Oh boy. TWDC going back to the Alien cross-over again. I do enjoy Elle though. She's really talented, IMO.

The daytime shots of the Predator do not work for me. They don't hide the weaknesses with GGI and make-up. I am not a filmmaker but my understanding that good filmmakers (i.e. Cameron, Scott, McTiernan, etc.) will often film creatures in dark locations to help the CGI and costuming/makeup look better on film. It hides the shortcomings.

I did watch Prey recently since it was on the D+ free Hulu stuff section. It was actually really good - certianly th ebest Predator movei in a while! It gives me confidence that this one should be good.

Will this be the first Predator Film to ever break $200M is the question. Highest a Predator film has ever gotten is $160M
