It appears the special features for the forthcoming The Predator Blu-Ray release have leaked online via forum member Pieter V on Blu-Ray.com Forums. These features do appear to be accurate.
What we have is almost 7 minutes of deleted scenes and it does appear that the original last act featuring the two “Emissary Predators” and hybrid creatures aren’t included here.
It seems extremely unlikely that there’ll be any kind of director’s cut or restored cut for Shane Black’s Predator sequel. A lot of those scenes still required a lot of CGI work and they wouldn’t necessarily make the film any better. Keep an eye out in the future as we’re currently working on a detailed article covering the deleted scenes from the film.
There’ll also be a few short featurettes entitled “Little Black”, “Evolution of the Predator” and “Hunting the Predator”. Rounding off those are trailers and a photo gallery. A commentary track from director Shane Black is surprisingly absent from the list though. All in all, as with the Alien Covenant, this is a fairly disappointing bare-bones release.
The Predator Special Features:
- Deleted Scenes (6:45 minutes)
- Little Black (10:22 minutes)
- Evolution of the Predator (20:05 minutes)
- Hunting the Predator (9 minutes)
- Gallery
- Trailers
20th Century Fox still haven’t officially announced the release date of The Predator home releases but I expect it will be out by December. For now, you can preorder The Predator 4K release for $/£24.99 here on Amazon.co.uk or on Amazon.com.
Update: A flyer has been posted for the sets confirming the December 2018 release date:
Meanwhile, here’s something to wet your whistle. A 9-disc Predator 4-Movie Collection is due out in Japan in January 2019 (via Ratkuten).
Thanks to Keyes and Voodoo Magic for the news.
Oh don't you dare. I'd rather get used underwear worn by a Scary Mall Santa
Well now I know what to give you for Christmas. And I might just send you two!
Fair dos
If thats me. Sorry, i was booing the studio more than anything
That sucks but not unexpected.
Just an FYI - negative comments are welcome. Being a dick isn't.
I imagination Lynch goes shopping might be him winning the Winnebago.
They include:
- Traeger meets McKenna
- Lynch goes shopping
- Inspection of the house
- bloopers
Maybe there will be other stuff, my source tells me that's it though.
Oh sweet
I 100% agree with you that it's subjective and supporting a film, or not supporting a film in protest, can both be fairly categorized as "doing one's part". True, taking either position can have its own share of foreseeable backfires, but both can be classified that way nevertheless.
My commentary was only qualified to a specific position already taken, not to proclaim there is one position to take. At least, that is the way it was intended. As anything I say, I probably could use a few edits for clarification sake. Cheers!
Indeed quite so. This was a communications error on my part. I leaped from one thought, straight into another, without effectively bridging the gap.
Allow me to elaborate. My statement about what constituted "doing one's part" was not a defense of anyone or any activity, and certainly not a defense of illegal acts. It was merely an examination of what I believe "doing one's part" constitutes, in regards to supporting the theatrical run of the film. That it is a subjective process.
In other words, some may choose to support the film at release, others may not, and yet both may think they've done what's in the best interest of the franchise. It was merely a rebuttal to the idea that supporting this questionable movie in the theater was indeed, "doing one's part". That there was, in fact, no single correct answer to that notion.
As for illegal downloading, no, I don't support that. Never have, never will. It's theft, and theft is low business.
I agree with this sentiment... i.e. avoiding this release in it's entirety to make a statement both theatrically and on home video.
However when one suggests they have "done their part" by purchasing a ticket, in essense financially supporting said movie, while the other hand plans to illegally download a copy to view at home, i.e. not financially supporting its home release, it's ultimately a half-measure, a mixed signal, a way to self legitimize a reason to illegally download a copy for home viewing and save some money.
But either way, you probably can see, I personally do not support the illegal downloads of films.
And here I thought it was a joke about the weather in England or something.
As for "doing one's part", I think that is definitely subjective. Calling out problems and mistakes in a civil/respectful fashion is also doing one's part. Like when some people say you have to support your favorite sports team, even when they lose constantly, or you're not a true fan. I disagree with that notion. You locate the problem, and either remove it and/or press for change. That's how things improve.
So I did my part by not buying a ticket. I simply couldn't and wouldn't support the nutty approach this movie took with the franchise.
When supporting a franchise, purchasing a cinema ticket but bootlegging a home video copy is not fully doing one's part in my opinion.
I was kind of guessing the UK release would be a January 2019 release and the November 2018 USA digital release would be jumping the shark.
I hate to say it but.............this will be a torrential rain release for me.....
Well at least I bought a full priced cinema ticket, so I've done my part.
Interesting. It's probably for the best with this movie though. I don't think I could sit through both the film and an excuse track at the same time.
I can't provide an exact quote, but it's from what I've read various times online and the Blu-ray forums. I believe it's something around 17 weeks from cinema to DVD in the UK, as that's the agreement with the cinema chains for the theatrical distribution window.
Just as a note, but Shane Black never provided a commentary track with his last film, The Nice Guys, either.
I wasn't aware of that! Where did you read this?
Well, I'm certainly not too impressed with the details so far. Seems pretty bare. The lack of commentary is just...
Same here. I just can't justify 4k, and my minimalism can't tolerate a bunch of booklets/statues. I just want the movie. Disc goes in the wallet, case goes in recycling. No dust, no fuss, no wasted space.
Is that interior design concept art? Hmm. Not a big fan of that
Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for explaining!

This art on the book, on the otherhand, I do like.
Unfortunately home media isn't permitted to be released within 4 months of the cinema release here in the UK, so The Predator for us just misses the Christmas window.

Well that's unfortunate. Fans in the UK have to wait a whole month and a half later.
I guess Fox wants it on US shelves before Christmas.

...we get this:
Except for a "Predator Catch-Up" sub for the "Trailers", all we got was some title changes to the docs. Weeeee!
Really those titles might not have been changed, just lost in translation.
Well that tweet from John Squires saying it wasn't the complete list of bonus features turned out to be a false hope for something substantial.
And looks like the actual press release/details have been released: https://goodnerdbadnerd.com/2018/10/30/the-predator-is-coming-home/

Shame that it's not releasing until December.
Go ahead. I'll time you.
And don't cut and paste the retail information from this into your fan made flier!
Been 40 minutes....
I like THE PREDATOR en all, but I could knock that flyer up in 30 minutes using GIMP* (*free Photoshop).
Some fans are so desperate for traffic or subscribers- they make or post fake trailers, posters, concept art and pass it off as an exclusive find.
Even if they knowingly do so; knowing it is fake, just to impress people.
