Cool Stuff: Mondo’s ‘Predator’ Poster By N.C. Winters Lunges Into Action
The Predator may be oneuglymother fu*ker, but he makes for a good looking subject for these new Mondo posters. ArtistN.C. Winterscreated a slick newPredatorposter, which depicts the alien trophy hunter in all his glory. Check out the MondoPredatorposter below.
Shane Black’sThe Predatorwill be hitting theaters sometime later this year, but if you’re impatient and want some newPredatorstuff now, you can try to snag these new Mondo posters. Artist N.C. Winters, who also createdAlienposters for Mondo, has created two variantPredator24" x 36" screen print posters that make great use of negative space. Here’s what Winters said about making thePredatorposter:
Here’s what the regular version of the poster looks like:
And here’s the desaturated variant:
In 1987,John McTiernan’s ultra-macho, ultra-violent horror/sci-fi/action flickPredatorintroduced audiences to a dreadlocked monster with mandible-covered face and a penchant for human skulls. The incredibly entertaining film starredArnold Schwarzeneggeras the leader of a team of commandos who find themselves systematically slaughtered by the alien. In 1991,Predator 2took the series into weirder territory by moving the setting to a city and swapping out Arnold Schwarzenegger with Danny Glover. 2010’sPredatorsmade things even weirder, by going to an alien world that the Predators use to as their own personal hunting grounds. Oh, there were alsoAlien vs. Predatormovies in there somewhere – avoid them at all costs.
ThePredatorfranchise will continue with Shane Black’sThe Predator, a new take on the series with a pretty impressive cast: Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Sterling K. Brown, Jacob Tremblay, Yvonne Strahovski, Alfie Allen and Thomas Jane. While most of the details of the new film are still in the dark,Thomas Janelet slip some plot points that make the new movie sound kind of insane:
“We play these veterans from like Afghanistan or the Iraq War or whatever. But we’re all fucking crazy so we go to the VA hospital to get our meds. We’re all like shellshocked, PTSD soldiers. We’re at the VA hospital and we’re in group therapy and of course, somebody flips out – this is backstory, I don’t think we really see this – somebody flips out and we all get arrested and get thrown onto the bus to go down to the hospital and they throw this other guy on the bus too.
And he’s a guy they’ve actually marked to kill him because he’s seen a UFO, he’s seen the Predator ships come down so they lock him up and throw him in with us lunatics. They’re going to take that bus, drive it down to a ditch and shoot us all just to get rid of this one guy. But, of course, we take the bus over and we’re all like ‘fuck that, man, let’s go kill these fucking Predators ourselves.’ And we’re just crazy enough to believe that this guy really did see a UFO and there’s these aliens out there. So that’s kinda cool!”
Yes, thatiskinda cool, Thomas Jane. Look forThe PredatoronAugust 3, 2018.
