NFL star Jason Kelce stars in a new promotional short film called Thermal Buzz, created by Garage Beer in partnership with the movie Predator: Badlands.
The beer advertising featurette, which can be viewed online and during NFL game commercial breaks, has been positioned to pay tribute to the classic Predator movie and features Kelce in action alongside fellow athletes.
The deal began when Garage Beer partnered with 20th Century Studios to create the short based on the upcoming action flick and features Kelce and former Philadelphia Eagles player Beau Allen as they square off with the lethal Predators in the jungle.
In the film, the stars are clad in camouflage outfits and take part in an action sequence that also showcases the Garage Beer range.
Teaser released
The teaser has already been shared by Kelce in a collaborative post with Garage Beer, with a caption announcing, “Garage Beer: It could save your life! Predator Badlands in theaters November 7th and Thermal Buzz on your phones October 31st.”

The 11-minute Thermal Buzz film, which also features pro-wrestler Matt Cardona, comes out on Friday and serves as an homage to the original 1987 release of Predator, which kicked off the franchise.
Action-packed entertainment
Kelce said in a statement: “As a ’90s kid, there’s nothing I loved more than a good action movie. In my mind, it’s hard to find a movie more iconic than ‘Predator.’”
The retired NFL champion added: “From the memes to the epic quotes, nothing compares in terms of action-packed entertainment. We’re just pumped that our short film can be part of the moment; I can’t wait to see ‘Predator: Badlands.’”
Predator: Badlands, the latest instalment of the Predator franchise, has been directed by Dan Trachtenberg and stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. The movie is being officially released in cinemas from 7 November.
