Next month, June 12 will mark the 29th anniversary of the release of the action classic Predator.

A new print from Matt Ferguson has been unveiled by Bottleneck Gallery, and you'll be able to buy it today.

Otherwise, Predator fans are also due for an update of the beloved action flick. Thankfully, this doesn't sound like it will be the disaster that the RoboCop reboot was back in 2014. Shane Black (The Nice Guys, Iron Man 3) will be at the helm of the new movie, which he has said will be an event film. The original holds a special place in Black's heart because he was one of the supporting stars who ended up getting taken out by Predator, so plenty of respect will be paid to the character and the original movie.
Recently, Black talked about updating the Predator costume and how Deadpool helped pave the way to make the latest installment of the franchise possible. You can read more of that right here.
