First look at ‘Predators’ during SXSW
SXSW is always game for a few good surprises, and with the festival less than 10 days away, we have early word on one of those little gifts.
Producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimród Antal will be offering a “First Look” at their film “Predators.” The movie will screen at 10:15 p.m. on Friday, March 12 at Alamo Ritz, with doors at 9:45 p.m.. Now for the bad news for some of you, the special event will only be open to badge-holders, and, as always, will be on a first-come first-served basis. A Q&A with the audience will be held following the screening.
“My director, Nimród Antal, and I are excited to bring this first look at Predators to Austin’s SXSW Film Festival, an event that’s become vital to the filmmaking scene,” Rodriguez said. “Austin is my home and I’m proud that Predators was conceived and filmed here.”
“Predators,” based on characters from the original 1987 “Predator,” 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… as prey. In addition to Brody, the film stars Topher Grace, Alice Braga, and Laurence Fishburne. Co-starring are Walton Goggins, Danny Trejo, Oleg Taktarov and Mahershalalhashbaz Ali.”
The fest has also announced that it will showcase the world premiere of Géla Babluani’s “13,” — starring Jason Statham and Mickey Rourke — which will take place at midnight on Saturday, March 13 at the Alamo South Lamar Theater, taking the TBA slot in the SX Fantastic section.
