 "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 7th July and it's looking to be seriously rather brilliant.

Robert Downey Jr is in talks to sign on for Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity. The thriller, set in space, was having trouble reaching warp speed what with Angelina Jolie's non-agreement to sign a deal to not star in the film.
Written by Alfonso and his son, Jonas, the film would see Downey Jr as a commander on a space station who gets stranded outside, after satellite debris kills the rest of the crew (except for a woman, naturally). With time, oxygen and their sex drive running low, the pressure is on for them to find a way home.
Presuming everything pans out ok, Downey Jr will be shooting the sci-fi in London this summer, before running back to Guy Ritchie for some Sherlock Holmes action.

Peter Graves Passes Away, 83 |

"Joey have you ever been in... a Turkish prison?" Peter Graves has passed away, aged 83. The actor, star of Mission: Impossible and Airplane!, died from a heart attack four days before his 84th birthday.
His career started out in the Air Force before Graves turned his attention to acting. He worked for many years in a range of TV programmes and movies before reaching widespread popularity as Jim Phelps in the cult classic show Mission: Impossible. Playing the IMF boss for 6 years, Graves later returned in the 1988 remake of the series. His other famous role came in the form of Airplane's Captain Clarence Oveur, a part which he jumped at when he learned that Leslie Nielsen would be his co-star.
Refusing to sign on for Brian De Palma's 1996 Mission: Impossible movie, Graves continued to turn in guest performances for shows like House and American Dad. As prolific as he was talented, Graves is an actor whose work - whether serious or comical - will live on in the memories of spies and airline pilots alike. He is survived by his wife Joan and their three children.

 Director: Martin Scorsese Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Max von Sydow Certificate: 15 You know those films where you can guess the ending from the trailer? Based on Dennis Lehane's novel, Shutter Island sees Federal Marshall Edward Daniels (DiCaprio) stranded by hurricane in a mental asylum for the criminally insane. He and his partner, Chuck (Ruffalo), are there to find a patient who disappeared from her cell overnight. Can you say "B-Movie horror"? Martin Scorsese can. He just can't say it very well.

 Director: Paul Greengrass Cast: Matt Damon, Jason Isaacs, Amy Ryan, Brendan Gleeson, Greg Kinnear Certificate: 15 "I came here to find weapons and save lives". "It's a little more complicated than that." "Not for me!" Roy Miller (Damon) is an American soldier with a difference. Not only does he bear an uncanny resemblance to Jason Bourne and Hollywood actor Matt Damon, he also has a big thing for the truth. Why does his Iraq team keep failing to find WMDs in every location they raid?

 Director: Niels Arden Oplev Cast: Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist, Sven-Bertil Taube Certificate: 18 Trailer Thanks to Henning Mankell and Let the Right One In, Sweden is getting a reputation for its nasty sociopathic murders. What with its chequered nationalist past and wintry snow-filled regions, it seems more a fascinating tableau of literary horrors than a country. And now the first of the late Stieg Larsson's Milennium trilogy has reached our shores. And it's worked the same disturbing magic. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a chilling plunge into Sweden's brutal climate. |
