Hulu is set to stream a new action-thriller film called "Prey" on August 5, 2022. The movie, directed by Dan Trachtenberg and written by Patrick Aison, tells the story of a young woman named Naru who is raised in the Comanche Nation and becomes a fierce warrior. When danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people.
The film's main character, Naru, is a highly skilled warrior who has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains. She is eventually confronted by a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.
The film was produced by John Davis (“Jungle Cruise,” “The Predator”), Jhane Myers (“Monsters of God”), Lawrence Gordon (“Watchmen”), Marty Ewing (“It: Chapter Two”), James E. Thomas, John C. Thomas, and Marc Toberoff (“Fantasy Island”). 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 and Sundance Fellow, is known for her attention and dedication to films surrounding the Comanche and Blackfeet nations. As a result, the film features a cast comprised almost entirely of Native and First Nation talent, including Amber Midthunder (“The Ice Road,” “Roswell, New Mexico”), newcomer Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp (“Sooyii”), Michelle Thrush (“The Journey Home”), and Julian Black Antelope (“Tribal”).
