Although Predators has been in production for a few weeks now, a new cast member has just joined the film in the form of Matrix star Laurence Fishburne. Collider reports that he’s signed up to play a character named Noland, although unfortunately they’re restricted by an embargo from saying who Noland is or what he does in the film. To be honest though, with Fishburne’s schedule on CSI, we can’t imagine it’s a particularly huge part.
Firshburned will join Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo, Alice Braga, Derek Mears, Walton Goggins and Oleg Taktarov in the movie, which sees the merciless aliens known as Predators assembling a group of elite human warriors on their home planet so that they can hunt them. The film is being directed by Nimrod Antal, who recently worked with Fishburne on Armored.
With Fishburne turning up, maybe he’ll be able to use his Matrix powers to sort out the alien foe. Predators, which a a welcome return to the bif screen for the vicious creatures after spending several years being …Vs Aliens, is due in cinemas next July.
