Summary
ThePredatorseries is inherently a franchise that boom off of invading other genre , with several tantalizing options good for invasion by the ill-famed warrior backwash . EveryPredatormovie thus far has taken place in a unique subgenre all its own , simply airdropping one of the dire Yautja aliens into a new setting or prison term point . With the announcement of theupcoming Predator movieBadlands , which will take place in a post - apocalyptic hereafter , it ’s fascinating to imagine what other suitable genres the Predators could cross over into .
ThePredatormovies have received several accolades , including an Academy Award nomination for Best Visual Effects and multiple Saturn Awards , peculiarly for the original 1987 film .
Prey director Dan Trachtenberg asks Alien : Romulus music director Fede Alvarez at SDCC who would win in a competitiveness between a xenomorph and a Predator .
8Western
One of the most obvious choices for a Predator crossover
If there ’s one genre that quickly comes to mind when it comes to regulate the Predator ’s next landing zone , it ’s easily a striking westerly . The mount is simply perfect for an alien intrusion by the beastly species , from the desolate desert landscape typical in the genre to the well - arm lawbringers who prowl its film . The near western sandwich all contain detached options and bushed - eyed gun for hire , all of which would make for the perfect playground for a given piranha .
The closest thing to this construct being done before is the seldom - rememberedCowboys vs Aliens , which saw six - shooter - exert cattlemen face off against bulky extraterrestrial brutes with advanced technology . A Western Predator movie could do the concept well with a more iconic and memorable alien antagonist , putting its archaic , yet futurist weapons system against the firearms of the late 1800s . The patch could possibly follow H.M.S. Bounty Orion searching for an malefactor , only to find himself in the crosshairs of a Yautja warrior , create a three - way - chain of predator and prey .
7Horror
Predator could lean in harder to its horror aspect
Arguably , every Predator movieis already a repugnance picture to some degree , featuring plenty of gore and scare to keep audiences on their toes . However , realistically the Predator movies work more as an R - rated action series than anything else , with the protagonists typically able-bodied to agitate back against the titular scoundrel to some degree . A Predator motion-picture show could lean further into the serial ' repulsion roots than ever before with the good tone and setting , causing a complete genre transmutation in the process .
It would be very interesting to see a Predator go up against a more common horror motion picture antagonist , such as a human slasher
It would be very interesting to see a Predator go up against a more common revulsion movie antagonist , such as a human slasher in the same vein as Michael Meyers or Jason Voorhees . Perhaps the two killers could find themselves competing for quarry , plump up against one another in a spectacular candid dispute that leave the protagonists desperate to live . Admittedly , this would sour best if the Predator franchise could spoil over with a more traditional slasher moving picture series , but the prospect of that happening is sadly unlikely .
6Found Footage
Goes hand-in-hand with horror
In addition to horror in general , one particular subgenre the Predator could truly stand out in is the found footage music genre . More of a filming technique than a writing style in the traditional sensation , chance footage motion-picture show are made up of footage with an in - universe account , whether its a documentary film filmmaker , surety cameras , or simply a collection of webcam recordings put together to make a cohesive photographic film . This format could do wonders for a Predator moving picture for a variety of reasons .
The confining thing that already exist to a recover - footage Predator film is 2008’sCloverfield , which utilise diagetic footage to chronicle the flack of a gargantuan alien monstrosity . The Predator film already use establish footage in a common sense whenever they switch to the species ' signature thermal vision , using the aliens ' linear perspective . A movie that expands on this element whilecombining it with helping hand - held human camerawork could make for the most scary and intense Predator pic yet .
5Martial Arts
What if the Predator found a human who could keep up with it?
Another movie genre that deals in sufficient levels of legal action to be ripe for a Predator encroachment would have to be the warlike arts writing style . Spanning a smorgasbord of setting , clock time periods , and horizontal surface of supernatural kung fu powers , soldierlike fine art movies are inherently life-threatening affairs sport human combatants duking it out in hand - to - mitt scrap . Throwing a Predator in the mix could be endlessly entertaining , whether the flick was a more establish sportswoman film or a high - wing wuxia epic .
One thing a martial arts Predator film could really rap in to is the Yautja ’s unconditioned sense of honour . Predators have typically shown to only go for quarry that they see as a suitable challenge , unremarkably decline to slaughter helpless or unarmed target . A martial liberal arts picture could present the opportunity for one of the foreign Predators to intentionally shed theirimpressive Yautja arsenaland or else focus on unarmed combat , willingly stepping into the ring with a human opposite on equal footing .
4Heist
A Predator could be the perfect monkey wrench to a well-thought-out plan
There are few writing style prosperous to prize than a well - execute heist motion picture . commonly following felon or spies , heist flick revolve around the theft of some precious aim or gem treasure trove with tight security measure , need a meticulously - planned caper incline by eclectic crew of specialists to steal . These plans ordinarily go wrongly in some way in heist film , and the addition ofa Predator could be a singularly unexpected and superb wrench to cast into an intricate criminal plan .
Heist movies usually have some stage of action to them , making the violence of the Predator movies not out of the doubt for the genre . The Predator ’s supernatural element would n’t be the first time science fiction concepts have made their way into heist films before either , as proven by Zack Snyder ’s zombie - stickup fusion filmArmy of the Dead . The prize of a Predator could even be the object of the protagonists ' affections in the first place , with the holdup take place within a Yautja starship .
3Disaster
The wake of a natural disaster could be the perfect place for a Predator to strike
Like piranha movies , disaster filmsrely on threat , excitement , and tense life - or - death scenarios to bone up hearing investing . The only deviation is that in these picture , it ’s wide - exfoliation lifelike or supernatural cataclysm , like earthquakes , tsunamis , tornadoes , hurricanes , aliens , and revelatory events that serve as the " baddie " . Rather than simply replacing the innate disaster as a source of fearfulness , the addition of a Predator could really raise it . The Wake Island of a natural disaster could be the staring opportunity to insert a ferocious Predator .
A Predator disaster motion picture could have two distinct halves – One in which the disaster in question is the primary source of risk , and one in whichthe Predator mop up up the survivors of a bankrupt metropolis . Seeing human characters navigate flowage , weakened infrastructure , and lawlessness while also dodging a marauder could make for an incredibly gripping story . It could even be revealed that the Predator themselves caused the calamity with advanced alien applied science , go for for a novel environment to hunt in .
2Noir
Might be the perfect setting for a Predator murder mystery
Preyproved just how successful the Predator concept could be in a period circumstance , pitting a slenderly de - powered piranha against a more vulnerable , less technologically - ripe target . Another groovy genre that typically claim place in the past is the noir movie , characterized by fatal - and - snowy footage , turbulent individual center , ghastly murder , and femme fatales . From the dour theme thing to the leaning for action and violence , a classic noir ( or futuristic neo - noir ) motion-picture show would be the gross place to insert a pestilent Predator .
Rather than a hyper - futuristic edition of Los Angeles , the Predator could this time be haunt the showery alleyways of a 1940s or 50s New York City
LikePredator 2 , a noirPredator flick could focus on a detective investigating a serial of brutish murders that turn out to really be the work of a Predator on Earth . Rather than a hyper - futurist translation of Los Angeles , the Predator could this fourth dimension be haunting the showery alley of a 1940s or 50s New York City , blending in to some bleak scene with its invisibility cloak . To really sell the setting , the hypothetical noir Predator movie could even be shoot in black - and - ashen , if the producers were willing to take such a risk of infection .
1Superhero
The Predator has a surprising pedigree in comic books
The superhero genre is one of the most wildly popular types of flick in the New historic period , frequently raking in some of thebiggest box government agency hauls of all time . At first , the largely PG-13 genre might seem like an badly - meet place for a Predator , who might jar with the aesthetic of most superheroes . But R - stag laughable script moving-picture show are slowly becoming more and more normalized , and the Predator has been in PG-13 picture before with theAlien Vs . Predatorcrossover series .
At first , it may seem as though the Predator has no business interfering with superhero natural action . Buta crossover comical between the Predator , Batman , and Superman rig the precedent for the alien beasts intersecting with the DC macrocosm . One of the highlights is Batman ’s reveal that his far-famed " no - killing " policy is stringently reserved for humans , willing to go all - out on foreign encroacher . It would be incredible to see this active re - created on the large screen with a eminent - visibility crossover in aPredatormovie .
