In A Fight Between Danny Trejo And A Predator - Who Would Win?? Looks Like We'll Soon Find Out...

Published at:  Sep 28, 2009 11:38:52 AM CDT


Merrick here...



Punch Drunk Critics recently conducted a brief on-camera interview with Danny Trejo.

The discussion turned to Trejo's rumored involvement in another SIN CITY film - Trejo basically said that the new SC project was still being mulled, but "We're going to do PREDATOR next."

This isn't particularly surprising given Trejo's frequent (ubiquitous?) involvement with Rodriguez projects, but...still...the concept of Danny -vs- Predator is pretty Geekasmic.

See for yourself via the embed below...




...which originates HERE.

Trejo goes on to indicate production on the Nimrod Antal directed PREDATOR film will begin "in about a month", and that the MACHETE movie will stay very close in tone to the trailer which spawned it.

    by crow3711

    Yea, the trailer is great, and the two dozen people whoa ctually saw Grindhouse will think its a fun experiment, but the general public will give it a big WTF?! and absolutely no one will see it. mark my words. This is indulgence at its peak.

    Trejo's fine, but how will this not be lame?

    by kevred

    I just don't see how they can do this in a way that won't be incredibly stupid. The whole Predator concept was irretrievably corrupted once fanboy-writers and comic types extended it, created backstories for it, and turned it into a complete parody of itself. The brilliance of the original concept was the mystery. Once you overdo it, it's gone. Move on to a new idea.

    by rickey henderson

    Count Rickey in. Although it could never possibly be as fantastic a predator movie as McTiernan's original. Mark Rickey's words: Rodruigez will make a stylized schlocky genre flick. Not the serious balls to the wall action flick we're all hoping for.

    by spud mcspud

    And Andrew Koenig was the best Joker. Yeah, even better than Heath. There, I said it.

    So make the BATMAN - ARKHAM ASYLUM movie with Sandy Collora directing everyone from DEAD END in it. Then we can all stop worshipping Nolan and Bale, when all Nolan did was remake HEAT with Batman in there for Act 1 of TDK, and all Bale did was add the dumbest fucking voice you've ever heard for Batman.

    There IS life after Chris Nolan's "vision" (ahem). It is Sandy Collora.

    Predator tries coke, likes it (fx lasts longer than in earthlings), sets up his own factory in South America - all non-GMO, Roundup free natural coca, cacao, cola... A team called Machete's Mothfuckos come parapoopchuting down from a black aeroplane to destroy the predator's Eco-Coca Brand compound. Predator is pissed, for he has plans to expand, exporting cocaine and other kosher goods with the letter C, from the 3rd rock to the Milky Way!
