M.P.E.G has published an article with detailed information about the sound of Nimród Antal’s “Predators”.
Sequels pose major challenges for sound editors/designers and re-recording crews. How do you remain true to the franchise, yet offer a unique signature that characterizes the film’s emotional content? Fold into the equation a producer/writer who is known to work quickly and retain his creative opportunities until the last minute, and we might not need a crystal ball to predict the outcome.
But that producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimród Antal have wrangled the new production of Predators––due for release July 9 from 20th Century Fox––into a shape that will please old and new fans alike is attributed to the creativity of the post-production crew that worked on this landmark motion picture. “On virtually all of his films, Robert likes to be hands-on,” stresses re-recording mixer/dialogue editor Brad Engleking, who helmed the dubbing console with lead mixer Sergio Reyes at Rodriquez’s Austin-based Troublemaker Studios, and subsequently at Warner Bros. Dub 6 facility on the Burbank lot.

An also, expect for an interview with the sound design team of the film.
Carla Murray and Paula Fairfield both rock! I’m excited to hear what they’ve done with the new predators.
