The trailer for Predator: Badlands hints at an intriguing crossover between classic sci-fi franchises, reminiscent of the Alien vs Predator films. Elle Fanning portrays Thia, a Weyland-Yutani synthetic, adding a fresh layer to the narrative. The article explores the implications of this character's role in a predominantly Predator-focused story, juxtaposing the old-school enemies with potential new dynamics. As fans speculate about connections to previous universes, the film could redefine expectations, potentially positioning these familiar dark figures as unlikely heroes within a shared cinematic space.
Somewhere out there in the multiverse is a movie saga in which all great dystopian sci-fi is united under one roof: a place where Xenomorphs stalk Na'vi for sport and Predators quote Rutger Hauer like they've just discovered existential rain.
The buzz in the blogosphere after this early glimpse at the film is that Elle Fanning's Thia is a Weyland-Yutani synthetic otherwise known as an android.
Is Badlands the Suicide Squad of dark sci-fi flicks, with the long-running sci-fi bad guys now reimagined as the heroes of the piece?
We've seen decent synthetics before in the Alien movies, but they've never really been the central protagonists.
