I guess it makes sense, though. Predators are known for having lots of keepsakes from their vacations. Of course said keepsakes are usually people’s skulls and spines among other things I’d rather not think about. Anyway, I’m not exactly sure of the origin, whether or not this is a repository for a Fox publicity department or whatever. But there are a ton of publicity stills from Nimrod Antal’s upcoming film over at YFrog.
Couldn’t see them as a group and if you try to play them as a slideshow, you get a lovely “403 Forbidden” error. But you can click the photos individually for some prime snaps from the movie. There appear to be over 70 of them. I looked at about 10 or so and there are some great shots of the Predators and also plenty of the human cast. Not sure if these are up temporarily, so you might want to get over there sooner rather than later. There are some definite spoilery shots there too, so you’ll probably want to be aware of that going in. Predators premieres July 9th.
Thanks to Felix for the tip.

That's one big pussy in the back of that dude's throat.
Why is it that Hollywood effects designers seem so afraid of the pussy, anyway?
It's there to scare fanboys. Not the FX guys.
ugly motherf**kers have no molars
Predator was very much a film about the war between the sexes. A group of supremely manly men destroyed one by one by a being wholly alien to them, one that is obviously a woman. It speaks an incomprehensible language that means nothing to them, its face is the dreaded vagina dentata made flesh and it is far more connected to nature than the men are.
She lures each one away from his buddies and brutally emasculates them, starting with the nerdy virgin guy. In the end, only Arnie, the supreme male, is left alive and defeats her by devolving to a primal state, covering himself in shit and behaving like a animal. He rams a phallic symbol down her throat, causing an orgasmic explosion that leaves only him standing.
The moral of the story is that the more civilised and advanced man is, the less able and prepared he is to withstand the female onslaught. It is only by unleashing the beast that man can survive.
Allegedly.
A standing ovation for #4. Bravo, sir.
@3: And they have no upper teeth to occlude their lower four "incisors." This makes no evolutionary (or creationistic, for that matter) sense, and is therefore an anatomical near-impossibility. Of course extracting them may be a cultural thing, done for style, like shaving one's beard or circumcision.
I always figured the Predators evolved from fish. I picture them swimming gracefully through the ocean like dolphins trapping fish in there maws and slurping them down their vagina throats.
Looking through those shots, it's clear that one of those Predator's (the one chained to the rock) is the classic Predator from the first flick. Is "Predators" really a prequel? Is that why the Predator comes to Earth, and hunts Arnie's group? They're practically a mirror image of Brody's group seen in this "sequel". Hmmm. Interesting.
Thank God then that Jean Claude van Damme backed out playing a predator. 😉
@ #4. Wow. I'll never watch Predator in the same way again.
