The New ‘Predator’ Movie Will Follow The First Predator Who Came To Earth

Fans of the Predator franchise have been eagerly awaiting more news on the super secretive latest installment from 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg. Well, the wait is temporarily over, as we now have a bit more light to shed on the upcoming installment.
A Slip of the Tongue?
Collider announced a fair bit of information today on Trachtenberg’s addition to the franchise, the biggest part of which was the name, supposedly Skulls. That’s been its working title, which was made public in November of 2020 when Deadline initially announced the project. However, we believe producer John Davis may have misspoken. Our sources have informed us that this is not, in fact, going to be the official title of the film, though we haven’t been given further information on the matter.Regardless, Trachtenberg’s film will focus on the origin story of the Predator’s first journey to Earth and should, as a result, be a callback to the first film’s survivalist tone. “It goes back to what made the original Predator movie work,” Davis told Collider. “It’s the ingenuity of a human being who won’t give up, who’s able to observe and interpret, basically being able to beat a stronger, more powerful, well-armed force.“Considering how Shane Black’s The Predator (2018) went over (ie: not well), I think it’s safe to say this makes us all cautiously optimistic. The first film in the franchise is undoubtedly the strongest, a classic in its own right for many reasons. The idea of bringing it back to what made that film so explosive is genuinely compelling.
