Expectations are high for The Predator, the reboot of the classic sci-fi action franchise which is set to hit theaters in September. Very little from the movie has been revealed so far, but writer Fred Dekker has now confirmed that a teaser trailer will be with us very soon.

Dekker took to his Facebook page to explain that the movie was currently undergoing reshoots in Vancouver, as well as noting that the movie's "body count is alarming." Dekker followed his post with the words fans have been wanting to hear for some time: "And yes, a teaser trailer will be coming soon..." Check his post out below:

Last week it was announced that the movie was moving back from an August release to September 14. This is the second time it has shifted release date--it was originally set come out in February. The Predator is directed by Shane Black, who previously made Iron Man 3 and the cop comedy The Nice Guys. It stars Boyd Holbrook (Narcos, Logan), Trevante Rhodes (Moonlight), Keegan-Michael Key (Keanu, Key & Peele), Sterling K. Brown (The People v. OJ Simpson), Olivia Munn (X-Men: Apocalypse), Thomas Jane (The Expanse), and Jacob Tremblay (Room).

Although no footage has been revealed yet, a promotional motion poster for the movie was spotted at a licensing expo in London in November. In addition, we've seen a similarly-themed poster, plus some behind-the-scenes images.

Specific story details are also under wraps for now, but in an interview last year, Jane did provide some hints as to movie's plot. The actor explained that the film will focus on a group of "shellshocked" soldiers, who are arrested and are in the process of being transported to an army hospital. However, one of the soldiers is being targeted because he has seen the Predator ships come to earth.

"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," Jane said. "But, of course, we take the bus over. We're all like, 'Let's go kill these f***ing 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!"

Black himself acted in the original Predator from 1987, which starred Schwarzenegger and was directed by John McTiernan. To date there have been four further films, including the direct sequel Predator 2, two Alien vs. Predator movies, and 2010's Robert Rodriguez-produced Predators.
