To me, especially because the Lost Predator ship is presented as biomechanical in origin, I like to speculate that it once was some sort of giant eye, now hollowed, and we're inside looking out.

Unfortunately, there has really nothing been made known that I can find about that antechamber ceiling. It's been a bit frustrating, even if this ambiguity was always intentional. And whenever the late Larry Paull was interviewed, it was always about Blade Runner, Blade Runner, Blade Runner (understandably) and then Back to the Future. His work on the Lost Predator Ship remains, for the most part, a hidden gem.

Interesting! So did the first versions released in cinemas have an unfinished feel to them or were they scenes less important to the story?
Stephen Hopkins revealed that what premiered in November was his very first working cut of #Predator2. Hopkins also divulged that, had he been given more time, he may have had edited the film entirely different in retrospect. 6 DAYS TO GO! #30DaysFor30Years #KevinPeterHall pic.twitter.com/qda0pyzbfi

5 DAYS TO GO! #Predator2's world premiere was held at the Avco Center Cinemas in Westwood, California on November 19th, 1990. Director Stephen Hopkins' date that night was actress Lucinda Weist, who played one of the news reporters in the film. #30DaysFor30Years #StephenHopkins pic.twitter.com/aJVA8PHUoW

Nearly five months after the #Predator2 world premiere, Predator actor Kevin Peter Hall sadly died from an AIDS/HIV related illness contracted from a contaminated blood transfusion several months before. He was 35. 4 more days to go. #30DaysFor30Years #Predator #KevinPeterHall pic.twitter.com/AMhw71CPN1

3 MORE DAYS TO GO! While #Predator2 opened well at the box office, it finished with a disappointing 57 million worldwide, 41 million less than #Predator. Many analysts, including Hopkins himself, blamed much of the film's poor showing on the absence of Arnold. #30DaysFor30Years pic.twitter.com/7H9tIx4qPD

The 1715 Raphael Adolini pistol that was tossed to Detective Mike Harrigan was supposed to set up a third possible Jim and John Thomas Predator film that unfortunately never came to be, due to Predator 2's struggling box office receipts. 2 MORE DAYS TO GO! #30DaysFor30Years pic.twitter.com/FUfaWF3Hhn

ONLY 1 MORE DAY TO GO! Throughout the past 30 years, thanks to home video and television broadcasts, Predator 2 has attracted a huge fan following that believes the sequel was severely underrated and is a wonderful counterpart to the 1987 original film. #30DaysFor30Years pic.twitter.com/J4InmOO5qf

It seems to still get a lot of flak but I still really like Predator 2. It's the best Predator sequel in my opinion. It's just the era that it was made. You wouldn't be able to pull it off nowadays.
Happy 30th Anniversary.

Thanks Voodoo! Awesome stuff! I'll have to take my time and dig into this stuff tonight.

I'm not sure if it has already been posted (apologies if it has) but some interesting little factoids in this interview.
One of those original cuts turning up would be priceless. Are there any descriptions of the actual cut death scenes out there?

Good damn it Voodoo, You outdid yourself ! The comics is great, very climactic and the script I'll take my time to read. What I'm most happy and most grateful are those storyboards. Thanks man. You are a living Legend.

Thanks for posting Marc. We hoped there would be 30th Anniversary interviews out there. Our hope was our #30Daysfor30Years social media celebration might inspire one to happen.
Anything cut would likely be in the shooting script we posted! :)

Aw man, you're way too kind Master. But I appreciate it! Really, really do. Thanks for the nice words. I just really wanted to make the 30th Anniversary special. Who knew that it would all be outdone by a wonderful new Predator movie announcement! It couldn't have gone better!

Still almost as good as the original. Every other shit sequel pales in comparison.
