“Prey” - on making a Hollywood Blockbuster with producer Jhane Myers & 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg

This week, we have two more filmmaking legends for you on the show: Producer Jhane Myers & director Dan Trachtenberg ! Jhane has worked on movies like Apocalypto (2006), The Lone Ranger (2013), and Wind River (2017), and today she’s here to chat with our hosts, Giles Alderson and Dom Lenoir , all about the Predator-prequel Prey: She talks about how she turned Marvel down to get on board as well as her involvement on the script and on set. Dan, on the other hand, talks about how he thought about making this film for over 30 years and how he prepped the film. He also discusses his workflow with his DOP, shot lists, action, one-takes and the importance of good locations. We had an absolute blast chatting with these two brilliant filmmakers. You’ll love this. We promise. So, sit back, relax and listen to this week’s episode with Jhane Myers & Dan Trachtenberg. PREY is out on the 5th of August! The origin story of the Predator in the world of the Comanche Nation 300 years ago. Naru, a skilled female warrior, fights to protect her tribe against one of the first highly-evolved Predators to land on Earth.
