These guys better not screw this up. If they do, I'll just have to kill them. I do have hopes for this film, but not much since Robert Rodriguez came up with the idea. A truly overrated man. Rodriguez, if your reading this; turn to the book series for help!!

Yeah it did, lol. And thats weird because RR mentions Aliens in te interview, and compares them.
I'm iffy about this one though, it would work if someone else was directing.

Messenger i doubt that is true, it all depends on the picture quality your filming on, and well i guess they will use 'Excellence' which the average 20 gigs HD camera, gives about 2hrs something in top quality.

And considering the fact that the average feature film has approx 700hrs of footage that would get pretty fucking annoying they would be better off using HD Mini DV

Ottley, I remember reading about RR's Predator 3 /story idea back in the mid 90's. I was disappointed it was never made...didn't it originally have something to do with Dutch leading some marines on the Predator planet? I swear it was something like that... Sounds almost "ALIENS," doesn't it?

They shot Crank 2 with the Red, I don't know how true this is but they supposedly can only shoot 10 min of footage before they have to dump it do a bigger hard drive. What a f-ing nightmare.

We will have to see with this one, still do not think it should be remade/rebooted whatever you want to call it.

The film will have new state of the art technology to shoot it, the latest red cameras.

I did read the actual RR back in 2001, i will say it has a very large scale of a world unlike ours, similair to James camerons Avatar ment.

Guys, give him a chance, there is no need hating if you haven't even seen a photo from the actual film, i bet when the trailer comes out for the film, you guys are going to be so into it. And remember if you can't do better than him, just don't say anything at all.

"nimrod" as petty as it sounds that's the first thing that had me laughing.
As for Robert.R, he is a genre director, NOTHING MORE. and this is NOT his genre. He will ruin it.

since this will be another AVP, i have no interested witnessing the massacre of the once brilliant idea of PREDATOR any further.

OK THIS WILL BE SET ON A PREDATOR HOME PLANET, I LIKE THAT
READ BELOW FOR MORE TIDBITS

The nice addition is that Rodriguez actually wrote a draft for Predator 3 in 1994.

Ok the article confirms its a reinvention based on RR template to Predator 3, so therefore it is a reboot based upon the template of a sequel.

It will be more of a non-studio production, what ever that means.

This predator reboot will apparently be more character driven and apparently Nimrod here is great with action, and some how reminds RR of a young Quentin, LMAO.

The that RR wrote in 1994 was large scale and apparently at that current time undoable, but with the cutting edge tech they have today, this film is doable.

The film will be filmed in Texas, well apparently 60% of the film will be filmed in Texas, but i'd guess all of it will.

KNB will be doing the visuals and RR wants this film not to rely on CG.

AND WELL FOLKS HERE IS WHAT RR HAD TO SAY ON THE STORY :)

I can't go too much into the story right now, because we're still writing. But it still involves a very intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors (that are not always from outside their group). So like the original movie, the title does have a double meaning.
