Badlands trailer is full of alien beasts, gorgeous sci-fi vistas, and a Yautja hero who finds an unlikely ally in a synthetic.

One of the more surprising things about the promotional rollout for "Predator: Badlands" was the reveal that Elle Fanning appeared to be playing a Weyland-Yutani android; something usually reserved for the "Alien" movies.

Predator: Badlands director Dan Trachtenberg hopes you fall in love with his, uh, predator. That would be Dek, and unlike in other entries in the sci-fi franchise, which began with 1987's Predator, this Yautja warrior is the film's protagonist.
