Prey director Dan Trachtenberg reveals he knew Amber Midthunder was right for the role 'from the beginning.'
Though it premiered at the start of the month, the new Predator movie Prey is continuing to make fans around the world, along with reviving the franchise in a big way. Unlike previous movies in the series, this one is set hundreds of the years in the past but also has a young woman as its lead rather than a macho, muscled out marine.
"Frankly, I knew it the second that we met. We we did an initial audition over Zoom or FaceTime, pre-pandemic...So she was just terrific, and I knew her mom is a casting director but her mom also does stunts. Her Dad's an actor and very physical and I just I had this good feeling like, 'Oh, man, that must be a part of the equation for her.' And then we did a chemistry test. So a little bit more of an extensive audition.
He continued,"And then there was a physical component, there was a stunt coordinator there and we developed this little obstacle course to see how they moved...The way people move is is so much of the fun of an action action movie. So I wanted to analyze that, and she wasn't just about the physical movement, she was continuing to tell story in all the running and crawling and jumping and all those things. So that sort of just confirmed what I felt initially.
