Prey

The “Predator” franchise gets a prequel and the Comanche Nation gets a space invader in this unremarkable adventure.

Yet despite a female-empowerment theme and an adversary fairly bristling with fancy weaponry, “Prey” never builds a head of steam. Taking note of the bloody remains, Naru (Amber Midthunder), a young Comanche woman, and her brother (Dakota Beavers) determine to track the perpetrator. Dropped out of a spaceship in the Northern Great Plains in 1719, the beast proceeds to research the local wildlife.

The larger Predators prey on the smaller, weaker versions as they continue to hybridize their DNA with other creatures in order to become the apex version of their species. After the group meets up with Nolan (Fishburne), he informs them that they are actually on an alien planet, the home territory for the Predators. He’s survived a few seasons there and gathered that the Predators abduct and collect warriors and beasts from other planets to sharpen their hunting skills on. Directed by Nimród Antal (Stranger Things), the third installment in the Predator franchise has a double meaning, referring to both the alien Predator and the group of people hunting it. Gary Busey (The Buddy Holly Story) is introduced as Special Agent Peter Keyes, a replacement for Schwarzenegger’s character, Dutch, from the previous film. Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in the original Predator as he leads a team of men on a mission in the jungles of Central America. While there, the team is stalked and hunted by a creature that uses a cloaking device to avoid being seen. Set during a massive 1997 heatwave in Los Angeles, the Predator returns to wreak havoc.

Prey movie review: A lean, mean feminist re-imagining of the famously masculine Predator franchise, director Dan Trachtenberg's second feature film is just ...

Prey is both a solid genre picture with a series of imaginatively filmed kill sequences and an inward-looking drama about a young person trying to find her place in the world. She carries the film almost entirely on her shoulders, and is skilled not only in the action sequences — there’s a lot of axe-throwing, skulking around, and hand-to-hand fighting — but also in the many dramatic detours that the story takes. It was going to be a prequel, they said, and if you prodded further, you’d hear a tantalising half-truth about the film being in a foreign language. Amber Midthunder stars as the young Naru, who struggles to fit in with her brother and his cocky friends in the dog-eat-dog world that they inhabit. And when they refuse to believe her when she tells them that she’s actually seen the predator on a rampage, she goes on personal a mission to prove to her bullies (but mostly to herself) that she isn’t worthless. Set in the Comanche Nation during the early 1700s, Prey tells the story of Naru, a warrior who discovers that her tribe might be under threat from a mysterious hunter far more formidable than the grizzlies and cougars that they usually encounter.

Prey 2 is hinted at by the end credits of new Predator movie, so here's everything you need to know, including potential release date, cast and more.

Prey is largely a self-contained story and there isn't a credit scene. It's equally possible that if we did get a sequel, it'll follow an entirely new story or skip forward in the timeline. After all, if Naru has proved herself such a worthy adversary, then other Predators will want to take their shot. If a sequel does get confirmed, we should get a better idea of when we might expect it. The new Predator movie takes us back to 1719 and centres on Comanche warrior Naru ( Amber Midthunder) who wants to become a hunter. The first movie was filmed from May to September 2021 ahead of its release on August 5, 2022.

Eventually, some French trappers also come into the equation (they are more fodder for the Predator) with their plans for killing the beast. Amber Midthunder is up to the challenge in Prey, immediately cementing herself as a must-see action heroine; she is a fierce force to be reckoned with. Emphasized in this Comanche tribe are siblings Naru (Amber Midthunder) and Taabe (Dakota Beavers), with the former eager to prove and assert herself in hunting. Naturally, this creates some internal drama as they try to rescue one of their own (no one knows what mauled him) and return to the campsite. Here, he is re-envisioning the Predator franchise and flipping the script with Prey (the 10 Cloverfield Lane filmmaker is also using a script from Patrick Aaison), an origin story that refreshingly focuses on the arrival of the extraterrestrial species and its matchup against an 18th-century Comanche tribe. Naru, a skilled female warrior, fights to protect her tribe against one of the first highly-evolved Predators to land on Earth.

Everything you need to know about the climax to the Predator prequel.

When it emerges it attempts to shoot Naru, but is unaware that she has placed its helmet directly opposite it, it is only able to succeed in shooting itself. It doesn't seem like her warrior skills will be underestimated again any time soon... "But that's what makes me dangerous – you can't see that I'm killing you, and it won't either." And so, with her life still intact, Naru lays a trap. With her mission accomplished, Naru returns to her tribe with the Predator's disembodied head as a trophy and is showered with praise for her efforts. The first step of her plan is to kidnap one of the surviving French fur trappers, leaving him for the Predator as bait, while she waits in the wings in disguise.

Amber Midthunder stars in Prey, a standalone prequel to the 1987 classic Predator, as “Naru,” a First Nations hunter who faces off with a Predator invader.

They started in the back of the room and moved stealthily through until they got all the way to the front towards me. “We created with Kevin a Native tactical sign language,” explains Myers. “Even in their off time [the cast] would go down the river and use it to talk to each other. In the middle of the conversation, the entire tribe shot up and had bows and arrows pointed at me. “I walked over after the first take and said, ‘Maybe do a little shh.’ We do a take and it was awesome. I turned to the DP [director of photography] next to me and I was like, ‘This feels familiar. In the middle of Prey, a “mud pit sequence” mirrors another scene from Predator which Trachtenberg says was an unintentional parallel. “We created a sign language,” Midthunder says. “That's what links them, on top of the obvious things we sought after to include in the movie.” Producer Jhane Myers, a Comanche and Blackfeet American film and TV producer, says the production worked with Kevin Starblanket, a First Nations individual with a background in military, law enforcement, and survival tactics. We had it on a hard drive and dissected certain points and took a lot of inspiration from it.” Naru is eager to prove her worth as a hunter for her village despite the sexist assumption that a young woman can’t assume such a role in her community. Naru is a total badass in her own right as she studies the Predator’s advanced tools and uses them to fight back against her adversary.

See how Amber Midthunder’s Naru measures up against Dane DiLiegro’s Predator by streaming Prey (opens in new tab), which is available on Hulu now. In November 2021, Kipp won Best Actor at the American Indian Film Festival for his lead role in Sooyii — a 2021 drama co-written and directed by stuntman Krisztian Kery about a young Pikuni man who mysteriously becomes the only survivor of a deadly curse that spreads throughout his village. Among the other beastly acting credits DiLiegro has under his belt so far are his uncredited debut role as “Hero Walker” on Season 10 of The Walking Dead and the “Muscle Monster” on Netflix’s South Korean post-apocalypse drama, Sweet Home, from 2020. However, artistic performance is not lost on Beavers, who is also a successful musician and has been active in the art since he was 13. The role of Naru — a Comanche warrior who comes face-to-face with the Predator in Prey — is one that Native American actor Amber Midthunder was born to play, marking her first time leading an action movie after years of supporting roles in the genre. Midthunder made her acting debut at 4 years old alongside her father, Westworld’s David Midthunder, in 2001’s The Homecoming of Jimmy Whitecloud before landing her first speaking role in 2008’s Sunshine Cleaning and later earning more prominent starring spots in movies like the 2016 drama, Priceless, the horror movie 14 Cameras in 2018, and the thriller Only Mine from 2019.
