What happens

The Predator is a 2018 American science fiction action film directed by Shane Black, who co-wrote it with Fred Dekker. It is the fourth installment in the Predator franchise, set between the events of Predator 2 (1990) and Predators (2010). The film stars Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, and Sterling K. Brown. It follows a group of PTSD-afflicted soldiers and a scientist who must team up to fight off an invading pair of Predators and discover their plans for humankind. Development of the film was announced in June 2014, with Black being confirmed as writer and director. Much of the cast signed on between October 2016 and January 2017. Principal photography took place in British Columbia from February to June 2017, with the climax being re-written and re-shot in July 2018 following poor test screenings. The Predator premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, 2018, and was released in the United States on September 14, by 20th Century Fox. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $160 million against a budget of $88 million. It was followed by a prequel, Prey, released in 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
