This time Shane Black is directing from a script by Fred Dekker. John Davis, Joel Silver, and Lawrence Gordon, who produced the original, hope to begin shooting next year, reports variety.com.
The film is slotted for a February 9, 2018, release.
The original was directed by John McTiernan and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, and Jesse Ventura as commandos attempting to rescue hostages while being stalked in a jungle in Central America by a fearsome extra-terrestrial, played by Kevin Peter Hall.
Black appeared in 'Predator' in a supporting role as Rick Hawkins shortly after 'Lethal Weapon', which he had written, became a massive hit on silver screen.
His directing credits include 'Kiss Kiss Bang Bang', 'Iron Man 3' and 'The Nice Guys', starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling, from his own scripts.
