Prey is set to stalk its way onto our screens on August 5, and 20th Century Studios/Hulu have now debuted a new poster and TV spot for the upcoming Predator movie.
The artwork sees the relentless alien hunter, dubbed the "Feral Predator" by fans, standing in a cave entrance as he surveys the surrounding area, no doubt scanning for Comanche warrior Naru (Amber Midthunder). Meanwhile, the promo features some new footage of Naru and her companions attempting to evade the Predator.
During a recent interview, 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg explained why he doesn't necessarily view his film as a prequel.
“I want to specifically say this, because I think there’s been some confusion how people have understood: in my mind, this is not a prequel movie, this isn’t, ‘Let’s tell the origin of the Predator.’ This is really something that’s set prior to the original Predator movie. And the Predator creature in this one, this is its first time travelling to Earth.”
Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, “Prey” is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.
Prey is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, written by Patrick Aison (Jack Ryan, Treadstone), and produced by John Davis (Jungle Cruise, The Predator) and Jhane Myers (Monsters of God), with Lawrence Gordon (Watchmen), Marty Ewing (It: Chapter Two), James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas and Marc Toberoff (Fantasy Island) serving as executive producers.
Prey is set to premiere on the Hulu streaming service on August 5. Keep an eye out for a new trailer very soon!
