Nimrod Antal Confirmed for Predators

Nimrod Antal & Predator
Rodriguez had pencilled in a fairly strong shortlist of directors that included Neil Marshall (The Descent), but Nimrod Antal (Vacancy, Armored) ultimately won out.
Rodriguez told Ain’t It Cool:
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.” 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.
Regarding why Rodriguez chose not to helm the film himself, he said:
I was already booked up as a director when this came back to me, but I still wanted to have a hand in making it. So I lobbied to have the movie done through my studios so I could oversee it in a stronger position than a producer usually takes on.
Rodriguez also said that production will take place in Austin-Texas at Troublemaker Studios, taking advantage of the state’s incentive program.
