Dan Trachtenberg

Trachtenberg takes established franchises and finds a small, tight story inside them. 10 Cloverfield Lane wakes a woman after a car accident in a bunker with two men who tell her the world outside is gone. Prey follows Naru, a skilled Comanche warrior, whose hunt turns up something far more dangerous than she expected. Predator: Killer of Killers sets three warriors from different centuries against the same hunter.

Signature

• Single-location suspense (10 Cloverfield Lane).
• Franchise films rebuilt around one strong lead.
