Everything We Learned From The Prey Trailer
There are many new details, reveals, and nods to prior films in the trailer for Prey, the latest entry in the Predator franchise. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane), Prey stars Amber Midthunder as Naru, a Comanche hunter who must face the Predator when it arrives on her land in 1719. Prey is the first prequel film in the franchise, taking place 268 years before the events of the first film, Predator, which is set in 1987 in the jungles of South America.
In addition to Midthunder, the film stars a cast made up almost entirely of Indigenous American and First Nation’s talent, including Midthunder, Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp, Michelle Thrush, and Julian Black Antelope. The new trailer for Prey features several callbacks to previous films in the series, most notably the first film, including its rural setting, cat-and-mouse chase dynamics, and the theme of a lone warrior squaring off against the alien threat. The last film in the franchise, The Predator, took place in modern times, predominantly in urban areas, making Prey something of a return to type for the series.
