Out of nowhere, 20th Century Studios boss Steve Asbell just dropped a major bomb on us! Not only is Dan Trachtenberg's Badlands hitting theaters next November, but there is a second, secret Predator movie that's coming out sooner! This other Predator film is also directed by Dan Trachtenberg. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, based on Asbell's wording, it sounds like this other film might be a streaming release title, rather than another theatrical one, check it out:
Asbell: Yes, a Predator movie will have a theatrical. I’ll tell you very simply. 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. 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.
THR: You’re blowing my mind. Let’s tackle this one at time. One Predator movie is coming out theatrically?
It’s titled Badlands and it is an absolutely bonkers idea. It is a sci-fi thing, but it’s not what everybody thinks it is. And I mean, it’s awesome. It is so nuts. But in Dan, we trust.
Now you said there’s a second Predator movie.
There’s a second Predator movie that we have different plans for. Dan has actually directed both.
So there’s a secret Predator movie—
There’s a secret Predator movie that will come out before the theatrical one but I can’t say anything about yet.
We're pretty speechless right now! As we learn more about this additional, mysterious new Predator film we'll be sure to keep you updated!
