Possible Story Details Revealed for the New PREDATOR Movie
A few months ago we learned that there was another Predator movie in development and that film is being helmed by Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane). We now have some possible story details to share with you thanks to Alien vs. Predator Galaxy.
The Predator film is also known as Skulls, and the movie is supposed to start shooting this coming May in Calgary, Canada. As for the story and what it will entail, this is the synopsis that was shared:
The story will follow Kee, a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior. Many years ago – in a time before any Europeans had ever encroached on their lands – the Comanche people had a well defined society and gender norms. Kee is very close to her younger brother, Taabe, who is being groomed as a leader. As capable as any young man in the tribe, Kee has always been a teacher and source of inspiration for Taabe. In the Comanche way – she is Patsi – the elder sister that has helped to shape him. Kee is a truth teller and has insight that others do not. A tomboy, she wants to prove herself in the masculine world of the Comanche. When danger threatens them all – Kee sets out to prove that she is as capable as any young warrior.
If this synopsis is actually real, I’m all for it! This is a great concept for a story! Ancient Comanche warriors batting Predators, hell yeah! I had an idea for a Predator story years ago that I set in ancient Rome, and it saw a young inexperienced Predator who is a heroic gladiator fighting in the coliseum. There’s a whole story arc for that, but no one cares. I just like the idea of a Predator story set in ancient times.
There are some additional details regarding the characters in the story, which you can check out below:
KEE - “Female; 19 years old; Comanche. Her name, “Kee”, means “no” in Comanche. A name she has earned by perpetually refusing to do as she is told her entire life. Kee is very close to her younger brother, Taabe, who is being groomed as a leader. As capable as any young man in the tribe, Kee has always been a teacher and source of inspiration for Taabe. In the Comanche way – she is “Patsi” – the elder sister that has helped to shape him. Kee is a truth-teller and has insight that others do not. A tomboy, she wants to prove herself in the masculine world of the Comanche. When danger threatens them all – Kee sets out to prove that she is as capable as any young warrior.”
TAABE - “Male; 17 years old (seeking 18 to play younger); Comanche. Taabe’s name means “Sun,” like the star in the sky – which lets you know the tribe’s expectations for him – he is being groomed to be a Chief one day. Having relied on the counsel of his older sister, Kee, his “Patsi” for his entire life. Taabe has just had a taste of success in one of his first big hunts. As he is coming of age and fresh off of his first triumph, he feels that he’s now a leader/in charge and no longer needs Kee – which causes the first rift in their very close relationship.”
