‘The Predator’ Warns That “You’ll Never See Him Coming”
For much of last year we were teased with little snippets and news blurbs about a new Predator film from writer Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad) and director Shane Black (Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang). And since news broke at the end of November that Dekker was finished with his script, nothing new has emerged, leaving us wondering what’s going on with the universe’s deadliest hunter. Today, we might be getting a little taste of what’s to come…
The official Predator Facebook page posted the below image that shows the alien hunter along with the tagline, “You’ll never see him coming“. The photo was tagged with the description “Here we go again, bro.”, a reference to the original film. And as for the hunter himself, he looks battle-scarred and ready for action, sporting the infamous shoulder cannon that has caused many a headache.
Perhaps the most notable thing about this image however is that it potentially offers an official name for the upcoming film: The Predator.
While nothing is yet confirmed, it’s a strong indication that the film is moving in the right direction and hopefully we’ll be hearing a lot more about it in the coming months!
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
