crumbs 14,316 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Let's hope the makeup and creature effects team from Predators come back for this. ADI didn't have a clue how to handle the Predator designs in their AVP films. Even Winston understood the Alien design far better in the only film he did them.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 In AVP, the predators looked like footballers in monster outfits. The aliens looked fine.

Quintus 5,399 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 They need to dial right back on the facial designs to have them look more like the original, which was never bettered, and still looks 100% real today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they wonder why piracy is such a problem... Alas, it wasn't the lightbulb in this instance, just an inept director/DI artist/studio executive. How it passed so many layers of approval is baffling (unless it was intentional to hide how cheap the sets/creatures/effects looked when lit properly). Quite amusing to watch this BTS video with the DP complaining about how dark the set is. Daniel Pearl is no slouch either; he shot the photographically superb Texas Chainsaw remake years ago. I can only assume they fucked up the film in DI as the trailers looked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Projectors cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it's not like sticking a new light bulb in there. Not saying it's an excuse, but most theaters are run by teenagers that don't care nor have the knowledge of how to properly maintain the equipment.

crumbs 14,316 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Most of the local cinema chains here automated all their projectors years ago, so at least they fork out the cash for someone. I understand projectors aren't cheap but we're talking about the globes, not the projector. The globes are no doubt expensive but not hundreds of thousands expensive. They'd make enough from one screening of Star Wars to replace one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Except that theater chains make little to no profit from ticket sales. That's why a popcorn and soda will run you $10+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
