20th Century Fox has followed the announcement of Ridley Scott directing a new Alien film by attaching Sin City’s Robert Rodriguez to a new $40 million Predator film. Rodriguez will produce and is writing the film with Alex Litvak and Michael Finch. Nimród Antal, who directed Vacancy is set to helm the new film.
After the last two Aliens Versus Predator films, it looks like Fox executives have finally woken up and realized that insulting fans is no way to make filthy cash! Rodriguez is a brilliant choice and could actually make the best Predator film yet. Antal did a solid job on Vacancy, so Predators is in good hands all around.
Predators is currently scheduled for a July 7, 2010 release.

Actually the story Rodriguez is working from he had submitted to Fox before the AVP fiascos. Fox got this project moving several month prior to the announcement of the Alien prequal. I’m excited for this story if for no other reason than it includes many preditors as well as time spent on their home world. This is going to be a fun ride I believe
What happened at Fox? Why the big turnaround? Who got axed so we could finally get some decent movies out of these properties again?
I guess it doesn’t matter. Predators sounds like a fun ride to me too.
