The Predator is a 2018 American science-fiction action horror film directed by Shane Black (Iron Man 3) and co-written by Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad; Night of the Creeps). Shane Black was an uncredited script doctor on the 1987 Predator movie.
It is the fourth film in the Predator franchise, following Predator (1987), Predator 2 (1990) and Predators (2010). The new film is apparently a sequel and not a reboot and will be R-rated.
Specific plot details are sketchy but it seems that Olivia Munn plays a scientist, Trevante Rhodes and Boyd Holbrook are best buddy, ex-marines, and Jacob Tremblay’s character has a pivotal role due to his ability to learn languages.
The film stars Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown, Jacob Tremblay, Thomas Jane, Yvonne Strahovski, Alfie Allen, Augusto Aguilera and Jake Busey.
Principal filming began in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on February 20, 2017 and wrapped on the 2nd of June.
Although the release date has changed a couple of times already, The Predator is currently scheduled to be released on August 3, 2018, by 20th Century Fox in regular and IMAX cinemas.

The film’s fake working title was Ollie.
