Three years have handed because the Hulu streaming service launch of Prey, director Dan Trachtenberg’s first entry within the Predator franchise – and Trachtenberg has gone on to make two extra Predator motion pictures (the animated anthology Predator: Killer of Killers, which was launched by way of Hulu earlier this month, and the live-action movie Predator: Badlands, which reaches theatres on November 7), followers of Prey, together with the movie’s star, Amber Midthunder, have been questioning if there’s ever going to be a Prey sequel. Earlier this week, we heard that Trachtenberg has one other Predator film concept that he’s desirous to get to work on – and now, he has confirmed that his subsequent concept does contain Midthunder’s character Naru! There is perhaps a Prey 2 in spite of everything… however earlier than you proceed, beware, there’s a minor Predator: Killer of Killers SPOILER under.
Directed by Trachtenberg from a screenplay by Patrick Aison, Prey has the next synopsis: Set within the Comanche Nation 300 years in the past, Prey is the story of a younger lady, Naru, a fierce and extremely expert warrior. She has been raised within the shadow of among the most legendary hunters who roam the Nice Plains, so when hazard threatens her camp, she units out to guard her folks. The prey she stalks, and finally confronts, seems to be a extremely developed alien predator with a technically superior arsenal, leading to a vicious and terrifying showdown between the 2 adversaries.
Followers who watched Predator: Killer of Killers noticed a cameo from Naru (in suspended animation on an alien world) on the finish of that movie. Talking with Fangoria, Trachtenberg revealed that his subsequent Predator film concept would give extra info on that scenario. He stated, “I had a bunch of big ideas when I finished Prey, I would love to get to all of them. There’s definitely a plan in mind, but the movie has to do well. So, we’ll see. The third story, which I can’t speak to yet, is what would happen with Naru.” As for why he branched out into Predator: Killer of Killers and Predator: Badlands earlier than attending to the following chapter in Naru’s story, he defined, “After Prey I used to be attempting to determine, what the heck would I do for a sequel? Typically folks make a cool film after which the sequel is only a sequel to the cool film. Not a cool film in and of itself. I used to be actually racking my brains, what can be, not simply the following minute of this story we simply informed, however truly what has not been completed within the franchise earlier than?“
Talking with Bloody Disgusting, Trachtenberg stated, “The enjoyable is that now we have now the tip of Prey arrange one thing, after which there’s this (the ending of Predator: Killer of Killers), and I really like the sluggish play of all of it. I believe is cool somewhat than smushing every thing collectively inside one film immediately, we will actually be elegant with our storytelling and hopefully aspire to that. So, it’s not a setup for what’s in Badlands, however it’s a setup for what might occur afterward.“
