Some very interesting news has broken over at Deadline as they’re reporting that Benicio Del Toro (The Wolfman) is in early talks to join Shane Black’s The Predator. As of now, nothing has yet been confirmed.
Black is directing the film, which features a script by Fred Dekker. The two previously worked together on the 1987 children’s horror film The Monster Squad.
The last bits of news we heard was that James Franco might play the film’s lead, “Quinn McKenna”, as well as the securing of Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. as the special creature FX provider.
The Predator begins shooting later this month in Vancouver and is aiming for a February 9th, 2018 release date.
