The great success of predator: The dam renewed the audience appetite For new films of the veteran science fiction saga after having added two failures in cinemas in a decade. From 20th Century Studios and Disney they saw it and They decided to give green light to two new deliveries: an animated anthology with ninjas, Vikings and pilots of World War II that seems to seek to repeat the approach of the 2022 premiere; and a more revolutionary live-action in its plot. His name is Predator: Badlandswe have just received trailer, and we also know release date, cast and several details for the interviews with those responsible.
Predator premiere date: Badlands
Counting the aforementioned predator: Killer of Killers, Predator: Badlands will be the Seventh delivery From the science fiction saga started 40 years ago with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Carl Weathers as protagonists, the novena if we count the discreet crossovers with Alien, and will premiere in cinemas this November 7.
What is the story of Predator: Badlands
If with Predator: the dam we travel to the great plains of the United States of the eighteenth century, this new predator: Badlands promises to take us to the futurean un specified year where and in A remote planet Where, for the first time in the saga, the protagonist will be a predator. Specifically we will follow a young Yautja marginalized by his who, in the company of a human named Thia (played by the actress Elle Fanning), will undertake a risky trip in search of a definitive adversary, a creature, they say, impossible to kill.
Predator: at the pressA Predator will be the prota, what does that imply?
This presents a challenge for history. Although in Alien vs. Predator we had a Yautja by teaming with humans, this will be the first time that it can be said that the prota is the alien and not an earthquake, so its scriptwriters must ensure that as spectators we can empathize a minimum with the bug, but this does not mean that it will cease to be that imposing being that you remember:
– “The creature will be in charge and in the center of this story, it will be the one who takes the singing voice.” It is still someone rude, but there is something else there will be the sensitive fiber “explains Dan Trachtenberg, its director. Giving shape to a character with whom you can connect, but at the same time manages to make you feel intimidated has been a challenge. But it has also been exciting. “
By having a Yautjaa as Prota, Predator: Badlands will also allow us to better explore his culture. In fact, its language will be developed for this film, another tape that some wants to try to connect to the Alien Universe, curiously.
Your possible connection with the Alien Universe
Although this is an idea that terrifies James Cameron, it seems that from Disney they are pushing to connect more and more the predator and alien sagas. In fact, Fede Álvarez, director of Alien: Romulus, already showed his predisposition to the subject so it is not unthinkable. But let’s focus on Predator: Badlands, could we see any xenomorph in it? From Joblo, after taking a look at the first advance, which we have already seen, it is claimed that Elle Fanning’s character would actually be a synthetic And not a young human woman. At the same time we talk about this, an Alien teaser: Earth for Disney+ left us intrigued with a possible indication of the presence of yautjas in fiction.
