Buzz Behind the Scenes
FIRST LOOK AT THE PREDATOR: The first thing fans hear in the new trailer for Shane Black‘s The Predator sounds pretty ominous: “Tell me about the mission – did you see anything unusual?” The logline for the film: “From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.” 20thCentury Fox sends The Predator skulking into theaters September 14th. Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay, Olivia Munn and Keegan-Michael Key are among the star-studded cast. (Deadline – Click our Twitter or Facebook buttons to share this link!)
