Actor Adrien Brody has signed on to take the lead role in the upcoming reboot of “Predator,” according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Brody plays the heroic mercenary who battles alien hunters in “Predators,” a reboot of the popular franchise being creatively spearheaded by Robert Rodriguez.
Brody will star with Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walt Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, and Louiz Ozawa.
Nimrod Antal is directing a film that is about to get underway on location in Hawaii and at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.
Fox has set the film for release July 9, 2010.
Normally I would bypass this one, but with Danny Trejo onboard…I’m there!
Adrien Brody taking on Schwarzenegger’s role? He doesn’t seem to be the type of actor I’d cast as a leader of a veteran military unit.
I would have thought someone with a little more bulk would have been chosen, maybe Vin Diesel?
Are you kidding?!? A scrawny guy like him? Bring on The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) or John Cena! Predator wins this one easily.
I dunno, this could be interesting. The original predator was basically a Brawn against Brawn one on one action. They could play this one as Brains against Brawn team on team (PredatorS). Plus we get to see Brody on Predy, girl on predator, robot on robot (wait, that was Transmorpers). Anyhow, not expecting much from this, and I am sure not to be disappointed. Pass the popcorn.
Yea, Adrien Brody was a horrible pick for this action hero role. I think the perfect pick would have been Roland Kickinger who is exactly Arnold Schwarzenegger’s twin brother. That would have really given this movie some muscle.
id rather see brody pull this off than just another bulky wannabe-cool-guy actor. (diesel, cena, d rock johnson, chrisian bale) lets see somethin new. somethin non-cliche. this movie is gonna be awesome
