Oh that's cool! The guy who did this movie has been involved in a lot of big budget movies. Which makes since because the work he did on Batman: Dead End is really good! You can see what he worked on if you go to his "Filmography" page: http://www.collorastudios.com/sandymain.htm

This just in........

We don't report on rumors often here on AITH, but this one we felt "good enough" about to put it out there. If we're wrong,, you all get al hour with my gf of the month. While our boy JIMMYO was attending the DRAG ME TO HELL red carpet, a "reliable somebody" slyly hinted our way that DEREK "JASON VOORHEES" MEARS could be playing a PREDATOR in the Robert Rodriguez produced reboot/sequel PREDATORS.

Of course after getting that feeler tossed his way, once The Stache saw Mears he said: I bet you're going to be great in Predators in the hopes of getting the juice out of him. But Mears simply answered a yeah it would be awesome type of response. So nothing got confirmed but we got a feeling about this one. So there you have it! AGAIN, this is SOLELY a RUMOR. So take it with a grain of coke. PREDATORS is slated for a July 7, 2010 release. Either way Mears would be great in it! BRING IT! I'm stoked!

Cool. He's going to be our main hunter/killer in the film.

[Porkchop Express]

He meets the criteria of being big, so thats good.

Wish they would re-release the original Predator blu-ray. One of the worst looking transfers I have seen.

Compared to thew standard it was still an upgrade, and I'm happy with mine

Didn't want to start a thread for this and figured it would fit good here.

Franchises all over Hollywood are being rebooted, remade and reinstalled. Terminator Salvation got the makeover treatment while still paying homage to the original film via a “cameo” by Arnold Schwarzenegger (or at least his face). Now it looks like Robert Rodriguez and the makers of the forthcoming Predators are hoping to get Schwarzenegger to star in their sequel/reboot to the 1987 original.

According to Moviehole, the makers of Predators have “reached out” to Schwarzenegger in the hope that he’ll return to the sci-fi action series. I can only assume that Danny Glover was busy.


According to a Moviehole source:

“Robert’s camp has just reached out to Arnie’s. But they haven’t had a response yet”.

A second source confirmed Robert Rodriguez’s interested in getting Schwarzenegger in the film:

“They’ve written a role for him. Rodriguez is as against the idea of a straight-up remake as much as anyone - which is why they’re considering this an official sequel to John McTiernan’s film. Like Terminator, they know Schwarzenegger’s a vital ingredient of the franchise. Ideally, Arnold will see it that way too. Ball is in his court now”.

Schwarzenegger is clearly associated with the franchise even though he declined a role in the 1990 sequel. The original Predator is a first-rate action film that holds its own, even though it’s sort of like Alien set in the jungle.

Moviehole’s source went on to say:

“The script is terrific… I hear. It’s partly the old Predators script Rodriguez did, but mostly new stuff by (Alex) Litvak. And it’s violent - like the original. Everybody here at (name removed) has pointed out how much better it is than (Paul W.S) Anderson’s abomination. Doesn’t sound like there’s any reason to worry”.

It all sounds very exciting - but will Schwarzenegger be interested?

He did allow his image to be used in Terminator Salvation and he’s confirmed a cameo in Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables, but will he have time to film a brief role in Predators considering he is currently the Governor of California?

I hope so - Rodriguez’s involvement gives credibility to the film, and the fact that it’s labeled as a sequel/reboot rather than a remake implies that Predators won’t be a rehash, or worse, another Aliens vs. Predator fiasco.

Let’s hope that Schwarzenegger accepts a part in Predators, however I’d prefer it be substantial rather than another five-minute cameo that detracts from the rest of the film.

Screen Rant will let you know more when we get it.

Predators opens on July, 10 2010

it would be cool if he agreed, though. He's supposed to have a small cameo in The Expendables, so who knows? Anything is possible.

[Diesel]

i'm sure if it was after his term as governor was over he'd be game for it
but not until that

i'm not sure when his term is done though

I'd like to see that, too.

that would have been cool if arnold could have stayed away from all that obvious plastic surgery

[koontz1973]

The only way I would want to see Arnold in the new Predators is with his head on a stick after one has tracked him down a killed him.


Then we have the opening titles.

you know...that would actually be kinda cool showing they finally killed him and that they didn't forget about him
