We told you as much on Jan 1st 2008, the moment ALIEN VS. PREDATOR: REQUIEM failed to light up the box office that a full reboot of both franchises was inevitable.
Now we are hearing word from Bloody Disgusting’s “trusted sources” that Robert Rodriguez is on board to produce for Fox with his Troublemaker Studios but probably won’t direct (which means the project might actually get made unlike most of those Rodriguez has his name currently attached too).
No writer is on board yet but we do have a pitch…
“In the reboot a team of commandoes face down a mysterious race of vicious monsters.”
The news is there won’t just be one Predator but TWO! So much for man vs. alien!
Rodriguez, if I remember correctly wrote a screenplay for a PREDATOR movie set on his alien homeworld which was rejected as being “too expensive” before 20th Century Fox decided to go with Paul W.S. Anderson’s take of a battle between the juggernauts Alien and Predator.
If that script is still lying around, maybe, just maybe, Rodriguez might push for that to be used and come into the director’s chair. I love the original PREDATOR movie but I look at actors like The Rock, I look at actors like Terry Crews, like Ron Perlman and Mickey Rourke… and well I get excited about what Rodriguez could do with them here.
There’s definitely a case of becareful what you wish for but a Robert Rodriguez PREDATOR stand-alone movie, is something I would pay to see. Is that so bad, have I sinned?
