The Predators are back and they're more dangerous than ever!

Cape Town – The trailer for The Predator has just been released and it is as scary as ever. 

It is the fourth installment in the Predator film series, set to take place between Predator 2 (1990) and Predators (2010).

Directed by Shane Black (Iron Man, Nice Guys) this action thriller with attitude takes the original cult classic to a whole new level.

Predators, the most dangerous hunters in the universe, have been genetically upgrading themselves using DNA from other species to be stronger, smarter and more lethal than ever before. 

When a young boy accidentally activates a mysterious alien device and becomes the target of these upgraded Predators, only his father and the most unlikely band of crazy ex-soldiers can save him – and the human race from obliteration.

Cast members include: Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Alfie Allen, and Thomas Jane.
