Cool Behind the Scenes Featurette for PREDATOR: KILLER OF KILLERS and New Poster Art — GeekTyrant
Hulu has released a new featurette for director Dan Trachtenberg's animated Predator anthology series Predator: Killer of Killers , and it offers a cool and exciting behind-the-scenes look at the making of the badass-looking project. I also included three posters. Each one represent one of the episodes of the three-part anthology that puts the focus in Yautja warriors hunting human prey across world history. It's also confirmed in the video that all three of these stories will connect with each other. The director also explains that the animation style of the anthology was inspired by the concept art that he was seeing for the live action films, and he wanted to see that style brought to life. Here's the synopsis: 'The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. 'But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent – the ultimate killer of killers.' The voice cast includes Lindsay LaVanchy, Louis Ozawa, Rick Gonzalez, and Michael Biehn. Trachtenberg co-directed this project alongside Josh Wassung while on location for Predator: Badlands . He said: 'We were writing the script for [ Killer of Killers ] while we were prevising stuff on [ Badlands ], and then [once on location] in New Zealand, on the way to shoot [ Badlands ], we would remote with everyone back here and [watch footage] thanks to Starlink.' It's set to premiere as a Hulu exclusive on June 6th, 2025.

Viam and Viking Yachts Announce Robotic Sanding Partnership
Viam's solution enables more consistent and efficient fiberglass sanding, addressing a major manufacturing challenge across marine and other sectors WASHINGTON, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Viam, the engineering platform for data, AI and automation, today announced a partnership with Viking Yachts, a global leader in sportfishing and cruising yachts with 1 million square feet of manufacturing facilities in New Jersey. Integration of Viam's technology to support fiberglass sanding—critical in yacht construction—will enhance efficiency and consistency through intelligent automation, complementing the skills of Viking's craftsmen. Fiberglass sanding is a vital but labor-intensive and time-consuming aspect of marine manufacturing. The process requires specific protective equipment and extensive training, posing operational challenges for manufacturers and workers. Traditional sanding robots rely on rigid, pre-programmed paths and struggle to manage the complex shapes of custom yachts. The Viam platform provides skilled judgment that allows robots to adapt in real time, ensuring consistent finishes across a range of yacht sizes and types. "Our partnership with Viking represents a major innovation around one of the most challenging aspects of marine manufacturing," said Viam Founder and CEO Eliot Horowitz. "We've taken a time-consuming, resource-intensive process and made it resoundingly more efficient and scalable." Founded in 1964 by the Healey family, Viking has earned its reputation as one of the marine industry's most respected companies through a unique combination of experience, craftsmanship and innovation. The vertically integrated operation provides a real-world example of major marine industry trends. The shipbuilding and marine robotics sector was valued at $1.26 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow significantly over the next decade as manufacturers make new investments and advanced technology is more readily adopted. The partnership will roll out in July and positions both companies at the forefront of an industry transformation that prioritizes worker safety and smarter production methods to achieve the highest levels of quality. "This is about improving the way we build boats," said Pat Healey, President and CEO of Viking Yachts. "We've always embraced innovation that makes us better. If robotics can help our team work smarter, faster and more efficiently, then it's worth the investment." Eliot Horowitz will discuss the partnership during a session at Capitol Hill Ocean Week on Wednesday, June 4, in Washington, D.C., entitled "Emerging Ocean Economies: Innovation Driving Conservation Outcomes." Co-hosted by Viking, the panel will explore how companies like Viam and Viking are using technology to enhance ocean stewardship and support the marine industry overall. The discussion will also spotlight the work of the Whale and Vessel Safety (WAVS) Taskforce, a Viking-led initiative developing real-time whale detection technology to protect marine mammals and improve boater safety. In addition to Viking Yachts, Viam's customers in the marine space include Kongsberg Discovery, Digital Yacht, Canyon Runner, and GOST. Viam's technology is applied across sectors, including manufacturing, food and beverage, sports and entertainment. The company was launched in 2020 by Eliot Horowitz, former co-founder and CTO of publicly traded database giant MongoDB, and closed a Series C funding round earlier this year.
