Empire Magazine's August 2022 issue features a highlight of Dan Trachtenberg's upcoming Predator prequel, Prey and with it, a few new images from the movie! Not only that, Empire's August preview also features an interview with Trachtenberg where he reveals the Predator in Prey will not come equipped with the iconic Plasma Caster weapon:
The Premise is David versus Goliath – I didn’t want to make Goliath smaller. It doesn’t have its plasma caster, but it does have heat vision and other tools.
There is also talk of the film's Comanche dub being more sophisticated than old English dubbed Kung Fu movies:
It’s a little more sophisticated than perhaps our memory of watching dubbed movies. There’s a lip-match [choosing words to match the actor’s mouth movements as closely as possible] that we do now. It won’t be like watching old kung fu movies.
