Predator: Badlands – The Return of a Sci-Fi Classic
The Predator franchise is set to make a triumphant return to the big screen with the upcoming film, Predator: Badlands. Fans of the iconic series will be thrilled to hear that original Prey director Dan Trachtenberg is once again at the helm, bringing his unique vision to this new installment.
After the success of the 2022 film Prey, which served as a prequel to the Predator franchise, it’s no surprise that Disney-owned 20th Century Studios is eager to continue the story. Prey was met with critical acclaim and garnered numerous awards, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting new chapter in the Predator saga.
A New Chapter in Alien Big-Game Hunting
According to a recent report from AvPGalaxy, filming for Predator: Badlands has been underway in New Zealand since July. The film, which is currently operating under the codename “Backpack,” promises to explore the intricate bond between two very different sisters as they navigate divergent paths and missions.
The casting sheet for the film indicates that the actress set to play the twin sisters must be available in New Zealand between June and September, aligning with reports from the NZ Herald about an American film directed by Trachtenberg filming in the country. The inclusion of the “Backpack” nickname in the NZ Herald’s reporting further solidifies the connection to the upcoming Predator film.
