Predator: Badlands is "not just a slasher movie" or "a generic sci-fi", says director Dan Trachtenberg: "It's a hardcore, brutal survival tale… but also crazy fun"
Exclusꩵive: Director Dan Trachtenberg says Predator: Badland🥀s is different from other sci-fi movies and Predator is more than just a creature, "it's a character"

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Predator: Badlands is not your average sci-fi movie and will differ from other franchise installments due to the creature having more personality, but that's a good thing, acco❀rding to director Dan Trachtenberg.
"The movie kind of teaches you how to watch it, and I know traditionally the Predator has just been a creature. Now it's a character and that just takes some adjusting to," says Trachtenberg in the new issue of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:SFX magazine, which features Star Trek: Strange New Wo𒊎rlds on the cover and hits newsstands on W♍ednesday, June 18.
“But꧃ the cool thing is, when more and more materials come out for the movie, people will see that it is not just a slasher movie. It is not a generic sci-fi movie. It really is a hardcore, brutal survival tale, but also really fun, crazy fun," adds the director.
We haven’t seen much from the upcoming movie other than 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the first teaser, which introduced Elle Fanning’s android Thia and a young outcast Predator. "I was stoked to have it finally out there in a way, because we've been holding on to it for so long," said the director. However, it sounds like T⛦rachtenberg is saving the best for later: "Soon there will be more trailers and people will get a better sense of the movie."
Badlands will be the second of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:up to three new Predator additions helmed by Trachtenberg, with the first, Predator: Killer of Killers, premiering on Disney Plus this Juneꦅ. Co-directed and written by Micho Rutare, Killer of Killers takes place in three different timelines and follows a trio of warriors: an ancient Viking raider, a ninja in feudal Japan, and a pilot during World War II. Kille♔r of Killers takes place before the 2022 movie Prey, also directed by Trachtenberg.
However, Badlands will not act as a sequel to eithe🦄r Prey or Killer of Killers. In fact, it is set in the future on a remote planet, "where a young Predator, outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary," as per the official synopsis.
