Jake Busey joins The Predator cast! Deadline are reporting that Jake Busey will be appearing alongside Boyd Holbrook and Thomas Jane in The Predator.
“Jake Busey has been added to the cast of Shane Black’s The Predator at 20th Century Fox. Production is underway on the R-rated reboot, which stars Sterling K. Brown, Trevante Rhodes, Boyd Holbrook, Jacob Tremblay, Olivia Munn, Augusto Aguilera and Keegan-Michael Key.”
Jake Busey joins The Predator cast!
Jake’s name should be very familiar to Predator fans! Jake’s father, Gary Busey, appeared in Predator 2 as Agent Keyes. Jake himself is no stranger to science-fiction having appeared in Starship Troopers.

Tommy Wiseau is more than just a method actor. He's method living.
Gary Busey is ace!
I think Jake is a much better actor than his father was.
Glad to see they kept things in the Predator family.
Busey is the greatest method of actor of all time. Except for maybe Tommy Wiseau.
No-one disses the Busey. Go and stand in the corner. In disgrace!
Busey will probably be in a smaller military role, that's not so important to the story.
Shane shot a movie with Busey in 2016 and they are in contact since then, writing each other on Facebook and stuff. So his casting is probably because of that connection and his role will probably be small, and not because he's playing the son of Peter Keyes.
That would be fun though, but unlikely.
They're really not... That character was so one-dimensional it hurt.
I'm sure they won't... drill the point home. Sorry, I'll get my coat.
I think its hilarious that Jake Busey is in the movie... I'm leaning towards a flashback on a videotape from with him AS Keyes rather than "son of Keyes" ... (though I guess all character motivation is right there for him to follow in Keyes's footsteps).
If they go down "son of Keyes" route - those are epic shoes to fill. Still - Black and Decker (I just can't take that seriously, I'm sorry) are smart writers both - they can make the dialogue zing which is what you need for Keyes. "The lions. The tigers. Oh, my." (I wonder as I type if Gary Busey just improved "oh, my").
Difficult one of its son of Keyes - because the temptation will be to have him as "more of Keyes". Would we be disappointed if son of Keyes was a quiet, studious Dana Sculley type of investigator looking into the scientific side of things?
The temptation is "more Keyes" right? But we've already had Keyes and as I say above - big shoes to fill.
Ahhh.... speculation. We love it, hey.
I agree. It really pisses me off when sequels do this. Really. I hope Black and Dekker are above this.
C'mon you wouldn't like to hear Keegan Michael Key say "Hey! You mind? She's my sister.....oh you're not my sister are you..." lol.
No thanks. I hate the arbitrary re-use of lines in sequels. Nine times out of ten it's just cringe-worthy.
Jake Busey and his teeth look like they belong in a Farrelly Bros. movie.
Who says we can't have both?
I haven't seen Trevante in anything yet, but Boyd hands down is a great actor and has been good in everything I've seen him in

That's not saying much
Like father, like son!
True, but it doesn't mean that's there's a connection to the characters.
To honest, I hope I'm wrong because I love the idea of OWLF coming back.
As Valaqueen said, it'd be really jarring for him to show up playing a character that ISNT related to Keyes
I think it would be interesting for him to play Keyes's son, but I doubt that's the part he's playing. But then again Black did say this was a sequel to Predator 2 as well.
He was great in the Frighteners, and Identity.
He and his father look so alike it would be really jarring if their fictional characters weren't related.

Infinite. If there was a new Predator movie every year, I'd be excited for them all.
Danny Glover cameo plz.
If he doesn't drop a "TOO LATE TO GO HOME NOW" line, I'll be massively disappointed
Just wondered, if The Predator proves financially successful and there's a demand for more... How many sequels to Predator would fans STICK AROUND for?
"Got me a score of twelve, sir. That's one more than Starkweather!"
I hope he parts his hair to the side like his dad did

He brought Mr Busey to this movie.
Also the idea of P2 of a team who try to catch The Predator just with a more advenced and experienced team.
Maybe Holdbrook and Rodes plays Duch and Harrigan's sons.
