Predator: Badlands NewsBy Chris Jul 22, 2018Comments

20th Century Fox were present at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend and they brought some fresh footage from Shane Black's The Predator. Although the footage has not been released to the public, descriptions of the footage have been shared online. Birth.Movies.Death released a detailed account of what was shown. One clip in particular showed a brutal demise for the Fugitive Predator, be warned as the following may classify as a spoiler to some:

We were shown the scene alluded to in the trailer in which the bigger Predator forcefully takes over for a typical Predator. They fight, and as you can imagine, it doesn’t go well for the lil' guy: the giant Predator throws him onto a car, takes off his mask, punches his face in (like all the way in) and then rips his off his head. It’s fucking gross, and apparently isn’t even finished in terms of gore effects. This was followed by a sizzle real that seemed focused on violence and selling the film’s R-rated bonafides.

The Predator also heads back to Vancouver for two days of additional filming this upcoming weekend according to Production Weekly. Reasons behind the re-shoots are unknown but as we learn more we'll be sure to keep you updated!
