A very interesting rumor has hit the web via AITH this evening as they report that Derek Mears - who you might know as the new Jason Voorhees - is a potential candidate to take on a role in 20th Century Fox's Predators, their reboot of the Predator franchise being produced by Robert Rodriguez and his Troublemaker Studios. While on the red carpet of Drag Me to Hell he was baited into spilling the bean, he simply replied, "Yeah, it would be awesome." Watch this spot for any confirmation as it comes in. The question remains, would he be a predator or one of the kickass big men with even bigger guns? What do you think?

I don't know Ian Whyte has done a great job in the avp movies, though I think the movies sucked he played the predator very well, I hope they dont stray from the original predator design too much

doesnt need much make up either, so they can put more cash into making a semi decent film unlike the avp attemps. take 2 of the greatest movie killers of all times yet still managed to fuck it up beyond belief, now that takes real skill

I think that'd be awesome as long as he can still manage to be Jason in a friday sequel.

i have NO doubt (and PLATINUM DUNES while effed in the brain and somewhat clueless at times wouldn't/SHOULDN'T dare make it without him!) that Derek will return for the FRIDAY sequel! he was the BEST Jason we've had since PART 4's TED WHITE! Derek is AWESOME! Derek if you read this, PLEASE ask the FRIDAY filmmakers to make the next FRIDAY gorier/bloody (like in the MBV3D remake!).

i agree..he was awesome as jason..i loved that movie. MBV3D was weak aside from the 3D in my opinion compared to F13.

Sure he would be ok in it but I feel like if this is true he is gonna be the Mac character. If this becomes a straight remake I would like to see the Rock in Arnolds character.

Yea, Derek Mears is such a nice guy. He was absolutely amazing as Jason, hope he is in this movie too.

Lame. I hate the giant Predator trend. Predators are hunters and should look as such, not giant alien football players.

I don't know about him being the Predator...I think he's not tall enough for the role, the Predator needs to be really tall... (I'm not saying Derek is short however, just to get things straight!)

Derek as one of the soldiers would be cool as well.

Werd5150 you liked the F13th remake better than the MBV remake? why? ha the my bloody valentine remake was so much better, it was definitely a fun watch, F13th remake was okay...it brought nothing new to the table and the ending was so unclimactic that the screeen shut off during the part where jason miraculously burst through the boards of the dock with his hockey mask on (he should have been unmasked in this scene) and instead of waiting for the theatre people to fix the problem, I just left it was a waste of a good chance to remake a good film...Derek as one of the predators could be cool but I'm still not liking the fact that there are more than one predator in this...why?

Id rather have him doing this than another fucking friday the 13th remake, I hope the idea of a part 2 is canned. Course I dont see why we even need a predator reboot. We got a planet full of predators and our entire world, why reboot it when they can just bring down more predators and do a entirely new project someplace else?

Agree with all of the comments on Derek being nice. Couldn't be a more down to earth person, him and his wife. I would rather see him play a soldier/commando taking on the Predator/s. Not only because I think he'd be great at it but because it'd be great for his career to have millions of people actually see that it's him behind the mask and be able to put a face to these characters. Because let's be honest, the run of the mill fan wouldn't' be able to pick him out in a crowd because they haven't actually seen him in a big budget flick. So let the man do a little more acting and see if we can give him an even bigger boost

Derek would make a great predator. between this and the friday the 13th sequel(to the reboot) derek's gonna be a busy guy. hope it all works through!
