There are a few things you expect from the movie "Predator": building tension, jumping scares, active camouflage, which is a cold laser retuel with a three -point plasmakster and someone calling for Arnold Schwarzenegger with one lane. Oh and blood. Many of that usually. Viscera, hypervilation, foil artists working overtime, nine yards. That last bit usually puts you firmly in the category of R-estimated, where every previous movie "Predator" lived, from the original to "Play", lived. But "predator: Badlands" breaks that tradition.

The film seems to get a PG-13 rating, and to hear director Dan Trahtenberg and producer Ben Rosenblatt, that was the goal of early. In a set report for a visit published by IGNTrachtenberg and Rosenbling (who had previously collaborated The exceptional and still insufficient "prey") talked about why this is time to avoid the rating of R, and why they hope this will not take away anything from the film they created.

"Our hope is that it can be a PG-13 that feels like R," Rosenblatt explained. The reason? "Badlands" takes place on the unresolved foreign planet, with the only characters being the protagonist of Yawala Dec. (Dimitrius Schuster-Coloimangs) and the squad of Synthetics of Wayland-Antani. Hence, the film seems to have a lot of blood and fuss, but not the type - specifically, the human species - in which MPA usually blanch.

It feels weird to have to stand in the name of brutality and violence on the screen. But when it comes to a franchise as a "predator" (which has built its brand on those basic pillars), some fans need to be nervous about the changes. The publication of the PG-13 assessment target has already caused some internet flicker among long-standing "predators" loyalists, but Trahtenberg and Rosenblatt argue that there will be no sense of compromise compared to earlier records in the property.

"We have no people in the film and that's why we have no human red blood," Rosenblatt confirmed. "We go as hard as we can in those restrictions and we think we will be able to do some pretty incredibly gruesome things. But in colors except red."

The logic is sound. Trailers "Predator: Badlands" It is filled with heinous action, with which a wide range of alien megafauna is cut and cut down. And as long as the film's creatives come true in the promise that the film will not feel as it is retained by its rating, the potential benefits are huge. Predator was usually sold at a particular science/horror demographic, but more classic scientific aesthetic and PG-13 rating can open the gates to bring a whole new audience-if done correctly.

"(The difference) is like to me, I never thought my mother had to see the" terminator ", but I thought he should see" Terminator 2: Day of the verdict, "Trahtenberg said. Creating a more accessible sense of adventure - channeled through a sympathetic protagonist of Hawja - was one of the director and the basic ambitions of his jump associates.

However Each movie "predator" on the main lineincluding this year's animated "killer killer", got a rating, Hawja appeared in non-live live action with live action before: "Alien vs. Predator" in 2004. And while the sequel to the science/horror crossover, "Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem" in 2007, "Cook, that first film was PG-13, and it feels strange appropriate that" Badlands "will be the next movie" Predator "to carry the ratings.

Recall that Badlands is the first official crossover on the screen between the franchises "Alien" and "Predator" since Requiem, as Valeland-Schiutani and its synthetic androids feature the film. It is also interesting to note that the last time the violence Hawja hit the PG-13, they also fought primarily on other opponents and avoided a lot of "red human blood" that Rosenblatt said it was absent from "the bad".

Of course, hope is that Badlands does much more with its PG-13. "Alien vs. Predator" has its fans, but it's not a great movie. Trachtenberg and Rosenblatt, on the other hand, have yet to grow up when it comes to the "predator" franchise. Now, coming out on the back of the back with a "play" and "killer killer", this film has a real footage to restore property on the big screen with a bang.

"Predator: Badlands" arrives in theaters on November 7, 2025.
