Prey Director Reveals Alien Movie Connection To New Predator Costume
Prey director Dan Trachtenberg recently revealed that an Alien movie detail was added to the new Predator costume. The upcoming horror-thriller is a prequel to the monster franchise that began in 1987 with the action hit Predator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, and Jesse Ventura. The film spawned a multimedia franchise that has since spanned 35 years and features five sequels and two crossover films with the Alien franchise.
Set 300 years before the events of the original Predator film, Prey will center on Naru (Amber Midthunder), a young Commanche hunter during a proving ritual who comes face-to-face with a ruthless alien creature. With her people threatened, Naru takes it upon herself to track down and kill the Predator, played by the 6'9" former professional basketball player Dane DiLiegro. As the upcoming film is a prequel, Trachtenberg has previously revealed that the Predator's costume has been tweaked, such as the removal of the Predator's iconic plasmacaster to showcase an earlier less advanced version of the villain. However, a change in the Predator's technology was not the only interesting adjustment to its recognizable look.
