Why So Blu?

Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition Targets Blu-ray

There’s no doubt that this newest Predator Blu-ray release is a plug for the upcoming Predators movie this summer (July 9th).  But when we are talking about a movie as cool as Predator, it’s easy to be forgiving on the studio trying to capitalize off the name.  Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition arrives on Blu-ray this June 29th from Twentieth Century Fox with a brand new remastered video transfer, extra goodies not included in the original Blu-ray release and $10 Movie Money for Predators. Check out the full press release below for more information!

Remember when Arnold used to be this cool?

LOS ANGELES, CA (May 24, 2010) – “If it bleeds, we can kill it…” The ultimate warrior faces the ultimate enemy when Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition arrives on Blu-ray with a stunning new restored transfer on June 29 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. Available just in time for the theatrical debut of Predators on July 9, the Blu-ray includes $10 in Movie Money to see the latest film in theaters across the country.

Dutch (Arnold Schwarzenegger; The Terminator) wages an all-out war against an unseen enemy, a force more powerful and deadly than any on Earth-because the Predator is not of this Earth. As he leads an elite group of commandos on a rescue mission deep into the jungle, Dutch and his team quickly learn that their foe kills for pleasure and hunts for sport. However, this time….it picked the wrong man to hunt.

Directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard), Predator also stars Carl Weathers (Rocky), Michael Biehn (The Terminator) and Jesse Ventura (The Running Man). Along with a complete digital restoration of the film, the all-new Predator: Ultimate Hunter Edition Blu-ray is loaded with extras including a sneak-peek at the upcoming Predators, an all-new documentary entitled “Evolution of the Species: Hunters of Extreme Perfection” featuring interviews with Predators producer Robert Rodriguez, director Nimród Antal and original Predator producer John Davis, a feature-length commentary by John McTiernan, making-of documentaries, behind-the-scenes footage and much more.
