29th July Rodriguez Interview

Relevant parts quoted below.

Cinematical: You are behind the rebooting of the Predator franchise. Reimagining it? What is the thought behind that?

RR: Well, I had written sort of a sequel to it back in '94, it took place off-world and they kind of didn't make any more for a few years until they decided to do Alien vs. Predator. And then they kind of wanted to go back and they said "Nah. We went down the wrong road with that." They found my old script and, "Hey. Make that! Can you make it at Troublemaker and just kind of do your own thing down there and not make it a studio movie?" They kind of like how I make stuff down there, so they give me a lot of freedom. It's great.

There are some huge fans of the Predator down there in my studio. I walk around the office and see all my CG artists, and they have all got busts of the Predator and statues of Predator. It is like, "OK. Obviously everybody here loves Predator!" So I think that's a good project for us.

Nothing new there, I wish he'd talk about the changes they're going to make from the old script though. However he does talk about Mechete, Red Sonja, Sin City 2 and Shorts for those interested.

Thanks the the guys at Cinematical.

A (+) for them.

"OK. Obviously everybody here loves Predator!"

Didn't we hear the same kind of talk for AVP-R...

...and AvP!

Not even any good info for Machete. What a terrible interviewer. He should have pulled a knife and MADE HIM TALK!

Generally, I think, filmmakers frown upon that.
