By Mulder, 16 may 2022

Prey, the new thriller from 20th Century Studios, will be available on August 5 in the Star World on Disney+. Set three centuries ago in Comanche territory, the film follows the destiny of young Naru, a fierce and brilliant warrior. Raised in the shadow of legendary hunters on the Great Plains from an early age, she makes it her duty to protect her tribe whenever danger threatens. She discovers that the prey she is currently tracking is none other than a highly evolved alien predator with a sophisticated arsenal of weapons. A confrontation as perverse as terrifying soon begins between the two adversaries...

The American trailer has been unveiled today and makes us really want to discover this film, which allows us to go back to a universe we love and which marked our youth and continues to impose itself with several films as a science fiction universe rich in thrills...

Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (The Boys and 10 Cloverfield Lane series) and written by Patrick Aison (Jack Ryan and Treadstone series), Prey stars Amber Midthunder (Legion series), Stormee Kipp (SOOYII), Michelle Grive (Crossing the Ice), Julian Black Antelope (Tribal) and newcomer Dakota Beavers. The film is produced by John Davis (Jungle Cruise, Predator) and Jhane Myers (Monsters of god). Lawrence Gordon (Watchmen: Guardians), Marty Ewing (It: Chapter 2), James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas and Marc Toberoff (Nightmare Island) are executive producers.

The Prey team is committed to portraying the Comanche Nation as accurately as possible, with a genuine respect for the indigenous peoples who make up the nation. As a result, the lead roles in the film are played by actual Native Americans. Producer Jhane Myers - also a director and member of the Sundance Film Festival - is also a member of the Comanche Nation and is known for her commitment to Indian history and culture.

Synopsis: 
Kee, a young woman accompanied by her little brother, Taabe. Kee is a tomboy who rebels against the traditions of her people, wanting to become a warrior. Taabe has a boundless admiration for his older sister, who is a kind of mentor for him. The story would take place before the invasion of their lands by the Europeans.
