Dan Trachtenberg knows we want more Predator, especially if he’s in charge, and we may have our wish. The filmmaker recently confirmed he’s cooking up a fourth film following the hit Prey and his two subsequent offerings.
Trachtenberg recently joked that he “sort of rushed” with the animated Predator: Killer of Killers film and the upcoming live-action Predator: Badlands just to get this other project moving.
“After Prey came out, and I started thinking about sequel stuff, there were three ideas that I had. Killers is one, Badlands is two, and the third one is something else,” the filmmaker says to SFX magazine. “The reason why I felt possessed to make them and sort of why I rushed – I did two at once because I could do, I could multitask with animation – was because I was so eager to get to the third thing.”
“There’s a lot of cool ideas out there, and none of them are just like, ‘Oh, we have to say the next part of this story because it was successful.’ All of it is like, ‘Whoa, no one has done that in sci-fi. No one has done that in Predator. No one’s done that with the creature; all of those ideas are generated from that instinct. So, yeah, there is definitely a third thing that I’d love to get to when Badlands is finished.”
