Predators Director Confirmed Nimrod Antal is in, plus plot details revealed. by Orlando Parfitt, IGN UK UK, July 2, 2009 - Producer Robert Rodriguez has confirmed to Aint It Cool News that Nimrod Antal is indeed onboard to direct the forthcoming Predators. It seems Antal was chosen ahead of the likes of Neil Marshall because of his sterling work on Kontroll and the forthcoming Armoured, and also because of his charismatic personality. Rodriguez said: "I found him to be an outstanding presence, a great communicator full of ideas... He reminded me of Quentin [Tarantino] with how he was able to work with a group of very strong, singular actor talents and make it look effortless." He also tells us to expect Predators to be as character-driven as the original, and to revolve around "a very intense group of people stranded on a Predator planet discovering unspeakable horrors (that are not always from outside their group)." Predators will begin filming at Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios in Austin this autumn.
