Release Date is August 5.

A new synopsis and extra production details:

Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, "Prey" is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people. The prey she stalks, and ultimately confronts, turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.

"Prey" is directed by Dan Trachtenberg, written by Patrick Aison ("Jack Ryan," "Treadstone"), and produced by John Davis ("Jungle Cruise," "The Predator") and Jhane Myers ("Monsters of God"), with Lawrence Gordon ("Watchmen"), Marty Ewing ("It: Chapter Two"), James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas and Marc Toberoff ("Fantasy Island") serving as executive producers.

The filmmakers were committed to creating a film that provides an accurate portrayal of the Comanche and brings a level of authenticity that rings true to its Indigenous peoples. Myers, an acclaimed filmmaker, Sundance Fellow and member of the Comanche nation herself, is known for her attention and dedication to films surrounding the Comanche and Blackfeet nations and her passion for honoring the legacies of the Native communities. As a result, the film features a cast comprised almost entirely of Native and First Nation's talent, including Amber Midthunder ("The Ice Road," "Roswell, New Mexico"), newcomer Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp ("Sooyii"), Michelle Thrush ("The Journey Home"), Julian Black Antelope ("Tribal").

Neat. Crossing my fingers for something cool here.

[skhellter]

So far so good.
Like the sound design.

[Kailem]

Way shorter than I was hoping it'd be, but nice and tense!

Also the fact that we've gotten a teaser means the promotional cycle should be a little more substantial than I was expecting. I honestly didn't think we'd get anything more than a full trailer a couple of weeks before release, so as much as I'd have liked to have seen something more substantial as our first look, this is cool!

It also squashes any doubts that the Predator in this wouldn't be using the plasma caster just because the people he was hunting had more primitive weapons than we've seen before.

Need that full trailer!

Pft. Predators don't play fair. It was never in any doubt for me!

Really enjoyed that trailer! I don't the full trailer doesn't go wild with the details, but I really liked what this was. I do wish we'd have seen the cloak's shimmer, but I've got a feeling they're going to keep the Predator design for this a secret until release.

Looks swell, but can we really jude it afer such short material? I think the filter is similar as in AvP-R (day time or visible parts ) and I like it allot, Predator sound is also neat. Let's see what comes next.

[Kailem]

Yeah I liked how it was just short, simple, tense, and told us everything we need to know going in as far as the basic hook goes; that it's a movie set in the past with a Predator hunting Native Americans.

We just need a daytime procedural cop show-style "zoom in; enhance!" on that last bit to see if we can make out any details!

[Nightmare Asylum]

I think for a teaser it's appropriately tense, it's shot well, and like skhellter said it has some solid sound design.

I have been wanting a period piece Predator film for ages, and Trachtenberg (who's work I really dug on 10 Cloverfield Lane) is definitely delivering on that here. It's early days and we have very little to go off of, of course, but I'd honestly be shocked if this doesn't wind up being better than Predators and The Predator.

[Voodoo Magic]

The cinematography. The lack of music. The mood that's established? If this is a sign of what the whole movie might be like.... So far? I'm liking what I'm seeing!

[Master Chief]

Someone's not making it to the final act.  That's a good tease!

Hicks will kill me but that's not a far mountain to climb, especially the latter!

[SuperiorIronman]

Love the teaser, getting hyped for this one

The Predator design aside, the cinematography is what I'm looking forward to seeing most.

Cinematography so far I'm digging. ADI's Predator? Hoping for the best but expecting the worse.
