A few months ago, it was announced that 10 Cloverfield Lane (watch it HERE) director Dan Trachtenberg is at the helm of a new Predator sequel that he has been working on in secret for the last four years. As it turns out, the project had been going by the codename Skulls, and was said to be about "a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior". Now further information has been discovered by the folks at AVP Galaxy, who have learned that Trachtenberg's Predator movie is going to start filming in Calgary, Canada in May.
According to the production listing, the film will follow
Kee, a Comanche woman who goes against gender norms and traditions to become a warrior. Many years ago – in a time before any Europeans had ever encroached on their lands – the Comanche people had a well defined society and gender norms. Kee is very close to her younger brother, Taabe, who is being groomed as a leader. As capable as any young man in the tribe, Kee has always been a teacher and source of inspiration for Taabe. In the Comanche way – she is Patsi – the elder sister that has helped to shape him. Kee is a truth teller and has insight that others do not. A tomboy, she wants to prove herself in the masculine world of the Comanche. When danger threatens them all – Kee sets out to prove that she is as capable as any young warrior.
As you can see, this project's ties to the Predator franchise are still being kept on the down-low. Still, the idea of having a tribe of Native Americans battle a Predator, presumably in an Old West setting, sounds very appealing to me.
This new Predator movie is being produced by Davis Entertainment, the same company that has been behind the entire series.
