    Predators

    http://http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/en...nt/8016547.stm

    Im feeling all kinds of things right now, just read this off the bbc and Im mixed between shocked, angry, even a little happy.

    No idea what Robert can do though as most his violence is comical and unless he uses JUST Pred 1 and 2 as references for this movie I can see it being as **** as AVP1+2. Im prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, thank god Paul Anderson is no where near this!

    leave it alone, how can they better Carl Weathers, Jesse the Body and a peak Arnie, the original Predator done by John McTiernan wasn't a dumb ass action film and it can't be bettered.

      Danny Glover's probably available for the lead.

        Normally I'd automatically be against this sort of thing but I loooove Robert Rodriguez's films. He just seems like such a cool dude in interviews and on DVD bonus things, so I'm actually looking forward to seeing what he does with it.

        It's worth pointing out that this is being called a relaunch, not a remake. Remaking the first film is pointless because it's practically perfect (except for the bit when you can see Carl Weathers's arm after it's supposed to have been blown off. After all these years I still can't work out how they missed this) but a proper series relaunch treated with respect would be extremely welcome.

        Great to hear Machete's actually getting made, too.

            I love they way the script is called Predators.

            Like Rodriguez thinking that if he 'does a Cameron' and adds an -s to the name of a highly-esteemed original, it'll act like some positive hex on the project and be as legendary as Aliens.

              Yeah total film had this.
              "I'm going to be able to shoot my upcoming Machete here, a sci-fi action film called Nerveracker, a reboot of the Predator series called Predators, and a couple of smaller movies called Sin City 2 and The Jetsons," Rodriguez said at a recent press conference.

              In a word...****...

                His violence is often comical but it is also usualy extreamly gory and expertly handled, I'd rather have someone like him making this than the latest pop video director....

                It could actualy be good...

                As for changing the name, I presume they are calling it that becuase theres more than one main predator in it? There never has been in previous films, hence no s. Dont think its anything to do with James Cameron and Aliens.

                  Also did anyone else not like the bulkier versions in AvP? I think they were NBA players in the pred suits for them but I hope they revert to the look of the original Yautja from Pred 1 n 2.

                  By the way this place is a ridiculous resource for all things Preddy http://www.geocities.com/hollywood/h...256/intro.html

                    Not necessary!

                    It’ll be near impossible to cast that many charismatic actors again. Then he'll have to tweak (I.e. completely nurf) the soundtrack, the cinematography, the special effects; which yeah, look dated but not bad.

                    Only upside I guess, is at least he’s half way decent; as opposed to the guy they want to reboot Alien - Paul Anderson.

                        shame mainly because the movie doesnt need a remake

                        the film itself is almost perfect, the only thing FOX could do it re-shoot a couple of ropey special effects

                        apart from that - it will be a mess

                        No Arnie

                        No Jesse Ventura

                        No Carl weathers (in his prime)

                        No Kevin Peter hall and there isnt really anybody his size in hollywood at the moment which means the monster will be all special effeects like the Hulk

                        No Sonny Landham (in his prime)

                        and especially Bill Duke (in his prime)

                          It's not a remake. It's a relaunch. There is a difference. Can you imagine how good this will be if it's similar to Batman Begins and Casino Royale as far as relaunching a series goes?

                              If anyone can tell me a film that he has done that is good, then ill change my mind about this.

                              Sharkboy? Crap
                              Dusk Till Dawn? ****
