Brad Peyton, director of Jennifer Lopez’s Atlas, says he wants to make his personal Predator movie 1 day and shares his thoughts on Prey.

Brad Peyton is a massive fan of Predator. In truth, he when told THR that he’d noticed the original movie more than 365 occasions. Given his passion for the movie, it is only organic that he’d like his personal shot at directing an installment of the sci-fi franchise. While speaking with THR about his current Netflix movie Atlas, Peyton stated he has a take on a Predator story that he’d like to make… assuming he gets the invite.

“I also have a version of Predator that I would really like to see.” Peyton stated. “I obviously can’t talk about it, because no one’s inviting me to go do a Predator movie yet.” He added that he also enjoyed the most current movie in the franchise, Prey. “I really liked it. I thought it was super cool,” Peyton stated. “I truly actually liked [Prey]. It was actually fresh and revolutionary and exciting, and anytime somebody can come in and reinvent a franchise — but also maintain the fantastic components that we appreciate from the original — you have to applaud that individual. So I consider [Dan Trachtenberg] did that in spades.“

Prey took location in 1719 and followed a young Comanche lady (Amber Midthunder) who sought to guard her men and women from a vicious alien who was hunting humans for sport. The film was a massive accomplishment, with some even calling it the very best installment of the franchise considering the fact that the original. Director Dan Trachtenberg will be back for far more, as it was announced earlier this year that he would be helming Badlands, which is stated to bring the Predator action into a far more futuristic setting.

Brad Peyton’s Atlas not too long ago premiered on Netflix. The sci-fi action movie stars Jennifer Lopez as a brilliant but misanthropic information analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence who joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious previous. Unfortunately, the film hasn’t received the very best testimonials, and our personal Alex Maidy wasn’t impressed. “Atlas is a special effects-laden foray into the most cliched science fiction genre offering I have seen in a long time,” Maidy wrote. “With what is supposed to be a timely tale about artificial intelligence, Atlas throws every trope from the last fifty years of scifi movies as it aims to be Netflix’s attempt at a summer tentpole picture. Underwhelming in every way, Atlas is a directionless and limp mess that wastes the talents of everyone involved.” You can verify out the rest of Maidy’s evaluation correct right here.
