Predator: Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg hopes you fall in love with his, uh, predator.

One of the more surprising things about the promotional rollout for "Predator: Badlands" was the reveal that Elle Fanning appeared to be playing a Weyland-Yutani android; something usually reserved for the "Alien" movies.

Timeline-wise, it jumps way back. Each story sits in its historical pocket, way before almost all the other Predator or Alien movies. These are the oldest Predator hunts we’ve seen—unless you count Prey from 1719, which barely squeaks in earlier.
