“That’s one of the cool things of the movie, is that, outside of very brief glimpses in other films, we’re on Yautja Prime, what is known as Yautja Prime mainly from extended universe stuff. There’s a lot in this movie that is more from the extended universe than is from things that are properly in the movie,” Trachtenberg detailed at a press event, which ComicBook attended. “I should mention the language. We, insanely, decided to really treat that properly and worked with, we reached out to the guy who does the Na’vi language [in
Avatar], who was very occupied, and
recommended his mentee. We did it the way that, for
The Lord of the Rings, you would do Elvish, for
Game of Thrones, you do Dothraki. Except for those, there’s more precedent, for us, there’s very little.”
He continued, “As we discovered, with him being a language expert, all the stuff, and frankly, actually working with [
Predator special effects artist] Alec Gillis, all the stuff that you’ve seen in other
Predator movies is complete garbage. There’s no sense of it. People from the Internet have
tried to make sense of it, but none of it was made with intention.”
