Sci-Fi Dan Trachtenberg to direct Predator film ‘Badlands’

[Pennywise]

Victorian era Predator movie?

edit: Oh I forgot this is called Badlands... I guess it's a Western.

If I recall correctly, THR reported it was set some point in the future.

 

[Da-Scribe]

Post-apocalyptic future maybe?

 

[Stringer]

Happy for Elle, and happy to see her in more stuff.

 

[samsnee]

Meh. I’ve always found her acting to be boring. She doesn’t really have a lot of expression and plays one type.

 

[Babillygunn]

I thought she was great in Super 8.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Let's ****ing go!

 

[Gothamsknight]

Excellent casting! Can't wait.

To be fair, a Victorian-era Predator movie seems like an interesting idea.

 

[Filmfreak]

Also, to be fair, whatever era you throw Predator in is a sci-fi.

We have the first synopsis of the film as well as details about the two lead characters. The story in Predator: Badlands features two storylines that deal with the bond between two sisters whose relationship is put to the test as they go on different paths.

Synopsis: A groundbreaking film in which one of the two main storylines delves into the intricate bond of two very different sisters, their familial ties are put to the ultimate test as they pursue divergent paths and missions.

The page mentions a casting call for the lead actress to play two sisters called Thia and Tessa. The actress would be in her mid 20s to mid 40s. Thia has spent most of her life in a laboratory and “is going on her first big adventure in the world”. Her sister is called Tessa and “has a militant intensity” when it comes to completing her goals and objectives.

[THIA/TESSA] – This casting is for a dual character, and describes both characters. Character identifies as female or non-binary, open ethnicity, mid 20s – mid 40s. Thia has spent most of her life in a laboratory and is now embarking on her first big adventure in the world. She is incredibly smart, witty, enthusiastic, and unflappable. She has an innate disregard for danger, not because she’s fearless, but simply because she’s naive. Strong comedy chops required. // The other sister, Tessa, has a militant intensity when it comes to achieving her family’s goals and mission objectives. She will not let anything get in her way, not even her twin sister.

Will this be a Poor Things x Predator mashup?

Oh, the usual suspects are going to love this.

In what comes as no surprise, Marvel Studios’ Bladewon’t be coming out on Nov. 7, 2025, rather Disney is opening 20th Century Studios’ Predator: Badlands.

 

[Sithborg]

I found it interesting is that the Hunting Ground devs had seen the Badlands Pred already.

 

[Drizzle]

My brain every time this movie comes up:

I found it interesting is that the Hunting Ground devs had seen the Badlands Pred already.

What?

 

[Sithborg]

What?

The Predator Hunting Ground game, the online 4 v 1 game, is still in active development. Just released a next gen update and Feral Predator DLC. And in an interview, mentioned that they were able to see the Badlands Predator, which I assume will be DLC next Nov.

 

[Silvermoth]

Have we ever seen a predator film in a desert setting? That might be cool to see

Like Predators in ancient Egypt or something?

 

[Silvermoth]

Precisely this. Or like, Persia or Iraq or something

 

[:eek:]

Predator on Arrakis

 

[Gothamsknight]

This comes out on my birthday! And what a birthday treat it will be.

Can you provide me a link to that interview?
