"People are dying! We need a plan!" Survive - that's the plan! That's all there is! Vertical has revealed an official trailer for an action thriller movie called Prey, the latest from South African filmmaker Mukunda Michael Dewil. Back in 2022, he collaborated with the same two actors on other projects - Ryan Phillippe in Collide and Emile Hirsch in The Immaculate Room. This time they take on wild animals while fleeing in Africa. After their lives are threatened by an extremist militant group, a young couple must flee from their missionary post in the Kalahari Desert. But when their aircraft crashes into an animal preserve, they must battle man and beast in a fight for their lives. Taking on lions, leopards, and hyenas and more. Prey stars Ryan Phillippe, Emile Hirsch, Mena Suvari, Dylan Flashner, Jeremy Tardy, Michaela Sasner, Tristan Thompson, and Mohamed Hakeemshady as Scar.. This reminds me of the other maneater lion movie Beast with Idris Elba. It looks like it has some gnarly escape scenes, should be another intense watch.

Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Mukunda Michael Dewil's Prey, direct from Vertical's YouTube:

Prey Poster

After an extremist militant group threatens their lives, a young couple (Ryan Phillippe and Mena Suvari) is forced to flee their Christian missionary post in the Kalahari Desert. After being granted passage aboard a rickety plane, piloted by a corrupt smuggler (Emile Hirsch), their escape to safety is nearly in reach. But when their aircraft loses power and crash lands, they discover a bigger threat awaits them as they find themselves stranded in the middle of an animal preserve populated by many hungry maneaters -- lions, leopards, and hyenas. Injured, frightened, and being tracked by the extremists, this ragtag group of passengers must fight for survival from both man and beast where only the strong will survive. Prey is both written and directed by South African filmmaker Mukunda Michael Dewil, director of the movies Retribution, Vehicle 19, The Drive-Thru Crematorium, The Immaculate Room, and Collide most recently. Produced by Robert Ogden Barnum, Lucas Jarach, Christian Ackerman, Mukunda Michael Dweil. Vertical will debut Prey in select US theaters + on VOD starting March 15th, 2024 coming soon.
