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.

Is this actually happening, it still feels like a joke, I can't accept that this is real, it sounds so awful. ???
Pitch Black but Predators
Danny Trejo would be cool though. I have not the slightest objection if he's in it.
This casting call seems like the beginning of some bar joke, but maybe that's just me. :-\
Got to have a diverse group. Cuz diverse only means 1 of each race. ::) Best to cram in cliche into the races as much as possible. Otherwise, they are being racist.
that is truly cool about casting news of new predator movies.
The just put a ton of cliches into every one of those races... this movie is going downhill into a pool of mud, and dragging the cloaked Predators with it. I really hope this is just a stupid rumour, or by some amazing chance the characters.. are.. handled... well?
Its like some kinda wierd personals ad. Asian male - 30s, enjoys long walks in the park, cooking, katana fighting, and cuddling on the sofa.
not good! :-\
it sounds like G.I. JoE with predators >:(
Mr. Weyland how do you know what the story is going to be about.
Nathan Jones would be good...don't know if he's Russian though....as for an Asain male...maybe Tony Jaa just give him a katana and he'll be good....Latino male would have to be Danny Trejo....and finally a black male...Deobia Oparei (destroyer in Doom) not sure if he's from Africa though.
A quiet Asian, a wise black guy, an intimidating Russian, and a tough Latino... Wow, good thing they're not resorting to boring stereotypes.
Those characters, sound mostly like the original characters of predator. Wow, thats sad.
"ASIAN MALE - 30s. Slender, stealthy and a master with the katana. A man of few words…LEAD" Is this a f**king joke?...i mean..wow.
This sounds f**ked up. AVPR cast will probably look like Oscar winners compared to this movies cast.
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje - black guy Silvio Simac - russian guy
Michelle Rodriguez - Tough Latina
