Dan Trachtenberg, the director of 'Predator: Badlands', reveals an intriguing behind-the-scenes story about the film's development. He explains that James Cameron, the renowned filmmaker and director of 'Aliens', initially doubted the movie's potential. However, after seeing a nearly finished cut, Cameron's perspective shifted, and he expressed his belief that the film would work. This encouragement from a legendary filmmaker like Cameron gave Trachtenberg the confidence to move forward with his vision. Despite this positive feedback, Trachtenberg later discovered that Cameron's support was more of a strategic nudge than a definitive seal of approval. Cameron's input, though helpful, was not as decisive as Trachtenberg initially perceived. This revelation adds an interesting layer to the film's production process, showcasing the complex dynamics between filmmakers and the impact of their interactions on the final product.
