Brody becomes the prey in new Predator movie

Slender actor Adrien Brody will be stepping into Arnold Schwarzenegger's musclebound role in the new Predator movie.

Director Robert Rodriguez is rebooting the sci-fi movie franchise, which saw the now California governor battle a killer alien in the 1987 original.

Now, Oscar-winner Brody is set to take on a pack of the dreadlocked extra-terrestrials in the franchise's latest outing, which is set to hit cinemas in July 2010.

The Pianist star will play the leader of a fearless band of warriors, who are being hunted by the bloodthirsty Predators.

The monster has previously featured in a 1990 sequel, starring Danny Glover, as well as two spin-offs from the Alien films, 2004's Alien vs. Predator and 2007's Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem.
