«Хижак: Пустка»
Teaser trailer Predator: Badlands presented the first look at a unique predator that has an ally among humans.
20th Century Studios has shown how the movie differs significantly from the previous installments of the franchise. Instead of the usual story about people trying to survive against hunters from outer space, the focus this time is on the Predator itself. Apparently, he will be the main character.
According to the plot, a young Predator, expelled from his clan, teams up with a human heroine named Tia (Elle Fanning). Together, they embark on a «treacherous journey searching for the ultimate enemy», as the official synopsis states. Fanning said that her character is not just hiding from the Predator, as in the previous installments. On the contrary — she becomes his ally, and we will see them in an entirely new light».
There are several things in the trailer that are atypical for the series. First, the Predator looks different and behaves differently from a typical hunter. Secondly, the movie may be connected to the «Aliens» universe: the heroine’s eyes show the interface of «Weyland-Yutani», and one of the cars has the logo of this corporation on it. This may hint that A.I. is a synthetic, not a human. In any case, this is the first «Predator» that so explicitly shifts the focus from human survival to the story of the alien itself.
The film was directed by Dan Trachtenberg, director of the prequel «Prey» (Prey), which became the most successful movie on Hulu. He co-wrote the script with Patrick Eyson.
Although «Prey 2» is still in development, «Predator: Wasteland» will be the sixth feature film in the franchise and will be released separately from Hulu starting November 7, 2025. But before it comes another «secret» movie about «Predator». 20th Century Studios also announced the sequel to the movie «Alien: Romulus»— probably again under the leadership of Fede Alvarez.
