THE PREDATOR Gets An Electrifying New Poster!
An official new poster has been revealed for Shane Black's upcoming film The Predator, and as you can see below, there's a reason I called it electrifying in the title of this post. It features formation of the predator's head in the form of a massive lightning bolt striking the center of a small city.
Details on the film are still relatively unknown, but there was a rumor that the film is partly set in suburbia, which could be true, judging by this poster. We also know that the movie will continue with the continuity of the first two Predator films, so it's not a full-on reboot. You can also expect it to be rated R.
I'm actually really excited about seeing how this turns out. I hope Shane Black can breathe life back into this franchise. When previously talking about the film, the director said:
"Fox has been in the habit of making one of these Predator movies every couple years, and they put them out for a limited budget that kind of guaranteed return, but they’re not really something that’s an event. I want to try to get back to that. Because there was a freshness, I think, to the first one… it was special then, and I want to get back to trying to reinvent it in the sort of way that it acquires that event feel that makes people want to treat it like a big movie.”
The cast includes Thomas Jane, Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes. Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Olivia Munn (X-Men: Apocalypse), Jacob Tremblay (Room), Yvonne Strahovski (Dexter), Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), Sterling K. Brown (The People vs. O.J. Simpson) and Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica).
The Predator will be released in theaters on February 9, 2018. To catch up on all of our news regarding The Predator, click here. The poster comes from 20th Century Fox' stand at the Brand Licencing Expo taking place in London.
