Benicio Del Toro for 2018's 'The Predator'?
No plot details have been announced as of yet either for this new release from Fox entitled 'The Predator'. 'Guardians of the Galaxy' actor Benicio del Toro may lead the cast in this new tale, which has a script co-written by Fred Dekker ('Star Trek: Enterprise', 'Robocop 3'), and at the helm is Shane Black of 'Lethal Weapon' fame.
Black also had a cameo in the original 1987 'Predator' movie, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura as special forces soldiers who venture deep into the jungles of Central America to rescue a group of people held hostage by guerrilla insurgents, only to be hunted by a savage alien beast at the same time. It was originally directed by John McTiernan and produced by Lawrence Gordon, who will also join the new team of producers along with John Davis and Joel Silver.
