The Predator is not a reboot.
“It’s an attempt to do something — same world, same universe, just 30 years later,” explains Shane Black, the film’s director and writer.
The movie, which hits theaters on September 14, follows a group of military veterans, some suffering from PTSD, who must form a “Dirty Dozen”-like team to battle alien invaders.
The first film, 1987’s “Predator,” also focused on a team of soldiers battling a fearsome adversary, but that unit was led by Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura.
This one is dominated by Keegan-Michael Key, Boyd Holbrook and Sterling K. Brown, all of whom are better known for their acting chops.
