The Predator has now been given a new release date of August 3, 2018! After previously moving the release date of The Predator from March 2, 2018 to February 9, 2018, it does appear now that 20th Century Fox has delayed Shane Black’s Predator sequel by six months. The new release date of The Predator is August 3, 2018, first spotted on BoxOfficeMojo and this now appears to be official. Fox also confirmed the release dates of Deadpool 2 and New Mutants also due out in 2018.
The Cast of The Predator
The move means The Predator won’t be up against Marvel’s Black Panther movie which would have opened a week later. Ironically, the shift to August 3rd means it will be just before the killer shark movie Meg is released a week later. Originally, Meg and The Predator were to duke it out on the same day. The Predator is still currently filming in Vancouver, Canada and will finish filming in the middle of May.

I hope the new early august date give them time to reconsider things if needed.
Its finally will be a summer event movie as Black mentioned last year.
I watched Iron Man 3 last night and one thing I thought Black handled very well were the scenes between the boy and Tony Stark. While I was weary of the material little boy in The Predator. I think these parts will come off just fine. Most of Black's scripts have always had interesting kid characters in them. My favorite being Danielle Harris from The Last Boy Scout.
I'm not too bummed by it being delayed. I'd rather see them take their time with it than rush it to meet a release date.
Thanks.
Best of luck with your undercover operation.
Dont be jealous.like I said cheerleading bring nothing but crap to the table.
What is it he did again?
I think Before I Wake (or Somnia as Flanagan prefers to call it) will get picked up by Netflix, since Relativity Media is all but dead and he's doing Gerald's Game for them. Heck, they're releasing it worldwide except for the US this Friday.
Anyway, I'm glad horror is finally getting back on track with folks like Flanagan, James Wan, and Adam Wingard, among many others. I hope Halloween will begin the return of the slasher genre.
Speaking of slashers, wonder what's going on with the Nightmare On Elm Street reboot with David Leslie Johnson writing.
Man, I'm disappointed that didn't happen.
Ah well, at least she's doing Breed at Fox.
How could you man? Now go and get it before some random customer picks it up!
I think Flanagan is so talented - I worked a little on marketing for on his first post-Oculus film a few years ago which I think is still on the shelf and had several title changes. It wasn't great but it was solid, and Hush is great. Ouija saddled him with a cheesy prequel plot to a bad movie but he still made it fun and scary.
Also, I found an article about the H4 Carpenter treatment:
http://wickedhorror.com/features/script-pieces-carpenter-etchisons-halloween-4/
The scripts John Carpenter and one of the Halloween novelists worked on for Part IV back in the day are floating around too, before he abandoned the project (at which point I think the Akkads lied and told Donald Pleasence he was still involved, which led to the sequels we know today). I need to read them, as I am curious if they pertain to the new film at all which Carpenter allegedly also has his hand in. I am a huge Halloween fan. I still kind of wish Mike Flanagan was doing the movie, but David Gordon Green and McBride are very talented.
Also, what is the Naing & Goldberg script, Bishop?
Yeah, I think Doug Jung was brought on to re-write it just before filming began.
I left it at the dry cleaners.
Yep. In fairness I believe the draft I saw pre-dated it being snapped up for Cloverfield, and I assume possibly re-worked.
You referring to God Particle?
Okay cool, I'd like $2000 please and a script of the Last Jedi too.
I thought Dan Farrands wrote the found footage take. I would be keen to see it.
In the immortal words of Paul Verhoeven's Showgirls: "Different places!" But unlike The Predator most stuff I am potentially willing to share.
Haha. I think you'll still find Guzi's draft a bit disjointed upon a more discerning read. I expected more from the Prisoners man. Why did she have to get addicted to drugs? Predictable.
It was the found footage draft. I don't think it was any good though.
Where are you finding drafts and such? WHO ARE YOU?! WHERE ARE THE DRAFTS?!!!! SWEAR TO MEEEEE!!!!!
The Guzikowski draft is all over the place. But I need to give it a fairer shot and really read it close as opposed to glancing through.
I don't know the other draft you mention.
The Guzikowski draft was like three different movies! Great beginning and ending though. The bell was a nice touch. Apparently Vera Farmiga was in talks for Mrs. V. Bette Midler too. The latter I'm not so sure of though.
Have you read the Naing & Goldberg script?
And last I heard, Cunningham wanted to produce the next F13th himself, and not just collect a paycheck. Lol!
There are and have been many attempts at a new Friday the 13th over the last couple years. The one I absolutely loved - from Nick Antosca, a writer for the Hannibal TV series and the co-creator of SyFy's Channel Zero anthology series - was part Richard Linklater-style hangout/coming of age piece, and takes a long time to build characters carefully and then begin to kill them unpredictably. It's funny and sweet and also very dark and violent and unsettling, and it's unlike any other film in the franchise. That got rejected.
There's also a draft I saw from the writer of Prisoners which basically tries to fuse both prequel material (with the Voorhees family) and the first two F13s all into one new movie, which I find rushed and too much. So F13 is back in dev hell at the moment.
I just wish we were still getting a new Friday The 13th film.
Also, I was planning on see The Void a few weeks back, but ended up seeing Colossal instead. I think its on Netflix though.
It looks like It is sticking close to the Cary Fukunaga screenplay from before he left the project; given that it looks more impressive than I expected without him. So I do have some hopes there.
Yeah I can't wait for IT, Never really liked the last one but understand why people like it. Watched a movie called the void should check it out.
From what has been leaked yeah. I'm looking forward to IT myself. But it does sound like it fits a whole lot better if the kid is trick or treating and the movie is released near Halloween.
I know people who work in practical effects for tv and movies and they do change pieces, add things, etc... So it can happen if they decide to do it. I don't think they are going to revamp the script or change it completely but it's still very possible to change or cut things. That's what I said earlier and what I'm crossing my fingers for now.
I'm all for Shane Black getting extra time to do his thing to make a good movie from not just the script but everything else as well. And from his tweet, he is all for it too.

That sounds like Black wanted it pushed back not just because of Black Panther but other reasons, his reasons. I'm hoping he's definitely fixing what he can in this movie.
Wow, pushed back twice! BFD
