Guest The Grand Pubah of 1620 Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 With an interesting script for Predator 3 circulating in Hollywood, the question has come up: who will play Schwarzenegger's character "Dutch" if the Austrian Oak becomes the governor of California? Another fit, muscle-bound celebrity is needed, and one name that has been suggested is The Rock, the wrestler-cum-actor who hit it big with The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King. Moviehole reports that according to Sam Park, The Rock is a leading contender for the role. Park, by the way, is the writer of Predator 3: The Deadlier of the Species, the script that seems like the best contender for a second Predator sequel. For his part, Park hopes to pitch his treatment to Fox soon. "I think [The Rock playing Dutch] is an excellent idea and could insure the franchise continuing on for many years – [fellow writer] Clay McBride and I have definite ideas for sequels with some bizarre twists for the Dutch character and the Predators that we believe will keep the franchise stories fresh and exciting for decades," Park told Moviehole. "Mind you I and Clay do not have any involvement with Fox in any way at this point. It's their franchise and characters to do with as they please. Hopefully we'll get a crack at presenting the Predator 3 story treatment to them soon." Of course, if Arnold doesn't succeed in his gubernatorial bid, he may just want in on Predator 3. We'll keep you posted! I just read this and am still alittle unsure. Once it has sunk in I might have more to say on the matter. Thoughts?
kkktookmybabyaway Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 I hope he doesn't tell the Predators, "It doesn't matter what planet you came from!"...
LaParkaYourCar Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Dutch wasn't even in Predator 2. Why are they bringing that character back? I have no problem with Rock, but if he's going to do the movie have him be a totally new character and not Dutch.
Guest El Satanico Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 I have no clue why they'd want to bring "Dutch" back if Ahnold isn't able to do it. There's no reason to bring the character back if Ahnold can't play the role.
eiker_ir Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 i agree, they should just have a new character if the Rock is gonna be the lead. and shit, i saw Predator 1 a few hours ago (just got it on DVD)!! "i have no time to bleed" hehe
MarvinisaLunatic Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 I think they should just give the role to Rocky and make it a different character.
Lil' Bitch Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 I thought the Rock was gonna do Spy Hunter or King Kameamea (sp?) once he was done with filming Walking Tall.
Guest El Satanico Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 I thought the Rock was gonna do Spy Hunter or King Kameamea (sp?) once he was done with filming Walking Tall. He can still do that. This project sounds at least a year away.
Guest Razor Roman Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 I thought the Rock was gonna do Spy Hunter or King Kameamea (sp?) once he was done with filming Walking Tall. Didn't they drop him from Kamehameha because he's not Hawiian and Hawiians were pissed that a Samoan was going to play him?
cabbageboy Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 I was about to say, why bring back Dutch? Predator 2 worked just fine with Danny Glover (even had a bit more suspense...there was never much doubt with Arnold). That said, the Rock vs. Predator would = money I think.
Guest Big_Jay101 Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 I heard on ET! The Rock's next movie was aboiut the Hawaiian King guy
justsoyouknow Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Do they think we won't notice that Dutch went from a big Austrian guy to a big Half-Black/Half-Samoan guy? New character.
Guest El Satanico Posted September 3, 2003 Report Posted September 3, 2003 Ahnold got a perm and a tan
