The first trailer for Dan Trachtenberg’s animated movie Predator: Killer of Killers takes the hunt through time.
The first trailer for Dan Trachtenberg’s Predator: Killers of Killers has stalked its way into animation. Last year, Trachtenberg surprised everyone by announcing he was developing two new Predator projects following the success of Prey. The first of these projects is a futuristic live-action sequel, Predator: Badlands, starring Elle Fanning. This film was presented at CinemaCon last week and generated a buzz of excitement online.
The second project has been confirmed as an animated anthology that follows the Predator through time, showcasing their lethal skills against various prey. Until now, the studio had revealed little about the project besides a vague synopsis. However, today, that changed when 20th Century Studios released the first trailer for the film. Titled Predator: Killer of Killers, this all-new animated anthology will follow the iconic alien hunter on an adventurous quest across time. What is its prey? Earth’s greatest heroes, of course! Before the hunt begins, scroll down to watch the trailer below.
SYNOPSIS
The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent – the ultimate killer of killers.
Trachtenberg crafted the screenplay with Micho Robert Rutare and directed the animated feature alongside Josh Wassung of the animation company The Third Floor.
RELEASE
What an epic new trailer. The Predator franchise has always been one of the most diverse in the pantheon of Hollywood’s best. However, the transition to animation has liberated the intellectual property, allowing director Trachtenberg to explore areas that other filmmakers often avoid. The results look stunning, and with the release date officially set for June 6th, this summer is shaping up to be an open season for fans.
Predator: Killer of Killers will be released exclusively through the Hulu streaming service on June 6th. UK fans will be able to catch the film on Disney Plus.
