Martin Whist, Production Designer for J.J Abrams' Cloverfield as well as well as Sony's RoboCop reboot from 2014, will be acting Production Designer on Shane Black's The Predator as well!
With filming set to begin two months from now in Vancouver, casting remains tight-lipped at the moment, with rumors circulating that James Franco is currently eyeing the film's lead role of Quinn McKenna. Other potential casting rumors suggested both Ben Affleck and Christian Bale were once considered for the starring role, but neither jumped on board.
