Predators – Nimrod Antal confirmed as director

Ain’t it Cool News has had confirmation directly from Writer/Producer Robert Rodriguez that he has chosen Nimrod Antal as director for his upcoming Predator sequel/reboot.

He goes into a fair bit of detail about his choice, as well as talking about how he became involved in the project, his previous script, written in 1994, some thoughts on the special effect teams he will be using and more. You can read the full article here.

First of all, on a personal level I found [Antal] 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…

We know we don’t want to go crutching on CG for this, so I need people I can count on and that I know will go the extra hundred miles to deliver…

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.”…

Failure is not an option.

Looks like things are starting to ahead with some speed. We’ll update you when we here more…
