Dan Trachtenberg Developing Sleeping Beauty-Inspired Movie at Disney — So Where Does That Leave Predator?
Predator fans were left wondering what’s next from the franchise after director Dan Trachtenberg was confirmed to be taking on a new movie inspired by Sleeping Beauty.
Dan Trachtenberg, the director behind successful Predator films like Prey, Killer of Killers, and Badlands, is now developing a new movie inspired by Sleeping Beauty for Disney. This new project marks a departure from the Predator franchise, as Trachtenberg is aiming to put a fresh spin on the classic fairy tale. Despite his success with the Predator series, Trachtenberg has also reportedly started pre-production on an undisclosed project for Paramount, though there is no release timeline for this movie.
While both the Sleeping Beauty-inspired film and the Paramount project lack a release date, fans of the Predator franchise are left wondering how this shift might impact the future of the beloved series. Prior to the release of Badlands, the highest-grossing Predator film, questions arose about whether the movie had generated enough revenue to justify investing in a sequel.
Despite reaching $183 million worldwide, the film fell short of the $200 million mark needed for a sequel, leaving the franchise hanging in the balance.
