The Predator Teaser Trailer is Disappointing

The teaser trailer for 20th Century Fox’s The Predator was released yesterday and it’s really quite underwhelming. This writer understands that it's only a teaser, but it doesn’t do much to excite this long-time fan of the series. Have a look for yourself above and make your own judgment.

The Predator is about a young boy who accidentally triggers the return of the lethal hunters to Earth after toying around with a piece of their technology. When a Predator ship crash-lands on the planet, a small town is turned upside-down and it falls to a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers, along with a disgruntled science teacher, to save the world. However, as they will come to learn, they are ill-prepared to fight these stronger, smarter, and deadlier Predators.

The films main cast includes Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Trevante Rhodes (Westworld), Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key (Keanu), Olivia Munn (X-Men: Apocalypse), Sterling K. Brown (Black Panther), Alfie Allen (Game of Thrones), Thomas Jane (The Expanse), Augusto Aguilera, Yvonne Strahovski (Dexter), and Jake Busey (Starship Troopers).

The Predator is set for a September 14th release and will also be coming out in 3D. While the film wasn’t originally intended to be in the format, it was later converted to 3D in post-production. The film is directed by Shane Black (Iron Man 3), who is no stranger to the series as fans might know him for playing Hawkins in the first film.
