In the upcoming Predator: Badlands film, set to premiere on November 7th, the worlds of Predator and Alien are set to collide. The 2x Emmy-nominated writer and director recently explained that the Weyland-Yutani corporation, a key element of the Alien franchise, will play a major role in the movie.
Elle Fanning will portray a Weyland-Yutani synth named Thia, who teams up with a young Predator named Dek from the Yautja clan after he is cast out. This fusion of the two franchises is described as a "super organic" decision, as the producer Ben Rosenblatt noted the "spiritual connection" between the two.
