For whatever it's worth, we still don't have word on whether or not Dan will be personally directing the Prey sequel. We know he's directing Badlands, which is up next, and developing Prey 2 for some time after that, but no word on if he'll actually be stepping behind the camera for that one.
Anyways, I'm all in on Prey and very excited to see what Trachtenberg has up his sleeve for his next outing. He reinvigorated this franchise for me in a way I never expected to actually see, given the state it had been left in after the AVPs, the conceptually interesting but middling in execution Predators, and the godawful The Predator.
I personally can't wait to see what's in store in Badlands.
