Directed by Shane Black, the new tale of The Predator arrives from outer reaches of space and lands in the small-town streets of suburbia. Though it appears innocent, Black brings a different twist this time compared to the original starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The hunt comes home with children and parents. The most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter, and deadlier than ever before. They have genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species.
In the movie trailer, it shows a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth. Who is going to save the day this time? A ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher will join forces to save the end of the human race.
The ensemble cast includes Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Alfie Allen, Thomas Jane, Augusto Aguilera, Jake Busey, and Yvonne Strahovski.
The movie is streaming and is available on Blu-ray and DVD if you didn’t get a chance to see the film in the theaters, now you can.
The red band trailer tells more of the story. It appears a human male transforms into a predator. So, he is half human and half predator. What does that mean? The red band label is because one of the male characters says something raunchy.
The latest poster is so wicked with a sophisticated touch. The orange background flourishes with spicy motives. The predator’s hand on a predator’s head with a spine is clockwork orange expression. Kubrick would be proud.
Shane Black is legendary for screenwriting the top scripts for movies like Lethal Weapon, The Long Kiss Goodbye, and The Last Boy Scout. In an interview with Robert Downey, Jr., Downey praised Black’s work on Iron Man 3.
