Director Dan Trachtenberg always intended to make Prey a Predator story, no matter what.Speaking with IndieWire, Trachtenberg revealed that in the midst of Disney’s 21st Century Fox acquisition, his production team was briefly concerned about whether they could use the iconic extraterrestrial hunter as its antagonist. When they pitched the idea of substituting the Predator with a different villain entirely, he refused, stating, “When you have to make a brand new creature, you’re competing against all the iconic things. There’s something lovely about Predator where it’s like, ‘Oh, cool, that’s been sorted. I know what it does, it looks awesome. We all love the design of it. It’s got a specific rule set and tool set and all those things.'”Additionally, Trachtenberg believed the Predator’s inclusion made him a strong foil for protagonist Naru (Amber Midthunder) and her desire to become a Comanche hunter. “The thing that makes this awesome is what the Predator brings to it thematically. Not just ‘Look, how cool,’ and ‘We all love Predator,’ but literally what its mode is, what it suggests about our main character just by including it in the movie, with its own code and all that,” he continued. “It made the non-Predator aspects of our film even stronger, so it just felt like, ‘We gotta hold out. This should be a Predator movie. It just makes too much sense.'”RELATED: Prey Director Recalls Casting Amber Midthunder: ‘She Was Incredible’
