Predator: Badlands is the cover feature of the 10th anniversary issue of Den of Geek magazine. I believe it’s free in certain shops in North America and it might be available for free digitally on their website at some point. The cover features a new image of a masked Dek carrying Thia on his back and I think this might be the first time we’ve seen his wristblades.
I believe the accompanying article in the magazine can be found on Den of Geek’s website and features interviews with Dan Trachtenberg, Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi. Fanning describes her character of Thia as quirky and empathetic, while her sister Tessa is “practical and scientific”.
A lot of it is familiar things we’ve heard in other set reports this week, although Trachtenberg did make an interesting comment about a future Alien vs Predator film and future Predator films.
“It’s not Alien versus Predator,” the director insists. “Maybe one day we will get there in an elegant way, but not in a gimmicky way where we’re just taking all the action figures and smashing them together. Maybe we get there if that’s where the stories aspired to go and they make things better for each other.”
With that said, he does have a loose plan. “Before Killer of Killers or Badlands, I wrote for the studio a little universe bible of what we could be doing, all the different things, all the different kinds of movies that could be,” Trachtenberg confirms. However, he is also aware that he’s not the first filmmaker to plan for a future that is far from set in stone. “I break no new ground by saying this. We have to make one movie at a time.”
It does seem like we’re building slowly to a new Alien/Predator crossover film, even if it might not be titled Alien vs Predator. Thanks to Yautja Lore for the news.
