Prey Director Has a Chilling Teaser For His Stranger Things Episode: 'Laser Into My Heart'

Stranger Things has put the production of its final season on hold in solidarity with the ongoing actors' and writers' strikes, but some work had already been done before the strikes came.

Dan Trachtenberg, the director of Prey and 10 Cloverfield Lane, is set to helm one of the episodes in Stranger Things 5, and boy does he have something to say about what's in store for the upcoming finale.

Stranger Things will be one of his few TV endeavors, and it is no less than "laser into [his] heart." We might as well prepare our own hearts to be lasered, too...

"I have read my episode, and I had been prepping the episode before the strike. I can tell you that it’s awesome. I haven’t really done an episode of a TV show. I’ve stuck to doing pilots and movies, but ‘Stranger Things’ is a laser into my heart. The Duffer Brothers are incredible, and we have so much in common. With this being the last season and hearing a little bit about what could be an episode I could do, I got excited," Trachtenberg told Variety.

He also said that there is "rock and roll throughout the entire season," whatever that may mean. The Prey director believes that Stranger Things is nothing like Game of Thrones, when things start off with a huge pilot, then slow down only to crescendo in a huge battle in the end.

With Stranger Things, Trachtenberg believes, it will be different. While he obviously cannot say anything substantial about the plot just yet, the fandom is already buzzing with excitement. The number of the episode Trachtenberg is set to direct remains unclear so far.

Trachtenberg has previously stepped in to direct episodes of Black Mirror, The Lost Symbol and The Boys, which is quite a portfolio for someone who is now set to helm an episode of Stranger Things. Besides, he's currently busy developing a TV adaptation of the 1995 movie Waterworld.
