How The Original Predator Movie Influenced The Plot For Prey Explained By Director

Prey director Dan Trachtenberg reveals the major influence that the original Predator movie had on his critically acclaimed prequel. Set in the Northern Great Plains during the early 18th century, 2022’s Prey saw Amber Midthunder’s Comanche warrior Naru face off against a Predator centuries before Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Major Dutch Schaefer did the same in the jungles of Central America. Praised for its simplicity and character-driven plot, Trachtenberg’s film is widely hailed as the most successful continuation of the Predator franchise since the original 1987 movie.
