'BADLANDS' is The Next Solo ‘Predator’ Film From Director Dan Trachtenberg For 20th Century Studios

After rave reviews from fans and critics alike as well as winning a few Emmys, PREY director Dan Trachtenberg is back with a new spinoff film reports Deadline this afternoon.

The film is officially being titled ‘BADLANDS’ and we’re stoked for more Predator goodness!

Trachtenberg is on board to write and direct Badlands.

Deadline reports, “The film is a high priority for the studio and sources say Trachtenberg and execs are already meeting with talent for the lead role.”

The site’s report continues, “Plot details are being kept under wraps other than it featuring everyone’s favorite extraterrestrial big game hunter. It is also not known about release plans as the last film exclusively streamed on Hulu (breaking numerous viewerships records for the streamer) but given that 20th Century has been very much back in the theatrical game with films like Boogeyman and the upcoming Alien: Romulus film bowing in theaters, a theatrical premiere isn’t out of the question.”

Deadline also suggests that 20th Century Studios is all-in on expanding the Predator universe with additional projects, and a direct sequel to Prey is also being discussed at this time.

Filming on Badlands could kick off as early as this year. Stay tuned for more.

We’ll bring yoiu more news on ‘BADLANDS’ as we get it.
