Director Dan Trachtenberg, who helms the new Predator movie Prey, opens up about his favorite emotionally charged moment in the upcoming film. Prey is the latest installment in the Predator franchise, trying to set itself apart from its predecessors, offering a unique story that takes place 300 years ago. The film will follow Naru, a skilled Comanche warrior who must protect her tribe from one of the first alien Predators to land on Earth, giving audiences a distinct departure from the modern time period and high-tech weaponry.
Trachtenberg, who previously helmed 10 Cloverfield Lane, is directing from a script by Patrick Aison.

Early screenings for the film have generated positive reviews, many of which point to Prey being the best Predator film since Arnold Schwarzenegger's 1987 original.
