Very exciting news today, gang: 20th Century and Hulu have announced that Dan Trachtenberg’s Prey, the latest installment in the long-running Predator franchise and a prequel to the 1987 original, is headed to 4K and Blu-ray this October, in a release that’s positively jam-packed with bonus features. See? Good things still happen sometimes!
Here are those special features (via the good folks at Bloody Disgusting):
- Making of Prey: Step behind the scenes of Prey as the cast and crew explore the genesis of the project, how they gave authenticity to the story, the intense physical training the cast endured, and the effects work that brought the iconic Predator back to the screen.
- Prey FYC Panel With Cast & Crew: Go deeper into Prey with a lively panel discussion featuring director Dan Trachtenberg, actor Amber Midthunder, producer Jhane Myers, director of photography Jeff Cutter, film editor Angela M. Catanzaro and creature effects designer Alec Gillis.
- Alternative Opening Scene: Check out a scene that didn’t make the cut with commentary by Dan Trachtenberg.
- Deleted Scene: Big Warrior, Little Warrior: Check out a scene that didn’t make the cut with commentary by Dan Trachtenberg.
- Deleted Scene: Treetop Chase (pre-vis): Check out a scene that didn’t make the cut with commentary by Dan Trachtenberg.
- Audio Commentary: Play Movie With Audio Commentary By Dan Trachtenberg, Amber Midthunder, Jeff Cutter & Angela M. Catanzaro.
Both the 4K and Blu-ray editions of the film will be available for purchase on October 3rd (and if you’re wondering, the answer is: yes, both will feature the Comanche-language audio track that was made available to viewers when Prey hit Hulu last year). This is something of a minor miracle! Streaming releases, particularly those which have premiered on Hulu in the past, almost never get physical media editions. The entire FANGORIA family is psyched that this one proved to be an exception, as we cannot wait to own this movie.
Nothing further to report on the physical media release of Prey at this time, but remember to set your calendar reminders for October 3rd. Should further updates occur on this one, we’ll let you know! Stay tuned.
