This looks like a Predator Dark Horse comic book miniseries brought to life. I want to see this so bad. I loved Killer of Killers.

To do this, Trachtenberg pulled inspiration from classic cinematic characters who "don't speak very much, but have a presence that's intimidating." Think Clint Eastwood movies, Mad Max in The Road Warrior, and Conan the Barbarian, he says. Basically, "characters that have a code in a morally ambiguous landscape that are very much sort of anti-hero, but still go through a gauntlet."

Trachtenberg says he knew Dek needed company, but to make her [Thia] human would mean that everyone, audiences and producers alike, "would start to get tempted by that human and their story." So, he made her a robot instead. "And then the next thought was, wait a minute, I know a company that makes robots. And that led to the Weyland-Yutani synth of it all," he explains. As for the character of Thia herself, he teases, "They are a pretty interesting and bizarre pairing for each other, and that's a huge part of the fun of the movie is their chemistry."

I feel like this is the movies biggest challenge in getting the audience to fall in love with this Predator, as all the negativity I have seen so far is about the design and look of this version, if Dek can win people over will be where this movie lives or dies, it feels like.

Liking the sound of the dynamic between a Predator and android though this time and is the most interesting aspect to me as we haven't seen anything like that before in these movies, its a nice mix of the Predator and Alien worlds without the usual "hey look some terrible Pred-Alien hybrid" monster.

Ah hope you get well soon buddy

This looks so cool. It’s funny how quickly things have turned around for both Predator and Alien with just a few great films and cool projects just over the horizon. After decades of mediocrity.

Just watched Killer of Killers. That was amazing! I love this universe that Trachtenberg is building. Fantastic human characters and new settings is all this series needed.
