As the countdown to The Predator’s theatrical release runs down, magazine coverage of The Predator continues.
SFX Magazine’s latest issue has a nice spread on The Predator, with some mini-interviews with Steve Johnson, the man who designed the infamous Van Damme version of the Predator, Jackie Burch, the original Predator’s casting director and Dark Horse Comic’s Chris Warner who wrote the current Predator run, Predator: Hunters 2!
The Predator content is mainly a lengthy interview with director and co-writer Shane Black who talks about how before writing the new film, he and co-writer Fred Dekker dissected the original Predator to determine what elements they wanted to take forward into the new film.
Black also talks about how he wanted to handle filming the Predator itself now that the creature design is so well known. There’s not much in the way of new information but it’s still an enjoyable read. You can read the entire article yourself in our gallery.
As well as the written coverage, SFX also had a couple of new stills including some of the cast and the Fugitive Predator’s escape from the Stargazer base.

Anytime, City Hunter, Wolf, even Scar look a lot better
I rather believe to Shane himself (as he is the director) than a magazine.
And Shane said that the Predators (actually, SOME Predators) upgrade themselves.
Really weird
The article mentioned that Assassin was made by humans, too.
Predator canine isn't as awful as I thought it would be, dreadlocks still bring down the design though.
I was expecting worse design-wise, but still not a fan of it either.
So the Predator dog is a...Rottweiler?
Could have been much worse, to be honest...
And the dreadlocks are quite short.

"A new kind of huge predator which is three in this work. According to Shane Black's information, predators for vs Predator which human beings created by secretly genetic manipulation. Height is about 3 meters. From the life-sized bust prepared at the shooting site, I can understand the size outside the standard. There is nothing weaker than Berserker in this, is not it? In addition, Predator Dog, which seems to have developed secretly by humankind, appears in this work."
The colors are different though

I actually first bought the comic around that time and didn't actually appreciate it until sometime last year. Definitely had to read it from a different perspective than the other comics, but think it's great now. Not sure what changed, age maybe?
Not that I'm aware of.
Incredibly I have not been able to get past the first issue
Yeah, I think people sometimes forget how old the connection between Predator and Alien is. This is not just some new idea from the 2000's. But as a fan I'd be better satisfied if the creators were to stick to the original source material (which is by far more enjoyable, imo) than try to come up with stuff outside of the lore - at the beginning. They should establish AvP first with solid material, like the Noguchi or Delacroix stories, and maybe then start producing more original elements to the stories.
Mmm in the beautiful world we are living in, you never know
The other day I was going down on my girlfriend...
Indeed, some would say, "if it's on film, it's canon".
A sex movie.
Good thing that's a joke. I don't think a movie that's called "The Sexual Predator" is going to do very well at the box office.
What kind of movie did Shane Black make???
That is actually a good and interesting idea for a story which gives me a *little* hope hope in the movie turning out not so bad after all. But i cannot get over the fact that they are gonna include stuff from the AVP movies, basically making them canon. Is the worst possible idea.
Technically not brand new info, but I'm interested by what this implies - it reads that Upgrade was specifically created/enhanced for a purpose, rather than just roiding himself out because he wants to be better. I'm also happy with the phrasing "a group of rogue predators," since it reinforces my strong preference that it's just one sect doing this rather than the species as a whole.
