20th Century Studios brings Dan Trachtenberg‘s (10 Cloverfield Lane) Prey exclusively to Hulu on August 5, but where does the film take place within the larger Predator universe?
Speaking with SFX Magazine for their latest issue, Trachtenberg explains that while Prey does indeed take place long before the original Predator, it’s not an origin story prequel.
“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,” Trachtenberg explains. “And the Predator creature in this one, this is its first time travelling to Earth.”
Check out new shots from Prey above and below, courtesy of SFX Magazine. The below shot is a particular highlight of their coverage, giving us the best look yet at the film’s Predator.
Trachtenberg recently told ComicBook.com, “I think this guy’s perhaps from a different hemisphere of the planet and a little bit of a different breed. So even his look is a little new.”
Amber Midthunder (“Legion”) stars in Hulu’s upcoming Predator movie Prey as a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior. 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.
