Edward James Olmos Joins the Cast of Shane Black's THE PREDATOR
Edward James Olmos is suiting up for
The Predator, Shane Black’s reboot of 20th Century Fox’s sci-fi action franchise. Black is directing from a script he co-wrote with Fred Dekker.
The movie is shooting in Vancouver with Boyd Holbrook leading a cast that also includes
Room breakout Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Trevante Rhodes, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, Yvonne Strahovski (mine!) and Olivia Munn.
The movie once again features unsuspecting humans who slowly realize that fierce hunter-aliens are in their midst, this time in a suburban setting. Olmos will play a military character.
Olmos is a veteran actor who made his mark playing a detective in the 1980s version of
Miami Vice and in the acclaimed re-imagining of
Battlestar Galactica, the Syfy show in the early 2000s in which he played Commander Adama.
The actor, who did a recent stint on Marvel’s
Agents of SHIELD, is coming off of shooting
Blade Runner 2049 in which he reprises his character from the classic 1982 Ridley Scott movie. And is due to appear in the pilot for
Mayans MC, FX's hoped-for
Sons of Anarchy spinoff series.
