Another 80s action staple is on track to be rebooted. IESB is reporting that director Robert Rodriguez has announced plans to reboot the Arnold Schwarzenegger action film, Predator.

The director made the announcement at his Troublemaker Studios, where Texas politicians signed a reform bill to the state's film incentive program. Here's what the director said at the press conference.

"I'm going to be able to shoot my upcoming Machete here, a sci-fi action film called Nervewrackers, a re-boot of the Predator series called Predators, and a couple of smaller movies called Sin City 2 and The Jetsons."


The site also confirmed that Rodriguez was indeed directing and producing the Predators remake, and it will be his own take on the original concept.

We'll be sure to keep you posted on any news surrounding this remake.

Predator was released June 12th, 1987 and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Elpidia Carrillo, Bill Duke, Jesse Ventura, Sonny Landham, Richard Chaves, R.G. Armstrong. The film is directed by John McTiernan.

Predators was released July 9th, 2010 and stars Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Trejo, Louis Ozawa Changchien. The film is directed by Nimród Antal.

    Dude, Len Wiseman to should have directed set in WW2 or something. That would've been kick ass. But who's complaining.

    In response to elicash55:

    Actually, I have seen many of Rodreguez's movies. He's really a hit-and-miss director to me. What I meant by my statement was reference to everyone else opinions of him up until my comment. All I'm saying is, the Predator movies are one of my favorite franchises in the world. So I will give him a chance... and that's a chance that he'd better not f*** up.

  12. Err

    to the guy who said predator 2 was bad... WRONG!

    predator 2 was friggin' great, but for completely different reasons from the first. i mean c'mon, we had the busey, the paxton and the glover all during their primes, that movie was great.

    God dammit. Why? The first Predator film is great. He should just make a new Predator 2 with Predators in it, not just one.

    No man predator 2 is a masterpiece compared to that horsesh*t of a movie AVP 2! Those are the movies that are ruining both frachises names.I turned that sh*t off after 20 minutes it was so bad! I think they should just find a really talented director (other than rodriguez) and make a third movie rather than reboot the first.

    Nobody could ever play the part of Dutch except Arnold. Why would they want to f*ck up a classic?

  27. Err

    i don't think rodriguez is that great.
    he's always been hit or miss in my opinion.
    his movies are always super damn cheesy and hard to take seriously, and this includes 'sin city' in my opinion.

    here's to hoping he can manage to not ruin one of the greatest sci-fi monster movies of all time.

    He's a great director, I just don't see a need for a reboot. Just make it Predator 3. I hope he does Machete and Sin City 2 before he starts this project.

  29. Marcus-07

    I want Predator 3 or that,so called Predators to be third movie of the series. Don't wnat any reboot becouse.....there is just no need to be stupid! ....about AVP ...I had a great script about my version of AVP 2 so I made the comic. Everybody that read my comic (friends and some other people) said that that story is THE SH*T! I want movie adaptation!!!

    and @ Thenewdrug89, he directed both of the spykids flicks. Of course he could do the Jetsons. I'd put it along the lines of something similar to the Wachowski's Speed Racer...
