kinda psyched, but not as psyched as i am for the new alien vs predator game.

Predator planet should be really dull and just nothing but office blocks and that's why they go on their galactic hunting jaunts

or it's really just the country predators that go hunting, the urban predators just watch movies about it and kind of look down on the practice.

Great, now I'm imagining the new Predators as Vogons.

If it's Predators hunting on the Bush family compound, I'll be psyched. Hard to say who's better armed though.

The Predator movies to date have all been depictions of Predator corporate bonding exercises.

Hollywood’s lining up to be hunted!

Adrien Brody is boarding to star in "Robert Rodriguez's Predators," Fox’s reboot of the sci-fi franchise being directed by Nimrod Antal. Rodriguez is producing with Elizabeth Avellan.

Topher Grace is in negotiations to join the action-adventure movie, to which Alice Braga ("I Am Legend"), Mahershalalhashbaz Ali ("The 4400"), Walt Goggins ("The Shield"), Rodriguez mainstay Danny Trejo and UFC fighter Oleg Taktarov have also been cast.

Written by Rodriguez, Alex Litvak and Michael Finch, the script follows a group of elite warrior-types who are being hunted by members of a race of merciless alien trackers called Predators.

Brody is a man who ends up inheriting the mantle of leader and is known as a hunter of men. Grace would play an accountant-type whose unassuming facade masks a dangerous serial killer.

Braga is the tough female killer. Ali is a man not afraid to die, Goggins is the loose canon of the group and Taktarov is a former Russian special ops agent.

Trejo, already cast, is Cuchillo, a hardened warrior with twin uzis strapped to his back.

Shooting begins next month in Hawaii then moves to moves to Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin. The movie is slated for a July 9, 2010, release.

Brody was last seen in Dario Argento’s “Giallo” and next voices the character of Rickity in Wes Anderson’s “The Fantastic Mr. Fox.” Grace will next be seen in New Line's ensemble romantic comedy "Valentine's Day."

Mahershalalhashbaz

holy balls what a great name

five months pass...

Gear up:

Michael Finch and Alex Litvak take writing credit on the film, in which a group of hardened killers -- played by the likes of Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga and Danny Trejo -- are dropped onto a safari planet used by the Predator creatures for hunting and sport. They are found by a man (Laurence Fishburne) who has, against the odds, survived on the planet. The film was shot partly in Hawaii but mostly in Austin at Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios. Rodriguez and Antal stressed that there was little computer-effects work done for the film. This is "no CG Predators," Antal said -- practical special effects were mostly used, and there were essentially no green-screen shots.

Rodriguez and Antal, joined by effects wizard Greg Nicotero, didn't reveal that many plot points at the event, offering mainly a slide show with concept art from the production. They also unveiled the Predator head from the film, which was a big hit with the crowd. People lined up to take a closer look as Nicotero worked a remote-control device to operate the creature's mouth and face.

Etc. etc.

topher grace and "hardened killer" doesn't really compute

You must have missed the final episode of That 70s Show, where he methodically takes out the entire cast ninja-style in under a half hour.

the pre-revive description said "Grace would play an accountant-type whose unassuming facade masks a dangerous serial killer," which makes a bit more sense.
