The Predator Novelization

[KiramidHead]

I wonder if this is based on the script or the reshot movie.

[felix]

The script probably.

[Corporal Hicks]

It depends how long ago Black rewrote it and when they started writing. It's not unusual for film novelizations to have a quick turnaround. Interesting that there's another author now credited on it.

Excited for this and the prequel

[felix]

Anyone pre-ordered this?

I suspect it might fill in the blanks after watching the movie.

[Corporal Hicks]

I'm hoping it straightens the plot out a bit more. Really looking forward to reading it, actually.

Apparently the movie rushes along at a breakneck speed so I hope the novelization gets into the characters' heads a bit more. And I really loved the pred perspective sections in Hunters and Hunted, so if we get some of those, maybe it'll help us understand Fugitive's murky motivations.

I pre-ordered from amazon. Hoping this novel redeems the story.

With how many reshoots/re-writes/deleted scenes/studio-mandated edits this thing has gone through, I pity the poor soul who has to adapt it; the AVP novelization'll be one-to-one by comparison.

[Corporal Hicks]

Personally I think Mark Morris was called on to deal with the edits following the reshoots.

Would explain how he just suddenly cropped up without preamble when the cover was released.

[Wweyland]

Ordered this together with Davids Drawings. Did not love the movie but still very interested in reading this.

[HybridNewborn]

Looking forward to this after seeing the film last night!

Will be interesting to see what gets expounded upon

[Xiggz456]

Ya I really hope it expands upon the

fugitive and enhanced Preds motivations and backstory!

Quick side note the four armed predator in the "Predators" sequel comic is more plausible now

knowing that the Preds are into genetic manipulation.

Please don't remind me of that goro garbage.
