Prey’s Director Teases a New Kind of Predator

Artemis

Deadline also reports Jason Bateman has exited the space race drama, Artemis, over unspecified “creative differences” with the project. Producer Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans are still attached to star.

Silent Hill/Fatal Frame

In a recent interview with Jeux Video (via VGC), Christophe Gans revealed he’s written a script for a new Silent Hill “unrelated to the previous two films.”

I’m currently working on it. There were the COVID-19 years which finally forced us to stay at home. I took the opportunity to write two scripts. The script for a new Silent Hill movie is totally independent from the two previous movies made and respects the way Silent Hill has evolved. I worked on a new Silent Hill which is a Silent Hill of the year 2023, since the film would be released next year… in 2023… and not a Silent Hill as I imagined it in 2006. It is a Silent Hill for today’s audiences while being ultra respectful of the saga. I am aware that Silent Hill is a very great video game franchise and a work of art in the noble sense of the term. The people who thought up Silent Hill put a lot of their guts into it. To know them well, they are extremely honest people. For me, it was important to design a Silent Hill in the light of the current public.

In the same interview, Gans also reveals he wrote a script for a Fatal Frame movie he hopes to release sometime in 2024.

Prey

In a new interview with Comic Book, director Dan Trachtenberg states the predator in Prey is a “different breed” of the species, hailing from “a different hemisphere” of its home world, Yautja Prime.

I think our Predator in my mind, not only does he exist, you know, 300 years before, but I think in sci-fi movie terms, time moves very slowly. If the way that Star Wars functions or even Star Trek, you know, it’s like 300 years. Ships aren’t suddenly like so different. But I think this guy’s perhaps from a different hemisphere of the planet and a little bit of a different breed. So even his look is a little new, it’s familiar, but new. So I’m excited for people, even for diehard fans, to really see something they hadn’t seen before.
