There was a movie convention called Wonderfest in Louisville this weekend and KNB’s Greg Nicotero was there answering questions. They showed a behind-the-scenes feature of Predators which was about the Classic Predator. Luckily, Sabres21768 was there to take some snaps of the segment.
There’s a heap of pictures if you follow the link including shots of the face moulds, masks, armour, costume. There’s also a picture showing a regular mask and a battle-damaged version. Thanks to Sabres21768 for the news.
first of all, respect your fellow posters, Hunter... Next, I did see the images, and the more I see them, even though they're without the proper lighting and the proper painting, the more they look the same as ADI's... A bit let wide open, but still miles away from the originals... I am sure you have seen the originals enough times to know... And I have had this feeling since the trailers... Now, these low-res photos just confirmed it... Of course, it will all come down to the movie to confirm or not the first impressions...
Nevertheless, to each their own... you think they're good, I don't...And I vividly remember the first two ones and this doesn't look even remotely close to them.. About the netting, I really didn't care that much...the jaws worry me a whole lot more than that...
How difficult can it be to do a Predator with a mouth like the first or second Predator?
The skin looks off, no netting, which if this is the hanged Predator kinda makes sense as the Uber Predators would take all his weaponry off, including the cloaking netting, before 'hanging' him out to dry, so to speak...
So, very disappointed...Hopefully, they'll hide it away with the color grading, but still, the mouth wide open is an issue again for me...
this looks great!
they need to hire me
Screw off.
Saying this is not awesome or looks NOTHING like the original design?!? Is flat out nit-picking at its worst...or just someone trying to start shit...thee end.
...Some of you fans are way too uptight. The design looks great and when it's seen in action with their stylized lighting, you're probably not going to be able to tell the difference.
I do care because it's closer to the original, provided by an amateurish, than professional work of people who are suppose to have access to the original design and many reference of the colouring.
This is unacceptable.
PS. f**k the fan-made stuff. Who cares about that shit?
Colour, design, almost everything is wrong.
This fan made a better job:
