    We must expand the tech of this film full of murder, carnage, and brutality against humans.

    What if we removed those 3 aspects? Then we can lower the age rating to envelope a wider audience.

    Wouldn’t that alienate the existing fanbase?

    Well, think about the new fans we will make.

      Yes, because theres nothing teens like more than a long dormant (until recently) 80s action movie franchise.

      The other thing young people famously like is paying to go to movie theaters.

      I hope I’m wrong. Prey was pretty cool, but I dont see myself going out of my way ro see it and I would consider myself a pretty big Predator fan.
