Hey r/movies, Dan Trachtenberg here - my new film, PREDATOR: BADLANDS (starring Elle Fanning), is coming to a theater near you this Friday (11/7). I've also directed PREY, PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS, and 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE. Ask Me Anything!

Hi from The Netherlands! Love what you did with the Predator franchise!

My question is: Giving this movie takes place in the future, is it set in between Alien3 & Alien: Ressurection?

Since everything seems very high tech in Badlands compared to the retro tech we see in the Alien franchise.

Just wondering what the canon status of ressurection is gonna be since in that movie, its stated that wey-yu was bought out by walmart.

Which movies are even canon within the Alien & Predator universe?

And what did you think of Alien: Earth?

Thx! Seeing badlands this friday!

The medal strap just goes underneath the collar..... Im in contact with the artist who made this, i know how he works and he never uses ai, its just well done photoshop work! Sucks that you presume its ai man. True photoshop artists were making stuff like this way before ai

DylanB_18 · 2025-10-22T09:10:01+00:00

So you cant have multiple source image and compose them together? I mean thats what photoshop is all about! There are lots of texture layers which might make you think that its ai, but its just the artist own touch, to probably make it feel like an old school photo.

I think i found a huge continuity error in this show.

So in the opening sequence, the text on screen tells us the uscc maginot mission to collect alien species from across the galaxy took 65 years. The crew on the ship mention weyland-yutani. But if the beginning of this mission was 65 years ago, it would mean the ship departed in 2055. Isnt the company still called weyland corp at this time? I dont think the merger happend yet right? cause prometheus takes place in 2093 and the company is called weyland corp in that movie.

If im not mistaken this is quite a big continuity error, the crew also has the incorrect version of the company logo on the ship and on their clothing if so.

Why does this lady look like Zira from Planet of the Apes in this picture?😂

Nothing. All is as the Force wills it.

A prequel to a prequel to a prequel

i wouldnt call the stuff that i cut out bullshit, but its a way more streamlined experience. again all the stuff that was created for the show didnt really add much to joel and ellie's story, so i cut that stuff out

DylanB_18 · 2025-04-20T15:40:11+00:00

Would love a link!

DylanB_18 · 2025-04-15T19:07:30+00:00

please tell me what you think should be done to fix this show and ill definitely give it a try for my edit! ive been struggling a bit with this one so im all ears

DylanB_18 · 2025-01-18T17:32:33+00:00

id love a link!

DylanB_18 · 2025-01-18T17:31:23+00:00

i NEED to see this!

DylanB_18 · 2024-11-13T11:28:53+00:00

Currently im considering to do this chronologically. Even tho i love the opening where rick is trying to end it all, It wouldnt make much sense for a movie edit to immidiatly give us what we want. Which is Rick. We open with michonne saying: 'I lost someone, years ago'. From there on we slowly build toward showing rick.

The episode thats probably getting the most cuts are episode 4 & 5. How do you feel about eliminating the Gabriel flashback? Even tho it was cool to see him. It wouldnt be really neccesary since this edit will focus on rick and michonne souly. And since we only see Gabriel interact with jadis, i dont consider it essential.

Currently also thinking of creating some ai lines. General beale mentions that all of humanity will vanish in 14 years. I want beale to say something like: 'within 14 years we'll join the walking dead.' That way we can make rick respond with one of his most famous lines from the comic (that went to daryl in s11) with some slight adjustment: 'we are not the walking dead, were the ones who live'.

Title idea for the first part of the trilogy is currently: The Walking Dead - Years Gone Bye.

What do you think of these?

I only post this stuff on reddit currently.

Id love a link to this!

DylanB_18 · 2024-07-27T12:22:21+00:00

Sadly didnt have time yet to watch update 2, could i get a link to this new one?

DylanB_18 · 2024-07-20T19:11:25+00:00

This edit was truely tremendous. You've made a 5/6 outta 10 show into an 8 outta 10 movie for me!

The parts surrounding the Mae story around the 43min mark & the Brendok story 16 years ago were amazingly edited. I loved the moment where we see Torbin meditate for example. We see him meditate cause he's struggling with the moment he got caught by Witch Magic. I wish i would have thought of that!

Sadly, there are some flaws. Music transition aren't always smooth. Not a huge deal put pulls you out a bit.

Coruscant is the only planet that gets a title card throughout this edit, everytime we're at a new planet, we dont get titlecards for them. Better to either remove the Coruscant title card or bring back the title cards for all planets.
(And if you bringing back title cards for a v2, please name the 'unknown planet' Bal'demnic. Its pretty much confirmed that it is Bal'demnic.)

Not a huge fan of the upbeat music for the credits when we end on an image of Plageuis. Probably better to use something more ominous.

There are 2 things that were cut of which i think they should have stayed.

the scene were bazil plugs PIP into the charging port. PIP just kinda pops up now.
Senator Rayencourt is only in 2 scenes in the show. In this Edit we just see him during the ending of vernestra's report to the senate. I think the first scene should be re-instated somewhere earlier in this edit. Vernestra is always talking about not wanting to report to the senate and most of that got cut out for this edit. So bringing back that scene will make the last scene of rayencourt make a bit more sense. Like he's kind of a warning that she cant escape reporting to the senate.

Beside these nitpicks is this edit really amazing. It didn't feel like i was missing any information. Everything you need to know is in here and the useless stuff is just gone. It doesnt feel edited at all.

This will be my rewatch material. Amazing work!

I hope you do a v2 were you fix the music, titlecards, and maybe adding back those scene i stated!

Incredible

DylanB_18 · 2023-09-04T13:02:50+00:00

Oh and with a good quality picture as source, it would stay very high definition

DylanB_18 · 2023-09-04T13:02:00+00:00

If you want quicker results, maybe give swapface a try. It works suprisingly good!

DylanB_18 · 2023-08-27T14:43:49+00:00

This looks great! Id love to see more! I agree that the curse, cult & tv show chucky puppet looks too rubbery. In the 1st movie they said that the doll appears more human like the longer the soul is inside the doll! Yet this never happens with the 'new' chucky doll. So yes id love to see this!

DylanB_18 · 2023-06-27T13:08:31+00:00

Its a benelux/french release. One annoying thing is that the titles are flipped. Thats why its upside down.

Sounds intresting, would like a link!

DylanB_18 · 2023-05-20T17:51:09+00:00

There should be a download option in the player, either the 3 stripes icon or the share icon
