The PREDATOR sequel appropriately titled ‘PREDATORS’ is getting into deep development. AICN has confirmed that Nimrod Antal (VACANCY) is at the helm.
AICN spoke with producer Robert Rodriguez about the film, revealing that the film will take place on the Predator homeworld, and that the project will be at least 60% shot at Rodriguez’ Austin-based Troublemaker Studios to take advantage of the Texas Tax Credits.
When talking about Antal, Rodriguez had this to say:
First of all, 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.
