SXSW: PREDATORS Looks Like Anything but One Ugly Mother…

Last night, South by Southwest attendees were shown a first look at the Robert Rodrigeuz-produced/written, Nimrod Antal-directed PREDATORS.  Judging from early word, it was something to behold.  Our very own Travis Keune will be back later in the day for a complete rundown along with footage from the press conference.

However, for those of you chomping at the bit to get your PREDATORS fix on early, Rodriguez and crew were kind enough to launch the film’s official site yesterday.  There, you can check out a first look of your own, which shows some of the behind-the-scenes work along with some actual footage of the film.

To put it bluntly, this film looks like it is going to blow your face off. It seems, just judging from what little we see in the actual film, that Rodriguez is a huge fan of the original, John McTiernan-directed film, and wanted to make a film for similar fans.

The official site also gives us a first glimpse and some concept art of a new creature we are going to be seeing on the Predator’s home world.  The Predator Hound looks like something that could be the star of its own horror movie.

Check it out:

The thing looks a bit like the Kothoga from THE RELIC with a Predator’s face.  Very cool.

But, what are you waiting for. If you’re anything like me, and Mr. Rodriguez, you can’t wait to get your first glimpse of PREDATORS. Go check it out.

Word from the site, also, is that we can expect an official trailer released on March 18th. Check back then for more Predator action.
