20th Century Studios brings Dan Trachtenberg’s (10 Cloverfield Lane) prey exclusively to Hulu 5th of Augustand a brand new picture of the new predator Film arrived today.
The image seen above also comes with an intriguing tease from Trachtenberg. The director tells Time Out that he wanted to make his Predator scarier than ever.
“I wanted the Predator to be scarier than we’ve ever seen it before. It’s smart and has advanced technology, which makes it even harder to take on,” notes Trachtenberg.
He continues, “But because the film is set 300 years in the past, these things must feel a bit older than we’ve seen before, but also still far more advanced than what we think our earthlings could handle. I wanted to make sure the head was more proportional to the body. This predator is much leaner and less armored than ever. It’s more “creature”. It’s still huge and wild.”
Amber Middonner (“Legion”) stars in Hulu’s upcoming film predator prequel movie prey as a Comanche woman who breaks gender norms and traditions to become a warrior.
Set 300 years ago in the Comanche Nation, prey is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She grew up in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters to roam the Great Plains, and when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she pursues and ultimately confronts turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technologically advanced arsenal, leading to a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.
