Adrien Brody has admitted that fighting with a Predator in his new movie was a 'dream-like moment'
The Oscar winning actor takes on an all action role this summer as he leads the cast in Robert Rodriguez's Predators, which is directed by Nimrod Antal.
It's just one of many roles from the actor over the next few months, also starring in Splice and The Brothers Bloom, but he admits that coming face to face with a Predator was 'surreal'.
In an interview with iesb.net the actor said: "It's very exciting. I mean it's pretty bitchin'. [laughs] I mean, I was like sitting with this Predator on a totem pole and we're in this kind of horrific environment, the camp that we're shooting in.
"Once it's done up and things are burning and carcasses are hanging, it is hell. It is hell. I looked around, and I was like, wow, this is hell. This is what hell would look like.
"And I'm interacting with the Predator, you know. It was a dream-like moment, because it was so surreal that I was in this situation with something that I grew up with, you know? It had such a significance.
"And yet, in between shots, he was like, 'Are you alright, brother? Did I hurt you?' [laughs] He was choking me out and it's just funny, chit chatting with this monster with an articulating jaw.
"And what's beautiful is that we have something pretty scary to work off of. Sometimes you don't have that. They didn't really have that in the original.
"Half of that movie or two-thirds of that movie they didn't even know what the Predator was going to look like. They were winging it. I think then they changed it. It was going to be somebody else. You know that whole story.
Predators is released 22nd July.
