‘The Predator’ Has More Humour Than Original Movie?

Apparently the new Predator movie is going to be somewhat different, or actually ‘very’ different according to Sterling K. Brown.

Speaking with EW about his role this week, Brown says the tone of this likely R-rated film will be more akin to a typical darkly comic Shane Black film than some might expect:

“Shane has his whole take on it and it’s very different than the original ‘Predator’. It’s got a really wicked sense of humor to it, which I love about it. And it’s got a real camaraderie amongst the main characters that I think folks will be attracted to. That’s pretty much all I can say.

I’m a huge fan of Predator and, of course, everybody loves Jesse the Body [Ventura] and Arnold [Schwarzenegger] and Carl Weathers and Bill Duke. My friends at Stanford used to tease me – being the dark-skinned African-American man that I am – they’d say, ‘Yo, man, you’re going to start getting all [those] Bill Duke roles when you get older.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t look anything like Bill Duke, you guys can kiss my ass.’

So then I booked this movie and I told them and they’re like, ‘Dude, do you even realize that you’re now Bill Duke???’ And I had to go tell them to kiss my ass all over again.”

This whole project is looking iffy, from the bad screenplay to… ‘interesting’ casting choices.
