Fox, Rodriguez Rebooting Predator Series
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".

Predators: Robert Rodriguez führt nicht Regie
Gestern erst berichteten wir, dass "Sin City"-Regisseur Robert Rodriguez einen Reboot der "Predator"-Reihe für Fox übernehmen wird. Nun schiebt Rodriguez dieser Ankündigung allerdings noch eine wichtige Meldung nach. Er werde den "Predators" betitelten Film weder selbst inszenieren noch das Drehbuch schreiben. Er fungiere als Produzent, zudem werde der Film in seinen Studios in Austin, Texas gedreht und von ihm kreativ betreut. Folglich müssen jetzt noch ein Autor und Regisseur gefunden werden. Oder stehen diese möglicherweise schon fest?
Denn Fox verkündete nun bereits ein Startdatum. "Predators" soll schon am 7. Juni 2010 in die US-Kinos kommen, müsste demnach also in Kürze in Dreh gehen. Zum Inhalt ist bisher immerhin schon ein wenig bekannt. Wie der Titel schon andeutet, werden dieses Mal gleich mehrere Predatoren die Erde unsicher machen. Sie werden auf ein Team von Elite-Soldaten treffen, ähnlich wie im Original mit Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Rodriguez erklärte weiter, er selbst werde in Kürze die Produktion seines Action-Films "Machete" starten. Basierend auf einem der Fake-Trailer aus "Grindhouse", wird die Geschichte des von Danny Trejo gespielten Rächers Machete erzählt. Rodriguez führt dabei gemeinsam mit seinem langjährigen Cutter Ethan Maniquis Regie.
Direkt danach sollen die Dreharbeiten an den Sci-Fi-Action-Film "Nerverackers" beginnen, der im April 2010 in die US-Kinos kommen soll.
Der jüngste Film von Robert Rodriguez, die bunte Familienkomödie "Das Geheimnis des Regenbogensteins" soll noch in diesem Jahr in die Kinos kommen.

Es sieht so aus das Rodriguez Schwarzenegger zurückholen möchte:
“They’ve written a role for him” a second source later told us via email. ‘’Rodriguez is as against the idea of a straight-up remake as much as anyone – which is why they’re considering this an official sequel to John McTiernan’s film. 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”.

Predators Director Confirmed By Rodriguez
Ain't it Cool News' Harry Knowles gave a ring to Robert Rodriguez to get confirmation on who's at the helm of Predators, 20th Century Fox's next film in the franchise. And it is Nimrod Antal, the man behind the upcoming action flick Armored and who last dabbled in the thriller genre with Vacancy. You'll recall Latino Review broke Antal's potential involvement here.
Rodriguez, who is shepherding the project, says the story involves "a very intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors - that are not always from outside their group. So like the original movie, the title does have a double meaning. 'Aliens' was a different take on the Alien idea, and an original movie in it's own right, and that's what we want to do with this."

Brody Leads "Predators" Team for Fox
In a surprise development, Adrien Brody has been set by 20th Century Fox to play the heroic mercenary who battles alien hunters in “Predators,” a reboot of the “Predator” franchise that is being creatively spearheaded by Robert Rodriguez.
Brody will star with Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walt Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, and Louiz Ozawa.
Nimrod Antal is directing a film that is about to get underway on location in Hawaii and at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.
Fox has set the film for release July 9, 2010.
Best known for his Oscar-winning turn in the Roman Polanski-directed “The Pianist,” Brody has an opportunity to reinvent himself as a flat out action hero, playing a character close to the one that Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayed in the 1987 original.
Brody and his Paradigm reps lobbied hard for the role. Fox has high hopes to spring a new franchise, and Brody has signed options to return for future installments, sources said.

At the same time, The Hollywood Reporter's "Heat Vision Blog" is reporting that actor Topher Grace (Spider-Man 3, "That '70s Show") is in negotiations to join Brody as Edwin, an accountant who is in fact a dangerous serial killer.

Predators: Regisseur gibt angestrebtes Rating bekannt
Im Juli nächsten Jahres wird Predators von Nimród Antal (Kontroll, Motel) in die Kinos kommen. Der 3. Teil der Filmreihe, die mit Arnold Schwarzeneggers Ausflug in den Dschungel begann, wird von Robert Rodriguez' Troublemaker Studios und von 20th Century Fox produziert.
Wie bei sovielen Genre-Filmen wird es im Netz in den Monaten vor dem Release zahlreiche Diskussionen um die Schauspieler (hier insbesondere Adrien Brody (Der Pianist) und Topher Grace (70s Show)), der Handlung und auch der Altersfreigabe geben. Die Auswirkungen auf das Einspiel können verheerend sein, wenn sich unter den Fans eine negative Grundstimmung gegenüber dem Film breitmacht. Gerade 20th Century Fox ist hier vorbelastet und genießt wenig Vertrauen der Fans.
Bei FOX (die auch Stirb Langsam 4.0 leider erfolgreich ein Kiddie-Image verpasst haben) ist die Gefahr groß, dass man Predators mit einem PG-13 in die Kinos kriegen möchte. Man machte sich zwar mit dem zahmen und für viele ärgerlichen ersten Alien vs. Predator (PG-13) so wenig Freunde, dass man Teil 2 dann doch wieder mit R-Rating in die Kinos brachte und diesen Umstand bis zum Erbrechen in der Werbekampagne miteinfließen lies, blieb mit diesem R-Experiment aber hinter dem Einspiel des 1. Teils zurück. Gerade in den USA wurde nur die Hälfte des Vorgängers an der Kinokasse eingespielt (beide waren dennoch lukrativ). Aus wirtschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten wäre ein PG-13 für Predators also vertretbar, da Studios gegenwärtig auf der Suche sind nach massentauglichen und erfolgreichen Franchises und vieles mit Ecken und Kanten (wie einem R-Rating) nicht mehr so gerne selbst in Angriff nehmen.
Um zumindest der R/PG-13-Diskussion im nächsten Jahr aus dem Weg zu gehen, macht Regisseur Nimród Antal also jetzt schon deutlich, dass der Film definitiv R-Rated sein wird. Die Rating-Frage war es wohl nach Meinung vieler, die in den USA Terminator Salvation dieses Jahr das Genick brach. Rodriguez' Beteiligung und die Versicherung, dass die Federführung bei Troublemaker Studios und nicht bei FOX liegt, sollen weitere negative Kritik im Vorfeld so sehr einschränken, wie es nur geht.

Warum kann man nicht einfach erstmal den Film machen und dann nach einen Rating schauen?  |

Robert Rodriguez's Predators Attack SXSW!
Producer/writer Robert Rodriguez, director Nimród Antal and creature designer and FX man Greg Nicotero showed up at South by Southwest Film Festival with the first trailer and some surprises from their upcoming movie Predators, a rousing "First Look" presentation that had people lining up for hours earlier and desperately trying to get the special priority passes (of which there were only 45 available.) Fortunately, ShockTillYouDrop.com was able to get in and here's a quick overview of what was shown and said.
Being a local filmmaker who made the movie mostly at his Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Rodriguez wanted to make the presentation special by showing the footage at the legendary Alamo Drafthouse, a venue most movie lovers will have heard of, but one that’s obviously way too small to meet the demand of everyone who has been dying to see what Rodriguez and Antal had been up to for the last nine or ten months. (You can get some idea what’s going on by checking out the sneak peak on the official site which went online concurrently here as well as see an exclusive poster distributed at the event here.)
After being introduced, Rodriguez came out and started talking about how the project came about in the mid-‘90s when he had been asked to write a treatment for a "Predator" sequel back while he was still waiting to make "Desperado." He came up with the idea which would eventually be morphed into this movie, and at the time, he even had written Arnold’s character into the script; he then pitched it to Arnold, who decided not to return to the franchise, Rodriguez moved onto other things, Fox decided to make two "Alien vs. Predator" movies, which eventually brought them back to Rodriguez’s initial premise.
Rodriguez showed the first trailer, which will be in front of Repo Men next week, and it gives a really good idea about the general premise and what to expect from the visuals. It opens with a shot of a starry sky in outer space that morphs into a worm’s eye view of a jungle, as Adrien Brody’s voice asks "What’s the last thing you remember?" and someone’s voice states that they remember a light and then they were falling. We then see a man falling down through the trees of the jungle and encountering the others who go around introducing themselves; the character Stans played by Walton Goggins says he was supposed to be executed a few days ago, a couple more were in the middle of combat, Alice Braga’s character says she’s Black Ops while the character played by Louis Ozawa Changchien says he’s "Yakuza." Braga suggests they work as a team, to which Danny Trejo’s character responds, "Does this look like a team-oriented group of individuals to you?"
A placard comes up stating, "They’re the most dangerous killers on the planet" and then, "But this isn’t their planet," signifying they are in fact somewhere out in space rather than on earth. Braga asks, "Who would do this to us?" and we start hearing the telltale clicking noises made by the Predators, the creepy music intensifies and there’s a red pulsating light almost like a heartbeat with a high tone adding to it. Lawrence Fishburne says "They can hear you, smell you, see you…" and Brody says, "We were chosen." "Chosen for what?" Braga asks. "This planet is a game preserve," he tells her, "And we’re the game." We then see a very cool shot of Brody as seven or eight of those trademark Predator tri-prong laser sights are trained on his body. The rest of the trailer are shots of them being chased and trapped in nets and the word "fear" appears on screen, followed soon after by "Is reborn" and Brody says, "I want you to kill them however you can." We see a couple quick shots of the new Predators including a partial shot of one discussed below, and a longshot of one letting out a battle cry similar to the first movie before it ends on the "Predators" logo. (A little while later, Rodriguez showed an extended version of this trailer with a few more shots and lines, just a little bit longer but generally the same structure.)
He then brought out Antal and the two of them talked about how the Hungarian filmmaker wanted to bring more horror elements into the movie, being that’s been his strength from his earlier films Kontrol and Vacancy. The idea is very much based on the literary classic "The Most Dangerous Game" where a tribe of Predators has brought a group of soldiers and mercenaries to an alien planet with a terrain similar to earth’s jungle in the first movie in order to study Earth’s best fighters so that the Predators can perfect their own skills. As noted in the trailer, one big difference between Predators and the first movie is that it featured a band of soldiers who worked together as a team before encountering the single Predator. In this one, it’s a disparate group being forced to work together to survive. Although they’re facing a different tribe of Predators than the first movie, Rodriguez and Antal promised the original Predator from the first movie would be making an appearance, and they even brought its animatronic head along with them, so that people could touch and take pictures with it!
Rodriguez dispelled any rumors that the movie would be anything but R-rated, them having even created an end logo for the trailer where the word "Predators" poured away in red blood leading on the "R" remaining, but the MPAA wouldn’t approve that.
Rodriguez then showed an extended clip of the group encountering something they hadn’t seen before (and this is kind of a spoiler, because it gives a reveal of one of the main characters, so you might want to skip the rest of this paragraph if you worry about that sort of thing.) The clip opened with them walking through the woods having just killed one of the creatures and they start hearing strange noises all around them as the camera pans around them, then a menacing Predator appears directly behind Brody with a gun pointed at his head, but when asked "What the f*ck are you?" by Brody, it removes its helmet and (suspenseful drumroll) it’s Lawrence Fishburn! Apparently, he arrived on the planet before them and he figured out that the best way to survive was to pretend he’s one of them. He tells the group that they’re talking too loud and that if he can smell them or hear them, then they (the Predators) can, too. When Braga asks who he is, he responds by saying, "I’m the one that got away, the one you don’t f*ck with."
The filmmakers then brought out Greg Nicotero who worked on the original Predator as part of the KNB FX crew; he was brought on board to help design and realize the new Predators for the movie. As they talked about the project, a lot of conceptual art of the new Predators and environments for the movie were shown on the screen, although we were told a lot of what was being shown were initial visual ideas and not all of it is from the movie. Still, we could get a really good idea what went into the creature design for the new movie, which builds upon the ideas from the first movie. (Rodriguez even shared with the audience that he got confirmation from James Cameron that the filmmaker had indeed suggested the idea for the Predator’s distinctive mouth to Stan Winston.)
Even though there would be a lot of new Predators for the movie, they’re all seemingly going to have different looks and personalities based on their hunting techniques, and that involved different colored armor as well as them looking different underneath the distinctive helmets. The most intriguing new Predator may be the one who uses a "flushing" technique where you send dogs out to chase the prey out of wherever they’re hiding; this one wields large spikey creatures that were titled as "Hell Hounds" in some of the concept art but were referred to as "Pred-Hounds" by the filmmakers. Another one takes on the form of a "hawker" with a mechanical bird-like creature that acts like his "eye in the sky." The worries some people had about creatures being called "Super-Predators" in the script were unfounded, since those were just a generic term used to differentiate the different creatures for the FX teams. Also, anyone worried about them using CG Predators or just using a lot of CG at all as seems to be the norm these days, should put those fears to rest as Rodriguez mentioned they barely used the green screen stage he has at his studio, and that he was more psyched than most to be able to walk out into the parking lot and see the creature performers and stunt people walking around wearing Predator suits.
Of course, before the end of the presentation, Rodriguez was asked whether the movie was being geared for 3D, because obviously, every other movie being made is being tailored that way. He mused on his own experiences with 3D on Spy Games 3D from before 3D was considered "cool"--he even had to pay for the glasses out of his own pocket!-- but he said that Predators is not being planned for 3D nor will it be converted, because he doesn’t think it looks as good as actually filming using the 3D cameras.
Predators is scheduled to open on July 7.

Eine Gruppe von Elite-Kämpfern aus den unterschiedlichsten Teilen der Welt landet auf unerklärliche Weise auf einem fremden Planeten. Schon bald ahnen sie warum: Sie wurden geholt, um Teil eines mörderischen Spiels zu werden, in dem sie als Beute ausgesetzt sind. Und die Jäger sind die Predators.
Royce (Adrien Brody) führt die skrupellose Gruppe an, die mit Ausnahme des Arztes Edwin (Topher Grace) aus menschlichen Predators besteht: Söldner, japanische Yakuza, Schwerverbrecher und Mitglieder des Todesschwadrons. Doch die Jäger werden nun selbst gejagt und systematisch eliminiert – von einer neuen Rasse Predators!
PREDATORS, ein neues Kapitel in der legendären Predator Reihe, entstand unter der kreativen Leitung von Robert Rodriguez. In weiteren Rollen sind Laurence Fishburn und Dany Trejo zu sehen.
