June of 2014 saw the announcement of an ambitious Predator fan film, Predator: Dark Ages. A month later the film was successfully funded via Kickstarter. In the months since the team behind the Predator fan film have released various pictures of the project and now they’ve released a teaser trailer for us all to enjoy:
“Our Predator fan film is set in the Dark Ages, it is a period in history where mankind was plagued by disease and famine, as well as having to live and die by the sword.
Our film follows a group of war-torn Templar knights who have returned from the Eastern lands, back to England, only to find that the enemy is now a lot closer and a lot more deadly than before.
Throughout time the Predator has always looked for the greatest warriors to fight in battle, and with this short film we will see him put to the test against the some of the best history has ever seen, the Templar Knights.
Their battle with the Predator is the thing Myths and Legends are made of.”
I think the film looks fantastic and I’m excited to see more of it. In a recent update the team stated that they “have finished the colour grading process of post production, and are now onto VFX and Audio (sound design, score etc)!” If you don’t already, be sure to give them a Like on Facebook and follow this fantastic looking Predator fan film project.
Luckily the Mrs wanted to go to MCM Expo so I'll be heading down there.
Oh and here's their new poster:

Announcement about the MCM Expo. They'll be a Q&A with the film makers after.
They'll also be giving away some free t-shirts, I'll be trying to snag one of those mother truckers (I like t-shirts)

Here's a little teaser of the score for the film.
The setting is one of the most interesting things about it. I genuinely think this will surpass Redemption - as good as it was - as this has professional actors, actual locations and a better suit. Don't get me wrong, I still love Redemption but I think this will be fantastic.
The trailer is up! Looks fantastic.
