Brody to battle 'Predators'

By Adnan Tezer Oct 7, 2009, 22:27 GMT

In what has to be considered a surprise, Adrien Brody has been cast by 20th Century Fox to play the leader of a group of heroic mercenaries who battle alien hunters in "Predators," the reinvention of the "Predator" franchise that is being creatively overseen by Robert Rodriguez.

According to Variety, Brody will star with Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali and Louiz Ozawa.

Nimrod Antal is directing the film, production of which is about to get under way on location in Hawaii and at Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas.

"Predators" will be released on July 9, 2010.

Best known for his Oscar-winning turn in the Roman Polanski-directed "The Pianist," Brody will be playing a character similar to the Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer character that Arnold Schwarzenegger did in the 1987 original.

Fox is hoping to begin a new franchise, and Brody has signed options to return for future installments.
