DarknessAug 18, 2009, 07:11:52 PM Topic on: Aug 18, 2009, 07:11:52 PM 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.Link To Post

Space SweeperAug 19, 2009, 08:48:54 AM Reply #7 on: Aug 19, 2009, 08:48:54 AM 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?

blackhawkAug 19, 2009, 02:19:58 PM Reply #12 on: Aug 19, 2009, 02:19:58 PM 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.
