In the future on a remote planet, a young Predator outcast from his clan finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Elle Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
Looks fun. I trust the guy after Prey. I am nervous about the Alien crossover again. I don't think it's a completely bad idea within the confines of a alienless movie, but I can't see it culminating in an inspired way.
Wow that looks absolutely terrible. What happened to doing historical movies? Prey was good. I thought the next one was predators vs cowboys, not this generic looking slop.
You're thinking of Predator: Killer of Killers, which will be an animated movie on Hulu by the same director. Not saying it'll be any better, but it's a different thing.
Oh! New to me as well and also looks great! This looks a bit more action packed, and I think will be an easier sell to my buddy. He did not like the more patient at times pace of the last flick, while I ate it up.
It feels good to be excited about Predator flicks.
