Predator Prequel Will Take Place In Very Interesting Setting

Predator is a 1987 American science fiction action horror film authored by brothers Jim and John Thomas and directed by John McTiernan. The first instalment starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as the captain of an elite paramilitary rescue team on a mission to retrieve captives in guerrilla-held territory in the Central American rainforest, who are stalked and hunted down by the deadly Predator, a technologically superior alien.

The Predator franchise returns this summer with the release of Prey, a brand new prequel movie. While there is still no information about the release date, some new details about the Hulu film have surfaced. Fans can expect the movie to hit theatres this summer.

The president of 20th Century Studios Steve Asbell discussed about the prequel with The Hollywood Reporter. Asbell revealed that the audience can expect big creative swings from the movie. The prequel is set in the Great Plains in 1719.

In order to meet the volume that we are looking at — which is, by 2023, 10-plus movies just for streaming — it’s going to be a combination of originals in those genres. And coolest of all for fans, we get to find bold takes on beloved Fox properties. You can take big creative swings — which you’ll see with Prey, which we’ll launch this summer. A Predator movie set in the Great Plains in 1719 by Dan Trachtenberg. That’s what this allows us to do.
