As a die-hard fan of the Predator franchise, I can hardly contain my excitement for this upcoming installment, titled Badlands. The fact that it’s being helmed by Dan Trachtenberg, who delivered an outstanding take on the franchise with Prey, only adds to my anticipation.
Information about the upcoming Predator film, currently known as Badlands, has been leaked, offering glimpses into the storyline, characters, and confirmation that filming has started in New Zealand. The details were shared by AVPGalaxy, who discovered the production code name for the movie, Backpack, and went on to find a synopsis and interesting character details about the principal cast members.
The upcoming film “Badlands” is set to be directed by Dan Trachtenberg, known for his work on “Prey.” Elle Fanning, star of “The Great,” has been cast as the lead. Although specifics about the Predator-related project are yet to be revealed, it’s said that the movie will take place in the not-too-distant future. However, the leaked details don’t seem to align with typical Predator film characteristics. Given Trachtenberg’s past work, it’s reasonable to expect he’ll bring a fresh approach to the famous franchise. Here’s a rumored summary of the plot:
“Summary: An innovative movie that explores the complex relationship between two distinct sisters. Their familial bond is stretched to its limits when they follow separate journeys and undertake disparate tasks.”
Badlands Will Find Elle Fanning Playing Dual Roles
In terms of the primary characters, it appears that “Badlands” will feature Sasha Fanning in twin roles as Thia and Tessa. Thia, who has been confined largely to a lab, is embarking on her first major journey outside. On the other hand, Tessa exhibits a strong-willed determination when pursuing her family’s objectives and missions. For more details about the casting, you can refer to the call below:
As I prepare for an exciting opportunity, I find myself embodying two distinct characters – Thia and Tessa. While both characters identify as female or non-binary, ethnicities are open. Age-wise, we’re looking at mid 20s to mid 40s.
Back in February, it became known that Dan Trachtenberg would be leading the Predator series, directing both the film Badlands and a sequel to the movie Prey. Originally released by 20th Century Studios as a Hulu original in 2022, Prey rekindled the Predator franchise, introducing an alien hunter in 1719 and placing it against Amber Midthunder’s character, a young Comanche warrior named Naru. The movie received positive reviews, sparking demands for a sequel from fans. Now, Trachtenberg is also working on the development of Prey 2, having previously hinted at his plans for the sequel. As mentioned earlier…
“At last, you posed a thoughtful question! Whenever people ask me about potential sequels, it’s often like this: they see something unique and exciting, then a follow-up comes along that…well, it’s just more of the same. It’s not what made the original special. Therefore, when contemplating sequels, the main focus is always on creating something extraordinary, something fresh and unprecedented, not just for the Predator series, but for this genre as a whole. Can we continue to deliver something unique and captivating?”
