Robert Rodriguez

Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal will present the world premier of footage from Predators on March 10th at SXSW.

The presentation will be the Alamo Ritz Theater in Austinin at 10:15pm, and is open to SXSW Badge-holders on a first-come, first-served basis. The screening will be followed by a Q&A.

With any luck, the footage will then be released online through official channels, tho no doubt it will reach us first via a shakely, hand-held phonecam-o-vision.

Predators stars Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo and Walton Goggins. Directed by Nimrod Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez, the film is scheduled for release in July 2010

Machete – US distribution deal signed & Rodriguez finds a new home

Danny Trejo as Machete

Deadline are reporting that 20th entury Fox have won the US rights to distribute Machete for $9 after a 6-way bidding war with other studios.

 

Perhaps more interestingly, Rodriguez’s traditional backers, the Bob and Harvey Weinstein, turned down the chance to handle the film. With Rodriguez’s own Troublemaker Studios rebooting the Predator franchise for Fox, could he have found a new creative home?

 

 

From Deadline:

Fox reminded everyone that it was already very much in the Robert Rodriguez business making Predators, and Tom Rothman really wanted him to have a home there, and Rodriguez and Rothman get along well, so a deal was clinched

Co-directed by Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis, Machette stars Danny Trejo, reprising his role from the trailer, alongside Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Michelle Rodriguez, Steven Seagal, Lindsay Lohan, Cheech Marin, Don Johnson and Jeff Fahey.

Latino Review managed to score a brief interview with Machete star Danny Trejo, where he chats a little about playing the lead role.

 

 

 

 

 

‘Machete’ kicks ass. [Laughs] It is a culmination of ‘Desperado’, ‘Once Upon a Time in Mexico’…there’s even a little bit of ‘From Dusk ‘Til Dawn’ in there. I think it’s gonna be one of his best. And I’m not just saying that cause I’m the lead, it’s just a great movie. I think everybody’s gonna walk away from that movie with some opinion.

Director Nimrod Antal is taking advantage of the upcoming release of his new film Armored to talk to Coming Soon about Predators, currently in production for release next year.

 

 

 

 

 

So far, it’s been great, and I think that the fans who may have been underwhelmed by the last two AVP films, I think they’re in for a very pleasant surprise.

I think we both recognize that the original film was as good as it was because of the practical, because it was a guy in a suit, because it was the jungle, so we stay true to that. We were in Hawaii for a month in the jungle, so there’s going to be some pretty impressive locations.
