‘The Predator’ Monster Performer Brian Prince on What Makes His Predator Different
It’s looking like there’s going to be more than one Predator in Shane Black’s The Predator, with stuntman Brian A. Prince (Black Panther) playing one of the main beasts. As Zach noted in his visit to The Predator‘s set, “Prince is a 6’10” parkour athlete who trained for weeks in a wetsuit to acclimate himself to the constrictions of the wardrobe.”
In a chat with Den of Geek, Prince noted that his Predator is faster… deadlier…
“This creature’s a lot more mobile,” Prince told the site. “In the other films, they’d move, for sure, but a lot of the times, in the first one, there wasn’t a lot of agile movement. So with this one, for me, they’re throwing me through things, I’m fighting, slashing. One of the things I had in mind was for the creature to look heavy, to look big, but also to be very mobile – kind of like a lion. A big creature… or a bear. You see one running at you, and you’re like, Oh damn.”
Prince also explained to the site that God of War inspired his performance!
“I have a lot of stuff from the God Of War games, because that character’s a big inspiration for me,” he noted. “The main character of that game is Kratos – this big, tall warrior. He’s very similar to what the Predator creature is, in my mind, so I use him as a reference and inspiration.”
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
