ASPrey is a 2022 American science fiction horror film in the Predator franchise. It is the fifth film in the mainline series and seventh in the overall franchise. It is a prequel to the first four films, being set in the Northern Great Plains in 1719.
In May 2021, Amber Midthunder was announced to star. With Dan Trachtenberg set to direct, he explained his goal for the film was to get back to the roots of the franchise: “the ingenuity of a human being who won’t give up, who’s able to observe and interpret, basically being able to beat a stronger, more powerful, well-armed force”. Dane DiLiegro ended up becoming the Predator because Dan Trachtenberg sought a different type compared to the original portrayer Kevin Peter Hall’s “WWF 1987 wrestler standoff type thing”, leading to someone with a more ‘feline’ athletic body,
Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. (ADI) was hired to work on the special and creature effects on the film, having previously worked on The Predator and the crossover films Alien vs. Predator (2004) and Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007). The Predator’s new design aimed to make him scarier and also take advantage of the leaner physique of portrayer Dane DiLiegro. To make him less humanoid, there were changes to the face like more spaced eyes that led to a head fully made of animatronics standing atop DiLiegro’s own, reducing his sight to two small holes in the neck piece. The costume, which had the challenge of being flexible for the fight choreography while resistant enough to withstand the location’s weather, weighed 80 pounds (36 kg) and was primarily made out of foam latex, which DiLiegro noted as being “essentially a sponge” getting heavier and wetter as he sweated under the summer sun.
