Adrien Brody is not normally someone you'd associate with action films; but the actor is apparently keen to reinvent himself as a gun-toting mercenary, as Variety is reporting that he will star in the up-coming Robert Rodriguez produced sequel/prequel Predators. Nimrod Antal, whose latest flick Armored is currently awaiting release, will direct the intriguing sounding flick that has already cast Alice Braga and Rodriguez regular Danny Trejo. According to the trade paper, Brody really went after the role, which is described as similar to that of Arnold Schwarzenegger's in the original. Expect the Oscar winning actor to get seriously pumped for the part, as he does seem to be from the method school of acting. The film is to start shooting in Hawaii and Texas in the new few weeks.
