The new Predator prequel will focus on the Predator’s teenage years in what promises to by a sexy, sci-fi, teenage high-school comedy.
“The Predator is an iconic trophy-hunting extra-terrestrial killing machine,” explained director Dan Trachtenberg.
“But what made him that way? The answer, as it is with most characters, is the experiences he had as a teenager in high-school.”
The film will take place on Yautja Prime, home of the Predator, and will focus on the suburbs of an unnamed city, where the teenage Predator grew up.
“It’s a fairly typical slice of suburbia, except with Predators,” continued Trachtenberg.
“So, they go to the mall, they hang out, they listen to rock and roll music. They’re Predators, but first of all, they’re teenagers, and what are teenagers interested in more than anything else? Sex.”
The story will begin with a new Predator girl moving to the Predator’s school.
“That’s kind of the catalyst. She arrives, and the Predator falls for her, and I mean hard. But she’s not interested, so to impress her, he becomes a trophy-hunting extra-terrestrial killing machine.
“But, that’s only part of the story. This is a whole slice-of-life piece about the teenage years of a Predator and his buddies. Think American Graffiti meets Aliens.”
The Predator prequel has already begun filming and forms part of a slew of new prequels including a Pet Semetary prequel which will focus on a horny teenage Church trying to meet other kittens and an Army of Dead prequel that sees a horny teenage zombie trying to meet zombie girls.

Ben Affleck has life-sized tattoo of his own face, on his face!
Movie heart-throb Ben Affleck has been seen sporting a brand new life-sized tattoo of his own face, on his face.
The Pearl Harbour star was spotted taking a break in Fiji were fans quickly noticed his new ‘ink.’
“It was pretty amazing,” said Doris Onions, a cattle-farmer from North Wales who’d been wintering at Fiji’s exclusive Royal Davui resort.
“I saw there was something different about him straight away, and I said to Barry – that’s my husband – I said, there’s something different about him.
“Well, it was Barry who figured it out, he spotted it immediately, that he’d got a life-sized tattoo of his own face on his face.
“I thought it looked brilliant, really daring.”
However, some parents are concerned.
“I’m concerned,” said a parent.
“My Kayleigh loves Ben Affleck, I’m worried that she’ll try and imitate him now and get a life-sized tattoo of her own face on her face.
“Or, even worse, that she’ll get a life-sized tattoo of Ben Affleck’s face on her face.
“That could make it really difficult if she ever wants to enter the clergy or become a Tory MP.”
Despite the concerns, there is no denying that, once again, Ben Affleck has proved himself to be a fashion pioneer, and fans are already speculating that it can only be a matter if time before he gets a life-sized tattoo of his own chest, on his back!
No, on his chest. Not his back. That would be weird.
