Quickie: Predator gets a release date

The Hollywood Reporter has stated the new Predator's release date. 20th Century Fox will release Predators, July 7th, 2010. Fox must be very confident in its director/producer team of Nimrod Antal and Robert Rodriguez respectively. Releasing the movie in the dead of summer. We'll see what happens and we'll keep you updated as we go along.

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.

Quickie: Arnold In New Predator Franchise?

Moviehole reported today that Robert Rodriguez is rebooting the Predator franchise and is going after the Governor himself. He wrote Schwarzenegger into the script and wants him to do it badly. Schwarzenegger turned down the Predator 2 movie, but apparently he's interested in the reboot because the script is supposed to be amazing. It's untra-violent and stays true to the original. I personally don't care if Arnold is in the reboot or not. To be honest, I have a problem with 70 year olds attempting action movies. But, I'm sure he'll be in it in some way, shape or form and it will make millions. Stay tuned.
