The Predator Starts Shooting, First Cast Picture Revealed
The Predator has started filming in Vancouver, with Iron Man 3 director Shane Black behind the camera for the latest part in the sci-fi action franchise. To mark the start of production, Black shared a cast picture on Twitter--check it out below:
The image shows Black with Sterling K. Brown (The People v. OJ Simpson), Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight), Boyd Holbrook (Narcos, Logan), Olivia Munn (X-Men: Apocalypse), Keegan-Michael Key (Keanu, Key & Peele), and 10-year-old Jacob Tremblay (Room).
Black also confirmed that the movie will have an R rating, tweeting: "And, just to be clear... PG-13 is for p***ies. Spines bleed... a lot."
In a recent interview, Holbrook explained that The Predator would be more than just another movie in the long-running franchise. "It's not a sequel," he said. "Shane has made something totally new. [It] somehow keeps within the realm of Predator [while also being] absolutely new in terms of the story that we're talking about today, and rooted in something real."
"It's real fresh. I don't think you're going to see [Arnold] Schwarzenegger. It would kind of make it a gimmick. It's horror, science-fiction, and a western."
Last year Black explained that The Predator would have a much larger scale than the previous films in the franchise. "I think the first one was great, and it was contained, and it was a perfect little gem for what it was. I think there's an expansion that needs to take place, and also just a love for that era, that movie, and the mythology of the Predator.
"I think that they came to me knowing pretty much that... they said, basically, if I wanted to make Predator but treat it like it was Iron Man 3 instead of just another little movie. I said, 'Let's really do it right this time.'"
The Predator hits theaters on March 2, 2018.
