Nimrod Antal Officially Directing Rodriguez’s Predators

Harry Knowles over at AICN just informed the blogosphere today that Nimrod Antal is officially the man who Rodriguez wants to direct the reboot of Predators for Fox.

Antall had previously directed the foreign film Kontroll, as well as Vacancy and the upcoming Armored.

“After Robert saw ARMORED, which Screen Gems is releasing this holiday season, he told me he was very excited about Nimrod Antal. This was about a month and a half ago if memory serves, and in a couple of conversations and notes since that point… I had begun to gather he was heading in that direction. Sure enough 3 days ago Robert told me he’d decided on Antal as the man burdened with the awesome challenge of taking the sting of suckage and the sewer pipe of hell that has been placed into that crazy cool mouth of the PREDATOR in the two AVP disposable flicks.”

I was keen on Neil Marshall but Antal must have impressed but now we shall see what he comes up with in terms of vision. Predators needs to blow us away like a Trek or Batman if it is going to survive.
