Send us a textWelcome back to DMRThe newest installment in the Predator franchise, Predator: Badlands, breaks new ground by placing a Predator, or Yautja, as its central protagonist. The story follows Dek, a young, outcast Yautja on a quest to prove his worth to his warrior clan by hunting the seemingly unkillable apex predator of the treacherous, alien world of Genna, often called "The Death Planet." His perilous journey leads to an unlikely alliance with an advanced Weyland-Yutani Corporation android named Thia, whose own mission on the hostile planet went sideways. Together, the mismatched pair must navigate the lethal environment, evade Weyland-Yutani forces, and confront a terrifying creature that challenges everything Dek has been taught about the honor of the hunt, making for a thrilling sci-fi survival adventure.The film is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who also helmed the critically acclaimed Prey. The main cast features Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as the Predator protagonist, Dek, and Elle Fanning in the dual role of the androids Thia and Tessa. As of the latest reports, Predator: Badlands has earned over $162 million at the global box office. Critics have embraced the fresh take, awarding it a Certified Fresh 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences have given it an even higher score of 96%.Reminder to grab your 30 day free Audible trial, link in the show; you'll be helping support DMR

Mike and Ian have emerged from the theater to the local BOSTON PIZZA to discuss the latest film from Dan Trachtenberg, Predator: Badlands!Does it hold up to some of our other favourites in the franchise, such as Predator (1987) and Prey (2022)?

“Predator: Badlands” is one of those rare movies. You already expect something good after “Prey,” but then you watch this and it turns out to be one of the most satisfying action films of the year. Disney clearly believed in it too, bumping the budget to about 105 million, which is a big jump from “Prey's” 65 million.Dan Trachtenberg is officially three for three. “Prey,” “Killer of Killers,” (also released in2025, on Hulu and awesome) and now “Badlands.” He delivers a confident, fast, beautifully paced movie that never wastes a moment. It also works as a complete standalone. No homework required. You don't need to be a Predator fan or even a sci-fi fan. The movie just pulls you in as a flat-out fun, kickass action experience.The details are great. The runtime is a perfect one hour and forty-seven minutes. The movie lightly introduces Yautja culture without slowing anything down, and the world-building is clear, exciting, and leaves the door open for the future. There's even a subtle crossover nod that never pulls focus.Elle Fanning is incredible. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi brings a whole new life to the Predator character, making it both terrifying and surprisingly sympathetic. The Kalisk creature is a very fun addition. The invented language is a cool touch. And the villain is genuinely strong without giving anything away.The sound design is excellent, the VFX are top tier, and New Zealand looks unbelievable on screen. Trachtenberg blends real landscapes with massive effects in a way that makes the world feel alive.If there's one small con: you just hope the crossover tease doesn't jinx the success the movie has earned so far.“Badlands” is in theaters now and will likely hit digital platforms in December and stream on Hulu or Disney+ in early 2026.

This episode of Welcome To The Party Pal dissects Predator : Badlands, the science fiction action film and the seventh installment in the Predator franchise. The film was directed by Dan Trachtenberg and written by Patrick Aison from a story by Trachtenberg and Aison. Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi star in leading roles. In the film, Dek, a young Yautja exiled from his clan, crash-lands on a hostile planet and must prove himself worthy of the hunt. Struggling to survive, he forms an unlikely alliance with Thia, a damaged Weyland-Yutani Corporation android, as they face off against an apex predator. In this episode hosts Michael Shields and Douglas Grant journey to the emphatically dangerous planet of Genna with Dek, Thia, and the loveable and dangerous Bud in an episode that celebrates not only Badlands but the entire Predator franchise. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Happy Thanksgiving! Sit down to the table and enjoy our Lodgecast feast as we consume Predator: Badlands! We'll discuss the Predator franchise, including the six movies leading up to Predator: Badlands. Then we'll take you to the hostile planet of Genna, where Dek, a young Yautja, has to kill the apex predator Kalisk. It's a hostile environment, and Dek (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi) is joined by Thia (Elle Fanning), a damaged, legless Weyland-Yutani Corporation synthetic. Predator: Badlands was written by Patrick Aison and directed by Dan Trachtenberg. We indulged in some specialty Predator-themed drinks from the MacGuffins Bar for this special holiday episode!

What am I thankful for this holiday season? Dan Trachtenberg's Prey from 2022. Diane Faye Zerr, who has never been a Predator fan, talks about how much she enjoyed 2022's Prey, savoring every minute of Naru in action, "She doesn't have assault rifles, she doesn't have grenades," says Diane. We also talk about the next movie in the saga, the recently released Predator: Badlands, starring Elle Fanning. Plus, dogs in movies, rights of passage for heroes, sequels as pure money makers, 1979's Alien, the erstwhile smoking sections in theaters, and Alien: Earth.

É válido e importante reafirmar: já faz um tempo que a franquia Predador não trata mais apenas de brucutus fortões lutando contra o caçador alienígena na selva. Após sucessivas tentativas que fracassaram com crítica e público, a franquia Predador foi completamente revitalizada nas mãos do diretor Dan Trachtenberg. Aproveitando a estreia nos cinemas do mais novo título, Predador: Terras Selvagens, o RdMCast desta semana olha também para O Predador: A Caçada (Prey), além do também lançado em 2025 Predador: Assassino de Assassinos, para analisar a fórmula de sucesso que expandiu enormemente os horizontes da franquia. Entre discussões sobre o papel social da caça, crossovers com a franquia Alien e os vários easter eggs que conectam a franquia, finalmente aprendemos a pronunciar o nome de Dan Trachtenberg.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 334: Jeff Cutter Cinematographer Jeff Cutter first collaborated with director Dan Trachtenberg on 10 Cloverfield Lane. Their successful partnership continued on the Predator prequel, Prey, which became Hulu's most-watched streaming premiere. Jeff and Trachtenberg found they had a strong bond over their mutual interests, such as films like Die Hard with “muscular” camerawork. As gamers, the two often use cinematic moments and cutscenes from both videogames and movies as visual references during pre-production meetings. For Predator: Badlands, Tractenberg created a previsualization (previs) of the major sequences. He and Jeff then discussed the overall visual tone and the right approach for the camerawork. A key thought exercise they use is determining how each scene could be shot as a oner, even if the final plan doesn't involve a single-take sequence. Jeff explains, “The exercise just lets us, it really lets you figure out who is the scene about? What is the context and what is the subtext?” He finds that it's a creative way to focus and narrow down the visual choices to make each scene distinct. Jeff built upon the visual foundation he established for Prey. For that film, he and Trachtenberg wanted to subvert audience expectations of a Predator movie, focusing on a naturalistic approach that relied as much as possible on natural daylight, firelight, and moonlight as the primary sources. Defining the Predator: Badlands look by color palette: -The Yautja Planet (Predator Home World): Jeff chose a distinct brown and blue palette accented with warm tones. The look is designed to evoke a sense of harsh but beautiful reality, defined by sandy deserts and stark rock formations. -The Planet Gena: Shot partly on location in New Zealand, this environment called for a greener, more naturalistic look, with a bluer color for nighttime scenes. -The Weyland-Yutani Base: This section connects Predator: Badlands to the larger Alien universe, notably through the Weyland-Yutani corporation and its synthetic main character, Thia (played by Elle Fanning). Inspired by the industrial, ominous atmosphere and moody lighting of films like Aliens and Prometheus, Cutter aimed for an industrial look dominated by cyan, blue, and green tones.

Daniel Parra reviews the new installment in the Predator series, "Predator: Badlands directed by Dan Trachtenberg. He talks about the clear video game and anime influences, the creative action and breaks down what makes this Predator entry so different. If you're looking for an analysis on Predator: Badlands. Look no further!The real question is...did you love it, did you hate it, or are you Somewhere Between?

PREPARE YOURSELVES: the first ever double review episode is upon YOU!!!! In what can only be described as a historic “creature double feature”, the verbose Watch/Skip Plus guys take on TWO movies in one episode - stripped down, no pluses, quick intro's, full on movie review glory! First up, yet another reinvention for the Predator franchise, Predator Badlands crash lands in theatres. Dan Trachtenberg (director of the last two Predator films - Prey and the animated Hulu exclusive Predators:Killer of Killers) gambles that audiences will take to a Predator film from the vantage point of the Predator itself. Did this perspective shift/PG-13 CGI fest work or should it be trophy killed as prey? Next up, Pod-Father Sam U. Rai from the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema sneaks in and the three take on the much anticipated Frankenstein, a little streamer exclusive on Netflix from wonderkind, monster-lover Guillermo Del Toro. After all the adaptations of Mary Shelley's thought-provoking novel,  did Del Toro build us a better masterpiece or are his creative excesses (brilliant and visually appealing as they are) taking the sheen off his usual visionary style? PS: Listen on to find out the weird James Cameron connection and the similar themes in both films!GET THIS DOUBLE INSIDE YOU………NOW!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser04:52 Predator Badlands: The Franchise13:17 Predator Badlands: Below the Line / The Crew 18:22 Predator Badlands: Above the Line / The Cast20:40 Predator Badlands Spoiler Free Thoughts33:08 Predator Badlands SPOILED!43:29 Frankenstein: Intro44:17 Frankenstein: Below the Line / The Crew 49:24 Frankenstein: Above the Line / The Cast58:23 Frankenstein: Spoiler Free Thoughts 01:24:05 Frankenstein SPOILED!01:47:29 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#predatorbadlands #dantrachtenberg #ellefanning #dimitriusschusterkoloamatangi #patrickaison #sarahschachner #benjaminwallfisch #jeffcutter #20thcenturystudios #fox #disney #tsgentertainment #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #oscarisaac #jacobelordi #christophwaltz #miagoth #felixkammerer #charlesdance #danlaustsen #alexandredesplat #bluegrassfilms #demilofilms #doubledareyou #ggtmc #jamescameron #berniewrightson

Predator: Badlands shouldn't be this good. MonteCristo and DoA went in expecting another forgettable franchise sequel and came out calling it the best Predator film since 1987. In this episode of Nerd Legion, the hosts break down how Dan Trachtenberg turned a dormant IP into a bold, emotional, and surprisingly funny sci-fi blockbuster. They discuss the film's unexpected focus on the Predator's culture and honor code, Elle Fanning's dual performance, and how the movie manages to feel both classic and completely new. From the inventive world-building to the subtitled alien language and practical effects, Predator: Badlands proves that simple stories told well still hit the hardest. The conversation also detours into Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein, the curse of bloated superhero films, and why Hollywood keeps forgetting how to make tight, self-contained action movies.

Sean is joined by Chris Ryan to avenge their Yautja brethren on planet Genna and cover Dan Trachtenberg's ‘Predator: Badlands,' starring Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. Before diving in though, they briefly cover a handful of movie news headlines, including the reporting that Ryan Reynolds is remaking the 1970s crime film ‘Thunderbolt and Lightfoot' for Amazon MGM (2:35). Next, they unpack the new 'Predator' legacy sequel and make the case for why it wouldn't work without Fanning's performance, explain why Trachtenberg has a clear eye for titillating action set piece filmmaking, and discuss its big box office success and wonder what it represents at large (7:39). Then, they rank every film in the 'Predator' franchise (43:38). Host: Sean Fennessey Guest: Chris Ryan Producers: Jack Sanders and Bex Donnelly Learn more about your ad choices.
