After the disappointing performance of ‘The Predator’ in 2018, continuing the franchise was a risk. However, ‘Prey’ proved to be a major success, both with critics and audiences. Set in the past, it featured the creature hunting Native Americans and facing a strong female adversary. The enthusiastic response to ‘Prey’ led to a short animated film, ‘Killer of Killers,’ and now a full-length sequel, ‘Predator: Badlands.’ This new installment takes a surprising turn by focusing on the Predator as the main character and is set in the future.
A young Predator named Dek is exiled from his tribe and must team up with an unexpected companion as he hunts for a powerful enemy.
We recently spoke with the director of Predator Badlands as he finished the film for its IMAX release – which premiered at the BFI IMAX in London, the UK’s largest screen! Our conversation covered everything from casting newcomer Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi to the level of violence and navigating censorship. We also discussed the decision to use CGI for the Predator instead of practical prosthetics, and a surprising detail: Elle Fanning was often carried like a backpack by Dimitrius during filming in New Zealand. It was a really interesting look behind the scenes, and the director, Dan, had some fascinating stories to share.
Director Dan Trachtenberg shared the story of how Elle Fanning was unexpectedly used as a makeshift backpack during the filming of ‘Predator: Badlands’.
