The latest trailer for The Predator has arrived. This is the third promo for the upcoming sci-fi action reboot, and while some of the footage featured in the recent international trailer, there’s lots of new stuff in there too.
We get to see more of the mission to Mexico in which a squad of soldiers led by Quinn (Narcos and Logan star Boyd Holbrook) encounters the deadly alien creature, plus more dialogue from the squad of army convicts that he’s subsequently imprisoned with. Of course, there’s lots of Predator mayhem too, with more shots of the giant hybrid Predator teased in the most recent promo. Check it out above.
The Predator is directed by Shane Black, who previously helmed Iron Man 3 and the crime comedy The Nice Guys, as well as writing the original Lethal Weapon. It also stars Olivia Munn (X-Men: Apocalypse), Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight), Keegan-Michael Key (Keanu, Key & Peele), Sterling K. Brown (The People v. OJ Simpson), and Jacob Tremblay (Room). It releases on September 14.
In an recent interview with ScreenRant, Holbrook spoke about the tone of movie, and how it blends genres. “I think what we have here is kind of like a hybrid,” he said. “You’ll see a true reference to that once you see the film, and what’s going on with all of the Predators. It does play a little slower, maybe like a western, which would lend itself to that thrill factor. And then it’s the western in sci-fi, so I think that would build up to the scares.
“But also you have what Shane is really known for and is a master at, which is keeping a scene hinged on what’s rooted–my son, get my son back, I need to save him–and then carving out these comedic moments.”
