Robert Sanchez from IESB attended the world premier of X-Men Origins: Wolverine in Tempe Arizona yesterday and talked to Tom Rothman, Chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment.

First topic they talked about was the predator reboot and yes Robert Rodriguez is getting full control of the franchise. Tom Rothman calls him Creative Godfather -writing/producing.

The other big news is a possible Alien prequel. Rothman said:

There’s been some talk. Ridley Scott, Ridley is right now working on Robin Hood, but I think he’s toying with the idea and that would be great for us. I mean, it’s always been a matter of, really, if you can get the originator to do it that would be the greatest thing, so I’ve got my fingers crossed, all of them.

Another question that Robert asked Rothman is “What’s going on with Avatar”??  Tom describes it as THE movie that will change the way we see movies. So be sure to be at Comic Con this year if you want to see the first footage of it !!
