It was rumoured last week that Fox were looking for four people to play a “Black”, “Asian”, “Russian” and “Latino” marine in the upcoming Predators movie. ShortFilmTexas.com posted a casting call for these characters two days ago. The article has since been removed now but here’s the character descriptions:
ASIAN MALE – 30s. Slender, stealthy and a master with the katana. A man of few words…LEAD
BLACK MALE – 30s – 40s. Quiet but full of deadly old-world wisdom. A natural-born killer not afraid to die. Authentic African…LEAD
RUSSIAN MALE – 30s – 40s. Frightening bear of a man…shoot first, ask questions later…LEAD
LATINO MALE – 30s – 40s. Hardened, brutal…Danny Trejo type…LEAD
You can read the casting call in full in the forum.
