Derek Mears Cast in Robert Rodriguez's Predators

David Bell emailed in today to let us know that Derek Mears has been reportedly cast in the upcoming Predators remake that Robert Rodriquez is developing. No word on what role he will play but its a safe bet he will play a PREDATOR.

Robert Rodriquez talked to the fine cats at AICN some months back and spilled the beans on what the remake will be all about. Robert tells AICN;

I can't go too much into the story right now, because we're still writing. But it still involves a very intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors (that are not always from outside their group). So like the original movie, the title does have a double meaning.
Aliens was a different take on the Alien idea, and an original movie in it's own right, and that's what we want to do with this.

As to how this movie will be viewed, one of the guys at Fox told me "No one is ever going to talk about AVP again after this film, I will stake my life on it."And he's a really nice guy, so I don't want to see him dead. Now that lives are at stake, it's no longer a job it's a mission.Failure is not an option.

Since Robert is at the helm I think this will be one of those remakes that kicks a whole lot of ass and that I will love! What do you all think?
