The Predatoris currently undergoing reshoots, with a teaser trailer set to drop online soon. Director Shane Black, who starred in the originalPredator, has been hard at work on the long-awaited sequel for quite some time. Fox recently delayed the release of the movie, which was supposed to come out in August but has been moved to September, which was in part to accommodate these reshoots. Now, writer Fred Dekker reveals that the reshoots are underway, while also promising that the teaser trailer is just around the corner.
“Hello, all. Currently in Vancouver shooting some touch-ups for our little movie. I can’t tell you what’s beyond this fence… except to say the body count is alarming. Thehunt begins July 29, 2025.”
He chimed in with a comment on his post adding, “And yes, a teaser trailer will be coming soon.“Reshoots are very regular practicethese days for big studio movies and shouldn’t necessarily be cause for concern. But situations vary.Rogue One: A Star Wars Storyhad to undergo very significant reshoots, but that movie ultimately turned out quite good. As forThe Predator? There were rumored reports of test screenings that didn’t go over so well and studios often use these test screenings to adjust the movie. It’s likely that Shane Black is going to address some of those concerns in these reshoots.
Olivia Munn, Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane, Augusto Aguilera, Edward James Olmos, Alfie Allen and Yvonne Strahovski star inThe Predator. While this mostly serves as a reboot of the franchise, Jake Busey will be playing the son of his father Gary Busey’sPredator 2character in this movie, providing someconnective tissue to the rest of the franchise. Sadly, as far as we know, Arnold Schwarzenegger won’t be making a cameo, unless Shane Black somehow manages to sneak him in during these reshoots.
It’s been quite some time since we’ve seena good Predator movie. Many would argue there hasn’t been a downright good once since the original, but it’s a franchise with a lot of potential. We just need someone to bring that potential to the big screen. Shane Black is a great director and maybe he can breathe some new life into it withThe Predator. Fingers crossed.
