QuoteTRACHTENBERG: For the look of the creature, I really wanted to get out of the bodybuilder/wrestler thing. The first thing to go was the mesh netting that he, or it, has worn previously. I wanted to have this thing feel much more creature-like and way more visceral.
Why you gotta do me like that Dan?
Too bad with the mesh
... not a major detail by any means. But it does add to a list of some other subtle Predator elements we are missing again with another new character. Such as the dreadlocks rings missing, which I thought are both amazing tribal touches that add a little more history with them.
Also the approach to the actual Predators face is to be seen still. The fact we are having the discussion again is ironic, and not that I personally mind if they go away from the classic look, etc.
*Side note: I thought KNB EFX did a pretty solid job with the Classic Predator in Predator's and the movie shot below was nice. Even the Berserker Predator's face was impressive [mandibles a bit much most times shown, but if the animatronics could have been pulled back a bit maybe ha]. Either way, I thought Berserker's look and practical face effects were done well, especially in that Classic Predator fight scene. The GIF image below from on-set, shows pretty nice effects I thought for the Berserker face in that scene as well.
But anyways, I was hoping like many I think that there might be a closer connection to the Lost Tribe Predators in this new film like Greyback. Still could be I suppose...but at the very least, wish we could be getting back to that same style & design of Predator we can appreciate 100%.
I am really digging this new Predator design all things considered so far. Just happy we have a new Predator film at all! Got that hype back up!
