‘Badlands’ – Elle Fanning Starring in Next ‘Predator’ Movie
Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey) will be expanding upon the Predator franchise even further with the upcoming Badlands, another fresh standalone movie.
Deadline reports that Elle Fanning (The Neon Demon) is now in talks to star!
Dan Trachtenberg is on board to co-write and direct Badlands.
The site’s report continues, “Plot details are being kept under wraps other than it featuring everyone’s favorite extraterrestrial big game hunter. It is also not known about release plans as the last film exclusively streamed on Hulu (breaking numerous viewerships records for the streamer) but given that 20th Century has been very much back in the theatrical game with films like Boogeyman and the upcoming Alien: Romulus film bowing in theaters, a theatrical premiere isn’t out of the question.”
Deadline also suggests that 20th Century Studios is all-in on expanding the Predator universe with additional projects, and a direct sequel to Prey is also being discussed at this time.
Amber Midthunder stars in Hulu’s Prey as a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior, bravely taking down a Predator in the process.
Earlier this year, Prey won the Creative Arts Emmys award for “Outstanding Sound Editing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie,” officially making the Predator saga an Emmy-winning horror franchise. Needless to say, the bar is high for the next installment.
