Jake Busey Follows in His Dad's Footsteps and Joins THE PREDATOR
Jake Busey, son of Gary Busey, is the latest addition to the cast of Shane Black's The Predator. Busey has a long list of films he's been a part of including The Frighteners and Starship Troopers. There's no information on who he'll be playing in the film, but it's interesting to note that Jake's dad Gary starred in the 1990 film Predator 2, so it seems as though Jake is following in his dad's footsteps.
I don't think there will be any connection as far as the story is concerned, but we'll see. The only aspect of the story that we really know involves Tremblay's character, who is "a troubled boy who is accidentally drawn into the conflict with the fierce alien creatures by his father," who is played by Holbrook. We also know that the film will have a fresh new perspective and that it's going to give us something that we aren't expecting.
Busey will join the previously cast Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, Trevante Rhodes, Boyd Holbrook, Keegan-Michael Key, Augusto Aguilera. Olivia Munn, Jacob Tremblay, Yvonne Strahovski, and Sterling K. Brown.
The Predator will be released in theaters in February 2018.
