“You’ll never see him coming” The chilling first words of Shane Black’s new baby Predator. Well it turns out we might just see him after all as a release date has just been revealed for March 2nd 2018. It’s definitely happening.
It’s been a long time since the release of the first Predator in 1987, it’s a franchise with a history of horror that has a dedicated following. With the subsequent predator films released in 1990 and 2010 you could say that a fourth movie is long awaited. Rumors of a new addition to the franchise have been in the works since 2014. Yet after the disappointing receptions of the second and third films and the Alien vs Predator series, will a fourth film only wind up repeating a pattern?
Still, every franchise has its fans and the hype has only been growing since a teaser image was released on Predators Facebook page. “Here we go again bro”
The new movie is set to be written by Black who appeared in the original predator and Fred Dekker from Night of the Creeps. While Black has been the most verbal in terms of the new predator’s development things are still quiet on the gossip front. Not unexpected considering the wait ahead for the fans. Progress is still early so it may be a while before Black scatters more info.
