We just run across more footage from Robert Rodriguez ’s and Nimród Antal ’s Predators at SXSW 2010 — include a clip have our first meeting with Laurence Fishburne ’s only subsister . And Adrien Brody explained to us how he prepared to star in Predators . coddler explode below !
We got an single sneak peek at two new trailers for Predators — they were both slightly standardised tothe featurette that we posted this sunrise , but with superfluous footage and a bit more action . Among other things , we get a bit more of an intro to the major player , besides Adrien Brody ’s Royce . Walton Goggins ’ Stans , dressed in a prison jumpsuit , say that he was due to be executed two day ago . Mombasa ( Mahershalalhashbaz Ali ) and Nikolai ( Oleg Taktarov ) say they were in scrap when they were snatch up by a blanched light . And Isabelle ( Alice Braga ) tell she was black ops . And then the badass tattooed Hanzo ( Louis Ozawa Changchien ) articulate merely , “ Yakuza . ”

“ We were chosen , ” says Royce .
At one full point , Braga sound out “ We ’ve got to mold together , ” and Cuchillo ( Danny Trejo ) replies , “ Does this look like a cooperation - orientated group of people to you ? ”
There ’s a lot of run through the jungle , and a lush - looking falls , which Brody jump off at one point . and there seems to be a somewhat across-the-board scene of cringe through an hugger-mugger space , lit by pallid blue lights . Fishburne gives some advice on surviving , “ If you desire to survive , dig deep . ” And there ’s peck and lots of Walton Goggins running around behave unhinged , and Goggins shout , “ Who ’s your daddy ! ”
Meet Laurence Fishburne
Also , we pose a smell at an unfinished scene , in which Brody and friend are confused by the demise of a Predator ( or something ) that was hunting them . They think Braga ’s case shot the creature down , but she finds her bullet hole in a tree and says she missed . Just then , they see the tell - tale sound of a Predator weapon system charging up . Brody turns to see someone wearing a Predator masquerade party , aiming a gunslinger at his head .
The digit removes the Predator mask , to divulge Fishburne , calculate insanely awe-inspiring and grizzled . Right aside , Fishburne begin schooling the noobs . “ You talk too loud , ” he whisper . “ I sense you as soon as you get here . If I can smell you , if I can get wind you , they can too . There ’s a violent storm coming shortly . ” Then he flick his head , indicating for the others to travel along him .
“ Wait , who are you ? ” Asks Brody .
“ I ’m the one that got away , ” Fishburne says . “ The one you do n’t fuck with . ” Heh .
Brody Went Method For Predators :
After we saw this footage , we went to a press conference with Rodriguez , Antal , and surprise Edgar Albert Guest Brody — who intelligibly felt like he had to win over us that he was the right guy to asterisk in Predators . Brody tell apart us that Rodriguez die to at-bat for him :
I know I ’m not the obvious choice , i get that . I in all likelihood would n’t have even been on the studio ’s tilt , even near the bottom . you could ask Robert , I ’m very persistent . I ’m very focussed . I give my word that I love what I need to do to present a grade of Sojourner Truth and genuineness with a role like this . I put on 25 hammer for this role , but that was n’t the point — they did n’t hire me to be a body - builder . But in monastic order to playful with it as well I should be strapped , but it ’s not the strong-arm lastingness that outsmarts an alien with zip - based weapons and higher tracking skills , and a culture of hunting and prize - hunting , you have to outsmart them .
And Brody spill the beans about his cooking for the role :
I set about this with the kind of degree of focus I would approach any of the part that I ’ve been given an chance to play … I think my intention , and the intention of lease me to play Royce , was to delve into the kind of flawed tragic wedge and not this kind of distinctive … overtly physically inflict character … I did put on a satisfying amount of heftiness mass for the role , and the forcible breeding was a big part of work up to that character , [ but it was also of import ] to prepare psychologically . We shot in Hawaii , and we shot in thousands of acres of tropical rainforest , and I had gotten permit from the owners of the acres to stay in the property … I did n’t stay put in a hotel … [ Instead , ] I sequester myself … My every night ritual was poring over survival manual of arms and military and paramilitary training script . I was reading Sun Tzu . I was canvass speculation . I was on a very strict dieting . I was n’t drink . I was n’t eat sugar . I was n’t bear sex . I had to kind of go there , for me , because this was a howling opportunity .
And Brody profess to be a huge fan of the Predator serial and of the genre . Brody got so steeped in his reading , he was propose ideas on set , like different types of trap his character could set to defeat the Predators — but Antal convinced him that have him defeat the Predators so easy would in reality cheapen his lineament .
How To Make Predators Cool Again :
After umpteen Predator movies , Antal said it was very important to get back to the thing that make the first film work , admit the classic horror constituent . “ seek to keep the demon in the shadows , more than throwing him in your side off the bat . ” In the first moving-picture show , we do n’t even see the cloaked Predator until 40 minutes into the film . But plainly in this movie , we ’re introduced to “ something ” middling ahead of time on . And Rodriguez added that as long as the role are sense existent fear and apprehension , we ’ll be capable to rediscover the Predators all over again through their eyes . “ The eccentric are the eyes of the audience . ”
It ’s well-heeled to count at the Predator sequel and aim out flaws , but Rodriguez chooses to face at it as his picture show being in a stance to see what did n’t work in those movies and con from that . Like , maybe Predator 2 should n’t have been coiffe slightly in the future , because that makes it hard to identify with . And maybe the AVP movies should n’t have been quite so “ ultimate fight ” focused .
Fishburne come to this motion picture fairly latterly — Rodriguez and Antal realize they needed someone who could explain things to the other human characters , so they would n’t have to figure out everything on their own . They were casting this reference deep in the game , and were thrilled to get Fishburne . “ He was suppose to bring the sense of awe , ” say Antal , and even off - tv camera , Fishburne exhale a “ sense of power . ”
As for the piranha themselves , they ’re almost all practical effects — there ’s very little CG in this film . Rodriguez and Antal said that the Predators ’ humanoid shape has helped them be such enduring characters , because you’re able to project yourself onto them a bit . And the fact that they ’re guy wire in suits actually facilitate with that . Plus it ’s rest true to the 1980s original .
Even though this is a Fox picture , Rodriguez said the studio apartment left him alone and let this be a Troublemaker Studios yield . Fox told Rodriguez , “ We want you to protect this pic from us . We want you to go down there and do it your own way . ” They desire it to reflect a film - maker ’s vision , in the same room the Nolan Batman film do . Not having someone breathing down your neck opening and making demands does n’t just give you more freedom , says Antal — it also makes you work harder because you ’re energized instead of demoralized . ( It was alike to the making of King Kong , added Brody — a studio apartment film that palpate like an self-governing film . )
There ’s some humour in this film , standardized to the original film , but Rodriguez was adamantine that it should be substantial humor and not “ roll your eye humor . ” There are “ three or four beats in the movie , you ’ll be laughing . ” Mostly , the humor is used to misdirect the consultation just before something terrorize happens , he adds . Also , you ’ll be hearing snatches of the original movie ’s Alan Silvestri grievance , “ at the right time ” to evoke a response .
As for Rodriguez ’s next projects , it does n’t sound like Red Sonja or the Jetsons are happening any time soon . And he referred to Sin City 2 , slightly vaguely , as a theory . His actual next project is a 4th Spy Kids celluloid , with all raw kids and a more realistic look — it will be the Casino Royale to the other Spy Kids films ’ For Your Eyes Only .
