Robert Rodriguez is officially remaking Predator

It’s been rumoured since January, but now it’s official. Robert Rodriguez is remaking Predator, which is part of a slate that could well be the busiest in Hollywood.

"I'm going to be able to shoot my upcoming Machete here, a sci-fi action film called Nerveracker, a reboot of the Predator series called Predators, and a couple of smaller movies called Sin City 2 and The Jetsons," Rodriguez said at a recent press conference.

Which is a lot of good news to take in at once, so we’ll break it down.

He will make the movie of his Danny Triejlo starring Grindhouse trailer, he hasn’t started on Nerveracker yet (despite its 2010 release date), he’s still attached to Sin City 2, and he will make what will probably be an insanely fun version of the Jetsons.

But, most importantly to us, the Predators are coming back – and this time they’re not being shoehorned into someone else’s franchise (even if they are copying Aliens a bit for the title). Yes!
