Regular readers around here will know that I've been following this film for a while with great ineterest. The meshing of sensibilities of those involved with product and the promise of geekdom and a close match to Aliens has got a few people's attention. Well now we hear that Oscar winner Adrien Brody has sought out and fought for the part of the lead (and head of the films main team of marines-alikes). Joining him and the already announced Danny Trejo will be Alice Braga (me neither), Oleg Taktarov (a body builder apparently), Mahershalalhashbaz Ali (thank you copy/paste!), Louiz Ozawa and t.v star Walt Goggins. Interesting, not sure how they'll gel as a team but I'm hopeful. Bloody-Disgusting also report that Derek "Jason Voorhees" Mears could be on board but in what capacity remains unknown. And The Hollywood Reporter says Topher "Venom" Grace is in negotiations. Much thanks must go to AICN who broke this story and the other sources mentioned for clarifications.

All I can say is that no good will come of this film. Adrien Brody and Danny Trejo? WTF? Also, for the record, Taktarov is a former mixed martial arts fighter - no idea he had any acting pedigree. I'm not expecting anything good to come of this!
