Artist Anthony Petrie Has Made the Coolest ‘Predator’ Poster Ever
Look, I realize that the headline seems over the top and possibly even rather “clickbait-y”. However, I assure you that once you read through this post then you’ll fully understand why I honestly believe the statement to be true. Alright, let’s do this.
Anthony Petrie is an artist who has been working for over a decade and has teamed up with some of the biggest names in the industry. He’s designed movie posters, branding, apparel, and more. Ever pushing the boundaries, in 2015 he created a gallery of pieces called chART1, which made nautical maps out of movies and other pop culture properties. For example, just look at his Jaws-themed poster, which shows Amity Island as part of Bruce the Shark. It’s pretty incredible but Petrie knew that he could do better. After all, what kind of artist doesn’t find joy in challenging themselves to do something a bit more grand and exciting?
Enter Petrie’s poster for John McTiernan’s classic 1987 sci-fi action film Predator, which he will be debuting at chART2 when it opens September 3rd at Gallery 1988 West in Los Angeles, CA. The poster is printed on thermochromic, heat-reactive ink, according to io9, which means that it actually changes colors when you put your hand on it and warm it up! It’s just like the heat vision from the movie!
Furthermore, supposedly the Predator on the poster will disappear once heat is applied. Seriously, how freaking cool is that?!
Petrie will be showcasing other posters that utilize pop culture icons as the foundation for the maps. For example, check out this one of Godzilla.
Below are pictures and video of the poster.

Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
