"This planet is a game preserve. And we're the game."

Were you at the South by South Western Film Festival? We weren't. But one reason to be down old Texas way was Robert Rodriguez's Predators. Yes, Rodriguez was at SXSW to introduce a sneak peek at his new take on the Predator franchise, directed by Nimrod Antal. Not that we saw it. Because we weren't there.

But we do have the video right here for you to watch, re-watch and possibly watch for a third time. It's got Adrien Brody as a mercenary in it. And Laurence Fishburne. And some other humans, like Danny Trejo. All of them trained killers, they soon find out they're just fodder brought together for the planet's predators: namely, the Predators.

Bringing back original costume designer Greg Nicotero, Antal and Rodriguez are keen for a non-CGI approach to their monsters, keeping a retro feel to the action while adding a few modern touches: see the creature next to the bad-ass Predator in the picture? That would be one of them.

For some concept art of the creatures dreamed up by Antal's team, head over to Wired.com. But before that, read on for the exclusive video. And then look at some cool stills from the whole thing. Go on, get your mandibles out and scream away. It's totally worth it: Predators is out on Friday 11th August and it's looking to be seriously rather brilliant.
