It looks like some people are going to dust off the good old but heavy and big Classic Army M134  or the Craft Apple Works (CAW) M134 Minigun in anticipation of the release of the reboot of the “Predator” series. The original “Predator” in 1987 was a success even when it initially had mixed reviews and over the years it has been looked on favourably and considered to be one of the best action films of all time. It is also the movie that every airsofter will always imagine when they get to hold the M134 minigun airsoft version, especially the scenes where Blain and Mac get to hold the beast and fire it.

There have been two sequels of the Predator film, Predator (1990) and Predators (2010) which were generally well received as compared to the sequels of Aliens and Terminators which are mixed bags.  (Yeah, yeah, those Alien vs Predator movies too)

Also known as Predator 4, The Predator will be directed by Shane Black (Iron Man III director), who was the first member of the team in the original film to die. Said to be story that will bridge the 1990 and 2010 sequels and this is its synopsis:

From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black's explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.

The cast is made up Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown, Jacob Tremblay, Yvonne Strahovski, Alfie Allen, and Thomas Jane. Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed appearing in the film as the same character in the original film and Benicio del Toro was initially signed up for the film but had to be replaced by Boyd Holbrook for the lead role due to scheduling problems. There is no confirmation of the Schwarzenegger will be appearing in the film at all, even if it is a cameo.

The Predator will be shown on the 14th of September 2018 and distributed by 20th Century Fox.
