Things have quietly been moving forward on Robert Rodriguez's Predators with Nimrod Antal directing. Although 20th Century Fox has already set a release date for July 7, 2010, there hasn't been much casting news except for the ubiquitous Danny Trejo as someone named "Cuchillo." That is, until now.

ComingSoon.net has heard word that one of Rodriguez's cast will be none other than Walton Goggins, star of the FX series "The Shield."

Unfortunately, we do not have any information yet on which role he might be playing, but we'll update the story as we receive confirmation. Either way, we can probably except there to be a lot more cast announced for the anticipated reboot in the coming weeks.

If you're a fan of "The Shield"--and seriously, who isn't?--let us know how you feel about Detective Shane Vendrell trading the L.A. drugdealers for a bunch of killer Predators.
