Another Angle of ‘The Predator’ Hero Shot Ahead of the #SDCC
EW shares this new angle of the hero shot from The Predator in which Boyd Holbrook’s Quinn McKenna is held aloft by one of the film’s Predators.
In the sequel, “From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, 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 theaters September 14, 2018, the film stars Jacob Tremblay, Olivia Munn, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown, Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane, Augusto Aguilera, Edward James Olmos, Alfie Allen and Yvonne Strahovski. Jake Busey plays the son of Gary Busey’s Predator 2 character.
The Shane Black-directed film is one of several genre titles being highlighted at this week’s San Diego Comic-Con, which we’ll be covering live right here on Bloody.

‘Nightborn’ Trailer Teases a Monstrous Newborn in Shudder’s Horror Film from ‘Hatching’ Filmmaker
There’s something seriously wrong with the newborn in the first trailer for dark fable Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
Nightborn will make its premiere at Fantasia on July 22 before debuting on Shudder on July 31.
Motherhood appears to be a very violent, bloody affair in the below trailer and poster.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star in the film described as ” a visceral, gripping and terrifying dark fable about motherhood and unconditional maternal love.”
The cast also includes Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson.
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
Expect Nightborn to pull from Nordic folklore. Bergholm explained in a statement, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
