Ok this is in reference to the picture shown at the top of this thread now, not the said stolen alien suit.
When I first seen the picture on the gallery part of this site the first idea came to my head that hang on, they look abit odd, highly reflectant to light too much so,( I use adobe alot as i do digtl rework on photographs for modelling shoots everday for my buisness) even if there is some form of spot light before them look very carefully at the surface of detail on the pred and the alien. it's plastic, hard moulder platsic done on many f the figures from tod mc farline. Find his movie maniacs site for horro figures etc and look at the pre production photo stes he's done for the figures when they are comming out. They look EXACTLY like this picture. the predator shown in this picture is a figure from the predator 2 series. And the alien looks an awefull like the 12 inch version they released a year or so back. The only thing that throws me are the hands of the alien. but after all a very talented person studying film etc can have altered these figures slightly, and alike to the false pictures and trailers that appear for many anticipated films, this is another carefully done (to a point) fake.
Also look at the laser sight eminating for the preds helm, the three lines don't line up with the actuall emitter. And then once it's made to seem like hitting the aliens head, the reflected dots of light on the alien head rise higher than the traditional targeting triangle. And it's common knowladge thatany laser sights don't have "splash"light reflectant. The only light you would see on the aliens head from that pred shoulder cannon marker would be the trianle. The film makers would not be that sloppy.
The film makers also would not release a still with such harsh refletant light either. Look at the thing, it's not a movie still. there's no soft production of the film, the picture isn't even composed professionally in the throws of action, the charicters would be moving if this was a still, you would not be able to make out every singl;e detail so clearly, even in hi def films movement still gives some amount of blur. The picture has no atmosphere, in any movie still of any of the alien or pred films before this even avp, look at all the stills, has any one of them ever shown such spot light precise harshness to two subjects on screen??? it's far far FAR to precise and in focus.
AFter all this I admit I was suprised to see that someone said the directors have "confirmed" this picture to be genuine, okay show me where. As the dirctors to my knowladge are the strause brothers. And i haven't seen any any comments by them on my trawl around the net. The source is always said to be the german site. Which I have visiteds today and the picture, for the moment won't show, maybe it won't show again and be removed, i wonder why?
If however I am completely and utterly wrong. With proof I will submit and appologise.
But at the moment working on millions of photos myslef, being a hudge film buff (and even bigger fan of the aliens & predator films and comics), and being a massive collector of figures, and a fan of tod mc farlines figures, and his great figure promotion pictures....I have problems with this picture.
