Safe robot navigation in crowded spaces requires planning that accounts for where people will be, not only where they are now. Model Predictive Path Integral (MPPI) control is an effective sampling-based planner, but many implementations encode humans as static point obstacles at their current positions, underestimating risk in dynamic scenes. We propose Predictive Gaussian Interaction Fields (PGIF), a spatiotemporal cost formulation that propagates pedestrian predictions forward over the full planning horizon and encodes them as anisotropic Gaussian repulsive fields aligned with each pedestrian's direction of motion. The forward spread of each field grows with the pedestrian's speed, creating a motion cone danger zone that penalises robot trajectories entering the pedestrian's path of travel more strongly than those approaching from behind. The formulation is closed-form and fully parallelisable across rollouts, adding no measurable computational overhead. Evaluated over 300 randomised crowd scenarios at three density levels, PGIF-MPPI achieves a 0\% collision rate at every density level, compared with up to 82\% for vanilla MPPI, while maintaining real-time planning performance.
