Title: Rumor: Former Batman actor to star in The Predator?
Post by: Darkoo on May 13, 2016, 05:53:40 PM
Jeff Sneider ( the head of The Wrap) implied in Collider movie talk that one of the Batman actors will be in the cast.

When do they mention it?

Has to be Christian Bale. I always thought the Royce character from Predators was pretty similar to him.

Interesting. Sneider reacts to Bale and Affleck.

George Clooney? Val Kilmer? Adam West?

Maybe Keaton? They couldn't work him out for Spider-man, could this be the reason?

Yeah, he especially reacts to Affleck.

Isn't he busy working on his solo Batman though?

It's Adam West guys, mark my words.

He's shooting Justice League at the moment which should be wrapped around... september/october.

It fits...

That could mean they're waiting for him to start shooting. That would mean he's the only reason the movie is not being filmed today. I could have my teaser by the end of the summer.

They'd still need the prep time anyway  :laugh: but it fits with his recent comment about September/October time based on actor availability...

I liked Affleck as Batman in Dawn of Justice.. he totally killed it as Batman!

Keaton? I like Keaton... he was good in Batman, and was pretty good in Robocop.

Ben Affleck is not that convincing as an action hero. He works as Batman because of the mask, but as a regular himself, meh.

Billy Dee Williams played Harvey Dent in the original 1989 film.  I'd love to see him join the Predator franchise. 

It would also be cool to see Danny Devito take on a Predator since he was the Penguin in Batman Returns (1992).

Yeah he's not intense enough to be a hardass, or charismatic enough to be a badass.

The most likely candidate would be Val Kilmer since he worked with Shane Black on Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

So it's going to be The Batman vs The Predator? Makes sense.

Yeah, that'd be a good shout. What is he up to at the minute? His recent films on IMDB are all completed or in post.

:laugh: I so want this. Have the Predator growl "You ever dance with the Devil by the pale moonlight?" back to him.

Maybe Kevin Conroy is voicing the Predator :D

I'm not sure. There were rumours he had throat cancer and judging by some tabloid snaps from about a year ago he was looking very thin and sickly.
He's looking much healthier now thankfully so maybe he's back acting.

So apparently this went nowhere -

Quote@TheInSneider Is the actor who "may or may not have played Batman" still up for The Predator?

@blahokblahwhat Nope. Heard Affleck & BCoops passed. I think they'd love Hardy or Bale. I just want Jon Bernthal...

I guess they don't have to wait for September then, since it doesn't matter for Afffleck to clear his schedule anymore.

There is other stuff to be planned though, Pre-Production, concepts, getting the suits right, getting locations, set construction, hotels booked for a couple of hundred people... starting a production is not that simple, actors schedules is just one of so many things that have to be prepared.

What if every cool actor Shane had in mind rejects the movie and he's left with nothing but unknown low class actors?

Why did Affleck decline after all? What if the script is so bad he didn't want to be a part of it?

Oh no!
Title: Re: Rumor: Former Batman actor to star in The Predator?
Post by: HuDaFuK on Jun 08, 2016, 11:20:02 AM
A Predator movie is hardly the kind of thing Affleck typically does, I wouldn't worry too much.
Title: Re: Rumor: Former Batman actor to star in The Predator?
Post by: Johnny Handsome on Jun 08, 2016, 11:39:32 AM
I wouldn't worry about Affleck too much, Bradley Cooper would have been cool though.

We'll see, it's Shane Black after all, he'll get the right actors.

Sure he might as well bring back Adrian Brody if he's going this casting route.

Or Russell bladdy Crowe!

Honestly, Russell Crowe would actually be a great choice for a Predator movie in my opinion.
