Fans were excited to learn that Thomas Jane was cast in the upcoming Predator movie, The Predator, but now, the former Punisher actor is giving fans something even more exciting.
In a recent interview with Shadow Nation, Jane revealed the following about the upcoming movie:
“We play these veterans from like Afghanistan or the Iraq War or whatever. But we’re all fucking crazy so we go to the VA hospital to get our meds. We’re all like shellshocked, PTSD soldiers. We’re at the VA hospital and we’re in group therapy and of course, somebody flips out – this is backstory, I don’t think we really see this – somebody flips out and we all get arrested and get thrown onto the bus to go down to the hospital and they throw this other guy on the bus too.
And he’s a guy they’ve actually marked to kill him because he’s seen a UFO, he’s seen the Predator ships come down so they lock him up and throw him in with us lunatics. They’re going to take that bus, drive it down to a ditch and shoot us all just to get rid of this one guy. But, of course, we take the bus over and we’re all like ‘fuck that, man, let’s go kill these fucking Predators ourselves.’ And we’re just crazy enough to believe that this guy really did see a UFO and there’s these aliens out there. So that’s kinda cool!”
Later in the interview, Jane added:
“You know the Predators, they looked…you know they didn’t fuck those up. They’re still Predators and they’re pretty much the same Predator as always.”
Also good to know. It definitely sounds pretty cool, and it’s good to see Thomas Jane back in a big movie, as well as The Predator back on the big screen.
The Predator hits theaters on August 3rd, 2018.
