20 Century Studios unveiled the official trailer for Prey, a prequel to the Predator franchise. Because the prequel’s set in the Comanche Nation, the filmmakers were determined to cast Native and First Nation talent, with Roswell, New Mexico star Amber Midthunder leading the indigenous cast and Native Comanche Jhane Myers producing.
Prey will break new ground when it’s released on Hulu as the first-ever feature-length film available on a streaming platform to include a Comanche language option and Comanche subtitles.
In addition to Amber Midthunder, the cast includes Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp (Sooyii), Michelle Thrush (The Journey Home), Julian Black Antelope (Tribal), and Dane DiLiegro (American Horror Stories) as the Predator. Dan Trachtenberg (The Boys) directed from a screenplay by Patrick Aison (Jack Ryan, Treadstone). John Davis (The Predator) and Marty Ewing (It: Chapter Two) produced, and Lawrence Gordon (Watchmen), Ben Rosenblatt (Snowpiercer), James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas, and Marc Toberoff executive produced.
The Predator prequel will be released on Hulu on August 5, 2022.
20th Century Studios released the following description:
“Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, Prey is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.”
