Adrien Brody -- Classic or Dud? Search & Destroy

Very fuckin' kool.

Dude, he's hot.

I watched part of the 'scars in a bar waiting for a Songs: Ohia show. The other TV was tuned to war coverage on CBS. The world is so strange.

go to the shouting at books thread

'Are you kidding? Is Adrien Brody our next action hero?'

Though I was boggling more at the photo with it:

this guy has always hovered on the cliff's edge of Not Atractive and Fugly, and he's finally fallen off.

Good in The Pianist, crap in everything else I've seen him in.

Hollywood’s lining up to be hunted!

Adrien Brody is boarding to star in "Robert Rodriguez's Predators," Fox’s reboot of the sci-fi franchise being directed by Nimrod Antal. Rodriguez is producing with Elizabeth Avellan.

Topher Grace is in negotiations to join the action-adventure movie, to which Alice Braga ("I Am Legend"), Mahershalalhashbaz Ali ("The 4400"), Walt Goggins ("The Shield"), Rodriguez mainstay Danny Trejo and UFC fighter Oleg Taktarov have also been cast.

Written by Rodriguez, Alex Litvak and Michael Finch, the script follows a group of elite warrior-types who are being hunted by members of a race of merciless alien trackers called Predators.

Brody is a man who ends up inheriting the mantle of leader and is known as a hunter of men. Grace would play an accountant-type whose unassuming facade masks a dangerous serial killer.

Braga is the tough female killer. Ali is a man not afraid to die, Goggins is the loose canon of the group and Taktarov is a former Russian special ops agent.

Trejo, already cast, is Cuchillo, a hardened warrior with twin uzis strapped to his back.

Shooting begins next month in Hawaii then moves to moves to Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin. The movie is slated for a July 9, 2010, release.

Brody was last seen in Dario Argento’s “Giallo” and next voices the character of Rickity in Wes Anderson’s “The Fantastic Mr. Fox.” Grace will next be seen in New Line's ensemble romantic comedy "Valentine's Day."

um I would like to see this.

Just passed me on 6th Ave looking very natty in gray and black suit. Also I just panned his new Tony (American History X) Kaye teacher movie Detachment. Man, does it stink.

tony kaye has a new movie??

Was he flanked by Andre 3000 and Gael Garcia Bernal?

against all odds, yes (tho it took a year to get released) xp

may be awhile before the next

Liked The Brutalist, but thought the last half-hour was kind of conventional. Strange last shot and end-credit music.

Cut that 30 minutes in half: the time-lapse sequence after the big confrontation was one of my favourite parts of the film--thought some of the score was great--and that was maybe 20 or 25 minutes out from the end.

He's in a commercial for TurboTax where he makes fun of himself. Normally I wouldn't care or post about something like that, but if anybody could benefit from a little self-deprecation (thinking back to that unbearably pompous speech he gave at the AA a couple of years ago), he's at the top of the list, so good for him.

when that commercial came on my kids said "hey that's Brodyquest!!" which was a real proud dad moment for me

I don't think it even occurred to them that he was an actor, he sure as shit ain't gonna show up in anything they would watch, they must've thought he was just some dude
