Jason Unmasked! Derek Mears Joins 'Predators'

DateSunday, October 18, 2009 at 9:37PM
Robert Rodriguez continues to add parts to his upcoming Predators reboot. The film will be directed by Nimrod Antal (Vacancy) and we previously reported that Adrien Brody was tipped to take the lead role in the film, joining Danny Trejo, Alice Braga, and Topher Grace. That's a lot of names you wouldn't necessarily anticipate being involved with this.

Now, from Dread Central, comes news that the current Jason Voorhees, Derek Means, will join the cast, probably but not definitely as one of the predators. "People were talking for a couple of weeks, but I wasn't able to confirm," Mears told the site.

"I kept assuring the filmmakers that I was not the leak. Now it's out there, but I'm still not saying who I play."

The project is filming in a couple locations this fall, Hawaii and Austin (at Rodriguez' Troublemaker Studios), and will be in theaters on July 10th of next year. But are they done casting it? Hard to believe a big action movie in a prime summer slot would lean on Adrien Brody and Topher Grace.

i dont think this is going to do that well, the reason the first was so good was that it was the alpha male shoot em up kinda thing, hard to really see adrian brody having a one on one fight scene with the predator and not getting completely massacred, you can't rely on guns and lazors to really get this movie to be good, also I think having it in space would suck. Too many predators means more action and less suspense, which is what the original delivered.

I will give this one a chance. Since they have not been able to get the Alien or Predator movies right in recent years. However, I still dont understand why they just dont based another Predator or Alien move on a platoon of Colonial Marines. Shake that up and it adds the flavor of the original Predator and Aliens.
