— Concept Trailer

Starring: Elle Fanning.

 “The desert doesn’t hide the hunt—it erases your excuses.”

 A sun-blasted Southwest boomtown goes silent after a wildfire jumps the highway. A wildfire investigator and drone mapper (Fanning) follows heat anomalies into slot canyons etched with fresh trophies. Radios hiss with coyote laughs; three red dots climb a water tower—wrong shape to be human. Flash cuts: lidar scanning petroglyph caves that blink; a dust‑devil turning thermal cameras blind; wind‑farm blades strobing a cloaked silhouette; bridge‑trestle grapple in lightning; abandoned missile silo lit Yautja green; a crashed drop‑pod ticking like a heart. She lures the hunter with decoy body heat, then learns there’s a second signature—bigger, meaner, off‑code. Final sting: mask clicks shut, tri‑laser tightens on her reflection in a tin can… she never looks up.

 Verdict: Sun‑scorched, nerve‑tight, stripped to the bone—frontier grit meets extraterrestrial ritual in a lean, mean hunt.
