In nuce: Which classic sci-fi film monster once went to the Central American jungle for a showdown with Arnold Schwarzenegger, fought a duel against Danny Glover in the urban jungle a little later – and later found his opponent at Zubeis height in H.R. Giger’s Alien? The Predator, of course (also known as Yautja in the jargon). MPC has now released a VFX breakdown of the latest cinematic spin-off from the Predator universe, Prey. In the VFX breakdown, the extraterrestrial trophy hunter is joined by other predators: Wolf, bear, cat – and the battle-hardened protagonist who takes on the visitor from outer space.
MPC – Prey VFX Breakdown
In toto: Prey marks the first Predator flick to be produced since the Walt Disney Company took over brand owner 20th Century Fox in March 2019. The film was directed by suspense-tested director Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane). The last attempt by 20th Century Fox to bring the predatory alien back to the big screen with The Predator (German title: Predator – Upgrade) by cult director Shane Black (The Nice Guys; Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang; Last Action Hero) fell short of expectations both fiscally and from a critical perspective. Prey, on the other hand, the fifth cinematic incarnation of the Predator IP, was very favourably received by the majority of viewers, but was released exclusively on the streaming service provider Disney-Plus. A Predator hunt on the big screen was therefore unfortunately cancelled. The special feature of Prey: the film is set in the year 1712 and the heroine is the Comanche Nanu. Comanches are an indigenous people of the North American Indians.
