‘Predator’ Sequel Stars Urge Embracing Imperfection, Prioritizing Connection
Theโฃ cast of the โnew “Predator” film, “Prey,” is sharing a core message that extends beyond the โฃsci-fi action: the importanceโ of self-acceptance and meaningful relationships. Elleโ Fanning, star of both “The Predator” and the upcoming “Emotionalโข Value,” highlighted a thematic link betweenโ the films – that what โtruly matters in โคlife isn’t material possessions, but the bonds we forge and the impact we have on others.
Fanning reflected on โthe film’s message, stating, โ”People โshouldโข not at all costs conform to what someoneโค has presetโฃ for them. There is no need to fit intoโข someone’s ideas, it is possible to โขfind your own wayโฆ Life is all aboutโ cultivating relationships andโค the people you can influence along theโ way.” She noted the parallels โฃin her recent โฃroles, transitioning from “The Predator”โฃ to “emotional Value” where she plays actress Rachel Kemp, a star navigating aโ shift to a smaller production. Despite theโ genre differences, Fanning approached both characters withโฃ a similar focus on authenticity.
Theโ actress described a whirlwind production schedule, flying directly from New Zealand to โฃFrance toโฃ begin filming “Emotional Value” immediately after wrapping “The โPredator.” Both films, though distinct in tone and style, prompted reflection on the value of genuine connection and staying true to oneself.
