Updated: ‘The Predator’ Gets Super Shredder Synopsis

UPDATED:  If you’ve been wondering why we’ve been invoking the Super Shredder (played by Kevin Nash!) for a while now while discussing ‘The Predator’, check out the now official synopsis:

From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.

PREVIOUSLY: After multiple release date delays and reshoots and negative script feeback, the first footage from The Predator has emerged during a panel at the currently underway CinemaCon. Check out the description below.

The trailer starts in a neighborhood. It’s Halloween. Kids are milling about. In one house, someone opens a package from JP Courier Co. The boy finds a Predator mask in it. He messes with some of the tech. He finds what he thinks is a ship but ultimately awakens a ship which crashes into earth. Boyd Holbrook’s character is interrogated. He says he’s a sniper and didn’t see anything but Sterling K. Brown’s character knows he did. Holbrook says he feels like “an alien” on his own planet. Flashbacks of a chaotic chase through the woods flash by. Olivia Munn plays a scientist, ruling that the species is upgrading on every planet it visits. Holbrook says “posing a threat is kind of the f—ing point.” Predators wreak havoc in various locations using their claws to slice people, there’s blood splatter, and the mask looks spot on. The chaos happens in the woods and the lab. Holbrook has a team of what looks like mercenaries. Munn turns out to be pretty handy with a gun. Something she says she learned in America.

This description comes from Comicbook.com.  It fits with the stinky script, but the leaked pictures already did too.
