Actor Edward James Olmos has been out and about doing the press rounds on Pixar’s new animated feature Coco, and whilst promoting that movie, he has been speaking about his upcoming projects, one of them being the sequel/ reboot The Predator. The film, which is due in cinemas next year, is written and directed by Shane Black, and Olmos has been speaking of the tone of the piece. It sounds like we’re in for something special. He spoke with Cinema Blend.
“I haven’t seen any of it, but it’s gonna be funny. The kids in the thing. Yeah, the humor. Huge. Huge. I mean I was in shock, because, you know this is a really intense franchise, and it still is. Don’t get me wrong. You’re gonna be inside of it. But the characters are… what he did – Shane is an incredibly gifted writer, and he’s a great director, and so he ended up getting an incredible ensemble, and when I reached it they had already been filming for three months so they were a unit. So I jump in as the General and there were some moments where I just had to laugh in the scene and I couldn’t be laughing in the scene. ‘I’m sorry guys. Really, I’m sorry.’”
The Predator also stars Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown, Jacob Tremblay, Yvonne Strahovski, Alfie Allen, and Thomas Jane. It will be released on August 3rd, 2018.
