I want to chat about a scene that I caught in the movie trailer for the Nimród Antal directed Predators movie that was written by Robert Rodriguez.
The scene from the Predators movie pictured above that got me thinking about the script that Rodriguez had for this movie.
Back in 1996 Robert Rodriguez had written a script with the idea of another movie but the reception to the Predators franchise wasn’t warm and fuzzy enough to warrant any studio dropping the funds on his idea.
That script had been rumored to make its way onto the internet (My god, how does everything get on the internet?)
I can’t imagine that the script from ’96 stayed intact at all, but on the off chance that there are elements to the new 2010 Predators movie, I’m going to make my standard warning of potential SPOILERS ahead.
The 1996 Rodriguez scripts talks about a Spanish Galleon in a futuristic time, it talks about a crucified Predator who is barely alive, (It’s been noted that this scene has been scene in a preview trailer, whether this one or the one at SWSX, not sure.) it talks about humans being caged and forced to fight Preds and it talks about humans that use Predator tech and Preds with advanced tech, compared to the rest of the alien cool-guys. (I can’t cal them bad guys, I like them too much.) We see note of a renegade Pred and or a black Pred… I’m not sure if it’s one and the same.
The old script touches on Dutch being captured because of what he did in the first Predator movie and there seems to be some behind-the-scenes deal making between humans and Predators.
From what details I’ve seen of the script, I can’t say this new 2010 version is much like the 2010 Predators, but I thought I’d touch on this and see what we think! Not to mention it will be interesting to come back after the movie opens and chat about it!
