The Predator made it through most of its production without much in the way of leaked photos. They nearly made it until we had a couple of stills of some of the film’s new Predators. There had been plenty of other photos taken by the crew working on the film, most of which didn’t really give much away.
However, there have been several photos taken in an interesting location. A location that is actually the interior of a new Predator starship featured in Shane Black’s The Predator! Beware potential spoilers.

According to Alien vs. Predator Galaxy’s sources, The Predator contains several Predator spaceships. The set (and door) we’re seeing here are likely from a vessel known as The Ark in the script. The Ark plays a massive role in the film and is home to a variety of strange creatures that the film’s heroes, The Loonies, will come up against.
On a related note, Mike Fields also shared a cool picture of himself alongside Brian Prince, one of the performers we suspect will be inside ADI’s Predator suits!

I like it, not as tribal as the P2 ship, but looks like it could be the interior to the original ship:

They even have some gold tones in them, so yeah, looks very "Predator" to me and not too clean/Star-Treky like the AvP ship.
Quote from: black on Jun 01, 2017, 12:10:12 PMI don't know at which point the ship was designed, but since it ended up in the movie i always associate it with being "Predator" in style, because it officially was the Predator's ship. It's also not too far away from the armour style of the creature, so it could actually be designed for the Winston Predator.Quote from: Johnny Handsome on Jun 01, 2017, 10:34:37 AMI always thought that the design of the original ship was created before Winston and therefore obviously did not fit the predator of which we know now.

Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jun 01, 2017, 01:13:36 PMThe original idea behind Predator was that the Predator was actually just one of many creatures in an intergalactic hunting club, so that could actually be the case.
Am I right in thinking there was a time when the ship that dropped the Predator off wasn't actually the Predator's ship? It was like an intergalactic bus?

I mean, it's not terrible.
Just really wanna see that tribal look back.

The predators didn't actually name it the ark did they?
Quote from: echobbase79 on Jun 02, 2017, 12:17:35 AM
I'm thinking maybe the Lost Tribe could've possibly designed it that way.
I like the look of the ship from that picture. There was some nice descriptions of the design in the script.

I'll check on it later. It was really talked about at the end of the scriptSpoiler

Booooo.
Bring back the steamy Aztec vibe from P2. One of the most interesting alien spaceship interiors and it's been replaced ever since with generic sci-fi.

Ohh no you didnt! Is as good as the first one, only that the direction is not and so it seems like a worse movie, which it is but it doesnt suck either, if it was directed by Mctiernan too (did i spelled his name right?) with the exact same script it would better and be as loved as the first one today, though i love both
Quote from: Corporal Hicks on Jun 01, 2017, 02:26:18 PMIt's not in the drafts, it was just an idea the writers had. Pretty sure the script for Predator never actually mentions the ship at the very beginning -- the shooting draft starts with the helicopters arriving at the beach.Quote from: Johnny Handsome on Jun 01, 2017, 01:21:21 PM

That's what I was thinking. That sounded like a pretty interesting concept. Would have been curious to see more of that.
Quote from: SpeedyMaxx on Jun 02, 2017, 01:43:28 AMlol. You do realize that the new script is straight dumb nonsense and is a lot crazier than P2... Right? It makes predator 2 look "subtle".Quote from: SiL on Jun 01, 2017, 10:33:33 AM

I mean, it's not actually properly lit, etc. in these stills. There's no telling how it looks on film.

Quote from: SpeedyMaxx on Jun 02, 2017, 01:43:28 AMSomehow I don't think the lighting is going to transform smooth, burnished steel into glowing bas-relief columns...

Looks like a set from Blake's 7 :-/
Quote from: VanXant on Jun 10, 2017, 05:54:48 PM
because Blake's 7 only had that one set, right?
Yeah, ok.
