Texas native Robert Rodriguez will debut footage from his new film at this year’s SXSW Festival, which happens to be the highly anticipated Predators reboot. He’s been a mainstay at the festival for years and during his latest visit he’ll bring the first look at his version of those orally challenged aliens from above.
It sounds like Robert Rodriguez wants his Predators reboot to be a legit sci-fi/horror film. The film’s cast continues to grow with talented actors by the day. The latest to join in is Oscar nominee and current CSI honcho Laurence Fishburne, according to ShockTillYouDrop. Could this movie actually be good?
What in the Oscar winning hell is going on here? I love Robert Rodriguez, but I would have never thought in a million years that he could get Adrien Brody to do a Predator movie. According to THR, the actor has signed on for the lead role in Predators, which will be produced by Rodriguez and directed by Nimrod Antal. Brody will also be joined by several other name supporting cast members, including a That ’70’s Show alum.
If you’re a fan of Robert Rodriguez, the latest news regarding his reboot, Predators won’t come as a shock. It appears that character actor Danny Trejo is the first person to be cast in the film. Rodriguez will produce the sci-fi flick that will be directed by Nimrod Antal, and backed by TroubleMaker Studios. Trejo recently gave an interview with Punch Drunk Critics, where he discussed Predators, and even a little Machete.
