Predator: Badlands turns franchise villain into a hero

Predator: Badlands is directed by Dan Trachtenberg from a story he co–wrote with Patrick Aison. It is the ninth film in the Predator franchise. In the latest outing though, the Predator turns into a saviour. It is also the first movie in the franchise where the Predator is the lead character. Trachtenberg said at a Comic-Con showcase of the film that one inspiration was the realisation that “The Predator never wins.” He wanted to see what that would look like, without making a slasher film.
