Shane Black urges fans to keep quiet as The Predator draws near

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Here's a friendly piece of advice: If you're ever lost in the woods, and hear something akin to a mountain lion's purring through a vocoder, it's best to slather yourself with cold mud and hide. It's an old trick I picked up from my buddy, Dutch, who knows a thing or two about taking out vicious warrior aliens from another planet. It's saved my bacon more than once, and I'm hoping that it will be of some use to you as well.

On Friday, director Shane Black shared a new image from the set of THE PREDATOR, which we've recently learned will be converted to 3D, and that a trailer for the movie is expected to drop soon. While details related to the upcoming sequel are thin at the moment, DEEP BLUE SEA actor Thomas Jane recently offered a bit of information about the characters to be featured in the film by saying the following: 

"We play these veterans from like Afghanistan, Iraq war or whatever. But we’re all fucking crazy so we go to the VA hospital to get our meds. We’re all like shell-shocked, PTSD…soldiers. We’re at the VA hospital and we’re in group therapy and of course, somebody flips out…this is backstory, I don’t think we really see this…somebody flips out and we all get arrested and get thrown onto the bus to go down to the hospital and they throw this other guy on the bus too.

And he’s a guy they’ve actually marked to kill him because he’s seen a UFO, he’s seen the Predator ships come down so they lock him up and throw him in with us lunatics. They’re going to take that bus, drive it down to a ditch and shoot us all just to get rid of this one guy. But, of course, we take the bus over and we’re all like “fuck that man, let’s go kill these fucking Predators ourselves” and we’re just crazy enough to believe that this guy really did see a UFO and there’s these aliens out there. So that’s kinda cool!"

Scheduled to arrive in theaters on September 14th, THE PREDATOR will feature the Jim and John Thomas-created extraterrestrial trophy hunter carving its way through an entirely new cast of actors who would undoubtedly make for great decoration around a Predator's woodland home. The eclectic list of actors set to appear in the action sci-fi horror includes, Thomas Jane, Yvonne Strahovski, Jacob Tremblay, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Jake Busey, Keegan Michael-Key, James Edward Olmos and more.

Remember, if it bleeds, we can kill it. THE PREDATOR is set to stalk theaters beginning on September 14th.
