“Prey” director claims fans no longer remember the first “Predator” movie – 20th Century Studios (courtesy)
The premiere of “Prey” on streaming platforms was a success for the franchise, although there were clearly those who saw it and had some negative criticism of the story with Amber Midthunder. Now director Dan Trachtenberg says it’s because fans haven’t seen the first “Predator” movie.
Although the distribution of ‘Predator’ supported Amber Midthunder in ‘Prey’, some followers of the saga have argued that the story had nothing to do with the original 1987 film directed by John McTiernan starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. But the director believes he’s right about the negative reviews.
In an interview for Screen Rant, Dan Trachtenberg says the criticism of ‘Prey’ it is because they have not seen ‘Predator’. For the uninitiated, Amber Midthunder’s new film is the fifth installment in the “Predator” saga, which premiered on Hulu, Star + and Disney +.
I think there has been a very strange reaction to all of this. It’s almost a Mandela effect, the way people remember the original movie badly. “
The director, who starred in the pilots for “The Boys” and “Black Mirror”, commented that “Prey” was “awakened” and “feminist”: “I’m happy that people come to this conclusion, since, if you give, the ending of the original film is what he gets and finds out. It’s like Arnold ended up tapping into that knowledge that the Comanches have. Many people have forgotten the original film and remember it simply as “Guys with big guns fight that thing”.
Amber Midthunder defends “Prey” from criticism
For its part, the star that gives life to Naru, Amber Midthunder, debunked criticism of her character, and said he only cared about representing Comanche culture in the most faithful and respectable way possible, he said during a recent interview for Collider.
The actress commented: “Really what I thought about the most when I made the film, and then released it, was how the natives would feel about it. it distressed me the most. This was what weighed on me the most, what would be the answer to this question “.
Even when “Prey” was heavily criticized by an industry, Dan Trachtenberg’s film achieved the highest score of all “Predator” films on several specialized pages. At the moment nothing is known about a second part, but it seems that the sequel will be imminent.
