But she struggles with that - she carries the weight, but not effortlessly.Īnd then, of course, there is the boom, and myriad ass-kickings. She is the captain who would go down with her ship - but not without being in the bowels welding plate to the hull if that's what it took. As the books goes, so does she, growing into herself as a commanding presence, the responsible party, through sheer need. She's isolated by both her circumstances and her personality - she's very driven, very ambitious, and notes that she didn't have many friends back home, where the fact could be hidden by sheer population numbers. She's a new commander, brought into an established situation, and having to cement her own authority in a place that liked its old commander just-fine-thank-you. Nogushi's story is by far the most interesting of the book. Things go horribly wrong when Predators come to use the world in an initiation Hunt - whose designated prey is Alien - and the human colony gets in the way. She has been promoted to oversee a ranching colony on Ryushi, a frontier planet, as part of paying her dues to the corporate structure and proving that she's worth promoting to other, more prestigious postings.

There’s no amount of chart breaking or anything that could top what that means to me." And then, to have some of the interactions I’ve had with people, which have been really meaningful and really beautiful, and really, really moving, there’s nothing that could top that. I feel like that’s who the movie was for and that’s what the movie was about, so to have it come out in that way, and to have Comanche people respond well, and to have Native people, in general, respond well, was a huge sigh of relief. That was the biggest thing that was weighing on me, what the response for that would be. Indian country’s response to the movie was really what I felt the most anxious about. Really, the thing that I was thinking about the most, in making the movie, and then releasing the movie, was how Native people would feel about it. ![]() "There are no words for how that has felt. When the first reviews of Prey started rolling in with massively positive ratings, it was something that Midthunder couldn’t be happier about.

There are no flashy settings or elaborate storylines, but instead Prey concentrates on a simple premise of Predator against prey at its rawest and most brutal.ĭirector Trachtenberg recently spoke on Radio 1’s Screen Time Podcast, and dismissed the complaints that Midthunder’s character being able to handle herself against a mighty Predator are unbelievable, saying that their issue is not remembering the core conflict of the original movie. Prey takes place many years before Arnie took on the bug-ugly alien in the jungle, and while many Predator movies have attempted to bring something new to the franchise, the film has managed to do that by bringing something old back to the franchise.
