San Diego Comic-Con 2013: No New Predator Flick Coming – Original Film Getting 3D Blu-ray Conversion

We were so very happy about the possibility of a new Predator film a few hours ago. Turns out the mysterious image that hit the official Predators Facebook page was just a teaser for the upcoming 3D Predator Blu-ray.

The LA Times’ Hero Complex solved the mystery of Fox’s Predator plans for this year’s Comic-Con.

“To mark the 3-D Blu-ray release of the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring Predator, Fox is dedicating a jungle-themed booth to the film and its iconic extra-terrestrial. Predator fans will be able to purchase custom-designed mini-figurines featuring their likeness. Because what fan wouldn’t want to see his or her own decapitated head, spine still attached, being held up by a Predator? The action figures will be created using photographs of participants (taken at the booth) and 3D printing. The figurines will be mailed to buyers after the convention. The booth will also feature a Comic-Con exclusive “Predator 3D” head as well as the opportunity to pre-order the Blu-ray.”

Cool promotion, but we can’t help but be a little brokenhearted. Oh, well. Next year, maybe?
