Trachtenberg did consider having the characters speak Comanche before switching to English, similar to how the characters in Hunt For Red October switch from Russian to English. Naru faces off against the Feral Predator. When Trachtenberg spoke to Jhane, he realised she had a lot in common with the main character Naru. They then found producer Jhane Myers, another Comanche woman to produce the film. Prey was inspired by Sonny Landhamâ€™s character in the first Predator â€“ Billy Sole, who was part Sioux himself.Â After they had written a couple of drafts, they met a Comanche woman called Juanita Pahdopony who helped figure out the film and improve the script. Trachtenberg and Aison continued to work on the story and Fox agreed to let them write it. They couldn’t start production on a new film until they’d finished the previous one so there was a lot of secrecy.
