I’m going to throw a wild a shot in the dark here, but if it’s going to be as R rated as some have been quoted saying, then I bet all three of these characters get caught in the middle of the battle in question, and meet their untimely and (hopefully) horrorific deaths. Or at least, I hope they do. Not that I have a grudge against any of these fine actors, but I need my body count, baby!
As long as it turns out a fraction better than Paul W.S. Anderson’s vision of the first VS, I’ll be one happy motorscooter. Though, to make me truly happy, they’d have to figure out a way to bring Lance Henriksen back into the picture. Now that would rock!
