Alfie Allen Predator news! British actor joins the cast of the film, which is now in production.
British actor Alfie Allen, whose screen credits include Game Of Thrones and John Wick, has reportedly joined the cast of The Predator, Shane Black‘s new take on the action/ horror franchise. More on the Alfie Allen Predator news below.
The film kicked off shooting Vancouver, Canada on Monday, with Black posting the following photo, which shows off some of the existing cast members Boyd Holbrook (who is so, so good in the upcoming Logan), Jacob Tremblay, Sterling K Brown, Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane and Olivia Munn.
According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision, Allen will play an ex-marine who teams with several other outsiders, including one played by Holbrook, to stop the human-hunting creatures in a setting that hasn’t yet been seen in a Predator movie: suburbia.
Shane Black wrote the screenplay for The Predator, along with Fred Dekker. It will officially be the fourth film in the series, excluding the Alien Vs Predator movies, following Predator, which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1987, the Danny Glover-led sequel, which hit in 1990, and then the Robert Rodriguez-helmed Predators, which hit cinemas twenty years later in 2010.
John Davis is producing the film, which will be released by 20th Century Fox on February 9th, 2018. Davis has said of the film that he thinks it is fresh and reimagines the franchise in a “different, interesting way”. We are sold purely on Black’s attachment, which was revealed back last year after he finished up work on the brilliant The Nice Guys. We hope that his humour and talent for character development and action make their way into The Predator, which I’m absolutely sure it will.
