The Predator lands to terrorize Dhaka
Star Cineplex, a Bangladeshi movie theatre chain located in the country's one of the biggest shopping malls Bashundhara City in the capital, released American science fiction action film titled 'The Predator' on Friday.
The film is directed by Shane Black and written by Black and Fred Dekker. It is the fourth installment in the Predator film series (the sixth counting the two Alien vs. Predator films), following 'Predator' (1987), 'Predator 2' (1990) and 'Predators' (2010). Black had a supporting role in the original film, while John Davis returns as producer from the first three installments.
The film stars Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, and Sterling K. Brown, and follows a group of mercenaries who try to protect a small town from an invading group of Predators.
Talks of a new Predator installment began in June 2014, with Black being confirmed as writer and director; much of the cast signed on between October 2016 and January 2017. Filming took place in British Columbia from February to June 2017, with the entire climax being reshot in July 2018 following poor test screenings.
'The Predator' premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2018, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on September 14, 2018, by 20th Century Fox in IMAX and Dolby Cinema as well as standard formats.
