The first teaser trailer has been released for Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal’s reboot, Predators. Just a few days ago Rodriguez gave an exclusive sneak peek into the new Predator world at the opening of the SXSW Film Festval and now the official teaser is finally here. Are you ready for a new generation of aliens to hunt you down? Here’ s the trailer…
Fresh from wide acclaim at Cinevegas, Modus Operandi played the appropriate post-midnight slot at the AFI Fest last night. Four years in the making, it’s a Milwaukee-based Super8 homage to exploitation thrillers from the 70s, with CIA agents, mysterious briefcases, shady underworld double-crosses and lots of sexy girls. Characters have names like Black Liquorice, Casey Thunderbird and Agent Xanadu, people spend a lot of time drinking and taking phone calls in hot tubs and pools it’s strung together with a splendid funky score.
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.

Since it’s been confirmed that Robert Rodriguez is currently shooting his trailer turned feature Machete, some behind the scenes photos have popped up online. The most recent batch feature Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal (yes, he’s alive), Danny Trejo, and Rodriguez. I’m not exactly sure what their filming, but for some odd reason it involves Alba standing on an old school car in four inch heels. Make what you will of that when you view the photos below. Enjoy!
