Predator: Badlands

The latest Predator movie, Badlands, directed by Dan Trachtenberg of Prey, flips the franchise formula—this time following a young Predator named Dek on a distant world called Genna. Seeking to earn his clan’s respect, Dek allies with Thia, a damaged android from Weyland-Yutani. The PG-13 film, shot in New Zealand, explores Predator culture and the home planet Yautja Prime—making it the first in the series told mainly from the alien’s view.

Set in the future on a deadly remote planet, “Badlands” follows a young Predator outcast (played by newcomer Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) who finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Elle Fanning) as he embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. Produced by John Davis, Dan Trachtenberg, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt and Brent O’Connor, “Predator: Badlands” opens exclusively in movie theaters on November 7 in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, RealD (3D), Cinemark XD, 4DX, ScreenX and premium screens everywhere.
