"The Predator" is getting a Zavvi exclusive 4K/Blu-ray Steelbook release (https://www.steelbookbluray.com/eagerly-awaited-sci-fi-action-sequel-the-predator-is-getting-a-zavvi-exclusive-4k-blu-ray-steelbook-release/)
QuoteNormally HMV bring us the UK exclusives on new Fox releases, but this time Zavvi have bagged the honours, and pre-orders are live right now.
Final art and release date are still TBC, but here's hoping Fox stick with this one, as it look spot on. This release will include the movie on 4K and Blu-ray discs.

Fast release... was to be expected.
Would probably make more money if it was dumped on netflix.
Yeesh. That is fast. Still planning on buying it regardless of its silliness. The collection must be completed :'(
Not on 3D dvd?
Well if this isn't the biggest bag over the head...
Please throw home release related stuff up in the Blu-ray/DVD board. I've already made a post for the UK stuff.

I think I might pull a Huggs and wait for the DVD. So in that respect, it probably works to our advantage :) There is a good chance that watching it at home might change the perspective a little. Flaws might not show up as overtly as on the big screen.
That's almost as fast as Logan came out on home video.
I've got the Best Buy steelbook on preorder.

Common practice these days.
Ordered the regular blu ray this morning.
No AVP or AVPR as predictable.
8 Discs?
Predator- 4K & Blu-ray
Predator 2- 4K & Blu-ray
Predators- 4K & Blu-ray
The Predator- 4K & Blu-ray
No "Anthology" Disc(s) then.
No listings for Blu Ray 3D yet :s
Don't have a Blu-Ray player and DVD is redundant so I will download this.......via SKY-TV store ofc. ::)
Actually would be interesting to see if Cable set-box downloads see an end to home media sales.
f**k, I hope not.
Steelbooks, 4K and special features for life.
Yeah, even with the rise of digital I think it's going to be a long, long time before you seen physical media phased out for movies. People like to build libraries and have that sense of ownership.

Nothing beats a physical copy. Guaranteed picture quality, plays with no internet, doesn't have to be downloaded, can't be dropped by a streaming service, ect. It's right there when you need it, all day long.
Damn... Was hoping for a boxset that included AVP and AVPR as I'm yet to own them on blu ray.
Purchase them separately, they won't ever be in a new boxset with the other films.
Extras according to a member of Blu-ray.com who has access to early home release details:
Special Features:
- Deleted Scenes (6:45 minutes)
- Little Black (10:22 minutes)
- Evolution of the Predator (20:05 minutes)
- Hunting the Predator (9 minutes)
^ Hmm. Was hoping for some sort of director's cut. At least we have some deleted scenes. I wonder if they are ancillary to the original emissary Predator cut.

I honestly never expect to see any sort of extensive restored cut.
Quote from: Keyes on Oct 23, 2018, 07:43:11 PM- Deleted Scenes (6:45 minutes)
Considering the final 3rd act of the movie was reshot (and key scenes missing) I was expecting 30-40 minutes.
6.45 wouldn't cover deleted scenes from the original cut.

Yeah exactly. The effects weren't even finished a point raised by LittleJimmy who said THE PREDATOR was a "death by focus group/don't judge a film's final cut based on a work-in-progress work-print".
Despite cringing at the sight of emissary predators atop of an APC, in an ill-advised predator/human team-up (Lex and Scar got a bad rap despite us at AVP-GALAXY knowing why this was allowed) I still have a morbid curiosity of what Shane Black's original crazy vision was like.
Being an effects heavy movie I too doubt they'll spend any cash finishing and re-editing the scenes back in due to budget costs. Not to mention 20th Century Fox didn't even allow an AVP-R colour correction Blu-Ray.
Yeah when I hoped for a director's cut, I never expected the original emissary Predator cut (even though I'd love to see it, even unfinished). However, I did hope for a few inserted scenes director's cut to boost the narrative.
---
As expected, the first glimpse of the all 4 movie collection:
(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.afbeeldinguploaden.nl%2F1810%2F486243%2FziCqmxXu.jpg&hash=d03bff25df62b7ae60d09bf2e7bbe36972568a2d)
I wasn't expecting a director's cut, there was too much tinkering right up to the last minute for it to have been re-assessed for that.
I will be delighted if the Emissary Predators footage is part of the deleted scenes, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were instead more character moments and extended scenes. As for the original 3rd act in daylight, I'm sure way too much of it is absent of the Upgrade Predator CGI to be worthwhile for inclusion.
I wonder how Shane Black's first cut would have played for better or worse. He sounded quite beat up by the end of the process.
I think these scenes will exclusively relate to the final version we got in cinemas. I imagine one will be the scene where Lynch wins the Winnebago in a game of cards.

Yeah, I don't think they'll let us see the Emissary stuff. :'(
What a waste.
Really poor show from Fox for the home releases of Covenant and this. :(
Definitely no director's cut. The runtime on the sets are 107 minutes.
I am Tuned for the steelbook 8) hopefully it arrives in Germany on December to :P
I hate when a cut of a movie is lost forever, like the John McTiernan cut if Eaters of the Dead
Easy pass.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/19102018_01.jpg)
This film has been a disaster, even toward the bitter end. I feel bad about Shane and his crew. I think Shane had this idea he thought was really cool and would have revolutionized the Franchise. However, in reality, it was extremely flawed and, most importantly, immature. I can understand this error. When I was in high school I wrote an Alien script. I thought it was fantastic and innovative. Five years later I look back and see it as a highly flawed work. I don't know all the details of how Shane was given the rights to write and make a predator film but it seems that the script was made in around a month time. I think Fox gave him a time limit to submit an idea and Shane, being in love with predator, didn't want to take the chance that he would not be the chosen director. Thus he got something finished in a month or two and submitted it to Fox. From my own personal experience and what I have seen in the industry, writing a good script takes a lot of time and a lot of research. A good example of this is Blade Runner 2049. The film took a couple of years to write and make yet it was incredible and won oscars.
Thank god its not the complete list. I wasnt happy
Hoping for the best then.

While I appreciate special features, as long as I get the movie, I'm good. I would've liked to have seen the original final act though. Having both cuts would've been really cool.

But the alternative cut would have had "scene missing" cards, unedited takes, missing or incomplete CGI (sans a guy in a ping pong ball Velcro suit stand in). The scenes suggested would only make sense in post-production.
People do not know what a "work print" looks like.

I guess I wasn't specific enough. By both cuts, I mean both versions of the film, totally finished. It's obvious that's not going to happen, but it would've been nice if it had.

Is that fan-made? I did a google reverse and couldn't find any official links.
That and it looks tacky.
If fox wants to make the blueray hit, they have to include the original 3rd act, regardless of VFX worries.
No it's an advert targeted for retailers. It's not for mass consumption.
And I doubt there is a single fan out there who would find excitement in creating one of these, lol. ;D

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.
For a Marvel or Star Wars film? Maybe. But I doubt anyone is doing that for this movie :D

I like THE PREDATOR en all, but I could knock that flyer up in 30 minutes using GIMP* (*free Photoshop).
With all that lettering and graphics. I call sooooo bullsh*t.
Go ahead. I'll time you.
And don't cut and paste the retail information from this into your fan made flier! :P
Been 40 minutes.... :P
I liked the cover with the predator spine more, but I suppose that's too graphic. Don't care much for the cover in the flyer. Looks like the predator has "big head mode" activated.
Shame that it's not releasing until December.

QuoteLOS ANGELES, CA – The hunt for the perfect holiday gift is over. The universe's greatest hunter returns in The Predator on Digital and Movies Anywhere November 27 and 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™ and DVD December 18. Fans can bring home a special edition Predator 4-Movie Collection, which includes Predator, Predator 2, Predators and The Predator on 4K Ultra HD™ and Blu-ray.
The hunt has evolved – and so has the explosive action – in the next chapter of the Predator series, from director Shane Black (Iron Man 3). Now, the most lethal hunters in the universe are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before....and only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and an evolutionary biology professor can prevent the end of the human race.
With the special edition Predator 4-Movie Collection, fans can experience four times the terror with a killer collection of action-packed Predator movies, plus four collector cards of the original film poster re-issue with some of the franchises most iconic quotes on the back. In Predator, Arnold Schwarzenegger wages an all-out war against an extraterrestrial that hunts humans for sport. Then in Predator 2, Danny Glover battles the fearsome creature in the urban jungle of Los Angeles. In Predators Adrien Brody leads a group of elite warriors on an alien planet targeted by a new Predator breed. Finally, in The Predator, Boyd Holbrook discovers that the most lethal hunters in the universe are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever.

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.
Ah, I didn't know that. Thanks for explaining!

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.

Well, I'm certainly not too impressed with the details so far. Seems pretty bare. The lack of commentary is just... ??? I suppose Black and Dekker are probably sick of this film by now.

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 was really very curious if Shane was going to do a commentary on this garbage. There's just no defending this nonsense

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.

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.

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 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! ;D
And just a reminder, we don't support that kind of thing here. Discussion of it is also not allowed.
Bluray.com now has it on the front page for December 18th U.S.
Honestly can't believe ,anyone would want to buy it. Worst movie,this year. Side note Halloween was good.
Halloween was weak. Don't see what all the hype is about. I do agree that the predator was such trash I don't see even hardcore fans like myself justifying a purchase. And I own both avps. Shane and fred should retire from screen writing. This was just a huge slap in the face.

Boo, I though that was the UK release too! Oh well, I guess it's not that much of a wait.

Won't know for sure until it's released. I'm UK so Region B is fine for me. With Fox releases, it's hit or miss as to whether they bother to region code them or not.

I believe 3D is still very popular in China so we're also likely to get a Region Free released from there.

QuoteI dunno if it's regionally blocked or just blocked but that's hilarious. Can anyone else get on?
Nope. In the U.S. and have the same problem. :-\
Yeah its saying its blocked because its the property of FOX.
Those clay models just on the still on that video are way better than the final product. Actually makes me with ADI got to do the whole concept, and the armor wasn't pawned off an another company.
The Predator hound there also has those "thorns" the hounds had in "Predators"
it almost looks like a different breed of the same creature.
& It doesn't have dreadlocks, so that's a plus- the Upgrade seems to have Freddy Krueger hands though.
But the Wristblades he's adorned with are very much the aesthetic of the original Predator.
Yeah, I'm liking ADi's hound better and their sketches of the scientist predators are cool. I think they might have done a better job design wise if their were let to do the whole thing.
Whoever ruined the third act of this movie by complaining about it being to funny..forced reshoots... I do not think you are worthy of being a judge for fox. I really would have liked to have scene the real movie.
I'm leaning towards Fox saved the movie from being a total disaster, and a devastating blow to the Predator lore, to be honest.
This should have been in the book, but likely got omited when the whole subplot was dropped...

I had no problem with the designs. I think the movie would have been the same no matter who did the creature effects.

Yeah, I'm really disappointed by the lack of coverage of this particular part of the behind-the-scenes too. Hopefully ADI'll have some good videos up on the subject.
stan winston's designs are atleast twice as good as anything since his work on the predator. Everything not made by him and his studio is just an imitation of a great design. The last time i saw a proper predator was the elder at the end of p2. All down hill from then on.
Wish we could have had those clay models used more as the overall looks for the Upgrade, Predator dogs even (because this clay model is basically the same as the movie, but no dreads and the horns around the head are a great homage to the Predators hounds as being a separate breed) & that other predator on the right is a nice replica of the City Hunter more or less.
But still come on, ADI put in a lot of detail and creativeness with some of the material shown in that 1min video preview so far. It's still such a shame that not more was utilized from what we're seeing here! >:| At this point, I can get over the weak and diasspointing storyline that The Predator went with, but I really wished for more practical effects and new Predator designs and material...the Fugitive had a great time on screen, which is annoying why more wasn't done with him & the Upgrade should have been more of a mix with this clay model/movie version, BUT he needed practical on-screen shots to really sell the Upgrade. Oh well, still looking forward to the DVD and the extras to see more of whatever else there could have been.

Truly. Especially with regards to the Upgrade, the clay models seem to paint a more palatable picture. Some of the designs that they came up with would have been a good addition to the film. Makes me curious as to why Fox chose to go the direction they did with the visuals. In the podcast, it's mentioned that the studios can get scared (for lack of a better word) if the changes are too drastic. The models in the video seem fairly tame compared to what we got in the movie, so it's interesting that they went with the more drastic looks. Either way I'm really curious to see what's all on the disc :)
id love to see another book dedicated to the concept arts, from sketches to practical effects etc. I have the other adi books and now the making of the predator but it still could do with a lot more drawings and models etc. shown, even if they didn't make the movie. these designs are great.
I just prefer Stan's design. He is the Parent of the design and he made it what it is along with kevin hall.
He is Elvis and everything since is the vegas strip. Hence the mouth never being as nice when it is closed then in the first two movies..
Just should have had the clan at the end of p.2 go off and hunt aliens as a movie.
Has anyone watched the extras yet??
Is there after credit stuff?
I stopped it right after "42 tall".
Which he is totally a regular fit based on his body type.
I bought the predator asap at midnight and enjoyed it . But i just wanted to see the other version as an extra, And that was not an option. one of the predators cut is kind of purple.
The movie is very flawed but i still enjoy it .
Bought it through amazon digital and unfortunately that doesn't have the extras. But I'll be getting the BluRay anyway. I enjoyed the home viewing experience though.
The extras are nothing special. It leaves you wanting to see the unfinished third act.
Are the deleted scenes on the digital download?
Yes. And they are a dissapointment.
Still glad i Bought it but yep.
None on mine, got it from amazon.
Bought mine on appletv. You are missing nothing.
So the purple one is in the extras or deleted scene?
The purple is just in a behind the scenes shot. No acting involved. The deleted scenes have no predators or action. Just talking and not about anything really interesting.

Good read. I'm happy the blu-ray received high points in video and audio quality... no detriments to find (other than one someone has with the film itself). I plan on checking out the additional features myself tonight.

Finally I will have a chance to see this. With all the negativity surrounding the film I'm going in with super low expectations which hopefully means I will enjoy the film...

Why waste your time? The only thing that would have been worst than this, or at least the same level, would have been that bumkamp fan pander he tried to get made.

Why waste your time?
The same reason I watched it. I had heard and read everything that was awful about it. But sometimes, seeing is believing. There is always a hope that everyone else is wrong, or has failed to see something good in it. That there might be a few things I would enjoy.
I had a basic understanding of what I was in for, and I put my expectations underneath the floor. It didn't help. What I saw blew my expectations straight into the ground and all the way to China. But, someone else might like it. If I hadn't watched it for myself yet, I'd still be wondering if I was missing out on something. I cant blame others for wanting to know.
I dont trust any review that does not automatically say that this is one of the worst movies of the year.

I don't trust any reviews, other than those done by AVPGalaxy. Even then, I still have to see for myself.
The movie was crap on the big screen. Nothing is gonna change when it's on Blu-Ray. Add as many "special features" as you want.
It was crap then, it's re-packaged crap now.
Literally no buzz about this film 2 weeks after it was released. No one cares about this forgettable film.
Worst movie this year.
Was there a single person on here who liked this film?? Come on, have some balls.
I don't hate it. It's entertaining in parts. Does that count?
There are some scenes I like to watch I wont lie.
That being said, there's a whole lot I feel that could have been changed or done differently to make the movie better.
I enjoyed it, saw it twice in the theater and the bluray 4k version last night, there , I said it! Haha ;D
I will even be purchasing a second copy if I can find a region 3D disc on the secondary market.

I liked parts of it very much. Mainly the fugutive killing everyone in the lab.
I did not care for the kid or the lead actor very much or olivia munn knowing everything over and over out loud.
I would have had more of the loonies killing other people to survive instead of going after the fugitive predator.
The sniper who got his arm blown off just kind of dissapears after shooting a flare.
Also they wasted use of a great parcore athelete by not having him do cool flips or atleast more then running and walking.
I was really looking forward to seeing him show off his moves in a predator outfit.
I think the predator actor was the best part.
I don't hate the film, just wished they didn't mess with the lore.
I think a bluray are region free, arnt they? I bought a europeon lion king and it works fine.

I felt the same with avpr, I didn't like the that much as a whole but liked all the scenes with wolf. I'd like to see more predator scenes with them talking and interacting with each other. In the original he was just the monster but now I'd like to see more predator characters.

Everyone should always be allowed to make up their own mind.
No good extras, no buy.

Not always. Case in point I couldn't purchase the Zavvi UK disc of "Terminator 2: 3D" because it was region specific, so I ultimately purchased a Russian copy.
Why a 3D disc was never released in the US while the whole point of T2's theatrical re-release was its 3D conversion, is beyond me.
Blu Rays have regions, but much fewer than DVDs did. I think there's only A B and C for BR regions.
Acquire a Region-Free Blu-ray Player.
Solved.

3D players are a whole different type of blu-ray animal. Just like standard blu-ray players can't run 4K discs, standard blu-ray players can't run 3D discs either.
But considering the 3D format is all but dead in the US, I definitely would like to avoid locating and purchasing a region-free 3D Blu-ray player when the format is already on life-support (which definitely saddens me since I'm a fan of the format. :'()
I think you're best giving up
on the format then.
4K's 3D's replacement.
I own precisely one 3D blu-ray, and that's only because the unrated cut of The Wolverine was only available in that set. And it's not even on the 3D disc. :laugh:

But 4K and 3D are really Apples and Oranges. One is just an improvement in clarity and resolution and the latter is more emmersive with its illusion of depth perception
I must tell you though, there is no substitute for watching a well made 3D film on a flat HD screen at home. Of course it puts low lit badly 3D converted theaters to shame, but it even bests IMAX Theaters. The crisp 3D adds so much, I don't believe I could watch "Avatar" or "Guardians of the Galaxy" the 2D way again. The wonder is real. :)

Yep, the 3D version is a separate disc. ;D
Here's my The Predator Bluray review: https://www.avpgalaxy.net/predator-movies/predator-4/blu-ray-review/
Glad to hear the release is good on the technical side. I'm still disappointed about the features on this (and Covenant) but that's unfortunately where we're at. :/ Surprised to hear you liked the film as much as you did.
It wasn't that different from your take on the film. I just think it could have been so much worse and as a one-off entry, it was decent enough.
I've started to hate it more and more over the last few months. :'(

I know that feeling man. I wanted to like this so bad but as soon as the credits began I knew this was a disaster.
I've never seen this in theatres. I bought the Blu-ray and watched it.... only once.
You know those times when you go into a film with lowered expectations because all the reviews are bad, and you end up really liking the film, because you were expecting something much worse? This isn't one of those.

I still can have fun with it. And I can watch Sterling K. Brown as Traeger all day. But beer is a recommend accompaniment for maximum enjoyment.
Maximum tolerability. lol
Yep! Like I do everytime I watch Van Helsing! ;)

Oh boy, wait for our AvP Requiem commentary. I am going to be hammered.
Really? That will be cool to listen! Your "boo" on every RidgeTop's mention of AVPR always makes me smile. :)
I think alcohol is the only way to make the cinematography in Requiem worse.

Not just me. Huggsy. RidgeTop. Vermillion when inebriated. Local when given a choice to watch AvPR or Alien Resurrection.
Maybe it's time Hicks gets on the unrated blu-ray AvPR train too!

I do actually own it. I finally brought it not long before we had Liam on the podcast.
Oh I can't wait for that. But perhaps an inebriated commentary for The Predator should be next on the list. Though with that one I think we'll all be on the same page about our feelings on it.
Just needs booking in, brother.

Truthfully, I'm no fan of AvP:R, but I'm still capable of enjoying Huggs and Voodoo's company . . .
And please don't be hammered when we do a podcast together because I'm not ready for that responsibility. :P :D

The Predator is very very trashy movie I agree on that. But I think putting it on the same level with AVPR is a little undeserved. Just a bit.
Yah, it's above AVPR.
