Audiences will have the opportunity to watch 'Prey' in Comanche, and hear the characters speak as they would have 300 years ago. 'But just the fact that people will have a choice, the world will have a choice to listen to the whole film in Comanche is amazing.' 'That's really important to me being Comanche and working with our Comanche language department, also with working with Comanche language speakers,' said Myers. Myers is Comanche and gave some incredible insight into how the film will be made accessible to audiences around the world.
