Kevin Costner's Divisive Sci-Fi Epic Gets Sequel Idea From Predator Director (With a Twist)

Predator Director Proposes Sequel Idea for Kevin Costner's Sci-Fi Film

Dan Trachtenberg, the director who revived the Predator franchise, shared his vision for a sequel to Kevin Costner's 1995 sci-fi film Waterworld. Speaking at the premiere of Predator: Badlands, Trachtenberg expressed interest in returning to Waterworld, but not in the form of a movie.

A Video Game Sequel Instead of a Film

Trachtenberg explained his preference for a different medium:

"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."

Precedent of Movie-Based Video Game Sequels

This approach aligns with previous examples where video games continued the stories of iconic movies. For instance, Ghostbusters: The Video Game (2009) served as an official sequel to the Ghostbusters film series. Set during Thanksgiving 1991, it takes place two years after the events of Ghostbusters II, following a new recruit trained by the Ghostbusters team investigating paranormal activities in New York City.

Conclusion

Trachtenberg’s idea highlights how video games can offer fresh ways to expand film universes, giving fans a chance to engage with stories through interactive experiences.
