We have already seen the new mask, the upgraded Predator creature, we know its a little boy who makes the interstellar hunters come back to our little planet and we know The Predator (2018) is rated R for strong bloody violence, language throughout, and crude sexual references. What else is left? Well, only to wait for 2 more weeks until it finally comes out!
As many will know, the movie is a direct follow-up from the originals Predator (1987), starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Predator 2 (1990), starring Danny Glover. Shane Black has directed and co-writer together with Fred Dekker the movie. Yvonne Strahovski, Olivia Munn, Lochlyn Munro, Jacob Tremblay, Sterling K. Brown, Thomas Jane, Boyd Holbrook, Keegan-Michael Key, Edward James Olmos and Jake Busey star.
In this new entry of the horror and science-fiction saga, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race. In fact, the headline “the hunt has evolved” used on the new poster for the movie has more sense than ever.
Director Shane Black has been a renowned scriptwriter since the late 1980s when he penned the texts for some of the most iconic titles of the end of the last century. Lethal Weapon (1987), The Monster Squad (1987), The Last Boy Scout (1991), Last Action Hero (1993) and The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996) are only some of the films he has written. As a director, he has shown his talent for good storytelling in titles like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) and The Nice Guys (2016), and with Iron Man 3 (2013) he finally took the step to be in charge of huge Hollywood blockbusters. The Predator (2018) is anticipatedly the most violent and adult movie he has worked on, and a lot of expectations rely on it.
September the 12th is the day The Predator (2018) finally comes out. And here is its final trailer and exciting:
