Since 2018, the 10 Cloverfield Lane and Black Mirror director has spent every waking hour building and refining a new entry in a movie series that's very close to his heart: the Predator franchise. The pressure he feels is understandable. The series' first entry, the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring Predator flick, is revered as one of the best sci-fi movies ever made.

However, the same can't be said of its three sequels, which were mauled by fans and critics upon release. Meanwhile, the less said about the abject Alien vs Predator crossover films, the better. As a diehard Predator fan, Trachtenberg is conscious of the series' diminishing returns.

Other 80s sci-fi franchises, such as Alien and Terminator, haven't fared much better in the 40-plus years since their creation. But, in Aliens and Terminator 2, both series birthed sequels that are arguably superior to their first films – something the Predator franchise can't similarly claim.

Now, the Predator series finally has the chance to put that long-running irritation to bed. The result of Trachtenberg's four-year journey is Prey, a prequel film – although he doesn't personally refer to it as such – that simultaneously looks to revive the series and deliver a Predator movie that fans can be proud of. "I'm a massive fan, so I had my own inner geek to please and not p**s off," Trachtenberg tells TechRadar.

(Image credit: 20th Century Studios) Set in 1719, Prey tells the story of Naru (Amber Midthunder), a Comanche tribeswoman who dreams of being recognized as a fierce and skilled warrior by her people. Determined to prove her worth, Naru heads out into the wilderness to hunt and kill an animal, such as a mountain lion, that'll earn the respect of her peers.

However, the creature Naru winds up tracking is none other than a Yautja, commonly known as a Predator, a bloodthirsty and highly-evolved extraterrestrial with a deadly arsenal of weapons who hunts other species for sport. What ensues is a fraught game of survival as the duo engage in a lengthy battle to determine who the true apex predator is.

Curiously, development on Prey began when 2018's The Predator, the most recent film in the series, was in the middle of its production cycle. Despite their developmental proximity, though, they only thing Prey – conceptualized in 2016 by Trachtenberg and screenwriter Patrick Aison (Kingdom, Treadstone) – and The Predator share is their existence in the same cinematic universe. I really wanted to make something that gets that thrill backDan Trachtenberg, Prey director Given Prey takes place 300 years before events depicted in The Predator, the lack of narrative and character through lines between them is to be expected.

Building a new Predator The Predator's design has been altered for Prey. (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) The 1987 original aside, Predator movies haven't given much, if anything, for diehard fans to get excited about.

Of course, this being an entry that predates others in the franchise's timeline, Prey's Predator had to undergo a redesign. Sure, the Yautja are highly-evolved, technologically advanced aliens but, in 1719, they aren't equipped with some of their most iconic weaponry.

Subsequently, Prey's iteration of the fearsome hunter is more primal and creature-like than, strange as it is to say for a prequel movie, its predecessors. Some similarities remain – the Yautja's mandibles, human-like dreadlocks, sinister clicking noises, cloaking device, and three-pronged lazer reticle to name five. This is the first time that my language will be heard throughout the worldJhane Myers, Prey executive producer The Predator's legendary plasmacaster, chrome-based armor, and recognizable mask, though, are nowhere to be seen; items replaced by three shoulder-mounted ballistic bolts, extremely basic armor (think leather-style shoulder pads), and a bone mask to give the Predator a tactile, nature-based, and antiquated aesthetic.

Prey's version of the Predator comes equipped with new weaponry, including a shield. (Image credit: 20th Century Studios) There's another item in the Predator's armory that gives this interpretation of the alien species a unique feel, too – one that helps to showcase parallels between the Yautja and the humans it's sent to hunt.

It's the first Hollywood production to put Comanche people at the center of its narrative – and at a time when the Comanche Empire was at the peak of its powers. To that end, Prey's cast almost entirely comprises Native and First Nation actors, including Midthunder, an enrolled member of the Fort Peck Sioux Tribe, and proud Hunkpapa Lakota, Sahiya Nakoda, and Sisseton Dakota.

People can stream it as often as they want and they can hear my Native tongue when they watch it. That's amazing to me." But why has it taken so long for Hollywood to recognize and, more importantly, appreciate Comanche and other First Nation cultures, traditions, and people in a positive and inclusive manner? After all, Native Americans have featured in numerous films and TV shows throughout history, but their depiction as nothing more than violent barbarians is a stereotype that's equally outdated and shameful.

Hopefully, projects like Prey, Reservation Dogs, Rutherford Falls, and [Marvel TV series] Echo are proof that studios are less afraid of telling those stories, which makes for better representation. It gives us the opportunity to be represented in a way we're proud of." Just as Prey allows for positive representation of the Comanche lifestyle in a Hollywood movie, the movie's setting and cultural exploration also opens up new avenues for the Predator franchise.

Prey proves that Predator movies don't have to be set in the present or future; a revelation that might lead to later films being set in other time periods. Prey was shot on location in the Stoney Nakoda Nation near Calgary, Canada.

(Image credit: 20th Century Studios) As we note in our Prey review, the film teases the possibility of a sequel, although Trachtenberg kept schtum on the "fun ideas" he has for a likely follow-up. Regardless of whether Disney and 20th Century Studios greenlight more Predator movies, Prey performs its dual role with aplomb: making the Predator franchise worth revisiting, and providing a platform for audiences to educate and immerse themselves in a completely different culture.  "I hope everyone embraces Prey the way I did," Trachtenberg says. "It was challenging to make but, since I was a little kid, I'd dreamed of making a Predator movie.

Away from work, Tom can be found checking out the latest video games, immersing himself in his favorite sporting pastime of football, reading the many unread books on his shelf, staying fit at the gym, and petting every dog he comes across. Got a scoop, interesting story, or an intriguing angle on the latest news in entertainment?
