Fox Shifts a Lot of Movie Release Dates, Including ‘The Predator’
Fox has apparently looked at their calendar, decided they didn’t like what they were seeing, and shifted a lot of their titles around as well as announced specific release dates for others. For example, the Robert Rodriguez-directed anime-to-live-action adaptation of Alita: Battle Angel, which is being produced by James Cameron (The Terminator), has been locked in for a July 20th, 2018 premiere, which puts it one week before James Wan’s Aquaman.
For those who are excited for Shane Black’s The Predator, your wait has just been shortened…by a month. Instead of releasing on March 2nd, 2018, the fourth film in the survival horror franchise will now be coming out on February 9th, 2018.
Additionally, Luke Scott’s Morgan, which is produced by his father Ridley Scott (Prometheus, Blade Runner, Alien), will be coming out on September 2nd.
These are three very different films yet each has a horror angle to them. Which one are you most excited for?

Keith C. Blackmore’s book series Mountain Man is headed to the screen, with Deadline reporting today that Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”) is on board to star in the film adaptation.
The actor will also produce the upcoming zombie movie.
“Mountain Man tells the story of Gus, a lonely post-apocalyptic survivor facing isolation and the ever-present specter of a zombie attack, who struggles with alcohol abuse and suicidal thoughts until he discovers another survivor, a captivating woman who poses another threat altogether.”
John Lee (False Positive) will direct Mountain Man from a script by Matt Deller.
“John is a brilliant creative mind. We’ve been looking for the right thing to do together since we filmed Pee Wee’s Big Holiday and it’s finally here,” 3:59’s Joe and Nick Manganiello told Deadline. “Very excited to get to work on such weird, wild project with him.”
Film Bridge International is launching sales on the project in Cannes.
Blackmore’s Mountain Man series features 7 books, the first one published in 2011.
