The Predator Takes On Medieval Knights In This Upcoming Short Film
It never ceases to amaze me how some fans will go above and beyond to create something incredible to show their love of a particular universe. In this case, several pals got together and have created a new entry into the Predator series by having the infamous alien hunter face off against a group of medieval knights for a short film titled Predator: Dark Ages. A trailer for the film can be seen below and, according to io9, the full film will premiere the MCM London Comic-con on May 22nd-24th next month.
The synopsis reads:
Set during the Crusades, the faith & fighting skills of a group of Templar Knights is put to the test when they encounter the Predator. Their battle is the thing Myths and Legends are born from.
As far as fan made short films go, this looks pretty incredible. There’s a real sense of production and quality that many other shorts lack.
The film was written and directed by James Bushe and stars Adrian Bouchet, Amed Hashimi, Sabine Crossen, Ben loyd-Holmes, Jon Campling, Joe Egan and Philip Lane.
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.”
