The always excellent Latino Review have read a 90-page script dated July 12, 2009 for the Nimród Antal directed Robert Rodriguez produced reboot / sequel Predators. It sounds like they are back on track after the lousy Alien vs Predator films.
It is due for release on 12 July 2010. The script is “bloody, violent, Hard-R script reminiscient of the original” that pits a team of seven kidnapped humans against Predators on the aliens’ home planet. Danny Trejo recently mentioned he would be working on the film and he will apparantly be playing the character Cuchillo.
The film begins back on Earth, when Royce gets in a fight with another human, and kills his opponent — but some Predators are watching the whole thing from behind their camouflage screens. The Predators like what they see, so they kidnap Royce and shoot him over to their home planet.
Royce, along with seven other abducted humans, all wake up after parachuting into the Predator home planet.
Here is the full list of the humans in the film.
* Royce, a Steve McQueen type
* Cuchillo, a Mexican enforcer for a drug cartel who has twin uzis strapped to his back
* Nikolai, a bear of a Russian armed with a four-barrel gas-powered rotary machine gun
* Isabelle, a French woman armed with a sniper rifle
* Stans, a San Quentin prisoner with a shaved head, a scorpion tatto on his neck and armed with a prison-made knife
* Mombasa, an African member of the Sierra Leone death squad
* Hanzo, a bad ass Japanese Yakuza enforcer
* Edwin, an unassuming man who was formerly on the FBI’s most-wanted list.
Like the first film the Predators are hunting humans who are predators themselves. The script also gives reference to Black Super Predator who leads the hunt and is described as a Predator on steroids.
Latino Review also confirm that there is a cameo in the script for Arnold Schwarzenegger if he wants it.
All in all it is sounding very cool and I can’t wait to see some classic Predator action.
Who do you see playing the rest of the characters?
