ferox Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I think the biggest problem is the fact that the movies mostly take place in a jungle and in relative daylight. Even with the reasonable creative choice of having it take place at night, a halfway decent jungle would be very expensive and difficult to pull off. Not to mention how expensive a decent looking Predator costume would be. The cost/benefit analysis doesn't really add up. Even if it did, there's one character (albeit a terrifying character) in one setting. There'd be no way to pull of the invisibility cloak effect either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Have to agree. They already had a hard time making the forest scenes in ED. A jungle scene may be to difficult to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StraightEdge Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 (edited) Too much of a drop off in awareness for Predator 2. Otherwise you're left with mostly jungle scenes. Isn't awareness from the original film just enough? I mean everyone knows who "Predator" is right? At 4 years old, I saw the classic and it still holds my favorite film today. In a soundstage it could work. Yes, it would be expensive but would be like the best maze HHNH's ever done or any ones ever done. And a Predator costume would really be expensive? I think the cloak effect would work with some kind of small 3D screen or something. I would prefer just 3 mazes at HHN with Predator being one of them if it would need that trouble to get though it.

Ridesandstuff Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Yea I don't think awareness is the problem. Most people know who predator is. It's just a very difficult property to work with even in a soundstage. If murdy said it's too hard to do a creature costume, imagine how hard a predator costume would be.

I would so buy that if I was rich lol but damn! Imagine Murdy trying to get like 20 of those for a maze but with different masks, equipment, color, body, detail for each one and even trying to get the Predator mandibles to move on some. The costumes alone would be like over $100,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferox Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 But on a more serious note, awareness needs to be deeper than "heard of it" to justify maze money and time. Think about how many movies you know of but don't really care about. Like Hatchet. Most of you know about that movie, but most of you (myself included) would be less than thrilled at the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridesandstuff Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 It's still pretty recognizable though, more than just "heard of it" which could be attributed to the more recent films that have come out about the character (AVP and Predators). I'm not holding out for it though...I honestly don't really want it to come anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avila Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Predator is fairly well known along with Alien awareness would not be an issue for either of them. its more well known in my opinion then silent hill... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferox Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 I was making a general point about what should be accepted as reasonable awareness. its more well known in my opinion then silent hill... I'm guessing you're not into video games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citation for the fact? It's one of the very few video games to get a recent movie adaptation and the first video game series to get a maze at HHN. The franchise started in 1999 and is still thriving today. Edited December 2, 2013 by ferox 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
