Dexter — a punchy indictment of all-too-common prosecutorial failures — remains as stingingly relevant as ever. For lovers of tales about clever, meticulous, and oft-weird characters, the show will never expire. And things are seemingly getting better. The crime drama’s fans never thought they’d have it this good, considering how poorly things ended the first time around. Debra’s death and Dexter’s happy ending arc in the finale left a bad taste in fans’ mouths. Beyond that, the final season, in general, was considered weak by most critics, scoring 35% on Rotten Tomatoes (the lowest for any season). Thankfully, the brilliant minds at Showtime have made serious efforts to write the wrongs.

Written, directed, and produced by Christian Gudegast, 2018’s heist film, Den of Thieves, currently sits on Max’s Top Ten list. It follows Detective Nick O'Brien (Gerard Butler), a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy, and his crew who try to stop a gang of thieves comprised of former top-notch Marsoc Marines who are planning to rob the city’s Federal Reserve building. Recently released from prison, Ray Merrimen (Pablo Schreiber) enlists the help of his friends Enson Levoux (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) and Bosco Ostroman (Evan Jones) after a unique opportunity presents itself. After a few successful low level bank robberies, Merrimen and his group want one final heist to end them all. After acquiring Donnie Wilson (O'Shea Jackson Jr.) as a getaway driver, they set their plan in motion.

However, after stealing an empty armored vehicle that resulted in the death of a police officer, Detective O'Brien...

1992, Ray Liotta's last movie, has arrived, and it will end his career with praise. The actor was known for his performances in Field of Dreams, Hannibal, Goodfellas, and more. He died suddenly and unexpectedly in his sleep at 67 years old in 2022. He was working on the production for Dangerous Waters and never lived to see it finished. He has had several movies released after his death, including an edited version of Cocaine Bear. His final movie tells the stories of two small families living through the 1992 LA riots.

With 1992 finally in theaters, audiences had the opportunity to see Liotta's final performance, and the response has been nothing but praise. With a 94% score on the Rotten Tomatoes Popcornmeter, it has earned a Hot designation, represented by a full and upright bucket of popcorn. The critics were less favorable, though still offered a 67% Tomatometer score. Both scores are positive, but the 27% difference is stark.

A new Street Fighter movie is in development, but the characters for the film have not yet been cast. In anticipation of the film, an AI-generated concept trailer imagines how some of the characters would appear with certain actors in the roles.

"You know what scares me? I don't want you to grow up to be like me." Lionsgate has unveiled an official trailer for a movie titled 1992, from director Ariel Vromen. The title is a reference to the 1992 L.A. uprising after the Rodney King verdict – it's set on the very first night of the riots. This is also Ray Liotta's final film appearance and the film is dedicated to his memory. A shopkeeper must save his son from criminals intent on steal from his factory during the 1992 L.A. uprising after the Rodney King verdict. Tyrese Gibson stars as Mercer, a man trying to restart his life and reconcile with his son, played by Christopher A'mmanuel. Mercer faces another father and son, played by Ray Liotta & Scott Eastwood, who aim to steal catalytic converters from his workplace. He shows up and tries to stop them while reconnecting with his son.

Lionsgate’s 1992, the upcoming action-crime thriller starring Tyrese Gibson and directed by Ariel Vromen (The Iceman) and co-starring Ray Liotta in one of his final film roles, will be released in theaters on August 30, with the legendary hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg boarding the film to executive produce through his Death Row Pictures banner. The announcement was jointly made today by Adam Fogelson, chair, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, as well as Gibson and Snoop Dogg.

Starring Tyrese Gibson, Clé Bennett, Dylan Arnold, Christopher A’mmanuel, Michael Beasley, Ori Pfeffer, Tosin Morohunfola, Oleg Taktarov, with Scott Eastwood, and Ray Liotta in one of his final film roles, 1992 is directed by Ariel Vromen from a screenplay by Sascha Penn and Ariel Vromen and a story by Sascha Penn. It is produced by Ariel Vromen, Andreas Rommel, Maurice Fadida, Sascha Penn, and Adam Kolbrenner.

It’s been over two years since we sadly lost Ray Liotta, but the iconic actor did leave a handful of unreleased projects behind, including 1992, an action-crime thriller in which he stars alongside Tyrese Gibson and Scott Eastwood. Lionsgate has released the first official trailer for 1992, which features an intense final performance from Liotta.

Tyrese Gibsons stars in 1992 as Mercer, a man desperately trying to rebuild his life and relationship with his son (Christopher A’mmanuel) amidst the turbulent 1992 L.A. uprising following the Rodney King verdict. Across town, another father and son (Ray Liotta & Scott Eastwood) put their own strained relationship to the test as they plot a dangerous heist to steal catalytic converters, which contain valuable platinum, from the factory where Mercer works. As tensions rise in Los Angeles and chaos erupts, both families reach their boiling points when they collide.

Lionsgate’s 1992, the upcoming action-crime thriller starring Tyrese Gibson, directed by Ariel Vromen (The Iceman), and co-starring Ray Liotta in one of his final film roles, will be released in theaters on August 30, 2024.

Legendary hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg is boarding the film to executive produce through his Death Row Pictures banner. Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, Gibson, and Snoop Dogg jointly made the announcement today.

“1992 was a life-changing time for me, from ‘Deep Cover’ to ‘The Chronic.’ But as things in my life were coming together, everything in LA was coming apart. 1992 is a heist movie that really captures all of that,” said Snoop Dogg.

Lionsgate has set a release date of Labor Day weekend, August 30, for the action crime thriller 1992, which is one of Ray Liotta’s final film roles. The Emmy-winning actor co-starred in the movie opposite Tyrese Gibson. In addition today, Snoop Dogg boarded the movie as EP through his Death Row Pictures banner.

1992 joins other wide entries on August 30: Sony/Blumhouse’s horror movie They Listen, Showbiz Direct Distribution’s Dennis Quaid title Reagan, and Roadside Attractions’ Jason Patric thriller City of Dreams.

Here’s the 1992 poster that dropped today.

Liotta died in May 2022 at the age of 67 from heart and respiratory issues. At the time, there were several projects he had already shot, i.e, Elizabeth Banks’ Cocaine Bear and the Apple TV+ series Black Bird. Liotta received a posthumous Best Supporting Actor Limited Series Emmy nom for Black Bird; previously, he won the Drama Guest Actor Emmy in 2005 for NBC’s ER.

The best Mma fighters-turned-actors showcased unstoppable determination in both the ring and onscreen. Some fighters, like Oleg Taktarov, seamlessly transitioned from winning titles to starring opposite Hollywood legends. Controversy hasn't stopped fighters like Ronda Rousey from finding success in film after their fighting careers.

Finding success as an Mma fighter took commitment, determination, and skill, so it only made sense that many acclaimed fighters later transferred these talents to the world of acting. With acclaimed roles in action, comedy, dramas, and sci-fi, several high-profile fighters have carved out second careers for themselves in Hollywood after already making sports history with impressive runs in Mma organizations like the UFC. While Mma fighters who transitioned into acting have had their fair share of controversies, that did not stop them from breaking into the world of film and television.

The Machine is loud, gross, obnoxious and overbearing. It’s also disarming, quick-witted, fast moving and becomes increasingly funny as it ends up in, of all places, Russia for its payoff scenes.

Presided over, if that is the right term, by the irrepressible Bert Kreischer, the big-gutted comedian who goes by the name The Machine and prefers to appear without a shirt on whenever possible, has landed his first big feature film at age 50 and continues the same comic shtick he’s been doing for years. Lo and behold, it’s still pretty funny stuff. This is a big picture for a big guy, and Kreischer is so persistent, and persistently off the wall, that it’s finally far easier to enjoy the party than to carp and resist.

Kreischer makes a point of performing with his shirt off when at all possible, something that becomes a tad strange in...

Plot: Set 23 years after the original story which inspired it, The Machine finds Bert Kreischer facing familial crisis and the arrival of his estranged father when the ghost of his booze-soaked past arrives: a murderous mobster hellbent on kidnapping Bert back to the motherland to atone for his crimes. Together, he and his father must retrace the steps of his younger self in the midst of a war between a sociopathic crime family while they attempt to find common ground.

Review: This weekend boasts two theatrical films featuring stand-up comedians with dedicated fanbases in stories about their relationship with their father. Both Sebastian Maniscalco and Bert Kreischer have performed elements of the stories at the core of their big-screen adventures, but the results could not be further apart. While About My Father is a wholesome bromance centered on the culture clash of two families, The Machine is a balls-to-the-wall action...

Bert Kreischer is a stand-up comedian who has done it all. He has been featured in multiple magazines, is the host of various television series and podcasts, and how is set to be the star of a feature film: The Machine. The Kreischer film is an action comedy that is based on his most famous routine from 2016, where he recounted his real-life college experience in Russia with some Russian gangsters. The movie features a plot where he and his father (played by Mark Hamill) are kidnapped by the mob who wants revenge on Kreischer for how he wronged them all those years ago.

In addition to Kreischer and Hamill, the cast includes Jimmy Tatro as a younger Kreischer, Jess Gabor as Bert's daughter Georgia Kreischer, and iconic actors like Stephanie Kurtzuba and Oleg Taktarov. The film is a fictionalized exaggeration of Kreischer's stand-up routine, but the film tackles some genuinely emotional moments,...

Long before Ryan Reynolds stepped in as Deadpool, Detective Pikachu, or the co-owner of the Welsh football club Wrexham A.F.C., most people knew him as the star of "National Lampoon's Van Wilder." But did you know that the titular seventh-year senior was actually based on a real person? The charismatic character was based on a Florida State University student that was profiled by Rolling Stone in 1997. Dubbed "the top partyer at the Number One Party School in the country," that student's name was Bert Kreischer.

Now known for his stand-up comedy (which he performs without a shirt on), the St. Petersburg native has proven that his life gets much Wilder than anything that inspired Reynolds' breakout role. One...

Comedian and star Bert Kreischer’s The Machine will laugh its way into theaters on May 26, the beginning of the long Memorial Day weekend. Legendary Star Wars actor Mark Hamill co-stars opposite Kreischer.

Sony and Legendary announced the film’s release date on Wednesday. The two companies recently announced a multi-year distribution deal.

The film is an adaptation of a story Kreischer told onstage about getting involved with the Russian mob while studying abroad in college. The tale of Kreischer’s exploits quickly went viral and has been viewed more than 85 million times, according to Legendary.

Peter Atencio (Key & Peele, Keanu) is directing The Machine from a script by Kevin Biegel and Scotty Landes.

Sony Pictures will open Legendary Pictures’ The Machine on May 26.

The Peter Atencio directed movie takes place 23 years after the original story that inspired it. In the pic, comedian-star Bert Kreischer faces a familial crisis and the arrival of his estranged father (Mark Hamill) when the ghost of his booze-soaked past arrives: a murderous mobster (Iva Babić) hellbent on kidnapping Bert back to the motherland to atone for his crimes. Together, he and his father must retrace the steps of his younger self (Jimmy Tatro) in the midst of a war between a sociopathic crime family while they attempt to find common ground.

Kreischer will perform an exclusive live pre-show event at 6 p.m. May 25 in Los Angeles at a Tba theater location. The pre-show, which will be simulcast across 1,000+ theaters nationwide, will be followed by the first preview screening of the film. Tickets will go on sale at a later date.

After watching his comrades be hunted and torn down by an alien hunter, the human prey is ready to fight back. To throw off the hunter’s heat vision, the human has stripped off his shirt and smeared mud over his muscled body. He stands in the center of a trap, ready to lure the hunter into one final showdown.

“Do it now!” he bellows, taunting the hunter. “Kill me!”

For most people, the above description recalls an iconic scene from Predator, the 1987 action horror classic directed by John McTiernan, but the human I’m describing is not Major Dutch Schaefer, the hulking special forces agent played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Rather it’s Royce, the decidedly lither mercenary played by Adrien Brody in the 2010 sequel Predators.

Some may argue that this callback captures everything wrong with the later movie. Half of the original’s fun involved watching meatheads like Arnold,...

"In two months - if you still feel the same, come find me in Saint Petersburg." Vertical Entertainment has released a trailer for an indie romance titled See You Soon, described as a modern day "Cinderella" story about a soccer star falling in love with a single mother from Russia - an homage to Leo McCarey’s An Affair To Remember. A U.S. soccer player suffers a career-threatening injury in an accident in the run-up to the World Cup, and during his recovery embarks on an epic romance. Liam McIntyre stars, with newcomer Russian actress Jenia Tanaeva as his love interest, plus a small cast including Harvey Keitel, Poppy Drayton, Oleg Taktarov, and Carla Abruzzo. This looks as cheesy and as cliche as you might expect, but the globe-spanning scope of it makes it worth a watch. And that bridge jump shot at the end is also worth it.

Vertical Entertainment has picked up domestic rights to “See You Soon,” the story of a U.S. soccer star who embarks on a romance with a single mother, Variety has learned.

The film’s characters’ lives intersect after the soccer player suffers a career-ending injury in the lead-up to the World Cup. It stars Liam McIntyre (“Spartacus: War of the Damned”), Harvey Keitel, Poppy Drayton (“Downton Abbey”) and newcomer Jenia Tanaeva. The company plans to release the movie on July 26. “See You Soon” is the feature directorial debut of David Mahmoudieh. Central Partnership is handling foreign sales. The sale was finalized at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

The film also stars Oleg Taktarov (“Predators”), Spanish soccer legend Carles Puyol and Larissa Malevannaya. Tanaeva wrote the script with Mike Cestari. The romantic drama is produced by Tanaeva under her Rising Moon Prods. banner and Monella Kaplan for eMotion Entertainment, with Alexander Mikhalskiy executive producing.

He played one of the most iconic '80s villains, but there's much more to Dolph Lundgren than Soviet Apollo Creed killer Ivan Drago. He's fit, he's handsome, he's charming, and damn it, he's our favorite Expendable. He speaks several languages, holds a chemical engineering degree and earned a scholarship to attend MIT. These are10 badass facts about Dolph Lundgren that you most likely don't know.

He's highly educated.

Don't be fooled by the 250 lbs. of muscle he carried around as He-Man in 1987's Masters of the Universe. Dolph Lundgren is practically a damn genius. The actor, writer, director, and producer was born Hans Lundgren, the son of a language teacher and an engineer for the Swedish government. He graduated from high school with straight As, studied engineering at Washington State University, served his mandatory year in the Swedish Marine Corps, earned a degree in chemical engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology,...

Stx Entertainment has released the first trailer and poster for Den of Thieves, a new crime thriller starring Gerard Butler as a legendary Los Angeles cop trying to take down a brazen crew of bank robbers. Along with this new trailer, Stx has also debuted quite the unique poster, with this team of cops lead by Gerard Butler's Nick Flanagan on one side, and the bank robbers lead by 50 Cent's character on the bottom, which can be reversed so the robbers side is on top and the cops are on the bottom. We'll have to wait until January to find out who truly comes out on top in this epic thriller.

A few weeks ago, in anticipation of Guardians of the Galaxy's theatrical release, I wrote about the Curse of Tor Johnson, named after the old-school wrestler (and Ed Wood muse) who may have also been responsible for 50 years of terrible performances from professional wrestlers.

Since I wrote for WWE's Monday Night Raw for about six months, I wondered if the presence of Dave Bautista, a former champion, would jinx Guardians' box-office mojo. Three weeks into its theatrical run (and more than $175 million in receipts later), it's safe to say the Curse has been broken.

The Facebook page for the 2010 movie Predators has been updated with a teaser image for Hunt the Predator, which 20th Century Fox will be bringing to Comic-Con international later this week.

The photo features the San Diego Gaslamp area, where Sdcc is annually held, as seen through the iconic heat vision of the Predator. It has not yet been revealed what Hunt the Predator pertains to, or what it will include. Many are speculating that a sequel to Predators may be announced, or even an Untitled Predator Reboot. Way back at Comic-Con 2010, Predators producer Robert Rodriguez revealed that a sequel was in the works, but we haven't heard anything about the project since then.

Are we alone in the universe? Pondering upon the vastness of the universe, we'd have to be incredibly self-centered to think we are the only life form in existence. And although we haven't seen proof of our intergalactic brethren, there have been plenty of films and TV shows about their clandestine (and more demonstrative) visits to Earth.

Now we have an entirely new horrific vision about one of those alien visits and the havoc they cause in Dark Skies. Keri Russell and Josh Hamilton star as the married couple whose life becomes derailed by mysterious happenings caused by a disturbing malevolent force…and it isn't a domestic disturbance by any means. This one is imported. Way imported.

There have been a lot of cool stories to come out of Hollywood in the last couple of years, but for our money one of the coolest is the sudden and unexpected career resurgence of Dolph Lundgren, who came out of nowhere (aka Europe) to reclaim his action star title with his turn as the despicable Gunnar Jensen in 2010's "The Expendables."

Now, Lundgren is kicking it into even higher gear with "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning," which reunites him with his "Expendables 2" co-star Jean-Claude Van Damme for the sixth (!) installment of their long-running sci-fi series.

All of which got us wondering: What is it about Dolph Lundgren that makes him so cool?

Well, after doing a little research, we discovered the answer: Pretty much everything. With that in mind, we thought we'd present the top 10 Things You Didn't Know About Dolph Lundgren and help reveal the mysteries of the...

Given the law of averages, it’s fairly common that as film fans we’re far more likely to run into a stinker than we are a new classic, or worse still a underwhelming slice of anti-climax that promised so much more. Quite often that leaves us deciphering a mess and hanging on to small morsels of consolation from an ultimately wasted couple of hours.

The end result of this is that you, on occasion, may stumble across a disproportionately good turn from the only actor in the movie who seemed to be taking their work seriously. You could make a legitimate claim that this is far more worthy than excellent acting in Oscar bait, but such feats are so often ignored and dismissed along with its mediocre surround.

Here is a run down of ten such performances, a rare moment...

Predators is a “2010 American science fiction action film directed by Nimród Antal and starring Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, and Alice Braga. The film follows Royce (Adrien Brody), a mercenary, who wakes up finding himself falling from the sky into a jungle. Once on the ground, he meets other people who have arrived there in the same manner, all of whom have questionable backgrounds, except for a doctor (Topher Grace). As the film progresses, the group discovers that they are on an alien planet that acts as a game preserve to which they are being...

Predators

Stars: Adrien Brody, Alice Braga, Walton Goggin, Oleg Taktarov, Danny Trejo, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Topher Grace, Laurence Fishburne | Written by Alex Litvak & Michael Finch | Directed by Nimrod Antal

Adrien Brody is perhaps the most unlikely successor to Arnold Schwarzenegger one is liable to imagine. Brody is best known for offbeat and intelligent indie fare, such as Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited or Roman Polanski’s The Pianist, so it is somewhat of a surprise to see his name on the cast list in this latest installment in the Predator series. Less surprising, though no less welcome is Robert Rodriguez’s role as producer. Rodriguez’s name is something of an indicator of quality; generally, he makes good, fun films, ideal for Saturday night viewing and Predators is no exception.

Brody plays a tough as nails mercenary who, in the very first scene, awakes in mid-air while...

Predator is one of the great action movies of the 1980’s. John McTiernan directed the hell out of it, and it is one of the great signature Arnold Schwarzenegger roles. They tried sequelizing it, and then there were the pathetic Alien vs. Predator films – Fox knew there was a franchise here, they just didn’t know how to pull it off. So they hired Robert Rodriguez to produce a new sequel that ignored all the other spin-offs, and to class it up, they ripped off James Cameron by naming it Predators. Nimrod Antal directs Adrian Brody, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins, Laurence Fishburne, Alice Braga, Topher Grace, Louis Ozawa Changchein, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, and Oleg Taktarov as a group of killers rounded up by Predators, and let loose on an Alien planet to defend themselves. In this case, the hunters become the hunted until they become hunters hunting the hunters who are hunting them.

Chicago – Perhaps it’s because it is so clearly inspired by a retro style of action but Nimrod Antal’s “Predators,” now available on Blu-ray and DVD, plays better at home than it did at the disappointing theatrical screening in the middle of summer 2010. It’s still a bit of a disappointment, but it’s one of those films that’s nowhere near as bad as it could have been and features a few strong set pieces, especially in HD.

Blu-Ray Rating: 3.0/5.0

The opening act of “Predators” is its most accomplished. Antal literally throws us into the action as Royce (Adrien Brody) plummets toward the ground. At the last minute, a parachute opens and slightly softens his landing. Royce is getting his bearings when another body lands to his right and then his left. It’s a human air drop into what resembles the Amazon Rain Forest.

Predators was released...

A once proud franchise had basically fallen apart. Now it returns again with something more akin to the original. It may not exactly be better than it, but it at least scores points for not being as terrible as the other sequels. Royce (Adrien Brody) wakes up to find himself falling through the air and not knowing how he got in the situation. He.s about to splat when his chute opens and he finds himself in a lush jungle. He finds he.s not alone as drug enforcer Cuchillo (Danny Trejo) is in the jungle and just as confused as he is. They.re nearly killed by Russian solider Nikolai (Oleg Taktarov) but also find soldier Mombasa (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali),...

This week sees a ton of genre movies coming out on DVD and Blu- Ray. The biggest being Predators, followed up by the remake of the cult classic Night of the Demons, a sequel to Mirrors, and Anniversary editions for Rocky Horror Picture Show and Psycho. Add to that a slew of indie and classic horror and there is a lot to choose from.

Predators

Directed by Nimród Antal

Robert Rodriguez presents Predators, a bold new chapter in the Predator universe. Adrien Brody stars as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors mysteriously brought together on a jungle planet.

Predators also star Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, Danny Trejo, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Oleg Taktarov, and Louis Ozawa Changchien.

Blu-Ray Artwork PredatorsToday is a good day with Predators releasing on DVD and Blu-Ray formats. Both formats will host a slew of extras and the Blu-Ray copy will hold the edge, with several more features hosted. The DVD and Blu-Ray copies will have an audio commentary from producer Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antal, and motion comics with a focus on the characters: Isabelle, Cuchillo, Hanzo, and Mombasa. A total of six other features will show on the Blu-Ray including deleted scenes and a making-of film. The full list of Blu-Ray and DVD extras are below, along with the film's final theatrical trailer.

The most recent synopsis for the show is here:

"Predators follows a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they’ve been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. With the notable exception of a disgraced physician,...

The number of home video releases on October 19th is not as abundant as in recent weeks, and fewer re-released titles means those that are available are much more special. In this batch one Adrien Brody flick competes with another, and at least two independent horror titles are making a splash. Two beloved classic films return in Blu-ray where one is supplemented by a documentary treatment of it.

Also, don't forget to strum & drum out with some tunes from Rob Zombie on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Finally, foreign horror gives us an over-the-top Japanese gorefest, a British zombie flick where the $70 budget was spent on tea and biscuits for the zombies, and Norwegian black metal.

Predators

Directed by Nimród Antal

Robert Rodriguez presents Predators (review), a bold new chapter in the Predator universe. Adrien Brody stars as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors mysteriously brought together on a jungle planet.

Filed under: DVDs

It's not often that you'll find films as extremely opposite as the two main theatrical releases heading to home video this week. First up is the testosterone-pumping sci-fi action adventure reboot 'Predators,' starring Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Trejo, Louis Ozawa Changchien and Mahershalalhashbaz Ali as mercenaries and murderers transported to an alien planet where they're hunted down as prey. It's action -- action -- action. At the other end of the spectrum is 'Please Give,' a gentle comedy of human proportions about life on this planet, starring Catherine Keener, Oliver Platt, Rebecca Hall and Amanda Peet.

The DVD and Blu-ray release of Robert Rodriguez's much-anticipated reboot, Predators (Read: Movie Review: Predators), doesn't come until October 19, but details on the discs and what features they will offer have been released by 20th Century Fox to allow you some insight into which you'll want to pick up when the time comes.

The movie takes place on a Predator inhabited planet, where a group of Earth's most-deadly and dangerous killers -- soldiers, murderers, crime lords, special forces -- have all been brought there as worthy prey for the ultimate hunter species. It returns us to the fun we had watching in the 1987 original Arnold Schwarzenegger film, which had since been lost in Alien vs. Predators and AvP: Requiem.

The Nimród Antal directed movie stars Adrien Brody, Danny Trejo, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Oleg Taktarov, Walt Goggins, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, and Laurence Fishburn.

A bold new chapter in the Predator universe, Predators was shot on location under Robert Rodriguez's creative auspices at the filmmaker's Austin-based Troublemaker Studios, and is directed by Nimr&#243d Antal. The film stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet.

Film: ‘Predators’; Director: Nimrod Antal; Cast: Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov; Rating:**1/2

When the first ‘Predator’ came in 1987, there was no money to be made on selling computer games based on films. Movies were purely made for the pleasure of cinema or to make money purely from the film rather than the various spin-offs it could generate. Twenty-three years down the line, ‘Predators’ forgets this and ends up becoming nothing but a platform to launch as many possible sequels and computer games.

Comparison with the original is but.

Los Angeles, Aug 5 – Brazilian actress Alice Braga was teased by her ‘Predators’ co-stars when she landed on the sets wearing a dress on the first day of shooting.

‘The first day I came to set wearing a dress and (co-star) Oleg Taktarov looked at me and said, ‘You can’t wear a dress (for this film)’. I said, ‘What do you mean? I’m a girl. You better be careful what you say because I’m carrying a gun!” said Braga.

She added that being surrounded by men all the time on the sets made her.

August 4, 2010: Alice Braga has worked on several action oriented and sci-fi films but she had a funny experience on the first day of shoot of ‘Predators’.

The pretty actress landed on the sets in a dress and was immediately teased by her co-stars about it. She quips, “The first day I came to set wearing a dress and (co-star) Oleg Taktarov looked at me and said, “You can’t wear a dress [for this film].” I said, “What do you mean? I’m a girl. You better be careful what you say because I’m carrying a gun!”

Alice adds that though she had fun.

Robert Rodriguez says Predators 2 is a "Go"IGN got a chance to sit down with writer/director/producer Robert Rodriguez to talk about the possibility of a second Predators movie. Here's what he had to say:

"[The studio] said, 'Let's do some other ones. What other story ideas do you have?'" says the filmmaker. "Because it was like, let's test out the market with this one. They really wanted it to be pretty contained, pretty scaled-back. They didn't want to put too many of the ideas into it that we could save for a second one. So we could see what the appetite was, because the bigger movie would actually be what comes following that. That kind of sets up a new storyline, new location and world, and then you can really go crazy from there."

According to IGN, Rodriguez says he has "an idea" of what he will do with the sequel.

Writer: Alex Litvak, Michael Finch

Predators directed by Nimrod Antal jumps, or should I say falls right into the action. We see Royce (Adrien Brody) in free fall,...

Rumor has it that three follow up films, a sequel and two crossovers with the “Alien” franchise, to John McTiernan’s 1987 sci-fi thriller, “Predator,” exist somewhere out there in the ether. I’m convinced this is nothing more than a legend, an old wives’ tale. I don’t believe it. There is only one sequel to that testosterone-filled, suspense-riddled Arnold Schwarzenegger classic and it is Nimrod Antal’s “Predators.”

Royce (Adrien Brody), an ex-us special forces soldier-turned mercenary regains consciousness while hurtling toward a thick blanket of trees below. He has no idea where he is or why. Moments after his parachute springs open he crashes into a dense tropical forest. Gathering himself he discovers a half dozen others that have arrived just as he has. Among them: a Russian Spetsnaz commando (Oleg Taktarov), a Sierra Leonean death squad soldier (Mahershalalhashbaz Ali), a convicted Federal prisoner (Walton Goggins), a Yakuza...
