“When a young boy accidentally triggers the universe’s most lethal hunters return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.”
Co-written and directed by Shane Black, the man who brought us Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3, and The Nice Guys, The Predator is the 4th film in the "Predator" franchise, and this time around a young boy inadvertently unleashes the most lethal hunters in the universe, and the force brought together to stop them is extremely outmatched. The very first Predator film released in 1987 when I was three years old, so these movies have a bit of a nostalgic feel for me. With Shane Black at the helm with a big budget and a talented cast, I have a lot of faith in the success of this film. The cast includes Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight), Jacob Tremblay (Room, Wonder), and Keegan Michael-Key (Keanu). Check out the official trailer below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, The Predator:
The film was originally conceived as a reboot of the "Predator" film franchise, until Shane Black came aboard and confirmed he would be making a sequel instead, as he wanted to continue to explore the "Predator" mythology.
After the success of Iron Man 3 (2013), Shane Black was approached by 20th Century Fox with an Iron Man 3 (2013)-sized budget to direct a new "Predator" movie, and he could not resist. He actually played the role of Hawkins in the original 1987 film.
