'Prey' director Dan Trachtenberg looks back on the elements that made 'Prey' a critical and commercial success — including a female warrior in the lead — and help them earn six Emmy nominations.
was actually looking through the neck of the suit, which included less armor , helping make it look even less humanoid. "The design of the skulls infused with tech furthers the concept of the creature, but also allows for a more horrific aesthetic," Trachtenberg says. "Allowing the mask to not cover up his mandibles allowed for a very visceral, emotional articulation even while it's masked.
There's even room to show the disparity between the fur trappers and the Comanche warriors, as Naru uses her surroundings and the fur trappers' own weapons against them. "Ultimately it's about using your smarts and ingenuity because there's no set of brawn other than fortitude that can allow you to succeed against the impossible," he says. Setting the story in the past also allowsto play with the lore of Predator.
Trachtenberg has been quiet about where he plans to take the story from here, but Naru is set up for more thrilling adventures in. After defeating Predator in the end, Naru steps into a leadership role in her tribe. While she had always hoped to prove herself as a hunter, her capabilities and battle skills against this unknown creature had even greater rewards. "Being in the shoes of a leader will certainly allow for lots of different kinds of stories," he explains.
The mix of critical and popular positive feedback is something Trachtenberg is incredibly proud of. He loves thatshows that a movie can be both enjoyable for fans and celebrated by critics. "It is exciting and doing all the genre things but it's also a more moving experience that is worthy of acknowledgement of awards by peers. It's the best kind of congratulations we could get," he says.
