UPDATED: Shane Black Acknowledges ‘The Predator’!

UPDATED: Shane Black himself has acknowledged this early artwork, and title; ‘We reached out to Black himself who confirmed that, barring any other ideas, The Predator is the current title of the film.’  So uh… fitting response for this is…

PREVIOUSLY: You’ll never see him coming… is quite apt here, because who the hell saw this coming?  We’d feared the worst since Shane Black kept quiet on his new Predator movie, but now the first teaser artwork has appeared on the official verified Predator Facebook Page.

So what do we know about the film so far?  Well not much, but we know it is going to be a sequel, straight up – no ambiguity or ‘rebootquel’.  Second, it’s going to be written by Shane Black, possibly directed by him too.  And now obviously, the film is called ‘The Predator’.  You won’t see him coming, that probably puts an end to fearful speculation of a female Predator.

So man, this comes as relief, a major care package to all of us besieged by girlie man movies.  Here we go again, bro.  Same kind of moon, same kind of jungle. Real number 10 remember… Whole platoon, 32 men chopped into meat… We walk out just you and me, nobody else. Right on top huh? Not a scratch… Not a fuckin’ scratch. You know who ever got you. They’ll come back again. And when he does I’m gonna cut your name right into him… I’m gonna cut your naaammme into him!
