Oct 7 2009Adrien Brody, Venom, Others Facing Multiple Predators
I've always said Adrien Brody and Topher Grace were basically the new Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers. At last, validation!
Adrien Brody is boarding to star in "Robert Rodriguez's Predators," Fox’s reboot of the sci-fi franchise being directed by Nimrod Antal.Topher Grace is in negotiations to join the action-adventure movie, to which Alice Braga ("I Am Legend"), Mahershalalhashbaz Ali ("The 4400"), Walt Goggins ("The Shield"), Rodriguez mainstay Danny Trejo and UFC fighter Oleg Taktarov have also been cast.
Written by Rodriguez, Alex Litvak and Michael Finch, the script follows a group of elite warrior-types who are being hunted by members of a race of merciless alien trackers called Predators.
Brody is a man who ends up inheriting the mantle of leader and is known as a hunter of men. Grace would play an accountant-type whose unassuming facade masks a dangerous serial killer.
Braga is the tough female killer. Ali is a man not afraid to die, Goggins is the loose canon of the group and Taktarov is a former Russian special ops agent.
Trejo, already cast, is Cuchillo, a hardened warrior with twin uzis strapped to his back.
I guess that's good news from the Predators' point of view. It's got to be a lot easier to hunt Adrien Brody than Schwarzenegger.

The director is a Nimrod?
And how and the hell do you pronounce that one guy's name? And that's his fucking first name? Malahdhafharjfamfameheherdrdresffoborekrere Ali. Is that some kind of joke?

mahershalalhashbaz
i was gonna say
what kind of a first name is that?

nimrod and maher****** notwithstanding - the premise itself is badass. the predators collect "predator"-type people because they're better sport... at least the title doesn't just refer to plural aliens anymore

"I guess that's good news from the Predators' point of view. It's got to be a lot easier to hunt Adrien Brody than Schwarzenegger."
Sh*t, half the f*cking German army couldn't find him when he was running around bombed-out Warsaw, it's not like somebody who hasn't even been to the planet before is going to do any better...

Remember when Rodriguez made good movies? It's sad when you see this happen.

I wont mind as long as Adrien Brody is screaming, KILL ME NOW! in an Austrian accent at the end when he comes face to face with the predator.

Oh jesus, this sounds terrible. And that is unfortunate because I really love Adrien Brody and Robert Rodriguez.

So Topher is a serial killer, but Goggins is the "loose cannon" of the group? How much more loose cannon can you get than a serial killer? What, is Topher a really down-to-earth, reasonable serial killer? This movie sounds ridiculous.
...but I'll still go see it.
