Like it or not, The Predator is happening. The cast is growing and there’s no going back. But, it’s in good hands, with Shane Black at the helm.
Keegan-Michael Key of “Key and Peele” fame was the latest announced to hunt the Predator alongside Moonlight‘s Trevante Rhodes, Boyd Holbrook and Olivia Munn (X-Men: Age of Apocalypse).
Added to the ensemble is Sterling K. Brown, who broke out massively in “The People v. O.J. Simpson”.
It was debunked recently that the story sees the popular stalker alien, first seen in the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger pic titled simply Predator, in an environment that audiences have not seen: the suburbs. Nobody knows what the sequel is about, although Schwarzenegger is rumored to return to his role.
Black is directing the project and 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.
