Dumbworld: A Sacramento Based Blog on Entertainment, Media and Art

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.

“The Conversation is a grass-roots gathering, developed by a group of filmmakers, investors, entrepreneurs, journalists, and consultants interested in the new creative and business opportunities — and new ways of connecting with audiences — that new technologies are presenting.”

Including conversation leading by Reed Hastings (CEO and founder of Netflix), Gregg Spiridellis (cofounder of JibJab), M dot Strange (filmmaker), and Sara Pollack (Youtube), to name a few.  The price is said to be less than $150 (a great deal considering most conferences can cost as much as a couple of grand).  Be there or be L7.
