50 Cent in The Predator?

[Corporal Hicks]

Your ass should've been busted to Private for that

I just never got around to it!

No, there was another one a little while back, too. I was going to comment on it but decided to let you off of the hook that time. Serious.

I don't have all the time in the world! 

Oh come on, understand that it is perfectly natural to have shit your pants upon hearing this news. However like all bugs it goes away in a day or so.

I can totally see why people are a little worked up about this, they think big Budget and Oscar performing actors, but the unbiased truth is, the guy really hasn't done that much in movies to really write him off as a bad choice for this kind of movie, and just because he's a rapper does in no way interfere him from giving a Performance that is needed for his role, whatever that may be.

I'm not criticizing anyone for not liking this, i'm not cheering yet about this either, but just a friendly reminder that this is a Franchise that always went for famous people and not necessarily the best available actors and it worked just fine... actually, the only time people yelled "MISCAST" was the only time they really got a good actor for the lead role... so much for that.

I think there's very much a stigma towards performers/musicians being actors. I've seen one person express happiness in this news. One person.

Oh yea it was Big Trouble in Little China. I mean really dude.

In fairness to Hicks, that's a pretty cult movie. It's not really one everyone should've seen.

[whiterabbit]

Yea and that was why I cut him some slack. Still it's something that he should have seen.

[Corporal Hicks]

I started watching it! But I kept getting distracted by the Internet so I paused it to come back to.

[whiterabbit]

Ok... but did you finish watching Die Hard? I remember you fell asleep during that one too. Why do I remember any of this...

[Corporal Hicks]

I'm just that interesting. 

Seriously though, let's get back on topic and less about iconic films I haven't seen. 

[RakaiThwei]

So he maybe involved... let's see what he's involved in.

Maybe the soundtrack as someone suggested. If that's the case, I maybe okay with that.

[XENOMORPHOSIS]

Hmm a part of me is really opposed to this, but maybe it could turn out good.

Ruben Blades in P2 was a singer. There's a thing I guess for the Predator movies that have a odd but good casting in the end.

Hmm a part of me is really opposed to this, but maybe it could turn out good.

Personally... I'm against the idea of him being in the movie entirely. I would've preferred Jamie Fox but that's just me.. HOWEVER... if Shane brings a storyline which I can appreciate and get behind, and concepts which I feel are more inline with the first two movies-- and ignores Rodriguez's movie, which I am hoping he does, then I'd be willing to overlook 50 Cent's involvement if he is on screen.

The guy was pretty good in Southpaw/escape plan, looking forward to seeing what he brings to the table

I'm just that interesting.

Okay, so...50 cent....yeah....not much to say here....so...50 cent....yeah..and..uhm....so he's a rapper...and...so his name is 50 cent and ..yeah....uhmmm... I'm sorry, I can't draw or even imagine a connection between the two. Well maybe he'll rap the predator to death? or they can compare financial sheets? uhm???.... LOL

[The Alien Predator]

Look on the bright side guys, this movie is only gonna cost 50 cents when it's out.

[HuDaFuK]

I would've preferred Jamie Fox but that's just me..

No way. I can't see him in a Predator movie at all.

[Ratchetcomand]

As I mention before, is 50 Cent still a thing today? I haven't seen him do anything big in a while.
