The Predator trailer is finally here. It's been a long time coming, but Fox has finally gotten around to making a new Predator movie with hopes of kick-starting the franchise for modern audiences. While this movie won't be abandoning the canon of the previous movies, as it will have connections to previous entries, it will also be mostly a reboot, allowing for a new generation of moviegoers to experience what one of the most iconic and deadly aliens in cinema history has to offer. Now, with the release of this trailer, we finally have our first look at the movie, which arrives in theaters this fall.

This footage first debuted at CinemaCon in Las Vegas before making its way online. The Predator takes the franchise from the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia. 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. Shane Black (Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys) directs the movie.

When it comes to Predator, it could be one of those if it ain't broke don't fix it kind of things. That said, with the whole suburban setting, genetically upgrades and whatnot, this is diverting pretty far from what people love about the original movie. In truth, no movie in the series has even come close to matching the first one, which Shane Black actually starred in alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger who, unfortunately, unless they snuck him in during reshoots, won't be appearing. Schwarzenegger was said to have been offered a small part in the movie early on, but he didn't like what they were offering him, so he passed. Whatever the case may be, don't expect to see Dutch show up to save the day.

The cast for the movie does include Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Sterling K. Brown, Alfie Allen, Thomas Jane, Augusto Aguilera, Jake Busey and Yvonne Strahovski. After moving its release date around several times, with the movie originally slated for release in February of this year, Fox is now going to release The Predator on September 14. Director Shane Black and Fred Dekker (Monster Squad) penned the screenplay.

Can this finally be the movie that brings the franchise back to its former glory? We haven't seen the killer aliens on screen since 2010's Predators and people are ready to like this movie if it's good. That's the key, this movie has to be good. Not even great, but good. We'll know in just a handful of months if Shane Black was able to pull it off, but in the meantime, this footage gives us some idea of what to expect.

The Predator Trailer Has Finally Arrived

Jurassic World 2 is just around the corner, so what better time for hucksters to come out of the woodwork with their own dinosaur thrillers designed on the cheap. Maybe you can't make it out opening weekend? Well, never fear, you can always catch Jurassic Predator at home on VOD, and who knows? It might make for the funner experience.

In Jurassic Predator, scientists working at a top secret government research facility are conducting experiments to resurrect a dinosaur using prehistoric DNA. The scientists believe the experiment will lead to fame and fortune but instead it leads to death and destruction when the terrifying T-Rex grows at an accelerated pace. After rampaging through the research centre, the fearsome creature escapes into nearby Devil's Creek. The government hires a squad of deadly mercenaries to lead a search and destroy mission. It's man against the most vicious beast of all time - and neither will survive while the other is alive.

Directed by Andrew Jones, the movie stars Nathan Head, Richard Dee-Roberts, Jason Homewood, Derek Nelson, Lee Jones, and Lee Bane. While the Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom team have been raving about their practical dinosaurs, these guys have them to. There's definitely some practical fx dinos on the hunt! The movie comes From 4Digital Media and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Andrew Jones has been making movies since 2006, and he's mostly worked in the often sneered at genre of the mock buster. He often does mashup titles like this, taking two very popular franchises and hammering one sorted movie out of them. He's done horror movies like The Amityvill Asylum, The Last House on Cemetery Lane, and Poltergeist Activity. He's also done a series of Annabelle knockoffs that start with The Curse of Robert the Doll and are followed by The Revenge of Robert the Doll and Robert Reborn. He currently has five other movies in post-production.

Jurassic Predator is clearly riffing on Jurassic World and the sequel Fallen Kingdom. That movie is hitting theaters June 22. So this thing is beating it to the streets, arriving on June 5. Though we doubt it will cause any disruption or direct competition. Let's face it. This is a cheap B-grade Drive-In piece of trash, as fun as it may be. Jurassic World 2 could also be called that. But at least it has some grade A effects being thrown behind it and an A-List Hollywood cast.

If you're hungry for more dinos this summer, and just don't feel like Fallen Kingdom will be able to satiate your every waking need, then go for Jurassic Predator. It looks like it will deliver the right kind of goods to your doorstep. Take a look at the first trailer and poster from 4Digital Media. It might look cheap, but that never stopped something from being an absolute blast.
