Footage from Rodriguez’s Predator Sequel Predators Revealed at SXSW

dumbworldorder — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 00:42:52 +0000

From Wired:

As in the original film, every Predator is a trophy hunter and an expert in stalking and killing its prey, but each monster has its own specialized skill. There’s a falconer Predator who has a little UAV that serves as its eyes in the sky, a dog handler Predator (we got to see production art of its dog, sort of a dinosaur-wolf hybrid) and a “Super Predator” the production team refers to as “Mr. Black.”

Rodriguez is a writer and producer on the project. A trailer was up but has been removed by 20th Century Fox. The movie comes out in July.

and that is only after seeing half of it. Drum-roll please. . .

There are so many people in this movie. Dude from Reno 911- Yeah he is in it.

Granted I haven’t seen a lot of the other choices for the Oscars this year. Why so many? Last year I said, I was going to have an Oscar party. It didn’t happen. I am OK with that.

Definitely when I get my ballot in the mail this year, I’m writing in Black Dynamite- fool is a bad ass with the nunchucks- if you know what is good for you- you will too.
