Nimrod Antal (Vacancy) tapped to direct Predators

You probably don't know who Nimrod Antal is. But he is a very up and coming director in the states. He directed the movie Vacancy in 2007 starring Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale. And he directed Armored, an action heist movie set for release later this year. Robert Rodriguez confirmed to AICN that Nimrod Antal will in fact take over the director's chair, here's what he had to say:

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.

I loved the first Predator. I really hope they follow through with their promise to go back to the original's look and feel.
