Director of Photography Larry Fong has been tapped to act as the cinematographer for Shane Black’s The Predator, according to SlashFilm. Fong has been the DP for many of Zack Snyder’s films, including 300, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch as well as J.J. Abrams’ Super 8. However, the work of his that most people are excited about is the upcoming adventure monster film Kong: Skull Island.
Black’s The Predator is the upcoming sequel to the franchise that began back in 1987 and has since had two direct sequels. Recently, Olivia Munn joined the cast, apparently as a scientist. Meanwhile, the lead is being played by Boyd Holbrook, who is one of the main stars of Netflix’s “Narcos”.
Black is directing from a script by Fred Dekker. John Davis, Joel Silver, and Lawrence Gordon — who produced the original — are producing with hopes to begin shooting next year.
Fox has set a release date for The Predator for February 9th, 2018.
