Robert Rodriguez and director Nimród Antal will present a "First Look" at their upcoming motion picture Predators, at SXSW on March 12, 2010. The special presentation of will take place at the Alamo Ritz Theater in downtown Austin, at 10:15pm. Doors open at 9:45pm, and the special event is only open to SXSW Badge-holders on a first-come, first-served basis. An audience Q&A follows the unveiling. SXSW Badges are still available for purchase at www.sxsw.com/attend.



Predators was shot on location under Rodriguez's creative auspices at the filmmaker's Austin-based Troublemaker Studios, and is directed by Nimród Antal. The film stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. With the exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold- blooded killers - mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members - human "predators" that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators. In addition to Adrien Brody, the film stars Topher Grace, Alice Braga, and Laurence Fishburne. Co-starring are Walton Goggins, Danny Trejo, Oleg Taktarov and Mahershalalhashbaz Ali.



Robert Rodriguez: "My director Nimród Antal and I are excited to bring this first look at Predators to Austin's SXSW Film Festival, an event that's become vital to the filmmaking scene. Austin is my home and I'm proud that Predators was conceived and filmed here."

Film Conference & Festival Producer Janet Pierson: "Robert Rodriguez and Troublemaker Studios are a continued fountain of filmmaking creativity and innovation here in Austin, TX. We couldn't be more proud to present the unveiling of Predators at our 2010 event."

So if you're in Austin, why not get your ass down to that theater and have a look. And if you can, nab some footage for us here!..No, I'm joking of course, we don't condone piracy on CBM. Maybe just a photograph though.

Hated both AVP movies, did like Pred 2 though. The cast they got for this alone has me psyched.

Haven't seen a good Predator movie since part 2. Likewise with the Alien films. I want to be hyped for this movie but something just tells me that its not gonna be that good. Just a feeling though.

@ anil

they already said that it would aknowledge Pred 1, but not 2. its not necessarily retconning 2 though, it could just happen in between those two movies...

@ supermario

yeah, the second aliens movie was awesome! its an all time favorite of mine. 3 sucked. alien resurrection was good...until the very end ruined it with that Ripley clone-alien-queen-hybrid-with-down-syndrome thing showed up. that ruined the entire rest of the movie. :(

OK WAIT...PREDATORS USE THE MASK HELMETS BECAUSE MAYBE OUR AIR IS DIFFERENT...WHY WOULD THEY WEAR THEIR HELMETS ON THEIR PLANET? IS IT JUST A WARRIOR THING?MAYBE THEIR HELMETS DONT HAVE THE ELABORATE BREATHING MECHANISMS ..I DUNNO

@corndog

Yeah man. The other Alien movies were terrible. It's a shame too because David Fincher directed the third movie, and if Fox had not screwed him over, we might have gotten a good third Alien movie. I just plain hated Resurrection. In my mind, the Alien films ended with part 2. Same with Predator, Terminator, etc.

Predator 2 has its moments, and I like the concept (concrete jungle) but there are scenes of sheer awfulness in that film that are unforgivable.

And let’s not even begin to talk about what's wrong with both AVP's (yes the second is marginally better, but then it would take skill to be worse).

We've yet to have a really great follow-up to the original - Predators IS that film!

Big Chico loves him self some “Predator” news, and today we found and interview with Howard Berger of effects shop KNB about the new “Predator reboot. He is quoted as saying:

“I just saw some photos today and they look absolutely fantastic!,” said Berger, who got his start working with Stan Winston on movies like Predator and Aliens.
”wanted to have the Predator look as it did in the original film. We went back and looked at the original. I actually worked in the shop with Stan Winston on the first film. It was great to be able to go back to the series having not been involved in any of the sequels, and it was also great to be able to make sure we built them as Stan Winston did.”

“They look really fantastic. There’s a whole bunch of cool [Predators] in the film, and every one’s going to be very happy that we’ve been very faithful to the Stan Winston designs… It’s shooting very soon.”
Robert Rodriguez-produced Predators will be directed by Nimrod Antal and is set for a July 7, 2010 opening. Here’s a short synopsis of the movie: A very intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors – that are not always from outside their group.

This is really good news! The first “predator” was awesome and the look of the first predator took us all by surprise. The only apprehension I have is, if they are going to put people on the Predator home world there is going to have create a whole new mythos about the predators other then they hunt in the Hottest weather. Predator’s is a great franchise and I would love to see their civilization explained.


id hit it...

Well they've already droped the ball on the hieght of the predators. Kevin Peter Hall was 7'2 in custume about 7'6 or better, maybe even taller with the helmet on. The main predators in the first 2 movie were unquestionably tall, In AVP not so much but maybe thats because they were fat making them look shorter.

I wish they would have used one of the stories from the comis. I also hope that atleast one of the predators lives. This whole killing the predator at the end of every movie makes the endings predictable as hell and takes away from their badassness. Both arnie and Danny just got lucky.

Girl Predators kinda go against the whole hunter gatherer social tribal thing... I'm not a fan =| they should be home gardening and raising babies. Its what tribes do, and I'm assuming that the predator mythos is heavily influensed by tribal cultures. I think that they would be more of a "Mans Man" kind of society. Not an equal aprotunity employer.

hopefuly the predators dnt luk crazy over grown like in avp. Predator 1 nd 2 had a big predator but it lukd more athletic than bulky. I was dat disappointd bout avp i didnt see d 2nd 1. Ne good?
vonstallin
vonstallin - 3/3/2010, 11:42 AM
I can see maybe one female pred that defys the mythos and fight like one of the boys... but id rather see it in the comics.

Colton - 3/3/2010, 11:44 AM
@thatis crazy i tink its jus camera angle at dat moment. Its lukin up nd guy n front is standin on lower ground. I tink so anyway
vonstallin
vonstallin - 3/3/2010, 11:45 AM
Colton...its worth seeing. rent or snatch up a super cheap used one on amazon. thats what i do with movies peps say are no good like Punisher War one. Got it for $3.50 and i have to say ....I loved it so it was worth the price. AVP2 should have some cheap copies 4 sale. I hated most of the actors in AVP2, but I was rooting for the Pred.

@ Gunsmith

predators don't wear helmets because the air might be deadly. thats part of it, but the helmets also let them see in the different vision modes. they are one of their tools. remember, Preds know what the earth is made up of, they wouldn't continue to wear helmets knowing the air isn't harmful.

@ deadpool

the new AVP video game is crap. i'm so disappointed. the marine campaign is fun. the preds don't have enough weapons and die too easily, and the aliens are VERY disorienting, and the controls make it hard to use them. the campaign modes are WAY too short. no one plays online, and when you do play online it takes forever to find a game. also, multiplayer needs more than 2 maps...FOR ANY GAME. so disappointing. the old PC AVP games were WAY better. maybe i'll do a review of it when i get home, so i can tear it a new one.

Is that seriously how the Predator are going to look? This looks horrible so far. I guess they have to make the Predators look like pre-school versions in order to make a believable action hero out of Adrian Brody. I think the guy is a pretty good actor, but He and Topher "Eric" Grace as mercs...I'm just not buying it.
I'm convinced someone is getting paid to run this series in to the ground.

@ corndogburglar didn't you get any enjoyment out of the way you could f*** up the xenomorph,marines or androids for example ripping out the xenomorphs extra mouth or breaking its back over you're knee,i thought these were nice touches & its the best alien/predator game ever.

@ matx

they'll look much better on film. things always do with the correct angles and lighting.

i would like to see a predator chick in the film,and in the aliens film maybe a zoo,or a cargo ship picks up some alien eggs and they get on some of the animals and look different from each other with different things they can do.and just build a really big story,cast,and plot and i would love to see that alien film.i think doing something differnet with them but keeping the same tone as the others is whats needed.

@ deadpool

i did like the trophy kills, in my opinion, those are what saved this game from being frisbee'd out my car window already, lol. i was just really pissed to find out that i beat all three campaigns in 4 hours. thats just terrible. the marine campaign was really fun though, i'll give it that. and the graphics were beautiful. the trophy kills were VERY cool. but those things weren't enough to make up for the bad parts.

in this day and age, you don't charge 60 bucks for a 4 hour game, with crap multiplayer options. and 2 maps for multiplayer??? thats insane!!! it could be the best Multiplayer game ever made, and STILL no one would play it with only 2 maps.

its just a lot of the little things that made the PC AVP games awesome, are missing from this. why don't the Marines have night vision again?? instead we get a flashlight that is the equivalent of trying to read a newspaper in the dark with a laser pointer. they had night vision in the others, why not this?

@ 1chris2

thats something i've always wanted in an alien movie. we KNOW that aliens take on some of the properties of the race that they are born from. alien 3 = dog alien, runs on all fours. i can't believe that they've never taken advantage of that in a movie, and had different animal type Xenos. i totally agree with you there man!

i remember in one of the batman vs. aliens series, a facehugger got on a, alligator. (don't ask me how that worked, lol). and bats had to fight a alligator-xeno. thats kind of cheese, but other animals, like a gorillas or something would be cool to see.

@ ThatIsCrazy: There ARE Female Yautja... Most of them stay on their planet, doing domestic stuff, and breeding. But in the comics, there ARE rare cases of female hunters, but they DO exist.

And just because she's masked and holding a blade, it DOESN'T make her a hunter. The Yautja ARE a combat loving society: She could be getting ready for some foreplay.
