Amber Midthunder and Dakota Beavers' Comanche hunters face off against an extraterrestrial in Dan Trachtenberg’s prequel.
What bait would you use to catch a Predator?
Or how about a pair of human beings?

The latter is the option chosen by French trappers in a new clip from the just-releasedPredatorfranchise prequelPrey.
“There just happens to be a Predator involved.
Honestly, you could have shot this movie with a different monster and it still probably would have worked.
I like how it’s a different, fresh story and there just happens to be a Predator.”
Director Dan Trachtenberg shot the film almost entirely on location in the woods outside Calgary.
“Yeah, Calgary gets really hot in the summer.
You wouldn’t think that, but we had some 96-plus degree days.
So it was a lot to juggle.”
Remarkably, DiLiegro performed his role as the Predator with extremely limited vision.
“I shot this entire movie essentially blind,” he said.
“There were two holes in the neck.
For the Predator to look forward I had to look straight at the ground and shrug my shoulders.
So all my fight scenes, all my acting scenes, everything, [I was] essentially blind.
I can’t see you.'
It was very real.
The danger was there.
And I think it added to the realism of the fights.
Me and Dakota our fight is so dynamic.
I was springing on him with full speed, essentially.”
Preyis now available to watch onHulu.
