Exclusive: Predator Ultimate Hunter Edition Blu-Ray Details Revealed

Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has sent us exclusive information about the upcoming Predator "Ultimate Hunter Edition" Blu-ray which hits stores on June 29th 2010. The new release will feature an all new digital restoration of the film, a new sneak peak at Predators, and an all-new retrospective documentary entitled "Evolution of the Species: Hunters of Extreme Perfection" that includes interviews with Predators producer Robert Rodriguez, director Nimród Antal and original Predator producer John Davis. Here's a quote from Rodriguez from the doc:

"What I loved about Predator is how it played against expectations. Everyone expected another Commando type movie, and it starts off that way but then switches gears and goes very horror, sci-fi and it was refreshing to see something take that turn and become something else and that's what I think give it it's cult classic status."

Also, the release will include one of those $10 Movie Money certificates for Predators, which hits theaters on July 9th. Read the full details now, after the jump.
