The cover for the upcoming book “The Art and Making of The Predator,” which features the conceptual and practical design work from the movie, has been added to the book’s listing on Titan Books’ website.
It’s unknown if this will be the final cover art, but featured in the image is a look at one of the new Predators from the film. Based upon the armor, this is not the same Predator as those that were leaked a while back. We’ve also confirmed this is the case with one of our sources.
One notable feature is the singular wrist-blade design, similar to the ones the “Super-Predators” used in the 2010 film, Predators. In our interview with StudioADI last November, we asked if any elements from Predators would influence what we’d be seeing in The Predator, and naturally, creature designers Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis were coy about that info.
The art book is slated to be released on September 18th, right after The Predator opens in theaters.

Spoiler
The new movie was announced in 2014 june and we got if four years later and 8 years after Predators.The movie completes very slowly.If they decide to reboot that would be a few years again but thats right Petr that we haven't seen the film so we first have to see how it works.
That universe building for this franchise could also work with Holbrook's character if the movie is successful.
Josh Brolin was also rumored for the role of McKenna next to Franco, Affleck and Del Toro if I'm right.
I'm still wondering how Del Toro's McKenna could have been.
It needs better foundations , in order to build a better sky scraper.. so to speak..
Thanos would be the ultimate prey...
So they don't have even remotely any saying in Predator franchise.. There is even big possibility that Disney won't even be allowed to buy FOX (regulations and so on)..
Unfortunatelly english is not my native language but i hope you guys understand this
That what could work really cool with Black if he's got a more serious role in the second half of the movie than a cameo.
In the new Terminator Tim Miller and James Cameron will make Arnie great again.I hope.
Maybe arnold surveys the after math or helps kill the predator doing all the slaughtering
I would like to see him playing the veteran Dutch.
There's so much could be about him and what happened with him in the last 30 years.
Hypothetically speaking there's nothing to stop Disney incorporating Predator into marvel , they could even just pull the plug on the film altogether if they wanted to . Sad but true because what's to stop them ?
As iv said batman has been rebooted and turned out to be an absolute gem with the dark knight trilogy, the new planet of the apes comes to mind here too , I see no reason why predator can't do the same .
How about the actual choice of Arnold or Boyd Holbrook, though? I honestly feel we have enough old guy action movies lol there's always the expendables and Bruce Willis' next sleepwalk if that's what people are looking for.
I didnt forget, the point was he will do work as long as he's in the central role, the quality of which is questionable. I'm sure people will say Arnold being the main character would've been better no matter what but I'd disagree based on his recent work. If he'd rather do Killing Gunther or something instead of a cameo in a Predator film there's no big worries for him or Shane.
True they wanted Del Toro first but they clearly see something in Holbrook (there's a story Fox is giving him the green light to star in and write a thriller called 'Thirst'), plus I think he was good in Logan. He wasn't the standout in Narcos but he also wasn't an issue for me with the way he looks.
He was good in Narcos, I only say he wasn't the standout because I'm a big fan of Pedro Pascal. I watched the series before Boyd was announced as the lead here though so maybe I'll rewatch and pay better attention haha
Boyd Holbrook is 36 years old, how is he a baby? Arnold is 70 and was/is busy making Killing Gunther, Triplets, and a journey to China movie (all great scripts simply because he is in a central role). There was a poll here on whether or not fans wanted him in a central role, and as you can see 65% did not choose that option:
Should Arnold Schwarzenegger star in the Predator Sequel?
Yes, as a cameo appearance. (51%)
Yes, as a central role. (35%)
No, not interested. (14%)
Total Voters: 6,841

Well it was the most popular choice of 6,841 fans
I remember watching the NBA finals and them having a preview every-other commercial break. They went on a barrage for a bit but unless you followed this site or others like it, you didn't know it was coming.
He's not that naked
Should be interesting to see the reactions when we first see the naked Predator-Human hybrid upgrade thing...
I am excited for this movie no matter what. At somepoint if they keep making predator films something good will come out of it.
The dark knight made me realise this
Maybe it's time ? What else could hurt this franchise anymore than things have done ? now it has nothing to lose , a new remake might just work .. maybe .
Ironically the dark knight trilogy was a reboot , so it can be done , that's why I have faith the formula could fit nicely with predator . It's dying for a nolan like director , a strong cast , a realistic premise and a marvel styled budget .
