Fishburne joins Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Walt Goggins, Danny Trejo and Oleg Taktarov.
In November, Antal revealed that the new Predators will maintain some parts of the original movies: “…we are trying to stay with the original as far as the monster and the atmosphere and the tone of the film, but we are trying to do something new and contemporary and feels fresh,” he says.
Predators arrives in theaters on July 9, 2010.

It makes sense that Nimrod Antal would cast one of the stars of his Armored film to be part of the ensemble cast that is Predators. The cast is shaping up as it has 2 Academy Award winning actors in it, never thought I’d say that about a Predators film. Fishbourne joins Adrien Brody in the film. Aliens aren’t new to Fishbourne as he battled the non-corporeal kind in Event Horizon.
Fishburne, has been cast in a pivotal role in the upcoming re-boot. The actor, who is best known for his work in films such as The Matrix series, Apocalypse Now and Deep Cover, and is currently starring in CBS’s mega-hit series, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
He will be playing the role of Noland, details on the character are unknown but he did begin working on the film this week in Austin, Texas at producer Robert Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios.

Robert Rodriguez's "Predators" hits AMC Theatres in July 2010. Already, we know that Adrien Brody and Topher Grace have been cast in the film, with some fans questioning if either actor has the toughness to take on some nasty aliens.
Well, have no fear: Laurence Fishburne Aka Cowboy Curtis, Aka Morpheus from "The Matrix," Aka professional badass has joined the project!
No details about his character have been revealed, other than that his name is Noland. Frankly, we're happy to see Fishburne take on any role in film -- but we especially love to see him fight monsters!

Editor's note: This story ran yesterday, but it had to be pulled for a variety of reasons. It's back now. Fishburne's in the movie. It's gonna be cool.
What could possibly make producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimrod Antal's "Predators" any cooler? For a start, they could send Morpheus after the four-jawed creatures... and thankfully, that's exactly what they're doing.
Almost exactly, at least, as Bloody Disgusting has learned that Laurence Fishburne is plugging out of "The Matrix" (or stepping out of the "CSI" crime lab, if you'd prefer) to join the fight against the "Predators," the third installment in the much beloved franchise, if you're not counting the significantly less beloved "Aliens vs. Predators" movies.
Fishburne will play a character named Noland, though no other details about the role are available yet. The actor will film his part at Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas, where the movie is

Robert Rodriguez’s Predators is currently filming in Austin, Texas and Bloody-Disgusting was on set yesterday and learned of another casting addition that they’re allowed to share: Laurence Fishburne.
Fishburne is most recognizable from his role as Morpheus in The Matrix trilogy and can currently be seen on CSI as well as in the film Armored, which is currently in theaters.
In Predators, we know only that his character is named Noland and that he is a member of the group of humans stranded on the Predator homeworld, fighting for survival.

If you’re a fan of Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) and the Predator franchise, I’m about to tell you some awesome news. That’s because I’m in Austin right now, as I got to spend all day on the set of director Nimród Antal’s Predators movie - along with a number of other online journalists. While I can’t tell you anything about what I saw or thought of the movie until my embargo lifts, I’m allowed to report Laurence Fishburne has just joined the cast and he’s playing a character named Noland.
While I would really like to tell you a lot more…since Predators doesn’t get released until next July, it’s going to be awhile before you can read my set report. Saying that, here’s the synopsis that’s on IMDb:

This decade’s film: 2000-2004

Pottermania, Tolkein-mania, Twilight-mania…it’s fair to say that the noughties have been a strong one for different kinds of mania. Moreover, it’s also been the time for some pretty awesome movies.
2000 marked a particularly promising start: American Beauty, the directorial debut from Sam Mendes was a unique critique on the American dream that attracted widespread acclaim, being nominated for 8 Academy Awards and winning 5; including Best Picture. His next project, Road to Perdition proved this success to be no fluke. Apparently this was a good time for new directors, as further evidenced by Sofia Coppola’s The Virgin Suicides, and Spike Jonze’s Being John Malkovich.
Not that the decade was limited to low-budget concept flicks. Box office-smashing comic book adaptations became the name of the game; ranging from the great (Spider-Man, X-Men and Hellboy), to the not so much (Daredevil and Fantastic Four). It became (almost) socially acceptable

Pee-wee Herman creator Paul Reubens wants ‘Playhouse’ movie, reintroduce character to new generation

Peace, love, jobs, forget all that stuff. What the world needs now, is Pee-wee, sweet Pee-wee.
In a recent interview with the AP, Paul Reubens, better known as Pee-wee Herman, talked about his plans to reintroduce his iconic character back into society. His first step? His live stage show The Pee-Wee Herman Show. His second step? A feature-length film:
“Well, you know, I really want to make a movie version of The Playhouse, my Saturday morning kid show. [The live show] seemed like a great way to do it: Reintroduce it, get back out there, introduce Pee-wee to the new generation that didn’t know about it,” he said.
His Saturday morning TV show, Pee-wee’s Playhouse, was canned in 1991 when Reubens was arrested for indecent exposure.
The Pee-wee Herman Show will run at the Club Nokia theater in Los Angeles from January 12th to February 7th. It will feature 20 puppets, along with many original cast members,

Stop Calling Them the Wachowski Brothers!

Arianna Huffington's Twitter feed got a lot of eyes a-poppin' yesterday with her mysterious Tweets about being a part of the next movie from the Wachowski siblings, as well as some very cool Twitpics of her in costume, on set, and with directors Andy and Lana Wachowski. Film sites are buzzing about the project, but unfortunately not all of them have stopped calling the duo the Wachowski Brothers, which aggravates me to no end because Lana is a woman.
As almost every article is quick to point out, Lana was "originally" Larry; a few years after the two gained notice for their futuristic blockbuster The Matrix, rumors were flying about why the two were so reclusive. Then Lana came out as a woman, even holding a press conference for the official announcement, which is truly awesome. And while it's not a shocker than fanboys can't resist taking potshots at

Ever since completing the Matrix trilogy in 2003, Andy Wachowski and Larry Wachowski have directed only one movie (last year's Speed Racer), leaving many to wonder when they'd next get behind the camera. Ariana Huffington, of all people, may have given us an answer.
The co-founder and editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post posted some photos on her Twitter account yesterday (along with some tweets) suggesting that she's involved in a new feature movie from the Wachowskis.
The tweets indicate that the movie will be a look at the current war in Iraq from the vantage point of a futuristic society. Check the twitpic photos to see more of Huffington's wild hairdo.

No Playhouse For Busy Fishburne

Laurence Fishburne has been ruled out of old pal Paul Reubens' upcoming Pee-wee's Playhouse comeback - because he's too busy playing a TV forensics expert.
The Matrix star landed his big break playing singing cowboy Curtis on Reubens' wacky 1980s TV show, but he won't be reprising the role onstage, when the funnyman revamps his most famous character, Pee-Wee Herman.
Fishburne explains, "He's (Reubens) really sweet. I got this call from him; he was like, 'Fish, I didn't want you to hear it on the street that I'm doing the show and I had to have a Cowboy Curtis... I'm going to hire another guy to do it.'
"He realised that because of my commitment to CSI, I wasn't going to allow me to come and do the show. I said, 'Fine, that's cool, go with God.'"
But the actor insists he wants to be part of a planned Pee-Wee's Playhouse movie: "If he can get the money together to make another Pee-Wee movie, I will absolutely suit up, put on the jheri-curl, get the guitar... I love him, he's the real deal."
