Hulu unleashes the teaser for its Predator prequel, Prey

By

Predator 2 revealed that the alien hunters had been coming to Earth for a long time — perhaps longer than we initially suspected. This summer, the Hulu original movie Prey is opening up a previously unknown chapter in Predator history. Three hundred years ago, the Comanche Nation went up against a threat they couldn’t comprehend. And if you hoped that the Predators would take it easy on the Comanche because of their primitive weapons, then think again. In the first teaser trailer, the Predator is more than happy to unleash its futuristic arsenal on an unsuspecting warrior.

There’s not a lot to go in the teaser, and the Predator itself stays out of sight. Somehow, that makes it even more terrifying for the young Comanche woman who suddenly finds herself alone against the creature. This also inspires an ominous feeling of dread that has been missing from the franchise’s last few films.

“Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, Prey is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.”

Amber Midthunder will headline the film as Naru. The film also stars Dane DiLiegro, Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp, Michelle Thrush, and Julian Black Antelope.

It’s a dark new world in Y: The Last Man’s first trailer

After The Walking Dead, post-apocalyptic dramas are kind of passé. Most of them have well-worn premises that have been done many times before. Regardless, you haven't seen one quite like Y: The Last Man.

In 2002, Brian K. Vaughan and artist Pia Guerra launched the Y: The Last Man comic book series through DC's Vertigo line. Through 60-issues, they developed a world where Yorick Brown was literally the last surviving male of the human race. However, if you were expecting a feminist Utopia to emerge, think again. The women of this world are just as human and flawed as the men were. And in the new age, the battle for control is going to get quite brutal.
