It’s here! PREDATOR: Killer of Killers is now streaming on Hulu!

This release represents a tremendous milestone for THE THIRD FLOOR Inc. — our first Animated Feature, taking us well beyond previsualization and into the business of crafting final images! Every frame of action was hand-animated and brought to life by our incredible home team and production partners! We are especially proud to have developed and delivered the entire film in real-time via Epic Games’ revolutionary Unreal Engine!

Massive thanks to our champions at Hulu, 20th Century Studios & The Walt Disney Company who believed in us from the inception of this concept; and huge props to our visionary co-directors, Dan Trachtenberg and Joshua Wassung, for devising such an incredibly tight and emotionally-impactful anthology. You inspired us every day to push the boundaries of cinematic animated storytelling!

We hope you all enjoy the final film!

Empire breaks down the Predator: Killer of Killers trailer—teasing Yautja battles through time in an epic animated anthology. Check it out: https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/predator-killer-of-killers-trailer-teases-yautja-battles-across-the-ages-in-animated-anthology-film/

"Blood-daubed viking warriors? Check. Spitfire dogfights with Yautjan spacecraft? Check. Samurai bisections that are strictly R-rated? Triple check. Yeah, you don't have to look far to see ol' Predator's bloody fingerprints all over Killer Of Killers, whose first trailer sees pre-vis wizards-turned-animation moviemakers The Third Floor take visual cues from recent 2D/3D hybridised offerings such as Blue Eye Samurai and Arcane to create some truly eye-popping adult animated action, all spread across three distinct, fascinating eras. And don't even get us started on the three Yautjan warriors we see here, each as beastly as the last and each offering compelling new wrinkles on the iconic, distended-jawed original design: if you were worried that an animated Predator may pack less of a terrifying punch, then worry no more..."

The Yautja battles samurai, vikings, and WWII pilots in the first teaser for Dan Trachtenberg's animated anthology movie Predator: Killer Of Killers.
