Predator 3

quote

September 02, 2003 - With an interesting script for Predator 3 circulating in Hollywood, the question has come up: who will play Schwarzenegger's character "Dutch" if the Austrian Oak becomes the governor of California?

Another fit, muscle-bound celebrity is needed, and one name that has been suggested is The Rock, the wrestler-turned-actor who hit it big with The Mummy Returns and The Scorpion King. [Moviehole] reports that according to Sam Park, The Rock is a leading contender for the role. Park, by the way, is the writer of Predator 3: The Deadlier of the Species, the script that seems like the best contender for a second Predator sequel.

For his part, Park hopes to pitch his treatment to Fox soon. "I think [The Rock playing Dutch] is an excellent idea and could insure the franchise continuing on for many years – [fellow writer] Clay McBride and I have definite ideas for sequels with some bizarre twists for the Dutch character and the Predators that we believe will keep the franchise stories fresh and exciting for decades," Park told Moviehole. "Mind you I and Clay do not have any involvement with Fox in any way at this point. It's their franchise and characters to do with as they please. Hopefully we'll get a crack at presenting the Predator 3 story treatment to them soon."

Of course, if Arnold doesn't succeed in his gubernatorial bid, he may just want in on Predator 3.
