And this cast just keeps getting better.
Thomas Jane is certainly no stranger to the horror genre. He battled genetically-engineered sharks in Deep Blue Sea, massive creatures in The Mist, and more recently, one bigass bear in Into the Grizzly Maze. He’s also the star of Mike Flanagan’s Before I Wake, which hopefully comes out at some point soon. Up next, it looks like Jane will do battle with an iconic movie monster.
THR reports today that Jane is in final negotiations to join the quickly growing cast of director Shane Black’s The Predator, which has been described as both a reboot and a sequel to the original franchise. The impressive cast thus far includes Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown, Trevante Rhodes, Boyd Holbrook and Olivia Munn.
It’s been rumored that The Predator will take place in a suburban setting, but that rumor was recently shot down. At this time, we know next to nothing about the film.
Black wrote the script with Fred Dekker. A shooting start later this winter is being planned.
Fox has set a release date for The Predator for February 9th, 2018.
