Hollywood is pissin me off

I have no idea what Wrestling Observer Newsletter is, but, according to them, WWE Superstar John Cena is set for the lead role – Major ‘Dutch’ Schaeffer – in a remake of 1987’s Arnold Schwazenegger flick, Predator. This follows a rumor a few months back reported on the great movie site Latino Review that original director John McTiernan had been offered the job to do a Predator remake or sequel. ‘Observer’ was the first to break the news about Cena’s lead role in the upcoming feature The Marine, so they may have some credibility here, and the emergence of the Rock as a viable leading man has some looking back to that same well for potential talent.


I think it was Bryan Adams who said, this double edged sword cuts like a knife. And that’s true here. John Cena is actually pretty cool. He looks like Matt Damon if Matt Damon did a ton of steroids. And nobody gets up from the F-U. Nobody. But this idea still sucks, because Predator is the greatest movie ever made. And I don’t mean it’s the greatest Arnold movie or the greatest alien monster movie, I mean, if I made a list of the greatest musicals where Julie Andrews takes a job as a nanny and teaches the von Trapps to love through song, Predator would still be number 1.
