When writer & director Dan Trachtenberg was developing Predator: Badlands, he \u201calways wanted no humans\u201d\u00a0which led him down the path of synthetic characters, then to Weyland-Yutani. Elle Fanning, the actor cast to play the film\u2019s synthetic characters Thia and Tessa, also looked to the Alien franchise for inspiration while filming Predator: Badlands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went to see\u00a0Alien: Romulus\u00a0while we were shooting,\u201d Fanning tells\u00a0Empire. \u201c[Jonsson] is\u00a0such\u00a0a great actor.\u201d Across the film, Jonsson plays Andy in various modes \u2013 firstly as the slightly stuttering brother to Cailee Spaeny\u2019s Rain Carradine, before he gets a slick and sinister software upgrade that changes his demeanour entirely. \u201cThat was informative for me, to see him step outside of other synths and create his own version,\u201d says Fanning. \u201cIt gave me confidence to create my own thing, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of Elle\u2019s own dual performance as Thia and Tessa in Predator: Badlands, she told Empire that:<\/p>\n

\u201cLuckily, I [rarely] had to play both the same day. But it was daunting playing Weyland-Yutani synths. Think about the list of people who\u2019ve played one!\u201d<\/p>\n
