Nimrod Antal, the director of the horror film "Vacancy," has been hired to direct "
Predators" for Fox and producer Robert Rodriguez.
Alex Litvak & Michael Finch have written the script, which the studio is hoping will revive the alien-hunter franchise in a solo outing for the first time since 1990. The dreadlocked menace, who first appeared in a Central American jungle stalking Arnold Schwarzenegger and friends in 1987, has had two solo features and a pair of matchups with the double-jawed badasses of the "Alien" franchise.
