What the **** is Adrien Brody Doing Starring in ‘Predators’?
King Kong was one of the most horrible miscast movies of all time, partly because Jack Black was in it at all, but mainly because Adrien Brody was playing the rugged hero. But now, this latest news that Brody has the lead role (said to be a “Steve McQueen” type) in Robert Rodriguez’s Predators, is just blowing my mind.
Yes, Brody won an Oscar (undeservedly in my mind), but why the HELL does anyone think he’s an action hero? Just look at that face! A Jewish pianist, absolutely. A grizzled soldier hunting aliens? **** NO! Just what the hell is the thought process here? He must have the world’s greatest agent…
If this wasn’t strange enough, Topher Grace has also joined the cast of Predators, except I can actually buy it as he plays an unassuming nerdy accountant who happens to be a serial killer. I can dig that.
Hey, at least Brody isn’t Channing Tatum.

Hey thats what the said about Reeves before he starred in The Matrix and Speed, no one thought he could transfer his acting into something action oriented and see him now, everyone copies his Matrix move that we all love =D. Its called expanding your value to the public and the movie industry, plus if this is a success its another feather in his cap. Don’t sleep on him, he has the potential to be great.
Paul-
Your last line sums it up. At least he can act.

Eh, I don’t know. I think someone much bigger (size wise) should have been cast. Imagine a crew of Mickey Rourke, The Rock, Danny Trejo, Alexander Skaarsgard, and like, Gerard Butler running around trying to fight Predators. That’s be great. But Brody??? I hope I’m proven wrong.
I can see where you are coming from, but the mind is always stronger then the body, and glance over at the Alien series, no one complains about a woman being the main protagonist because it was the way it started, with a woman. Yes Arnold set the stage for the Predator vs. Buff Hero, but Danny Glover went face to face with the one in LA and he is a normal seeming dude can we agree, not as if you see him ripping his shirt off even though its the hot summers. What it entails for us humans to destroy these monsters goes beyond the physical. Intuition, courage, being able to use the environment is what the army teaches you to use, hence the term guerrilla warfare. Because of the Predators superior strength and cunning as well as technology can destroy a man such as the men you mentioned. What it will come down to is the story of the character’s past and what he (maybe she, remember AVP) has to face whether it be one or three as we saw in each of the movies. Besides, they will have other actors for the bigger size type of role, maybe even a few depending on where it is on the planet or even if it is on Earth =O lol.
