Robert Rodriguez (pictured) talked recently with AICN about his upcoming reboot of the horror/action classic "Predator", which is now being called
Predators, and should hit cinemas next year or in 2011. When asked what he plans to do with this updated version, Rodriguez responded with..."PREDATOR is a masterpiece of the action/science fiction genre. Its been borrowed from so much in other movies and even video games (that will now probably be turned into movies themselves) that I liked the idea that we could have PREDATORS made relatively quickly. What I'd like to do with it is expand on ideas I dreamt up back in the original treatment, that had really expanded on the universe both the Predators and other species live in. We'd create new otherworldly characters while not taking away from the draw our main Predator has. I think another reason I called it Predators was to mark it as a project that should be taken seriously by a filmmaker to make a worthy follow up to a classic, much in the way Cameron made Aliens a compelling work on its own, following Ridley Scott's Alien." |
That question was then followed up by another big question, which was would Arnold Schwarzenegger return in some capacity as Dutch? Rodriguez responded..."This is still the early stages, so we haven't approached him about taking part. As things develop further, we'll keep you posted, because this is obviously a fan favorite." You can read more by visiting AICN above. Meanwhile we received a little our of own "Predators" news this morning, which speaks of Rodriguez currently looking for a director and writer for the new movie, which means for the time being...he will only be producing this one.
