Hey! There’s some exciting news about the new film, Predator: Badlands. I know, the excitement is too much to handle, right? Well, hold your seats as we explore some newly revealed casting details about this much-anticipated film.

Who’s Calling the Shots?

The director’s chair in the Predator franchise has a new occupant – Dan Trachtenberg. You might remember his name from the movie Prey. Guess what? He’s the first in the franchise’s history to direct two films in this series. His latest, Predator: Badlands, is based on his own story and brought to life by Prey screenwriter Patrick Aison. Let’s give a big round of applause to this talented team, working to captivate us again with their fascinating storytelling.

Two-in-One Role Needing a Braveheart

The casting gurus have spilled major deeds about the characters in Predator: Badlands. Here comes the interesting part: the central role(s) revolves around twins – Thia and Tessa. They aren’t the typical sisters-next-door, though.

You see, Thia is a friendly soul who’s stepping out from a laboratory into the big, scary world for the first time. She’s smart, fearless, and has a unique way around danger. She’s a little bit naive though, but her comedic timing, brilliance, and her go-getter spirit make up for it.

And then there’s Tessa – she means business. When it comes to accomplishing her family’s mission, no obstacle is large enough – not even her twin sister. She is all about focus and getting the job done right.

Now, pause for a moment. Remember we mentioned Elle Fanning was cast for the movie? Based on her exceptional acting skills, it’s not rocket science to guess she could be the one slipping into these two intriguing roles.

But there’s a catch that has fans a bit confused. The casting call clearly mentioned the actor for this role needed to be 5’8” or shorter. Guess what? Elle’s height – it’s 5’9”. But hey, we aren’t complaining. She’s an incredible actor, and we bet she could pull off this dual-role masterfully too.

In between Sets and Scenes

Word on the street – Badlands is currently being filmed in New Zealand. The backdrop locations include Rotorua, Te Kuiti, with South Head slated to be the next stop. Aligning with the beauty of this picturesque country, our filming team is expected to be shooting from late June all through September.

Before I sign off, just one more little detail you may want to know – the movie is set in the future. Yes, we’re talking about a time where sisters are achieving their goals and taking on dangers head-on, in their unique ways. Adding to it, there’s something to look forward to amid all this – the classic Predator thrill that is bound to keep us on the edge of our seats!

Well, that’s all the scoop we have for you on Predator: Badlands currently. Don’t forget to share your thoughts on this one! We’d love to hear them.

Remember, the world of films is ever-exciting, so stay tuned for more news on your favorite ones. Keep the popcorn ready!
