On August 5, Hulu released Prey, a new Predator film directed by Dan Trachtenberg. Trachtenberg, known for a passion for gaming, earned his breakthrough in Hollywood after a short film based on Portal. In interviews, he revealed that the creation of his latest project drew inspiration from a classic video game, God of War.
From that influence, Trachtenberg borrowed a couple of iconic props: Kratos’ shield and his axe. One item found a place with the alien hunter, while the other accompanied the film’s lead character, Naru. This crossover of game gear into cinema captured attention and sparked discussions about how gaming aesthetics can enrich blockbuster storytelling. (VG Times)
Trachtenberg expressed enthusiasm for the next installment, God of War: Ragnarok. The sequel is slated to arrive on both PS4 and PS5 on November 9. In Russia, the game is listed at 5499 rubles. (VG Times)
