"Prey (2022) Movie Inspired by Director Dan Trachtenberg's 'God Of War' Video Game

The film "Prey (2022)" directed by Dan Trachtenberg has been well received, despite only being released on streaming services. The film stars actress Amber Midthunder who plays the Comanche tribal warrior.




"Prey" is set in the early 18th century. Midthunder plays Naru, a young Comanche hunter who comes face to face with the iconic ruthless alien hunter. Trachtenberg previously revealed that "Prey" took inspiration from God of War 2018, the latest entry in the eponymous video game franchise.

In the popular game, players control Kratos, a god-hating Spartan warrior endowed with magical powers and weapons who embarks on a quest to deliver the ashes of his late wife to the highest peaks of the nine realms.

During an interview with Bernard Smalls of Cassius Life (via Comic Book), Trachtenberg shared how "Prey" directly took elements from the popular God of War game and incorporated them into the "Predator" prequel. "It was the Predator shield, as well as his Tomahawk that he made because he threw it and summoned it back. It was very inspired by playing that game," he explained.

Armed with his bow, small axe, and hunting abilities, Naru must track down and kill the Predator before wiping out his people. Due to the open references to the popular game, Trachtenberg seems to be a big fan of God of War and all of its predecessors as well.

Although "Prey" can't directly copy God of War's weapon, it still manages to give a subtle salute. It proves Trachtenbrg's respect for video games, where he was inspired but didn't want to steal his ideas.

"Prey" which received an encouraging response made fans wonder if this film will continue into a sequel or another film. In a separate interview, the director briefly explained the possibility of a sequel, although he did not explicitly agree with the decision.

"The Northman" appears as the latest film to receive positive reviews on the Rotten Tomatoes website.

Film Review: Minions 2 The Rise of Gru Lots of Laughter, Minimal Minions

Image
Minions: The Rise of Gru officially opens in cinemas throughout Indonesia, Wednesday (29/6). The third Minions series has been long awaited after it was originally scheduled to be released in 2020. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the release schedule for this film continues to be delayed. After two years, what is this film like? Unlike the previous two Minions films, The Rise of Gru features Gru in the form of a 12-year-old child.  Despite his young age, however, Gru has already shown his interest in the world of crime. At that time, he idolized the Wild Knuckles, the frontman and founder of Vicious 6, the world's most famous criminal gang. When Vicious 6 opened a vacancy, Gru didn't waste it. He also signed up. Unfortunately, his application was rejected because he was considered not bad enough. After all, he was only 12 years old. What do these people think when they invite them for a “job” interview?

Review: Memory Film (2022) Starring Liam Neeson Which Airs This April

Liam Neeson is not a bad actor. He is much more than that. If you watch his films, you will know that this actor has more than just talent for playing on the big screen. But if the question were changed to whether Liam Neeson's recent choice of roles was too boring, the answer would probably be "yes". Although Neeson plays well in various types of genres, but since Taken, this one actor is too comfortable to play as a hitman or martial artist with few problems to make his film different from other cheap action films. Sometimes relationship issues, sometimes alcoholic. And what keeps these films from being made (and watched) is the fact that Liam Neeson plays this so effortlessly, the audience easily gets into his world. In Memory, the latest film directed by Martin Campbell, which yesterday also released The Protégé, Liam Neeson plays Alex Lewis. He is an assassin who is very good at his job. He has no moral compass, all work is work. The only taboo for him was killing sm
