🎬 Exclusive: More Predator Movies Are Ahead Says Dan Trachtenberg

Dan Trachtenberg is developing both original ideas and possible IP at Paramount but still isn’t ready to let go of Predator, as confirmed in our exclusive interview.

While industry news is not the normal fare we explore at Den of Geek, some of the exclusive interviews that appear on the site and in the magazine can provide readers with a unique behind-the-scenes look at how Hollywood operates. Today’s headliner interview with writer-director Dan Trachtenberg, for example, is ostensibly about him signing a first-look deal with Paramount, but beyond that, it’s about our excitement that more franchise entries like Predator: Badlands are on the way.

Similarly, our interview with Halle Berry gave us a peek at her experience with some of the uglier aspects of Hollywood as it applies to aging female actors fighting discrimination, but that pain directly informed her performance in Crime 101, opening this weekend. And the final featured story shares an actor’s insight about a 20-year-old show’s relevance in today’s political climate. That’s the thing about art — it can have layers of meaning that change over time! Take it for what you will.
