Whoopie as the Predator: Badlands?

I didn't realize that Whoopie Goldberg was starring in the new Predator movie! Apparently, the producers liked her so much when she played the original Predator with Arnold Schwarzenegger, that they signed her up again.
They realized they wouldn't have to spend crap-loads of money for makeup on her...she pretty much has that natural predator look.
What in the hell was Ted Danson thinking?
