April 24, 2009 - Predators / Rodriguez answers questions
Scooped on Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Robert Rodriguez answered questions about his involvement with Predators to Ain't It Cool News and how he got re-involved back with the project. "
"Way back before I did Desperado, I had taken a writing assignment for a sequel to Predator," Rodriguez explains to the site.
"With a nod toward Cameron's Aliens I decided to call it Predators. I set it on a jungle-like Predator planet. It was just a writing assignment, so I didn't have to worry about budget constraints or how the movie would actually get made with the technology that existed back then, so I just wrote any cool thing I could come up with.
"Fast forward 15 years to when I got a call from Alex Young over at Fox, who had been digging around and found my original treatment. He was eager to get it made and re-invent the Predator franchise using the treatment as a guide. So he contacted me to see if I'd be interested in being involved, and it seemed like the perfect project for us over at Troublemaker Studios."
Rodriguez confirms that he will serve as a producer on the film but may "walk to the Predators soundstage, pick up a camera and co-shoot the coolest scenes," and believes that if the finished film follows the outline that he did all those years before the movie should be R-rated.
