THE PREDATOR Trailer Is Here In All Its R-Rated Glory

DISCLAIMER: If the title of this article didn't make clear enough, I'll be discussing a red-band trailer. Those have more swearing and violence than usual. So, don't say I didn't warn you, if you're not into that sort of thing.

After a couple disappointing teasers and a surprising amount of apathy from the online film press, we have our first real trailer for Shane Black's The Predator. Take a look for yourself, will you?

Like I just said a moment ago, the past two trailers weren't exactly what you would call satisfying; but, I've been optimistic about the film regardless and it looks like this trailer justifies said optimism. We get a far more clear sense of the plot (the suburban setting appears to be nice change of pace), some classic Shane Black dialogue (Keegan Michael Key's "videogame" one-liner killed me) and we get a couple good gory action bits. If nothing else, it's nice to see among all the glut of superhero flicks and other blockbusters clogging up the multiplexes as of late, we're still able to have a strange B-grade genre flick from one of our best mainstream talents slip through the cracks. 

Also included in this bit of news: a pretty cool looking poster* depicting the severed head of a normal Predator being held by the bigger one we got a glimpse of near the end. A rather ominous (but also really cool) image to go off of. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be patiently counting down the days until September 14th comes around to hopefully blow our minds with this picture.

*Seriously, now, THAT is how you do a poster, baby!
