    Cool, I enjoyed Prey. The original is still the best, but I prefer this idea of telling stories of predators coming to earth through history much more than any of the other sequels.

      Same here. I didn’t realize Dan Trachtenberg also did 10 Cloverfield Lane before Prey. Both films were the strongest sequels in their respective series so I’m willing to checkout anything this guy makes.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Trachtenberg, who earned an Emmy nomination for his 2022 Predator movie Prey, is returning to the sci-fi action horror franchise to make a new installment.

    Titled Badlands, the new Predator feature is not a sequel to Prey, which was set in 1719 and centered on a young Comanche woman forced to fight for survival against the intergalactic hunters, but rather a brand new story.

    Predator was the muscle-bound action 1987 movie that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers and Jesse Ventura as commandos being stalked in a jungle by a fearsome alien.

    John McTiernan directed the film, which helped cement Schwarzenegger’s star power.

    Prey proved to be a massive streaming success when it debuted on Hulu, setting viewing records for the streamer.

    With strengthening streaming services a top priority in those intense days of The Streaming Wars, and with the pandemic still hampering box office, new owner Disney believed releasing the movie on Hulu was the best option.
