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.
