Since the people at 20th Century Studios released their first —and promising— images six months ago, we’ve had a total news blackout about ‘Prey’, the ‘Predator’ prequel with which Dan Trachtenberg will take us 300 years back to witness the arrival of these bad-tempered aliens to our planet. Now, at last, we can take a first look at the film in motion.
Bows and arrows
I have to admit that, despite the brevity of the teaser that you can see above these lines, this brief preview has managed to raise my expectations for the project, although I can’t help but think that I wish we had come this far without knowing anything about him. Imagine that the trailer had been launched and we suddenly found ourselves with the three points of the Predator’s peephole on duty. Apotheosis.
Although the surprise is not exactly the hit of ‘Prey’, the title has enough incentives to draw the attention of its potential audience, starting with its head. Trachtenberg, after making the fandom fall in love with his fan film ‘Portal’, debuted with the fantastic bottled thriller ‘Calle Cloverfield 10’, and this It will mean his return to the feature film after his dabbling for several years with the series.
After participating in ‘Black Mirror’, ‘The Boys’ and ‘Dan Brown: The Lost Symbol’, the filmmaker will direct Amber Midthunder, Stefany Mathias and Dane DiLiegro in a tape that will be set in “the world of the Comanche Nation” and that promises a good dose of epic and survival that, according to its creators, will evoke what was seen in ‘The Revenant’. The thing could not paint better.
The but – there always has to be one – is that we will not be able to enjoy ‘Prey’ on the big screen, since It will premiere on Hulu and Disney+ on August 5. of this same 2022.
