LA Times: scene from ‘The Predator’ pulled because of registered sex offender actor.

Twentieth Century Fox was just days away from locking picture on “The Predator” when an urgent note came in: Delete the scene featuring Steven Wilder Striegel.

Striegel, 47, didn’t have a big role in his longtime friend Shane Black’s reboot of the sci-fi thriller — just a three-page scene shared with actress Olivia Munn.

But last month, Munn learned that Striegel is a registered sex offender who pleaded guilty in 2010 after facing allegations that he attempted to lure a 14-year-old female into a sexual relationship via the internet. When Munn shared the information with Fox on Aug. 15, studio executives quickly decided to excise him from the movie.

    Back to the movie…….
    I just saw the preview for this film. It looks like a remake of Arnolds movie Predator.
    The movie is rated R; which means kids cant go see it (unless parents are stupid enough to bring their kids to a blood, guts and gore movie) NO MINORS !!!!

    So, Why did they pull this guy from the movie? Oh…. He is a “sex offender”—- we cant have that—– But its ok to take our kids to a slasher movie, where violence, adult language, adult content abound.

    Is the Hollywood Liberal Movement actually that stupid??
