Scifi, Reboot | featured news

Now that the trailer is out for Dredd, I think there's enough footage of the movie to safely pass judgment on the movie regardless of what director Pete Travis and writer Alex Garland may have suggested in their joint statement about withholding it until seeing the finished product in its entirety. Check it out below.

Three international posters are now online (thanks to BadTaste.it for the heads up) for Robert Rodriguez's new project "Predators" starring Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, and Walt Goggins. The film is directed by Nimród Antal and is due out July 7, 2010.Check out the three posters below (click on them for a larger view) and let us know what you think."Predators," a bold new chapter in the Predator universe, shot under the creative auspices of Robert Rodriguez ...

One of the potentially big movies up for grabs at this year's Cannes Film Festival is a 3D relaunch of the 2000 A.D. character Judge Dredd in a new movie directed by Pete Travis (Vantage Point) from screenplay by Alex Garland (28 Days Later). There was word a few years back that there was a new Judge Dredd movie in development at 20th Century Fox with artist Jock, co-creator of The Losers, being involved in the production art, but with Fox out of the picture, producer Andrew Macdonald's DNA Films has been joined by Indian financier Reliance Big to move the project forward.

SXSWi (the South by Southwest Interactive conference) is certainly our favorite track of the SXSW experience, but it’s not the only portion of the festival taking place this weekend. Film goers are out en masse in Austin too, and directors — both big and small — are using the event to showcase their films. Or in some cases, using it to show off preview of their films.

IESB has been visiting the set of 20th Century Fox' PREDATORS today in Austin, Texas where it was revealed to us that veteran actor Laurence Fishburne had been added to the cast of the film, most likely because he was on set today as well and none of us knew he was in the film. Fishburne will play the character called Noland and will appear as an uncredited cameo role in the Robert Rodriguez produced film.

Adrien Brody is among the actors boarding to star in "Predators," Fox's reboot of the sci-fi franchise.

"Fast & Furious" helmer Justin Lin and producer Neal Moritz are signing on to Summit's reboot of "Highlander."

According to Bloody Disgusting, you'll never guess who's in talks to direct the new "Predator" movie...unless you guess Neil Marshall ("The Descent").

Paramount Pictures had estimated that the movie would make about $50 million for the weekend, but figured that strong reviews helped carry it to the bigger opening.

Waaaaaaay back in January we wrote about Bloody Disgusting getting wind of a Predator reboot with Robert Rodriguez attached. Now, IESB is reporting that Robert Rodriguez has indeed talked about making another Predator film called Predators.
