A new The Predator picture tomorrow / Monday on EMPIRE's website? Or what?

Maybe new materilas too (besides the picture)...

It'll be in the magazine. We'll probably get an online version a few weeks down the line.

Still there.

So, the Captured has the "regular" plasmacaster just on his right shoulder.
It seems they ignored the mask-mounted hidden mini plasmacaster idea written in the script.

Loving the Samurai esque skirt.
Dark Blade Clan anyone?

Really looks fantastic from that angle. 

What's that on his right leg? Disc?

---

Thanks for the picture Johnny

I think it's just armor on his leg.

Im digging the look so far. I know some would say this predator doesn't look tall enough. Remember the last scene in predator 2? We got introduced to short Predators as well :)

Yeah, it's a fella who tweeted it to us. Will be posting shortly. Getting a lot more of that samurai vibe in this one.

Loving the suit design so far. Yup brings to mind this particular set report and interview with the costume designer:

http://www.denofgeek.com/us/movies/the-predator/273522/the-predator-reinventing-the-myth-on-the-set

QuoteWhen Trish Monaghan shows us the new armor she's designed for the Predator, for instance, it has a medieval quality to its design, as if it belongs to a ritualized order of knights. One element she is particularly proud of is his new armor his back-flap, evoking feudal Japan.

"It's a bit Samurai, so it was able to cover, so he wasn't too exposed," she says of how it covers some of the musculature in the legs while still showcasing the familiar shape of what Schwarzenegger memorably deemed to be "one ugly motherf**ker."

Love it

So cool, love it.

Peculiar, doesn't seem like he's wearing a mask.

I hope small detiles about predator are in, like pressure tubes attatched to mask.

Beautiful ! I love the design ! Indeed he doesn't look that tall from that angle. But maybe that's what it is, an angle problem.

Yes he seems to have his mask off.

And to think that recently some people said this looked like a cosplay costume  :laugh:

Jeez, i swear sometimes people really don't know what they are talking about and don't seem grounded enough to form relevant opinions.

Unless that's praise for really good cosplay that does exist.

Bigdaddyjohn ... couldn't put it better myself , some people are just boring and can't accept new ideas , it's as if they just enjoy hating on something for the sake of it ain't it ? Anyway I love the design , and it looks completely legit imo  ;D

Love it! Slowly slowly starting liking new design. Also I think actor not tall like Kevin but, this is just photo from the set, I mean they can totally fool people in movie with height differences, like Green Mile. Also if he does happenes to be shorter, thats not a big problem for me) Predator 2 had plenty short predators  ;)

Indeed it does exist, but nowhere near the quality of a big movie costume, that's when the grounded part comes in, you have to be just a little grounded to realize and admit that fact.

Exactly and that just goes to show that not all Predators are tall. Some people seem to have a problem with that and when they do, I tell them to re-watch predator 2 lol

So female predators confirmed in this movie? Neat.

I think the design is nice, not superb like from the first 2 movies, but good.

I miss the trophies though. The little things that made preds the way they were. Maybe some folks were right about this design being too "clynical"

Staying positive though  :)

I hope so 8)  (though I have my doubts)

Either way, male or female, the suit looks awesome. 

That suit design looks way too real to me. This movie is trash.  I mean, why can't they just come up with a new stupid design.  Amateurs....smh. ;)

Looking badass , this will be awesome on the IMAX

Definitely getting a "female" vibe from that Pred...

Rankles75 - Heal your eyes bro

Doesn't look like it has a wrist computer/self-destruct on it's Left arm either.

So this has to be Captured Pred and that would imply the story has changed somewhat from the leaked script - given the interaction with McKenna.

As, IIRC, this isn't what happens when they first meet.

Definitely getting a female - pred vibe from that photo.  I think that "breastplate" from the side view supports that.

WOWEE GE YOU GUIZE THIS STAGED PROMO SHOT RELEASED BY THE STUDIO SURE HAS CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT THE AWFUL STORYLINE (THEY DID A FEW DAYS OF RESHOOOOOTTTSS) TERRIBLE COMPUTER EFFECTS, QUESTIONABLE ACTING AND LITERALLY E ERY SINGLE PIECE OF NEW INFORMATION RELEASED ABOUT THIS MOVIE INDICATING IT'S GOING TO SUCK MORE THAN A STRAUS BROTHER IN A TRUCK STOP BATHROOM

PEOPLE WITH THE STANDARDS AND BASIC PATTERN RECOGNITION ARE JUST BIG DUMB STUPID MEANY HEADS WHO CAN'T ACCEPT THE GENIUS VISION OF SHANE BLACK AMIRITE GUISZE?

It... oh to hell with it. She is also wearing armor that sure as hell resembles a skirt!

I mean it's looking pretty obvious. The predator species have ladies.

Lol at the ridiculous obsession with a female Predator. There's also way Fox or that flabby hack Shane Black would introduce a AWESOME KICKASS FEMALE PREDATOR DEAL WITH IT YOU BIGOTS and then kill xir off at the hands of Indominus Predarex.

That ain't no boob. It's his breast plate from the shoulder cannon. Not to mention Captured is referred to as a "he" by the government agents that have him strapped to a table nearly naked.

So this predators weekly workout routine is surely...

Monday - chest
Tuesday- chest
Wednesday - chest
Thursday - chest
Friday - chest
Saturday - hunt
Sunday - bowling night

I mean those are some serious pecs on such a tiny frame.

UPGRADERULZ!,  no.  Anyone who disagrees with this film's ambitions are not "BIG DUMB STUPID MEANY HEADS". These individuals to which you speak of,  simply only want to regurgitate the past over and over due to the fact that it is familiar. Familiarization is not a bad thing at All!   Although, tweaking something, based on the overall performance of any entity from years past, only allows said entity to blossom into something far greater than anything before it. On occasion, yes ....WORSE than what came before it.  Everyone comes here to agree or disagree with a decision that was made by someone else.  I know that every single one of you will watch this movie regardless.  However, the ones you speak of will predominantly watch an illegal copy for free.  Most of them WILL enjoy the film,  despite their greatest efforts to resist the splendor.  This will cause "The Predator" to fail.  Every FAN of PREDATOR HAS to buy a movie ticket.  If we do not, we (NOPL) shall suffer greatly due to the "bad blood" pretentious attitudes that tend to ruin films and franchises long before their big day in the sun.  Give this film a chance, and pay for it. Please.  The "N.O.P.L." thanks you.

It might be female (doubtful, but changing the gender in the script is just adding an "s" in front of the "he"), but I don't think it's side boob.  It's more than likely something to do with the shoulder canon.

Yeah, it's a dude. That's just armor plating and the Predator's posture is slightly down and turned so it's jutting out.

It's a dudebro.

Yep - I think if we were getting females, we would have been told by now.

If we were getting females we'd have much more apparent rounded boobage and a pred-a-da-ka-donk.

(https://i.imgur.com/laqb1an.jpg)

Just because I can never imagine the female predator idea being done subtle.

Predator new design is too clean and space looking. Doesn't look tribal enough, with the bones, skulls and animal hide kilt missing. I kinda favor the primitive look and minimal tech look from Predator, Predator 2, and Predators. 

Well if it is male... is it a kid/teen predator? Because it looks undersized to what we normally see.

For the movies, I can see them going that route  :-\  Unless they follow some of the comics/novels where there's no obvious dimorphism.  But for the movies they'd probably exaggerate the differences like that.  Ridiculous, but she does have a killer core!  (Must be the pilates)

The two things that make me think it resembles a female is because of how covered up and small it is (though granted, P2 showed us the different sizes.  The AVP novels, if we're taking them into consideration, also talk about how adults can be short/tall/etc.)  Idk, we haven't been really given any indication that it's a she, so it's probably safe to assume it's a he.  Possible that it's just a smaller guy.

I actually like that design, all i'd change is the breasts. Everything else says "female" to me. You don't need the boobs. Just have very subtle softer bumps there, if anything.

Predators to me are like a biped evolved Monitor. You can't tell gender easily on reptillian creatures at all.

Go big or go home, I say.

Everyone gettin caught up because of the chest armor when there is an obvious bulge in the nether regions.

Maybe pred females have really weird organs down there...
JK  :laugh:

it doesn't seem feminine to me, also the legs are not that thin, it's the angle.

I really hope there won't be to separate sexes presented on the pred side. All we know so far that we have seen one, it should be better kept that way.

Man, this whole time until release is a huge emotional rollercoaster.

Captured appears to be in the beginning stages of "Steinerism". Poor chap's got gap.

Is that eye liner on the predator eyebrow region? Also that cod piece screams Sean Connery in Zardoz. I mean holy shit it's an epic cod piece. Now female predator aside, does this confirm that Predators have junk?

Being serious though, I really think the predator in the other picture is indeed female. The entire shot is very suggestive.

IDK I just googled Zardoz.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯



As far as male versus female goes: As reptilian as some of their features are, they also have some very humanoid characteristics... Plus I doubt they lay eggs... hypothetically speaking. So I'm not apposed to the concept of females being more slender in shape (and taller) or even having breasts, just don't make them so ridiculously huge to where its tasteless.

This is probably my favorite design. Even without breasts it would look badass.
(https://i.imgur.com/KLqScQL.jpg)

You guys have never heard of Zardoz? Well that's not surprising.

However Predator's laying eggs? Wow that would be very reptilian. Be funny if it was the male that had to take care of the kids. Hunting and killing humans is the only chance they have to get their frustrations out. And those skull trophies, play things for the kiddies.

aww man covering such lovely pred ass iust just not on!! lol

i will def be seeing it quite a few times on the big screen im just there to see some sexy pred action, i'm buying a book of movie money, you save off the regular price so I will be paying at least ten times....
i have mixed feelings about the upgrade predaor it looks kinda ridicuk,ous and ive never been a fan of GMO etc so im not likingh what thyre doing here messing with genes! Oh well one can only hope for a better movie sometijme in the future..not holding my breath though

Sorry my English.  :(

I mean - any more stills from who tweeted it to us:

It's just the one new picture. It's a 2 page spread with the other half being Munn pointing a gun at it. I'll upload it in a second.

Pretty good!  :o

I really start liking new texture they adding to the dreadlocks, I mean on some photos they did look quastionable, but with good lighting they look NIIIICE!

I'll try and get it in a better size of Fox when the exclusivity period has run out.

Hicks what do you think about trailers, are we going to get new 2 min trailers soon?

I think it'll be July before we see another full trailer. I think the recent TV spot was pushed out in response to the lukewarm reactions to the teaser trailer.

Definitely, they pretty much took the feedback and created the new trailer = No kid, lots of Predator action.

I won't watch another trailer though, up until now, everything had the perfect tease, but because the first trailer didn't show much and wasn't that well received, they will spoil the shit in the second one, we'll probably gonna see everything they have in store in order to lure people in.

That's a damn shame to be honest, everyone is bitching about trailers spoiling movies, yet, when a teaser is really a teaser, everyone is yelling "lame!".

Sometimes, but just sometimes, i hate people.

Johnny Handsome Agree with you Sir!

That's a damn shame to be honest, everyone is bitching about trailers spoiling movies, yet, when a teaser is really a teaser, everyone is yelling "lame!".

Sometimes, but just sometimes, i hate people.

Or could it be that the Pred takes the mask off, for some reason?

This definitely wasn't in the script, IIRC; so I'm taking the re-writes/re-shoots to be a good thing.

Not happy with GM ChadPred or the kid being: A) In it,  and B) (Pretty much) the focal point; but I feel a lot better having seen this, I have to say.

Don't think anything will ever hit the highs of P1 (which is where I think a lot of the butthurt toward this installment comes from, being brutally honest) but I think it'll be an 'okay' watch - like Predators was.

Most of the butthurt comes form various dum dums like supermutant predator and his bunch of freaks and making autism a super power.

Can we stop with the phrasing "butt hurt" and "hate" ?

Are we really at the point where critical opinion = butthurt/hate?

He's not wearing anything at all. It's a persons face there, which leads me to believe they were probably testing for the stunt.

We see this same shot in both trailers, he's wearing his mask there.

Definitely testing and rehersing scene.

More of this please. These types of ''fans'' deserve to be taken down a peg or two.

Just deleted a few posts. I know not everyone will like (or have already made their minds up about it) the movie and that's 100% fine. What I will not tolerate is any sort of "you're not a fan if you enjoy this" or "you're not a fan if you don't like this" kind of rubbish. This is not IMDB. You will treat others in this fandom with some respect. If you're not mature enough to do that, you wont be coming on here on doing it.

Not exactly sure where I insinuated that hicks. I was legitimately concerned Larry might get into trouble for speaking disrespectfully to a possible paying customer. If I said something out-of-turn without realizing it, then I do indeed apologize.

Twas regarding the guest but directed at all and since I was removing that post, I removed yours too since yours was in reply.

The customer isn't always right.

Right/wrong isn't the be-all-end-all of it. It's how people behave that I care about. We're not children.

It's interesting how it's often guests that are aggressive towards others, wonder why...

Ugh, I forgot about that one. He stuck out so bad when I first saw that scene. :D

Honestly I like that he's there. I love that wide stance he has, he's trying to make himself look bigger.

I bet he's got a Joe Pesci short-man's complex up the ass and is always trying to over compensate in the group.

Him trying to make himself look tough next to the others is like a man trying to act tough while holding his wife's purse. lol

There's also a fair share of short predators in the comics and novels (more along the AVP side of things), if those hold any weight.

Is Kevin Hart available for a Boar sidequel?

That Predator in the picture is still at least a full head above the man and that's a predator head.

No doubt we'll also get some movie magic to make it seem even more where need be.

I always notice with ADI that the mask doesnt seem to go up high enough on the top of the head, does anyone know if its always been like that? I noticed it in the avp films but i dont remember it being like that in predators or P1 & 2

Cool animation! And I kind of dig that he's barefoot. I think I like the idea of such stealthy hunters being able to move and climb and jump better without shoes.

it actually makes more sense that way. the mask would be perfect fit if the predator had a flat face but we all know that isn't the case!

In P1&2 almost the whole head was covered and in predators also. Liked it better that was.

Quoteit actually makes more sense that way. the mask would be perfect fit if the predator had a flat face but we all know that isn't the case!

Why? Those masks are made for a different species, their proportions should be able to meet different requests. I think it's better if more parts are covered.

The virus has spread. Even the the Predator forum isn't safe! Run for the hills and save me a thigh since I'm certain that is still a chick predator.

It's thigh fever, apparently :laugh:  Resistance is futile.

I agree by the way, I think there's still a chance it could end up being female.  The way the chest piece is laid continues to be highly suspect.  In some angles, the "pecs" are more like protrusions.  Of the breast variety.

I hope not. I really hope not, and i'm not really seeing it myself, but hey, one never knows.

I've seen a few good Predator female designs, but then they get to the chest and it's like they can't help themselves.

I keep saying look at viking women or American Indian wardrobe. That's where you can see an influence that makes sense and from that you could design a female predator that isn't a glorified sex object with a monsters head on it. I mean, Predators have big heads to begin with yet somehow some of these artists still give them boobs that rival the size of their heads. It especially doesn't make sense if you're trying to design a warrior or a hunter kind of a character. They'd have that shit taped or strapped down.


Maybe they rewrote the script so Captured and Upgrade are actually married and this whole thing is a Predator divorce settlement.

I don't see the bewbs but I guess the armor does have a funny rounded design to it. Captured's chest looks flat in the first Empire picture (not to mention the bulge...), and then the one where he/she/it has McKenna we see the chest armor silhouette.

The agent refers to Captured as a "he" in the trailer but I could totally see them having Casey make some observation that states otherwise to show up the agent... and then I'll roll my eyes.

I have definitely noticed this phenomenon :D From what we've been shown so far in the mythos, traditional Predator style is tribal, so it'd make sense to keep both sexes in line with that aesthetic.  I actually really like the idea of the females being akin to the viking women, with furs and such.  Chests definitely get in the way of certain movement (that's why leotards are so tight, to make sure nothing is moving around while you're doing jumps, etc.  Hell, that's the point of sports bras.) It would only make sense to bind if they're heading into the heat of battle and swinging from trees, roundhouse kicking.  Don't understand the fixation on the grossly disproportionate Predator females in fanart, but my inkling is that if they were to ever make an appearance on the screen, it'd probably be similar to those ::) And I'll suffer through it with one, drawn out laborious sigh.

That was horrifying  :-[

I wouldn't mind seeing a female predator on another planet or even their home world. I just think it's more the males who really take part in the hunt, but my perception is primarily due to the fact that the original writers of Predator had envisioned a brotherhood of hunters traveling the galaxies for these hunts. I'd imagine a female would only get involved if the situation were very serious or involved their baby... but of course execution is key with however they decided to depict them in a movie. Love the idea of them being draped in pelts though.

I love to think that the males completely respect their females though and act inferior when they're around.  ;D

There's (one of the only) a great scene in AVPR (I know, I said that.) Where Wolf put's his hand on the mask of a fallen comrade and he makes this... I don't know it sounds like a submissive dog mixed with a cat purring, sound... That sound is the exact sound I hear when I read this.

Precisely! They use their hunting trips to escape from their nagging, domineering women.  :laugh:

AVPR did well with Wolf's portrayal. The beginning scenes with him and then the power plant scene were the best moments, for me, from the movie.

I'm on board with that too.  I thought that scene was extra special because it actually added solid characterization to the Predator main, which imo was lacking in both AVP's.  (Also, it's good evidence that they're capable of feeling sadness and empathy.)  I hope we get some more moments like that in The Predator.

do male preds have nipples?  If not then the females probebly don't have bigger breasts, and of topic but the one in predator to had ears under his dreads.

I've never seen ears on any of the classic suits.

To answer the question, no, there are no apparent nipples on predators. That being said, I don't think they would be as apparent as human's because of their skin. Kind of like elephant nipples, which are really only noticeable on the females.

Of course if you're not a fan of the whole breastfeeding idea, there was another really good and plausible theory, made by a fan from another forum, of them feeding their young similar to birds.

So make of it what you will.

That's actually a really interesting idea, and one that's not totally far-fetched - especially if they don't breastfeed and their infancy is similar to humans.  I kind of like it, despite it being somewhat gross  :laugh: 

Predators aren't mammals. Why would they have nipples?

For me I wouldn't want many differences between males and females. And it shouldn't even be mentioned in movie, doesn't seem relevant, any of the predators so far could be either male or female, anyone can see it as they want it.

Maybe just not the ones in AVP, since they are on a manhood ritual.

They seem like a good blend of both reptile and mammal, as they possess many primate characteristics, if you ask me. Walking upright, clasping hands (with 5 digits) and their weird alien hair. It's not that implausible.

So, I'm kind of on the fence of how I want the female Predators to be portrayed, but honestly the whole mammal argument should be tossed.  This is an alien species from another planet.  If nipples do exist outside of earth, who's to say that there aren't their version of 'reptile' nipples?  Or 'fish' nipples?  Or 'crab' nipples?  If it's an alien planet, then it's possible - especially since the Predators are already semi-humanoid to begin with.  Opposable thumbs and all.

There were some pre-historic creatures that looked quite like a missing link between mammals and reptiles, it's believable, the characteristics are there as you pointed. But since they evolved on a different planet, I wouldn't want to see that many similarities with Earth's species.

Still I always imagined predators as having went through a similar evolucionary background as humans had.

I do like that picture that you posted.  I've thought about their evolutionary process in the past and have had a hard time imagining what their "Lucy" could have been.  I'm liking the little dude that's scraping his knuckles on the floor.  Not sure about samurai guy though :-X

Meh I don't see anything wrong with simple comparing and speculating on how it all would work. Had we actually found life on another planet, we would compare and contrast it to life here on Earth. It's only natural. I guess think of it like how the xenomorphs were portrayed in Aliens. Their behavior is easily comparable to that of ants/bees/wasps. Of course either (movie) species still has their alien features/characteristics that we can't completely explain- at least not without full in depth research/samples etc. But of course we don't have any of that!

But I like that pic too, pretty interesting interpretation of how their evolution could be, the two on the end are most amusing.  :D

I could easily see some form of co-evolution of the different species across the stars. Perhaps some grand evolutionary experiment.

What if the engineers seeded all planets capable of sustaining life with the exact same DNA. Given pure randomness and chance, the superior species would evolve and take over dominion. On some planets, the insect life either evolved faster or differently from earth and became the xenomorphs, which then took over. The predators would be more akin to some form of reptile or dinosaur-like creature that evolved to walk upright and subsequently dominated their planet. And of course, humanity conquered ours.

Or heck, maybe the reason we're alone in the universe is because all of those other dead planets are where the xenomorphs and species like them took over and destroyed everything. Maybe from a Ridley perspective, we're floating in a galaxy full of failed experiments. Surrounded by the remains of failed species/civilizations and their now barren worlds.

Hence the nipples. There are only so many other things left to twist once you take nipples out of the equation. Ironically, group cohesiveness is also reduced under these conditions.

Great. Now they'll have a Predator in the next novel called "T'idee T'wistr" or "T.T." for short.

Just to readdress the idea of a female Predator and how one might approach the design, I had this image on my HD. I forget wher eI found it, but it was one of the many Google hunts I went on.

Wow i think it's really good in terms of design. But my main gripe with it is that it isn't menacing enough. The tinier frame makes it less ominous, i mean it's like facing up with a man or a woman, physically the man is more intimidating because of his bigger frame obviously, aside from a few exceptions of course. It's the same here, it's a cool design but not ominous enough. I'd face that any day compared to any other preds we knew in the movies  ;D

Ah, well, see that's all in how you portray her.

Is she quick? Is she quiet? Slip into a scene like a ghost and disembowel her prey, staring them in the eyes as blood pours from between their still screaming lips. Standing atop a building like a shade or a ninja.

They could also have different sounds/calls that they make. I was thinking of this video right here:

I always wanted to see a sort of Iggy Pop predator. Trim, fast, just skin draped over muscle and tendons.

Yep, that would be freaky ina good way.

I'm just pleading for more diversity. Out of 5 sequel films, all of them recreated the classic in some way or another.

Eh... The AVP films did not recreate the classic. They had a look to their armor that was specific to those films. Predator 2 literally cannibalized the classic suit for several Predators.

The only film to recreate classic so far was Predators.

The less ominous look probably comes from her childlike build, by our standards.  The lack of muscle mass (less manly), lack of curvature (less womanly) gives her more of a childlike quality. But that all would probably come together to create a far faster, more agile Predator.  Some of the most talented athletes are also the most unassuming.  Don't need a lot of curves or bulk to be quite strong.

Anyway, I like the leaner physique of that female Predator - especially her sleeker face and how the torso tapers.  It's believable, imo.  Shows a stark difference from the males without going all weirdly gratuitous.

I don't think I'd necessarily need more Predator races to be satisfied, but I would like to see different ages and sexes.  Even if it was just a glimpse, to satiate my curiosity  :)

The only film to recreate classic so far was Predators.

-even though AvP had a very specific approach, they sure went for the classic look while painting them. Also because of budget restraints, but still.
-I know P2 reused the classic head like four times over and none of them are exact full body replica's, one's paint does come pretty close.
-AvP-R had faces still based heavily on the classic
-Predators had the cheap knock off classic
-Now this films tries to emulate the classic look too for some of the new faces.

And to be clear: I was speaking specifically about their faces.

Well, if we're talking just faces, none of the Predators in Predator 2, aside of Greyback are "classic." Greyback was the only classic Predator. (Literally the same suit with a few appliances and repaint) The rest of the Predators (Hippie, Snake, Borg) were Predator 2 heads (Very different head ridges, different mandibles, more snake-like paint schemes.

I mean I get what you're saying, but they haven't even been able to successfully pull it off at this point. Honestly the more I look at Captured's exposed face the more I go "Nope, it's just a slightly altered AVP face. ADI refuses to put moisture on them, and refuses to do the paint right.) I could forgive the mandibles not shutting like they're supposed to if they at least painted them and textured them properly.

It was about making it 1:1, ever. It was about emulating it to call back to the first one in the most obvious way.
