i09 has the first pictures and an interview with fan filmmaker Sandy Collora. You may not know the name but you've probably seen his short Batman: End Game where Bats fights The Joker, then an Alien, then a Predator. He must have run out of budget for the fight with Megatron.
Still, the guy has talent and knows his way around a camera. This actually looks like a pretty cool sci-fi flick, so I'm going to keep my eyes open for it. Here's an excerpt from the interview:
io9: Give us a taste of what Hunter Prey is about.
Sandy Collora: At its core, this is a picture about survival. Being able to adapt to your surroundings and persevere, to survive at all costs and prevail against incredible odds to complete an objective. That's something that I've had some experience dealing with in my own life and career, so there were a lot of personal feelings and emotions to draw from. The film centers around a crew of special forces commandos who must recapture an alien prisoner that has escaped after the military transport ship carrying it crashes on a desolate and hostile planet. There are subtle political and environmental overtones that I certainly don't hit anyone over the head with at all, but that will hopefully make you think about things like war, politics and current events, by presenting them in situations cinematically from a uniquely different perspective. That's one of the great things about Science Fiction; You can tell the audience something in a very unique way by using the guise of a futuristic world or society that can reflect our own.
The film, very much like the approach Jim Cameron took with "The Terminator", is a very small piece of a much larger picture. It concentrates on how the bigger situation (which in this case, is interplanetary war) is affecting the two main characters, who are now separated from it, and how they relate and react to their situation and each other as a result of it. As the story unfolds and more things are revealed about the characters and what their relationship is, we had to create in a sense, what we could not show. This was a very interesting challenge not only for co-writer Nick Damon and myself, but for the actors as well because through their performances and the dialogue, they had to build in the audience's imagination, what we couldn't afford to actually build on screen.
I really can't say or reveal much more than that, because It's got a few things that audiences will definitely not see coming and some twists and turns that I don't want to spoil. You'll just have to go see it to find out what those are.
