From there he goes to a ship - I believe it was another Predator ship – and he goes to a previously killed Predator and gets some stuff from his body. The first one featured a Predator in the water after arriving on Earth. After a few minutes of Q&A, the brothers showed us two scenes from the film. I’ve been in a lot of screening rooms because of Collider and the chairs in this one might have been the best. This was the area where they watched and worked on the film. Just some random FYI.įrom there we went upstairs and sat down in the screening room. They told us they have two air conditioning units to keep the room ice cold. As most of you know, server farms get extremely hot. Just like you’d expect, it was cool to the touch. The server room is surrounded by glass, and since I had heard they keep those rooms ice cold, I put my hands on the wall to see how cold it was. We then walked up some stairs and saw a room with huge racks of servers in an area away from everything else. As we continued to walk around the office, someone asked how many special effects shots were in the film and one of the brothers said around 500 or so. And if you’re wondering, I asked what the running time is for "AVP:R" and they said around 97 minutes. The brothers said it would be around 7 or 8 minutes longer and they had some new and special footage planned for it. While we stood around the pit, we asked about the unrated DVD. I did try and see the computer screens to check out what else was being worked on… but, unfortunately, I didn’t see anything but Aliens.

This area is also where they do a lot of effects for many films, as the Strause brothers said the effects artists were hard at work on “Jumper” and “Starship Dave” now that "AVP:R" is slowing down. At first we walked around an area they called the '3D pit' and that’s where they were putting the final touches on the upcoming unrated DVD. We all arrived around 1pm and were showed around the office.
