Dan Trachtenberg, the director for the upcoming 20th Century Studios / Disney Predator film (Predator 5), working title "SKULL / SKULLS" recently took to Instagram to tease a few behind the scenes photos from production! The first image shows a sweet crew sweater featuring the iconic triple laser targeting light the Predator employs on its helmet and the second photo is of glowing green Predator blood!


Although both images are harmless and offer no spoilers, it is reassuring to see that production is still moving along despite the ongoing legal battle between Disney and the original Predator rights holders.
This does however, confirm the iconic glowing green blood, famously likened to the Predator, will be remaining consistent in the new installment! Not that there was any real doubt such an important characteristic would be changed or forgotten.
