SDCC’09: Dark Horse rides the next wave
At the con, Dark Horse announced a bunch of new projects that the company promises is the next evolution of the comics medium. Oddly, only one announcement (made yesterday) features anything to do with electronics.
Running down the list, I see one that Rodrigo will like in the form of Age of Reptiles. Even though IDW Announced its Archie hardcover collections, it looks like Dark Horse is also going to be offering one up. I’ll have to follow up on this one. There’s also a new One-Shot program coming out of DHC, with the mighty Conan getting featured in the first one. Also featured will be Hellboy, Goon, and Dr. Horrible.
Finally, Final Fantasy fans will feel fantastic over the phenomenal Final Fantasy Boxed Set.
Robert Rodriguez Brings Machete to the Screen, Relaunches Predator Series
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.
