With the festival season fast approaching (Coachella is just around the corner) one of the most dynamic festivals of the year is kicking off. SXSW in Austin comprises of Film, Music and Interactive conferences. Growing in popularity each year the Film part of the festival has become renowned for premiering the hottest new independent films (last year’s festival screened 250 films – 54 of those being world premieres).
One of the focuses this year (although not showing) has been the Robert Rodriguez produced Predators – a follow up to John McTiernan’s Predator. Directed by Armored’s Nimrod Antal the film looks likely to far surpass the dismal Alien vs. Predator series we’ve had to endure in recent years. At the screening of trailers and a scene from the movie, the new Predator head was also revealed – which apparently was the highlight of the whole promotion. With a cast that includes Adrien Brody, Danny Trejo and Laurence Fishburne, maybe it can even live up to the original. Check out a sneak peek above, and Rodriguez discussing the project at SXSW below.
