Shane Black has announced that The Predator (Predator 4) will commence filming in 15 days! We had learned a while ago that The Predator would begin filming in February, but thanks to Black, we now have a specific start date - February 20th, 2017!
Recently, The Predator added Thomas Jane and child actor Jacob Tremblay to the film's cast, playing the son of Boyd Holbrook's character.
In terms of a plot synopsis, The Predator is expected to involve the discovery of Predator technology left behind by one of the extraterrestrial hunters after a failed hunt. The discovery is initially made by Boyd Holbrook's character. He later reveals the tech to his son, who is able to somehow decode and/or understand the Predator language displayed on the stolen tech. The film will involve another Predator, or multiple Predators making a play to reclaim the stolen technology before or can be exploited by Human scientists.
