Predators going to the Big Island?
20th Century Fox scouts have been combing the jungles of the Big Island of Hawaii for possible locations for their new movie in the Predator franchise Predators, according to Tim Ryan's Reel Hawaii.
Predators would be shooting on location in Hawaii for 18 days if plans pan out, with additional shooting done at Robert Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios in Austin beginning in late September.
Rodriguez will be producing the $40 million SF/horror sequel, which he co-wrote with Alex Litvak and Michael Finch. Nimród Antal, who made the very strange Hungarian fantasy/thriller Kontrol in the subways of Budapest before making 2007's Vacancy and the upcoming thriller Armored, will direct.
It would appear with this production and Ridley Scott's planned Alien prequel that Fox (having made two less-than-stellar Alien vs. Predator films) wants to separate its two main extraterrestrial menaces and get them back into their respective solo franchises.
Predators is currently scheduled for a July 7, 2010 release.

Separate the franchises,sure... On the shelf.
These story lines are so overdone, and although I do give the Aliens prequel some original mcredence and look forward to the day it is on free TV (no, it won't warrant my movie going $), I loathe the idea of a Predator movie, as those have gotten too recipe driven being the same story in a new package with different actors every time. (Aliens had that problem as well, but broke it for Resurection.) Overall, find a new script for the $40M and excite the audiences for a change. - KH

On the latest AVP: Requiem movie...once they started showing a child getting the chest-burst treatment, then they've gone below a threshold I can forgive or ever want to see again.
