Jake Busey Following in Dad’s Footsteps By Starring in ‘The Predator’
Like father, like son.
Deadline is reporting today that Jake Busey has just been cast in Shane Black’s The Predator. It’s of course interesting to note that Busey’s father, Gary Busey, was the star of the 1990 film Predator 2. To make this even more interesting, perhaps even fateful, Gary Busey was 45 years old at the time Predator 2 was shot. Jake Busey’s current age? Yup. 45 years old!
No character details are available at this time, and we’re thinking it’d be fairly silly to suggest that Jake will be playing the son of his dad’s character, Peter Keyes. But you never know!
Sterling K. Brown, Jacob Tremblay, Yvonne Strahovski, Olivia Munn, Alfie Allen, Keegan-Michael Key, Thomas Jane, Augusto Aguilera, Boyd Holbrook, and Trevante Rhodes also star.
Strahovski was cast as the mother to Tremblay’s character, a troubled young boy accidentally drawn into the conflict with the fierce alien creatures by her ex-husband, played by Holbrook.
Little else is know about the film, which *may* be set in the suburbs and *may* feature a 10-foot-tall, genetically-enhanced Predator. Neither of those things have been confirmed.
Black co-wrote the script with Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad).
The Predator arrives on February 9, 2018.
If you’ve been to your local movie theater in the last several weeks you might’ve seen a trailer for Longlegs that was longer than the ones we’ve been getting online, with the latest trailer for NEON’s new horror movie being split into two parts here on the internet. But that full theatrical trailer, which had been exclusively playing in theaters, is now available online.
Longlegs heads to theaters on July 12, 2024. Watch the full trailer below.
The upcoming serial killer horror movie marks the return of director Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel). Nicolas Cage stars alongside Maika Monroe, with Monroe playing an FBI agent and Cage playing a serial killer.
Longlegs is said to be “in the vein of classic Hollywood psychological thrillers.”
In the film, “FBI Agent Lee Harker (Monroe) is a gifted new recruit assigned to the unsolved case of an elusive serial killer (Cage). As the case takes complex turns, unearthing evidence of the occult, Harker discovers a personal connection to the merciless killer and must race against time to stop him before he claims the lives of another innocent family.”
Alicia Witt (“The Walking Dead”) and Blair Underwood (“American Crime Story”) also star.
The film is rated “R” for “Bloody violence, disturbing images and some language.”
Producers are Nicolas Cage along with his production company Saturn Films (The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Pig), Dan Kagan (Significant Other), Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (Insidious), Dave Caplan (The End We Start From) and Chris Ferguson (Child’s Play).
The theatrical cut of the “Dirty” and “Sweet” teasers for ‘LONGLEGS’ has debuted online.
