Robert Rodriguez is producing a new Predator film, with Nimrod Antal directing. The movie will be called ‘Predators’, and is set to be released July 7, 2010. The film involves an intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors, that are not always from outside their group.

I loved what the Predator looked like in the first film, he was real and gritty! After the first film, especially with the ‘Aliens Vs. Predator’ movies, the costumes sucked. They just looked cheap and slapped together. They looked fake! They aren’t suppose to look fake! The rest of the effects in those film sucked as well. This new Predators film is going back to the original source of the costume design to bring it back to life.

The guy doing the special effects on the film is Howard Berger for the effects shop KNB. He said:

We wanted to have the Predator look as it did in the original film. We went back and looked at the original. I actually worked in the shop with Stan Winston on the first film. It was great to be able to go back to the series having not been involved in any of the sequels, and it was also great to be able to make sure we built them as Stan Winston did.

I’m excited to see how what this movie ends up being. It’ll be cool to see a new Predator story unfold, with decent looking predator costumes and effects. What do you think?
