The makers of the Hollywood blockbuster film “Predator” have confirmed reports that Browns’ standout Joshua Cribbs will play the lead role in the latest installment of the series. The title of the movie has yet to be determined, but a publicist for the project said the filming of the $140 million production is on track to begin in March of 2010. That was despite Cribbs telling reporters in Cleveland that he was yet to commit to the project. Director John Schultz said Cribbs was a natural choice for the role. “Let’s face it, the dude looks just like Predator, minus the helmet of course. He’s got dreadlocks, and he hunts people down just like the villain in the original picture.” When asked if Cribbs’ lack of acting experience was a concern, Schultz replied, “He’s the scariest S.O.B. on this team, and you know it. Hell no I’m not concerned! It’s nothing a little CGI and makeup can’t fix.” Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage has been slated to play the Cribbs’ father in the film, and Fran Drescher will play opposite Cage as his mother. I’m not exactly sure why.
