PREY Director Dan Trachtenberg Teases Plans for a Sequel to His Predator Film
Director Dan Trachtenberg did a hell of a job with his Predator film Prey. It was a big success for Hulu, and now he’s ready to move forward with his plans for a sequel. With the film being such a big hit with fans, of course, Hulu and 20th Century Studios are going to want a sequel!
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Trachtenberg teased his Prey sequel saying:
"The nerd in me looked that far ahead, as far as he could look, before we started writing this movie, but the adult in me said, 'Don’t count your chickens and just be careful. Try and make the best movie possible, straight away.’ End-credit sequence aside, there is something refreshing about seeing a movie that is not really intended to be just a part one to something else. There’s something nice about seeing a complete thought. On the complete other hand, I love that what would’ve been a post-credit scene in other movies, is an animated end-title sequence in our movie. Our end titles are still storytelling."
The end title sequence features Native American style art that shows multiple Predator ships flying down from the sky approaching as the Comanche tribe points up to the sky, so it will be interesting and fun to see if that is the story they tell for the sequel.
The first movie follows a young woman named Naru, “a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She 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 alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.”
The film’s cast includes Amber Midthunder (The Ice Road, Roswell, New Mexico), newcomer Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp (Sooyii), Michelle Thrush (The Journey Home), and Julian Black Antelope (Tribal).
Bring on the sequel! I’d love to see this story continue!
