I find it disturbing that so many movies these days seem to be the result of losing a bet.

Mahershalalhashbaz Ali is a damn good name. But it'll never fit on the poster. From now on his name is Ali Debaumarche!
WHY IS EVERYTHING GETTING EITHER REMADE, REBOOTED OR REMASTERED? JUST LET THE CLASSICS REST PEACEFULLY DAMMIT!

Topher's supposed to be playing a serial killer in it. He should do well, considering how well he murdered my soul in Spiderman 3

Well at least we know, with Danny Trejo, we will have SOME badassery in this movie. I am not sure about Adrien Brody either.... great actor but is action his thing? I guess we will find out. But really, can't they just re-release the original? It would make plenty of money, I'm sure and it would spare the fans of the possibility of a terrible reboot.

Fuck everything Robert Rodriguez touches. He ruined From Dusk Till Dawn, overcheesed Sin City, and especially Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Shark Boy and Lava Girl?? Really? He's still riding his own coat-tails from el mariachi, the only good thing he's ever made, IMO.

I'd love to see an amazing Predator reboot, but in RRs hands why even bother?

I hear Beyonce is in it too.

@Drew and not U: What do you have against RR? I disliked certain parts of Sin City, yes, but Once Upon a Time in Mexico is not that bad and Sharkboy and Lava Girl was a KID'S MOVIE. What where you expecting?

And he ruined FDTD how exactly?

I'm actually looking forward to this. If they went with another group of bodybuilders as they did with the first movie, then it would've invited nothing but comparisons to the first film. However, by having the Predators focusing on prey who are more menacing in how they think than their physical build, RR could explore new aspects of the Predators' hunting rituals.

Stick Michael cera in there while you're at it. Wait. There may be a law against him and Jesse eisenberg appearing in the same movie.

I for one don't think that you need huge guys to play the parts of Special forces. The majority of the guys I have met in SF's are not hugely muscled. Not to say they couldn't rip me limb from limb, but size does not mean strenth. (think of the D-boys from "Blackhawk down")

Bodybuilders are bodybuilders. They are pretty much useless for any other activity; the amount of O2 you need to keep all that muscle going means that their cardio is terrible.

Bodybuilders mostly just sit there and look pretty.

I think the King Kong/monster association factor may have given Brody the edge. But if that really is the case would rather have seen Naomi Watts.

It's got Walter Goggins in it. Predators versus Shane "Cletus Van Damme" Vendrell. Bring in the rest of the Strike Team for Predator Remake 2 and I'll be there.

Hmm, not the best cast, particularly Alice Braga. Brody seems a bit girlyman to be fighting Predators, perhaps he'll hide behind Danny Trejo? He knows how to kick some ass. Good choice with Walt Goggins though, he was excellent on The Shield, hopefully he can bring some of that bad-assery to this film.

@DoctorSmashy: I guess I've just never like his style really. I love El Mariachi, but the rest of the trilogy was just too ridiculous IMO. FDTD was a joint project between RR and Tarantino (RR doing the second half of the movie and Tarantino the first). You can pretty much see exactly when RR takes over as all of the wit and style that made up the first half of the flick are tossed out the window. Sin City really was one of his better efforts, but I can't help but feel like it would have been phenomenal in the hands of someone else.

I just have a grudge against the guy, it's 100% personal, haha.

They managed to get Jake Gyllenhaal looking pretty fit for Prince of Persia. I hope they have something similar in store for him too lol.

@Drew and not U:

Uh, I hate to burst your bubble about FDTD but Tarantino penned the script for KNB as an effects showcase, then later on fleshed it out whenever Rodriguez signed on as the director.

And btw, RR was the ONLY director on the movie, Tarantino was the screenwriter and played Richie in it but didn't contribute to the directing chores at all. He helped direct a segment in Sin City and maybe that's what you're thinking of but he never directed the first half of FDTD.

You're right about it being a joint effort but wrong in thinking that Tarantino did anything other than writing and starring in it.

If Tarantino wrote the whole movie, then how did RR fuck up the second half? He didn't write any of the dialogue in the flick at all. It's all QT.

Any self respecting film geek knows that.

Christ.

There's nothing wrong at all with FDTD, it's a grindhouse/crime drama/vampire/comedy all rolled into one.

i'm betting someone went "oh shit, he kinda loojks like bear grylls" and that was that. shame.

I just wanted to rejoice in the title choice for this article as it is derived from one of my favorite quotes. Not just Jesse Ventura quotes, or hell, not just Predator quotes, but of all quotes of all time. Awesome.

I really miss when people actually tried to think new things up instead of rehashing and remaking old ideas. Hollywood needs to seriously fire their current line of producers and writers then start again with a new generation.

It'll never happen, but a dream is a dream.

Wait, Michael Cera & Jesse Eisenberg are not the same person?

Why remade a classic? Another Reimagining? No new ideas left? and is Brody replacing Arnie!?! Really? Geez!

They caught my attention with Oleg Taktarov though. (Woof!)

I would love to see FVP (Forman Vs Predator)

@Dorky Tough Guy: I stand corrected, haha. Still don't like him though!

Predators vs Skinny White Boys would make the most hilariously-bad-yet-somehow-awesome-movie-ever. And That 70's Show rocked.

Jesus Christ, someone needs to stop Hollywood from fucking up all of our favorites anymore. Adrien Brody is going to be the next Predator killer? Schwartzenegger, Glover, Brody? Does that really make sense. "We're gonna try to take Predator from a different angle" Give me a break.

Stop the abusive character naming for Danny Trejo, dammit! Cuchillo, Machete, Navaja, stop it!

@Drew and not U: What Dorky Tough Guy said.

I don't care about the Predator series, but I feel like Robert Rodriquez has the experience and expertise to pick a casting director who knows what he/she is doing. And let's remember that unconventional choices sometimes work out for the better. Remember how people bitched and made faces when they heard Heath Ledger was going to play the Joker? And remember how awesome it turned out?

hey, I think Adrian Brody is a total hottie, and being able to act is even better. Good for him!
