Producer Robert Rodriguez has confirmed to AICN that he has personally hand picked Nimrod Antal to direct Predators for 20th Century Fox.

Rodriguez says he became excited about Antal (Control / Vacancy) after seeing what he did with his latest film Armored, an action thriller due December 4, 2009.

“First of all,” Rodriguez says, “on a personal level I found him to be an outstanding presence, a great communicator full of ideas, and upon meeting him you can immediately understand how he is able to wrangle cast and crew and get the best out of everyone. I always loved Kontroll, where he proved himself to be a very resourceful and original filmmaker. When I saw Armored, I could tell he’s also great with action and has a keen eye for casting. He reminded me of Quentin with how he was able to work with a group of very strong, singular actor talents and make it look effortless. I know he’ll be able to get the most out of what we want to be an outstanding cast. We really want to go with a character driven action movie, because that’s what we all remember about the original Predator, and we want to take it even further with this. ”

Predators is a sequel to Predator and Predator 2 that is said to follow a team of commando’s as they face down multiple Predators. The script is being written by Alex Litvak, a relatively unknown writer. Until now, rumor had it that Litvak would be reworking an original story written some fifteen years ago by Rodriguez himself that was deemed too epic to produce at that time. Rodrigues has now confirmed that story.

“When Alex Young at Fox contacted me about re-inventing the franchise using my original draft as a template for getting as far away as possible from the AVP movies, I jumped on it,’ Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez plans to do to the Predator franchise with Predators what James Cameron did to the Alien franchise with Aliens. It’s a tall order, but as a long time Predator fan I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
“As to how this movie will be viewed, one of the guys at Fox told me ‘No one is ever going to talk about AVP again after this film, I will stake my life on it.’”

Predators will be released July 7, 2010.

Sounds dope.

oh shit i cant wait for this, AVP was a huge let down imo, Alien + Aliens + Predator 1 >>>>>

I thought avp2 was ok.

AVP2 was so embarrassing to watch. The first AVP was bad, but Paul W.S. Anderson could shoot an action scene. Not very well, but he could do it. It was watered down and felt like some corny video game with all these trap doors leading to new places and making no sense, but it wasn't the atrocity that AVP2 was. AVP2 picked up the corniest, most generic story line/characters and adding aliens and predators, two beloved franchises. They had a slasher out of them, basically. There was no way to detect what was going on in any scenes because they shot with handicam in the fucking DARK with folks who did not know how to light a scene. I couldn't stand it. AVP was bad, but that was just one of the worst things I had ever seen.

I'm excited for this, despite the fact the director doesn't have much skills.
