More about Predator: Badlands
Predator: Badlands is produced by Dan Trachtenberg, John Davis, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt, and Brent O'Connor. Here's a list of its cast members:
- Elle Fanning as Thia/Tessa
- Reuben De Jong as Father
- Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi as Dek/Njohrr/Apex Predator
- Mike Homik as Kwei
- Cameron Brown as Drone Synth
- Rohinal Nayaran as Bud
In a THR interview, Trachtenberg revealed that he wanted to give a peek into the Predators' world with this film. He said,
"On the other hand, Badlands is not the origin story of the Predator. It is not a deep dive into the lore of Yautja culture or even one particular character."
He added,
"So I’ve carefully opened the door ever so slightly to give you a little bit more of a peek into that culture and code, without having the movie be more lore-focused than story-focused. I’ve given you just enough narrative underpinnings to connect to Dek and root for him on the gauntlet that he has to go through."
Predator: Badlands is edited by Trachtenberg and Stefan Grube, while Jeff Cutter served as the director of photography.
