‘The Predator’ Delayed, Targets Summer Success
Shane Black’s battle with The Predator just got significantly delayed. Twentieth Century Fox has shifted the release from its February 2018 slot all the way to August 3, 2018, a half year later than originally slated. An early August slot is a confident one, pulling it out of late winter release and putting it at the tail end of summer blockbusters. Many films perform well in August, implying this is a potential confidence booster.

Edward James Olmos recently joined the Predator cast, which includes Boyd Holbrook, Room breakout Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, Yvonne Strahovski and Olivia Munn. Jake Busey also has a role, following in his father’s footsteps.
The movie once again features unsuspecting humans who slowly realize that fierce hunter-aliens are in their midst, this time in what could be a suburban setting.
Black is directing from a script he co-wrote with Fred Dekker. Production is underway in Vancouver, Canad as of this writing.

Spider One (Bury the Bride, Little Bites) is back in the director’s chair for this year’s Big Baby, a meta slasher that sees Brandon Scott (Dead to Me) puppeteering slasher kills in our exclusive teaser debut.
Brainstorm Media will release the film on VOD on August 7, 2026.
In the upcoming slasher, “A nightmare involving a maniac killer in a baby mask serves as inspiration for horror screenwriter Adam Lewis’s new script. As more nightmares, visions, and real life terror begin to challenge Adam’s sanity, he finds himself in a desperate struggle to control his writing, his reality, and who will be Big Baby’s next victim.”
Watch the teaser below as Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier) falls prey to the Big Baby, but with a bloody meta twist.
Krsy Fox (Little Bites, Terrifier 3), Adam Marcinowski (Allegoria), Jordan Elsass (Little Fires Everywhere, Superman & Lois), Radek Lord (Ballers), Sierra McCormick (The Vast Of Night), Chaz Bono (American Horror Story), Kate Freund (Creepshow), Torio Van Grol, Cameron Cowperthwaite (Dahmer, Fallout), Kirby Bliss Blanton (The Green Inferno, Project X), and Nelson Leis (The Last Of Us, The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina) also star.
Written and directed by Spider One, Big Baby is executive produced by pop icon Cher, Chaz Bono, Tyler Connolly, Wendy Berry, and Terry Poor.
