Trachtenberg in an interview shared how he faced a similar problem as Star Wars. He compared Prey withStar Warsprequels saying that the shiny aesthetics used in the Star Wars prequels was initially disliked by the viewers but this was changed after the re-evaluation. He also faced the same while working withPrey, as fans want something new yet a familiar vibe has to be maintained.
“From the Predator perspective, I was excited to have the freedom to explore different mechanics for him, because while challenging in making something that had to be 300 years prior but still super advanced, I always had in mind the way people responded to the Star Wars prequels and the fact that they were through a war and they were prior. Things were cleaner and newer, which made sense, but that also wasn’t the kind of thing that we loved looking at or that felt ‘Star Wars-y’ at the time. I don’t know, now we’re re-assessing that.

Trachtenberg shared how he thought of different ideas during the making of Prey.
That went through my head a lot making Prey, that everything could feel like Predator as we’ve always loved it, but also, something new for those of us who have loved the creature forever, so we’re not just given the same things we’re expected to see. Hopefully, we’ve accomplished that, I’m excited for people to see a lot of technically older but spiritually newer things.”
Preyis scheduled to be released by 20th Century Studios on June 03, 2025.
