Predator: Badlands has managed to get a PG-13. The reason? This time, the Predator-led punishment won’t be dished out to humans. Instead, an array of non-human lifeforms will be slaughtered. This all feels a bit racist to me. Alien lives matter!
As the release draws near, 20th Century Studios has released the first clip from the Dan Trachtenberg-directed follow-up to Prey. I enjoyed Prey, so I will give this a chance.
The clip shows the Yautja fighting off an attack from Predator-eating plants. Now I have to apologise for using the word “Yautja”. This is as unforgivable as using the word “Kaiju” and could lead to me being deservedly confused with the kind of person who thinks wearing a fedora is a substitute for having a personality. I have brought shame on myself and my family.
The clip first dropped on IGN and he also gave an interview (as reported by Dark Horizons) where he spoke about the Predator and his equipment:
“He starts out with a number of really cool gadgets. I’ve always felt like there’s a link between the Predator franchise and James Bond. Part of what we enjoy about going to see it is like, what kind of gizmos does he have?
I’ve been stuck in the past with my entries into the franchise, with Prey set in the 1700s and Killer of Killers set in multiple different decades. But all in the past, so I’ve always had to think, what would his weaponry be if it was a little bit more pre what we’re used to seeing?
Now I’m well into the future. So he’s got laser bows, has an awesome laser sword that has multiple modes. His sword that he uses, he holds like a classic knight or samurai would, but then it switches it into a different mode and he can use it almost like a glaive.”
Predator: Badlands opens exclusively in movie theaters on November 7, including IMAX.
“Predator: Badlands” opens in cinemas on November 7th.
