Yeah Jake Busey and Thomas Jane give this movie a real B-movie flavor, but Shane will elevate it.
The truth is, it was a hard sell for all of the actors Shane wanted because Predator is not seen as a cool property. I think... I think... That after this movie turns out to be a pleasant surprise, that it'll be easier to get ACTOR actors for the next one. Heck, even a cast on the level of the new Kong movie's. Predators maybe moved the mark one rung up, but that's hardly enough goodwill to make up for three absolute calamitous misfires. I mean... AvP:R is one of thee worst movies that's ever been put to celluloid. Breathtaking.
The only actor that truly, truly had an intractable schedule was Bradley Cooper who is not available for anything until 8-2017.
