Variety is reporting that actor Adrien Brody has been cast as the lead in Robert Rodriguez Predator movie relaunch. This is quite a bit different than Arnold Schwartzenegger’s role from 1987. Also starring in the movie will be Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, and Louiz Ozawa.
Predator is expected to hit theaters on July 9, 2010.
I’m finding the best way to start my morning is to take a peek under the hood of Hollywood and find out what is percolating.  Today, it’s a dose of Spider-Man 4, Star Trek, Ghostbuster, and Dragonball news. Yup, Dragonball, with a bit of A-Team news to boot.

Variety is reporting Robert Rodriguez is taking the Machete trailer from his Grindhouse film, and turning it into a feature length movie. Danny Trejo will play the lead character, with Rodriguez expected to start filming in June.
Machete is a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, who is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator.
In addition to that bit of news, Variety also reports that the producer/director/editor/graphic artist/musician/grip/gaffer/catterer/fill in any other job Rodriguez does himself here has written the script for the relaunch of the Predator series for 20th Century Fox. This I find really interesting, because the last round of Aliens vs. Predator didn’t totally suck balls, and in fact made quite a bit of money for the studio.
For now it looks like Rodriguez is only writing the Predator script.
Even though it was only announced a few weeks ago, the first Red Sonja teaser poster was released at San Diego Comic Con. Originally scheduled for 2010, it looks like we might see the movie a year earlier than expected. I’m still not convinced Rose is the best She Devil with a Sword, but if she can bring life to the Roy Thomas and Barry Windsor-Smith creation, and do it right, then I’ll see it.
Variety is reporting Dimension Films will be turning Madman into a live action film. Robert Rodriques will produce the film through his Troublemaker Studios, with George Huang directing. Huang will also be sharing writing credits as he will pen the script with Michael Allred – creator of Madman.
The film will also be shot at Rodriquez’s studios in Texas. In the story, the hero is killed in a car accident and brought back to life Frankenstein style, complete with enhanced senses, psychic powers, and exceptional physical skills. Unfortuantely Dr. Frank Enstien can’t fix his face, so Madman must where a costume to conceal his identity and scars
We’ve previously reported Allred is relaunching his Madman Atomic Comics through Image Comics.
