New Predator Film In Development, Titled Badlands
Dan Trachtenberg, the writer-director behind the 2022 Predator prequel Prey, is set to direct a new standalone film in the franchise, titled Badlands. The Hollywood Reporter was first to report.
Plot details for Badlands are currently under wraps, with production slated to begin later this year. Trachtenberg, who earned an Emmy nomination for his work on Prey, is expected to further expand the Predator universe with this latest installment. The success of Prey on Hulu, breaking records as the platform’s most-watched premiere, has spurred 20th Century Studios to explore the franchise further.
While release plans for Badlands are still pending, given the traction 20th Century got with Boogeyman in summer 2023, and the decision to release Alien: Romulus in theaters in August instead of solely on Hulu as initially intended, a theatrical premiere for Badlands seems plausible.
Blizzard’s 33-Year History Chronicled In Upcoming Book By Jason Schreier
Few video game companies have the instant name recognition of Blizzard Entertainment. The studio is responsible for some of the biggest PC game franchises of all time, including Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo. However, sexual misconduct scandals and a series of rocky game launches have tarnished the company’s reputation in recent years. If you’ve ever wanted to know the full story, veteran games journalist Jason Schreier chronicles the company’s 33-year-long history in his upcoming book, Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future Of Blizzard Entertainment.
Play Nice features interviews with over 300 current and former Blizzard team members from every era of the company, starting from its earliest years creating lesser-known console games and the golden eras of Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo in the ’90s and 2000s, to its merger with Activision in 2008 and recent acquisition by Microsoft. The book’s title is a reference to one of the company’s core corporate values “Play Nice; Play Fair.”
Play Nice will release on October 8. You can preorder the hardcover edition for $30 at Amazon. Preordering now locks you in for Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, meaning you’ll only be charged the lowest price and don’t have to pay until your order ships. The book isn’t discounted yet, but most books wind up dropping in price at Amazon ahead of their publication dates. It’s also available in a $15 Kindle edition.
