Part 1: Several movies of the past may show hints to actress Elle Fanning's 2025 / 2026 roles in Predator: Badlands & The Hunger Games: Sunrise On The Reaping. I took a look at 1989 prison action film Lock Up starring Sylvester Stallone.

- Sonny Landham (the jail's resident tough guy) played Billy in the original Predator (1987).
- Donald Sutherland plays a sadistic Warden in Lock Up & later portrayed President Snow in the original Hunger Games films (2012+).
- Stallone has indirect connections to Predator, having appeared in the James Cameron written Rambo: First Blood Part II: 1985. Cameron next directed sci-fi action film Aliens in 1986 which shares a fictional continuity with The Terminator, Robocop & Predator. Stallone worked many times over the years with Arnold Schwarzenegger (ie: The Expendables). An interesting trivial reference can be seen in 1993 action comedy The Last Action Hero in a video store where Stallone appears on the cardboard movie avert for T2: Terminator 2: Judgement Day.
Spoiler Alert
- There is around a 5 minute scene in Lock Up (at 1 hour 25 minutes) where Stallone (Frank Leone) & Sizemore's (Dallas) character attempt a jail break. They wind up in a room with some water pumping equipment and several cooling fans can be seen here with light & smoke pouring through them. The Warden (Sutherland) makes an unscheduled appearance here.

03:10My YouTube channel is Easter Egg Psychic.
03:12There I go back and look at movies and television from the past.
03:15I analyze these for possible references to future media.
03:19These may appear in the form of anecdotes, idioms, anagrams, hidden in the subtext of the work in question.
03:25I also use an unconventional method where I look at the likenesses of the actors.
03:32And what I've found is you can take the likenesses, match these up to some of the anecdotal items,
03:38and show past, present, and future information about actors and other personalities
03:44that may resemble the personalities in the movie or television episode that you're watching.
