20th Century Studios has shared\u00a0the first trailer and poster (via SFFGazette.com<\/a>) for Predator: Badlands,\u00a0the newest entry in the Predator\u00a0franchise, directed by Dan Trachtenberg (Prey).<\/p>\n

The trailer sets the tone for a movie that looks vastly different to Prey. This\u00a0Yautja appears to be quite a bit smaller than what we’re used to seeing on screen, and is shown doing battle with\u00a0much larger hunters.<\/p>\n

However, his smaller stature makes him a different kind of beast, something that’s evident here as he runs nimbly through the battlefield. It’s also refreshing not to see a Predator hunting humans on Earth.<\/p>\n

In fact, it seems we’re going to further explore the culture and dynamic of these formidable aliens, which feels like it could lead perfectly into a new space-set Alien vs. Predator movie down the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, that’s confirmed with the revelation that Thia is a\u00a0Weyland-Yutani android. The logo can be seen on her uniform and in the scene where her eyes go blank. Clearly, something is in the works as Disney looks to connect the two franchises.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Talking at CinemaCon earlier this month, Fanning said,\u00a0“Something unprecedented happens in this movie, and my character is not the one being chased. My character actually teams up with the Predator, and you get to see him in a whole new light.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fanning also confirmed that the movie sets out to answer the question,\u00a0“What if the Predator was a good guy?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The creature is front and centre, leading the charge,”<\/strong>\u00a0Trachtenberg revealed\u00a0last year.\u00a0“He\u2019s still badass, but there\u2019s something there that touches you emotionally, too. Creating a character you connect with, but are also super-intimidated by, has been challenging. But exciting.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The filmmaker\u00a0would go on to explain that he wanted to\u00a0“find another essential piece of cinema that does what Prey did spiritually \u2014 pushing the franchise\u2019s boundaries, letting us root for a hero we rarely get to root for \u2014 but in a different way. And that transformed into this big idea of rooting for the Predator.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The movie, which stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator (Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.<\/p>\n

As noted,\u00a0Trachtenberg directs and produces\u00a0Predator: Badlands alongside John Davis, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt, and Brent O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n

Predator: Badlands opens exclusively in movie theaters on November 7 in IMAX, Dolby Cinema, Cinemark XD, 4DX, ScreenX, and premium screens everywhere.<\/p>\n
