Director Dan Trachtenberg brought new footage to the convention alongside stars Elle Fanning and Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi to talk up the movie.

Friday at San Diego Comic-Con offered fans a rare opportunity to hear from two of the people primarily responsible for major franchises, in the same place, on the same day. And that’s exactly what happened in both the Alien: Earth and Predator: Badlands panels, which both took place in Hall H.

The latest movie in the "Predator" series flips the script to focus on the bad guys who always lose to the humans in the end, director Dan Trachtenberg said on Friday.

Badlands has raised immense anticipation and curiosity among the audience about whether, in this film, the worlds of the alien and the predators will collide

Badlands," Dan Trachtenberg, said audiences will emotionally "connect" with the iconic hunter in the show out this fall.
