Predator Director Shares Vision for Waterworld Sequel
Dan Trachtenberg, known for revitalizing the Predator franchise, has expressed his interest in taking on Kevin Costner's 1995 sci-fi film Waterworld. Before the theatrical release of Predator: Badlands, Trachtenberg spoke with Collider about his approach to continuing Waterworld.
Sequel Idea Through a Different Medium
Rather than proposing a direct film sequel, Trachtenberg envisions a revival of Waterworld as a video game:
"The thing about Waterworld that I want to see is a video game. I want to see an open-world third-person action-adventure video game that is not a remake of the movie, but is a sequel to the movie. That's what I want to see."
Context of Video Game Sequels in Film Franchises
This approach is not without precedent. Several video games have served as official continuations of popular movies, such as Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Released in 2009, the game is set two years after the events of Ghostbusters II and features a new character joining the team to investigate paranormal events in New York City.
Trachtenberg’s Vision
By choosing the medium of an open-world action-adventure game, Trachtenberg aims to expand the story and world of Waterworld in an immersive, interactive way rather than through traditional cinema.
Author's summary: Dan Trachtenberg proposes a bold new direction for the Waterworld sequel, imagining it as an open-world video game that builds on the original film’s story instead of a movie remake.
