‘Predator’ and ‘It’ Concept Art Via Vincenzo Natali!
Everyone should be following Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice) on Twitter. While most unused scripts and concept art never end up seeing the light of day, Natali is posting it all without a second’s thought, bringing us the chance to see his vision for films like Swamp Thing and Neuromancer.
But what’s really cool for us horror fans is the concept art he had in mind for two projects that never came to be: Predator and It. Natali has posted concept art for each film, although the former focuses more on specific shots while the latter focuses on Pennywise designs. They’re still rather fascinating as they give a brief and basic glimpse into what we could’ve seen.
Since Fox is still developing a new Predator, and Warner Bros. getting close to assigning a new director to It, this feels like a publicity play to get fans screaming, “Hire Vincenzo!”
I mean, sure, why not. The dude was behind Cube and Splice, as well as episodes of “Hannibal” for NBC.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
