Ich lese gerade wieder ein Buch!!!!!11!!!1!!!!!! ;-) Predator Armada - Rage War, da ist von Standard-Predatoren mit 3 Meter Körpergröße die Rede. Scheint also durchaus zum Kanon zu gehören, dass es da noch deutlich größere Exemplare zu geben scheint. War auch recht verblüfft...SFI hat geschrieben:Wow, jetzt auch noch Riesenpredators
“I’m not in the show though—It was too long so my character, they had to take me out,” Olmos said in an interview during the publicity rounds for his new FX show Mayans M.C. “They were like half an hour, 3/4 of an hour too long. So I understand why. It was gracious of them to call me and tell me, ‘Hey, we really feel bad,’ you know?”
Black recently revealed to Collider the full extent of recent large-scale reshoots on The Predator and why they decided to re-do most of the film’s third act.
“If you want to do all of this stuff with this much money, you probably need to shoot during the day because during the night would be prohibitive,” Black said. “To our chagrin, and it’s on me, when we saw the footage during the day, the climax of the movie, it doesn’t look right. It doesn’t look scary in the daytime. Then we decided to streamline the plot so we could go back up and really concentrate on the scarier elements of doing it at night. So literally, as they’ve said, the difference is night and day. We took everything out of day and put it into darkness.”

Way back in early 2017, Shane Black had promised that The Predator would be gory and rated “R” and it’s been confirmed this week that no behind the scenes shenanigans have changed that. Unlike The Meg and likely Venom, the return of the Predator franchise will arrive on the big screen with “Strong bloody violence, language throughout, and crude sexual references.”
*FacePalm*‘The Predator’ Was Edited in the Final Hour Due to the Casting of a Registered Sex Offender
As we’ve reported, Shane Black’s The Predator underwent final hour reshoots earlier this year, but as it turns out, Black tinkering with the film’s final act was only the tip of the iceberg in regards to its behind the scenes, post production issues. A report from Los Angeles Times today sheds light on a whole new issue, and it sounds like Black has some explaining to do.
According to the site, Black cast his friend Steven Wilder Striegel (47) in a brief role, “a three-page scene shared with actress Olivia Munn.” It was only after filming wrapped that Munn learned Striegel is a convicted sex offender, having plead guilty back in 2010 “after facing allegations that he attempted to lure a 14-year-old female into a sexual relationship via the internet.” In fact, it sounds like nobody was aware of Striegel’s past at the time, save for Black himself.
Last month, Munn approached 20th Century Fox with what she had learned, and to their credit, the studio swiftly edited Striegel out of the film.
As a spokesperson explained to LA Times, “Our studio was not aware of Mr. Striegel’s background when he was hired. We were not aware of his background during the casting process due to legal limitations that impede studios from running background checks on actors.”
Black and Striegel are longtime friends, and Black has also cast him in both Iron Man 3 and The Nice Guys. According to Black, he’s just been trying to “help a friend.”
“I personally chose to help a friend,” Black said in a written statement to LA Times. “I can understand others might disapprove, as his conviction was on a sensitive charge and not to be taken lightly. [Striegel was] caught up in a bad situation versus something lecherous.”
As for Munn, she notes that she found it “both surprising and unsettling that Shane Black, our director, did not share this information to the cast, crew, or Fox Studios prior to, during, or after production.” She added in her statement to LA Times, “I am relieved that when Fox finally did receive the information, the studio took appropriate action by deleting the scene featuring Wilder prior to release of the film.”
