Following the debut of the first footage of Predator: Badlands at CinemaCon, Disney and 20th Century Studios has released the logo for the film along with an offical plot summary.
Prey director Dan Trachtenberg returns to direct this next story about the Yautja, though the setting and characters will be very different, but very cool.
The synopsis reads: “The newest entry in the ‘Predator’ franchise is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator, outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Elle Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.”
The film’s star, Elle Fanning shared at the event: “Something unprecedented happens in this movie, and my character is not the one being chased. My character actually teams up with the Predator, and you get to see him in a whole new light.”
20th Century Studios President Steve Asbell, added: “After Prey became a success, Dan [Trachtenberg] came back and said he didn’t want to do Prey 2. And we’re like, ‘What do you want to do?’ And he rattled off a bunch of ideas that were really crazy but really cool,” the executive explained. “We’ve actually done two of them. Two are coming out next year.”
“One I can’t talk about yet, but the other one is the live-action Predator film with Elle Fanning that just wrapped in New Zealand. That’ll be out theatrically sometime next year.”
He went on to call Badlands “an absolutely bonkers idea” and a “sci-fi thing, but it’s not what everybody thinks it is.”
