20 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies
8. The Predator
That ugly motherf***er is back, in what fans are hoping will finally be the sequel that does justice to John McTiernan's 1987 sci-fi action horror masterpiece. After taking a supporting role as perpetual joker Hawkins in the original, Shane Black directs and co-writes this new entry in the series; which, it has been emphasised, is most definitely a sequel and not a remake/reboot.
Logan/Narcos actor Boyd Holbrook heads up the cast as a solider who learns of the existence of the extra-terrestrial, semi-invisible hunters. Naturally, carnage will ensue - and we shouldn't expect the film to hold back there, as reportedly Black made it a condition when he signed on to direct that the final film would be R-rated.
Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keagan-Michael Key and Sterling K Brown are among the supporting cast.
