’10 Cloverfield Lane’ Director Dan Trachtenberg To Helm ‘Predator 5’

Disney and 20th Century Studios are moving forward with a new Predator film and have tapped 10 Cloverfield Lane‘s Dan Trachtenberg to direct.

The Predator franchise that began with the 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger has gone through numerous revisions in recent years with Robert Rodriguez and most recently, Shane Black. The Predator resulted in a box office bomb and a negative critical response, but Disney is now looking to breathe some life into the franchise with 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg.

Deadline is reporting that a new Predator film in development over at 20th Century Studios with 10 Cloverfield Lane’s Dan Tractenberg on board to direct. The studio has also enlisted Patrick Aison to pen the script, who is best known for writing Amazon’s recent Jack Ryan series. It’s also said the next entry in the Predator franchise will ignore the events of the Shane Black film.

Here is the synopsis for the last film in the Predator series:

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.

Directed by Shane Black, The Predator stars Boyd Holbrook, Yvonne Strahovski, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown, Jacob Tremblay, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, Augusto Aguilera, Jake Busey, and Edward James Olmos.

The Predator is now available on Digital HD, Blu-Ray, and DVD. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for all the latest news surrounding the Predator franchise and make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel for more video content in the future!
