only upon Danny Trejo, but also upon Adrien Brody (King Kong) and Topher Grace (Spiderman 3).
That’s right, director Nimrod Antal’s Predators, scripted and produced by Robert Rodriguez for Troublemaker Studios, seems to have gone off the deep end as far as casting decisions go — alongside Trejo, Brody, and Grace, we’ll also have Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, I Am Legend’s Alice Braga and the Ufc’s Oleg Taktarov.
The film will deal with a group of manly warriors (of which Brody is inexplicably a part) as they fight off a group of Predators, while the plot is thickened by Grace’s role as “an accountant-type whose unassuming facade masks a dangerous serial killer.”
This is definitely shaping up to be a project more akin to Rodriguez’s catalog than anything we’re familiar with in the past Predator series. »

Adrien Brody and Possibly Topher Grace Cast in Predators; Internet Becomes Concerned
6 October 2009 7:21 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I understand the need for redemption from the “Alien vs. Predator” movies and if adding more xenomorphs made “Aliens” an action-charged flick, then adding more Predators can’t be a horrible idea. Recent casting news seemed sensible: Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins, Alexa Braga, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali (his nickname is “Ali” although I can’t possibly imagine why he would need a nickname), and Ufc fighter Oleg Taktarov. A team of ass-kickers, just like in the original “Predator”. But who would lead this band of modern-day vikings?
Adrien Brody. Because when I think “bad-ass”, I think, “Adrien Brody”. That’s who’s leading them. Oh, and Topher Grace may also be in the gang, also as a bad-ass. Let this casting news sink in a bit and then hit the jump.

'Predators' Cast Begins With Adrien Brody and Topher Grace
6 October 2009 6:48 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
The Hollywood Reporter has opened the door to the casting for the Robert Rodriguez produced Predators, Fox's return to the Predator franchise that began with Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1987 and recently disappointed everyone with two Alien vs. Predator films, most recently in 2007. The script for this latest version was penned by Rodriguez, Alex Litvak and Michael Finch and will be directed by Nimrod Antal (Vacancy).
The news carries some heavy weight at the top as Adriend Brody will star as a man who ends up inheriting the mantle of leader and is known as a hunter of men in the film following a group of elite warrior-types who are being hunted by members of a race of merciless alien trackers called Predators.
Joining Brody will be one-time "That '70s Show" star Topher Grace playing an accountant-type whose unassuming facade masks a dangerous serial killer; I Am Legend's Alice Braga playing »

Danny Trejo joins 'Predators' reboot
6 October 2009 4:42 AM, PDT | Denver Movies Examiner | See recent Denver Movies Examiner news »
Now that Robert Rodriguez’s Machete has entered post-production, Danny Trejo will now move over to the famed director’s other project: Predators.
Directed by Rodriguez’s pal Nimrod Antal, Predators is a reboot of the hit series that originally starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura and Carl Weathers who sadly never landed a cush governorship. The 1987 film, Predator, spawned a sequel in 1990 and two Alien Vs. Predator movies in the mid-2000s.
No word on which role the 65-year-old Trejo will play but something tells me that it’ll be something arse-kicking.
Predators revolves around a group of stranded travelers on a Predator plant who “discover unspeakable horrors.”
The films is due out July 7, 2010 while Machete does not yet have a firm release date. »

New Predators’ Looks Going Back to Basics
25 September 2009 7:13 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The original Predator design was awesome. A mean-looking alien complete with sci-fi gadgets and those weird appendages hanging from the head giving it a unique and memorable look. For the sequel, the monster was more urban to fit with the new environment of the film, and although it wasn't really met with great success, it was decent. Then along came Alien vs. Predator and screwed up the design (as well as both of the franchises some would argue), over-gadgeting the monster, reshaping its head and making its appendages look like dreadlocks. AvP Requiem sort of fixed it, but the design was still below that of the original. What AvP Requiem tried to fix but failed, hopefully Robert Rodriguez and his team will be able to correct in their continuation of the franchise, Predators. Effects guy Howard Berger has told Moviehole [1] that his team has now finished the design for the new Predator on paper, »

What will the Predators look like in the new Rodriguez film? More like the original. What a relief. Alien Vs. Predator brought a new look for the dreadlocked extraterrestrial, something more of the steampunk variety. This did not go over too well with the die hards of the original from 1987. That predator was raw, gritty, and more believable in the beginning. Oh, and before the Avp fans get angry, the first film was alright, the second (Requiem) was total crap. Moving onwards, Howard... »

Enjoy Another Three Musketeers
4 September 2009 6:42 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
The Three Musketeers, Alexandre Dumas' classic tale of friendship and sword fights, has been adapted countless times for the big screen, starting as early as 1903. But has it ever appeared in 3-D with Resident Evil director Paul W.S. Anderson at the helm? Not yet, but it soon will.
Anderson, best known for horror/sci-fi movies like Resident Evil and Avp: Alien vs. Predator, has also written the screenplay, along with Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones's Diary). Production will begin next year for a 2011 release, after Anderson has finished Resident Evil: Afterlife.
For those thinking Anderson's Musketeers will be anything like Disney's 1993 production that starred Chris O'Donnell, Kiefer Sutherland, and Charlie Sheen, think again. Besides possibly being one of the few movie properties to start its life in the silent era and then end up in 3-D, Anderson has a whole new Musketeers vision:
