The Nimrod Antal-directed, Robert Rodriguez-produced Predators has garnered a lot of fanboy support over the past few months, but this casting news will certainly come as a bit of a surprise to anyone who has been monitoring the progress of this film. Adrien Brody has been cast as the lead in the reboot, and Topher Grace is also in negotiations to join the cast.
Brody isn’t the type of actor many would describe as a “warrior-type,” but it appears that he impressed the filmmakers enough to earn the role. Though official plot descriptions are vague, the story will generally follow a rag-tag group of mercenaries who are hunted by the titular alien trackers. According to THR’s Risky Biz Blog, Brody will play “a man who ends up inheriting the mantle of leader and is known as a hunter of men.” Meanwhile, Grace would play “an accountant-type whose unassuming facade masks a dangerous serial killer.” Hit the jump to see who else has been cast.
