Never seen her anything but she looks good enough. There is also a scientist in Predator 2, when Harrigan goes to get the spear tip analysed. Looks like she may have a larger role, though.
A medical examiner. For one minute. With bad dialogue.
This be a leadin' role.

The more I read about it the more it sounds like they're going for the remake of P2. Urban setting, detective story, a scientist, etc. Personally I don't mind. I'm betting they will set it in NY, like it was originally planned for P2, and if they are, it makes sense now why they chose (or at least planning) 50 cent. Hes a rapper from NY, and he got shot like 9 times or something, perfect guy to play a gang leader who gets decapitated by the pred later on in the film.
Not at all. Suburbia is different from industrial downtown Los Angeles. And Shane didn't say it was a detective story, only that there
may be a detective story somewhere inside it because he loves detective stories so much. And 'boned like a fish' lady wasn't a scientist, that was a medical examiner who had a one minute role.
This movie actually doesn't sound like a remake of the previous movies at all, this movie actually sounds like it's own unique fresh novel thing. (P2, AvP, AvP:R, and Predators, especially Predators, all feel like remakes. Agatha Christie thrillers.) A Predator movie should not be defined by the setting. Predator 2, hate to be the one to reveal it, is pretty much a remake of the original movie, beat-for-beat. The window dressing is different, sure, but it's the same movie, but without the wonder and mystery of the first one, because we already know what they're up against, so we're watching these detectives play catch-up for an hour. It's gorier, more profane, cruder, not as tightly wound.
Setting's different. We see many predators for a couple minutes, we see their ship; that's all cool but it's brief. The meat of the movie SHOULD have been the Keyes character and his team(or a character and team SIMILAR to them). That's your movie right there. Not unwitting people getting knocked over one by one again.
