There are only a few days left until it opens. ‘Predator: The Prey’ on Disney+. After the very positive comments it received at the last Comic-Con, many wonder why the new installment of the ‘Predator’ franchise is released directly in streaming without going through theaters first. your principal Dan Trachtenberg has now wanted to clarify the reasons.
“This is a real movie”
As is logical, the person also responsible for ‘Calle Cloverfield 10’ is immersed in the promotional campaign for his new feature film. The one that interests us now is an interview granted to Uproxx in which he, for example, clarifies that the film was made with the idea that it would be an experience to enjoy in cinema:
We made it to be a great theatrical experience, and on the downside, it’s not going to be released that way. So you can’t see it in the cinema, but on the plus side, what you’re getting delivered right to your living room is a massive cinematic experience. It’s not one of those straight-to-video shits. It’s like, “This is a real movie.”
Furthermore, Trachtenberg also commented that “there are so many places where people want people to experience their, I hate to say the word content… They want things to feel premium“. That last sentence is the keyWell, ‘Predator: La Presa’ premieres on Hulu in the United States and in this regard also points out the following:
So Hulu hasn’t really had… There hasn’t been a 20th Studios franchise that’s come out yet. So they hope to turn on the platform to say, “We’re not just putting out the smaller, lower-budget movies. That this is also a place to have huge cinematic experiences.”
Come on, the fact that ‘Predator: La Presa’ is seen directly in streaming is still an attempt to highlight the platform, to make it feel more important to the public.
