PREDATOR: BADLANDS Trailer Features a Yautja Warror on His First Hunt on the Most Dangerous Planet — GeekTyrant
Prey director Dan Trachtenberg returns to direct this new Predator story, which is set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator, outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Elle Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.
Dek isn't your average trophy-hunting Yautja. Played by Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, he's what Trachtenberg calls 'the runt of the litter.' But, Dek's got the makings of a classic lone wolf antihero. Trachtenberg says: 'He's a thing of few words, pretty blunt. He cuts straight to the point. Literally and figuratively.'
The film tells the story of personal redemption through battle, and an attempt to shift the franchise's perspective.
'That feels like a big idea, not just within Predator, but in sci-fi generally,' Trachtenberg previously explained. 'In most sci-fi universes, the 'creatures' are either bad guys or sidekicks. In [Badlands] it's: 'What if you were with the creature on this crazy mission to prove itself, seeing everything through its eyes?''
I'm very excited about Predator: Badlands and it looks awesome! The movie also stars Elle Fanning and it opens in theaters on November 7.

The White Lotus star Lisa has posted a mysterious DC tease, and now fans are convinced she's got a role in the DCU as Catwoman or Batgirl
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The White Lotus star Lisa has shared a mysterious Instagram post that seems to be referencing something DC-related, and fans are going wild with speculation. Lisa, who is one-fourth of the girl group Blackpink, is currently on tour – and, after donning some particularly superhero-esque outfits for her solo set, seemingly compared herself to Wonder Woman and Catwoman in her post, which is captioned "Keep scrolling" with an eyes emoji. Check it out below. Now, that seems innocent enough, except the official DC account commented: "We're scrolling," complete with an eyes emoji, a black heart, a bat, and a star. That's not the only account that has interacted with the post, either, with a HBO Max account and DC's official Asia account also commenting. Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean Lisa is joining the DCU. Her music video for her single "FUTW" contained a Batman reference, since a version of ACE Chemicals appears, so it's possible she's simply a fan (and she's performing this song on tour, too, so the references make sense). But, people are running with the theories anyway. One person has pointed out that Lisa has shared pictures featuring a cat phone case, potentially linking her to Catwoman. "Lisa pulling up in a car that looks straight outta Batman's garage then hits us with a 'keep scrolling' and suddenly we've got Wonder Woman, Catwoman fan edit, AND that phone case?????????" says another fan. "And then she ended with this," points out someone else, with a video clip of Lisa wearing a Labubu-inspired cape, with trousers that appear to feature a woman with cat ears and a ball of yarn. People are also speculating that Lisa could be teasing another DC character, though: Batgirl. "Batgirl? Omg what is ittt!!!" asks another person. "LISA CASSANDRA CAIN INCOMING" says someone else – Cassandra Cain was also Batgirl in DC Comics. "Welcome back Batgirl," says another person. "OMGG THE BAT EMOJI??? SOMETHING BIG IS DEFINITELY COMING LISA AS BATWOMAN??" wonders someone else (Batgirl and Batwoman are two separate heroes in the DC universe). While there are DCU Batman and Wonder Woman projects in the works, no casting has been announced for either, and all we know about Batman is that it will feature Damian Wayne's Robin. The Wonder Woman movie just secured a writer, but James Gunn told us recently that there are no new updates to share on the Batman project, which is titled The Brave and the Bold. Most likely, then, Lisa is just sharing the love for an iconic franchise. Maybe she'll be channelling another DC hero at the next tour stop? The DCU's latest project, Superman, is in theaters now.

The stunning alliance I hope The Young and the Restless' Cane forces to happen
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. After months of talking about The Young and the Restless' enigma known as Aristotle Dumas, viewers finally know that the mystery tycoon is none other than Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn). Although his full plans have yet to be revealed, I at the very least know that Cane is the person who has been rattling the cages around Genoa City for months. Now, with the recent revelation that Holden (Nathan Owens) has been buying up property around town near Jabot and Newman Enterprises for Cane, I have to believe Cane will soon launch a plan of attack on the companies. Especially in light of the fact that he's tricked all of his guests in France that they are stuck at his Nice home due to a recent storm. Having stated all of this, I can't help but think of Cane being this viable threat to the biggest power brokers in town. Although I still don't buy that Cane can go toe-to-toe with The Great Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), since writers are building Cane up as this worthy adversary of Victor, I'll go along with this new narrative. In the case that Cane is preparing an attack against Jabot and Newman Enterprises, in addition to his quest for Chancellor, I'm starting to believe some people should form an alliance in an effort to preserve the current status quo. Thinking along these lines, I came up with the perfect trio that would really keep me entertained. I'm talking about a partnership consisting of Victor, Jack (Peter Bergman) and Phyllis (Michelle Stafford). Before you blast this as a preposterous idea, let's really talk about this. Look, I know Jack and Victor are in the middle of a reignited feud and neither trusts the other, but even Victor would put his beef aside with his fiercest enemy if it meant saving Chancellor for Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and his firstborn, Newman Enterprises. Additionally, Jack would do anything to save his father's legacy and has proven with his infamous hotel bender that he's willing to go to great lengths to protect Nikki. Then there's the whole Phyllis component of it all. Now she has bad blood with both Victor and Jack, so neither man has a reason to trust her. However, regardless of how people may feel about her, she is a savvy tech guru and has solid experience in the business world. She actually can be an asset for whoever she works for. While Phyllis wants her next boss to be Cane at this juncture, after her conversation with Sharon (Sharon Case), it's clear Phyllis is not completely oblivious to that there may be something sinister going on with him. So I'd like for her to partner with people who may prove to have a little more stability in Genoa City. Again, there is bad blood among the trio, but if Victor and Jack could let bygones be bygones for the greater good, then all three of them could do that. With that said, Diane (Susan Walters) may not be so forgiving, so if Phyllis were to partner with Jack and Victor, she may have to do so with a position working directly for Victor or working in a freelance capacity. Lastly, Philly working with Victor and Jack could finally place her in a new era. She's been stuck in a rut ever since she faked her death, and I think this alliance could finally focus Phyllis, which I've been quietly hoping for. Phyllis has been out of control for too long. Even if this wild fantasy alliance were to happen, it likely would fall apart at some point. However, it would be an interesting storyline in the interim and I believe Phyllis would come out of it with a hefty windfall, a top-level executive job or both. Oh, and Jack and Victor would probably maintain their family businesses. New episodes of The Young and the Restless air weekdays on CBS. Episodes become available to stream on Paramount Plus the next day. Solve the daily Crossword

Todd Howard joins fans mourning "the driving force in the creation of The Elder Scrolls and the foundations of Bethesda as a game studio," Julian LeFay: "Without Julian, we would not be here today"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Bethesda lead Todd Howard has paid tribute to the "father of Elder Scrolls," Julian LeFay, upon news of his death. Over on Twitter, Howard calls LeFay a "driving force in the creation of The Elder Scrolls and the foundations of Bethesda as a game studio." "Simply put, without Julian, we would not be here today," Howard says. "If you had the opportunity to work with Julian, you were blessed to know a one-of-a-kind force of nature, who pushed everyone to create something special. His work and spirit will live on both in our memories and in our games." News of LeFay's passing comes from another studio he helped set up, OnceLost Games, which tells fans his "legacy will live on in every realm, every quest, and every moment of wonder" in the upcoming fantasy RPG The Wayward Realms. LeFay initially joined Bethesda shortly after its formation, helping put together formative Elder Scrolls games like Arena and Daggerfall – such was his influence, the deity Julianos is named after him. He would go on to co-found OnceLost Games alongside other Bethesda veterans before announcing The Wayward Realms in 2021. Last week, OnceLost Games confirmed that LeFay would be stepping away from the studio to "live his final moments surrounded by his loved ones." Today, the studio said he passed away after a "courageous battle with cancer." "He touched the lives of millions of players worldwide and inspired countless developers to push creative boundaries," they said, before calling his death "an immeasurable loss for our team, our community, and our industry."
