They keep trying with these PREDATOR films, and the latest one to take a stab is from Dan Trachtenberg (10 CLOVERFIELD LANE) who winds the clocks back to show primitive humans encountering the intergalactic hunter.
Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, PREY is the story of a young warrior named Naru.
Naru has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved predator with an advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.
He recently spoke to SFX Magazine to clarify “I want to specifically say this, because I think there’s been some confusion how people have understood: in my mind, this is not a prequel movie, this isn’t, ‘Let’s tell the origin of the Predator.’ This is really something that’s set prior to the original Predator movie,” and the Predator creature in this one, this is its first time travelling to Earth.”
Check out this new teaser showing the Predator slaying a bear and catch PREY on Disney+ from August 5th!
