It’s a grab bag of items on the radar this week. Wolverine and Sabretooth have dinner together, Bruno himself could be the next Man in Black, and in honor of The Flickcast crew attending SXSW some Predators love (of which they may get a taste).
Predators get dark and scary…finally!
Robert Rodriquez‘s Predator reboot, Predators, is starting to get some buzz. While the first film of the series was a great sci-fi/action hybrid subsequent films have been less than stellar. Predators star, Alice Braga talked a little about the new film and what we can expect:
“The new Predators are dark. They are really, really scary. So I think the fans are really going to be happy with it. I hope so. The director Nimród Antal, he’s a fan of the Predator films. So it’s like a fan directing this, [it was] like a kid on set, and having that energy was very special. I wish I could tell you more.”
Here’s hoping “dark” and “scary” means an R-rated film and not a watered down PG-13 movie.
Conan will square off against Avatar villain
As an update to our last ‘On The Radar’ article, it has now been confirmed that actor Stephen Lang will indeed play Conan’s villain, Khalar Singh. Speaking with MTV, Lang stated:
“I have no idea how I’m going to do it,” Lang laughed. “First I’m going to find out how I’m going to sound. I’m going to get back on a Mongolian pony and ride like the wind. I’m going to flash my scimitar. I’m going to cut the nuts off Conan and his father.”
That last threat may seem really out there, but after seeing Lang’s bad ass side in Avatar I have no doubt he can make good on it.
