#Everything We Know About Prey, The Predator Prequel, So Far

Amber Midthunder (“Legion”) is starring in “Prey” as Naru, with Dane DiLiegro (“American Horror Stories”), Stefany Mathias (“Longmire”), and relative newcomer Dakota Beavers also playing roles in the film. Elsewhere, behind the camera, Trachtenberg is collaborating on the project with a crew that includes writer Patrick Aison (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan”) and the director’s “10 Cloverfield Lane” cinematographer Jeff Cutter, as well as production designer Kara Lindstrom (“Den of Thieves”) and editor Claudia Castello (“Creed”).

Trachtenberg came out swinging with his feature film directing debut on “10 Cloverfield Lane,” a movie which he, admittedly, had more luck keeping a secret before its marketing began than he did with “Prey.” That said, “Cloverfield Lane” was a nerve-wracking (mostly) single-location thriller that delivered a compelling story and female protagonist while also thriving as an unconventional expansion (or continuation, take your pick) of the original “Cloverfield.” That bodes well for his sophomore effort, which notably shares many of the same basic traits and could be the kick in the pants the “Predator” franchise needs to get back on track.
