Robert Rodriguez & Alice Braga Reveal Deeper Meaning Of 'Predators'

By Daniela Capistrano

Sci-fi heads who have been following the new 'Predators' know that the film wrapped in the second week of January. It's a long wait until the July release, so enjoy this clip of director Robert Rodriguez from SXSW!

Among other tasty behind-the-scenes factoids, Rodriguez reveals that back in 1996 he was originally hired for 'Predators' as a writer.

If you can't wait for a taste of the new 'Predators,' perhaps some solace can be found in Alice Braga. The Brazilian actress plays gun-toting Isabelle in Rodriguez's revamp of the film series.

When speaking with MTV News at SXSW, Braga had this to say about her character:

"She's a girl from special forces. She's a tough cookie. She's a sniper. She jumps into the story and is trying to run for her life, which is classic 'Predator' films."

What do you think, Tr3s Comunidad? Does she have what it takes to be an action star? Judge for yourself — you can "analyze" her moves in Repo Men, in theaters now.
