One of the less immediately depressing things about Hollywood’s current overdose on tentpole franchises is that when someone does manage to make some money by doing something creative from the bowels of the IP Dimension—as director Dan Trachtenberg did with his excellent, tense-as-hell Predator installment Prey—they tend to earn a certain measure of carte blanche. We already knew Trachtenberg had gotten the go-ahead to make one new Predator movie, with the upcoming Badlands being positioned to take over the schedule spot vacated by Mahershala Ali’s eternally doomed Blade movie on the 2025 calendar. But now it’s sounding like he actually has made two such films, with 20th Century head honcho Steve Asbell revealing we’ll be getting a bonus Trachtenberg Predator movie some time in 2025.
