The popular ‘Predator’ franchise is all set to return with its sixth live-action instalment titled ‘Predator: Badlands’. Elle Fanning has joined the film as Thia, who is a damaged Weyland-Yutani synthetic who forms an uneasy alliance with a predator named Dek.
Explaining her character and its significance to the franchise, Elle Fanning revealed, “This is a Weyland-Yutani synth. Her model knows Genna very, very well. She’s been looking at how this planet works, and she has a lot of information that Dek can use from that.”
Talking about ‘Predator: Badlands’, filmmaker Dan Trachtenberg said in a statement, “Following the movie Prey, I was thinking about what I would do next. I wanted to make, truly, an adventure movie about a monster and a robot. And then it was like, ‘Oh, I know some people that make robots, the Weyland-Yutani Corporation from the Alien franchise that has a linkage to the Predator franchise. What’s interesting in Badlands is you’re seeing different kinds of synthetic units. Usually, the synthetic unit is something that’s meant to blend in with the human crew. But now we find a battalion of synths. These drone hunters that are made to kill.’”
The official synopsis of the film reads, “In the future on a remote planet, a young Predator, outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.”
The movie will release in Indian theatres on 7th November in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi and Mike Homik are also seen in the lead roles.
