For all you folks who were like "who?" when Nimrod Antal's name came out of the hat, here's one to stick in your pipe: Laurence Fishburne. Yes, Laurence frickin' Fishburne has joined the cast of Antal's Predators - surprising, until you remember that they just completed a project together (Armored).

Robert Rodriguez is still overseeing this as producer, which is a wonderful sign, but with Adrien Brody and Danny Trejo on board, Antal's efforts are quite clear on one thing: this is going to be seriously bad ass. After all, once that band of people land on Planet Predator, only to discover nasty crap going on, all hell and dreadlocks will no doubt break loose. After all, this is Laurence Fishburne we're talking about. Morpheus. Versus. Predator. Now that's how you restart a franchise.
