Predator: the director of Badlands makes fun of the story of the relationships and says “is still a predator, but a cock for which you can cheer”

The predator The franchise continues to surprise fans by refusing to stay in a lane and director Dan Trachtenberg He is ensuring us.

While many still hope for a sequel to Preythe next chapter, Predator: BadlandsIt is destined to provide something totally different with franchise.

This year has already been engaged for Yautja, with animated anthology Predator: Assassin Assassin Giving us a new tour of the myth. But Badlands It aims to push things even further on making the predator himself the hero of the story, collaborating with a synthetic character of no less that Weyland-Yutani, played by Elle Fanning.

In a new interview with Empire, Trachtenberg explained that he wanted to explore something that only this film could do.

“In general, I’m always looking for: what could happen only in this film?”

That unique approach leads to what describes as “a kind of comedy friend” between Dek, the Predator, which for the first time has a real name and Android of Fanning, Thia.

As Trachtenberg says, “Prey It was a solviso survival story; This is a relationship story. “

Of course, the film doesn’t just concern jokes and ties. Trachtenberg promises:

“Obviously, it is also a crazy adventure against the monsters and the elements – only this time is a predator tough against those things.

“We wanted Dek to be recognizable, but without transforming him into Luke Skywalker. He is still a predator: we had to allow him to be a fuck. But a fuck you can cheer for.”

This is a rather interesting direction for a franchise built on humans who runs for their lives by an unstoppable hunter.

But that’s exactly why Predator: Badlands It feels so intriguing. It promises to be a mix of action, survival and unexpected heart, with a predator in the center that could only be more than a faceless hunter among the trees.

We will see how the unlikely partnership of Dek and Thia takes place when Predator: Badlands It affects cinemas on November 7th.
