‘Predator: Badlands’ Wants to be a Relationship Story

The upcoming "Predator: Badlands" aims to offer a fresh take on the popular sci-fi franchise, focusing on a relationship-driven narrative. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg, the film is set to debut on November 7, presenting a departure from the typical action-heavy Predator stories. According to Trachtenberg, the new installment will prioritize character development and the exploration of human relationships, rather than solely emphasizing the iconic Predator creature. The director's goal is to create a more intimate and emotionally engaging cinematic experience for viewers. While details about the plot and characters remain scarce, the film's focus on the human element within the Predator universe suggests a departure from the franchise's traditional formula. Trachtenberg's approach promises to provide a fresh perspective and a more nuanced exploration of the themes and dynamics that have made the Predator series a beloved sci-fi franchise. Fans of the Predator franchise can look forward to a unique and potentially more introspective take on the iconic sci-fi property when "Predator: Badlands" premieres later this year.
