After much speculation, Fox has finally revealed their choice to carry on their popular sci-fi/horror franchise, with the announcement that Nimrod Antal will direct Predators. Produced by Robert Rodriguez, the film will begin production soon and is set to bow July 7, 2010.

Antal may be most familiar with audiences from his work on 2007’s horror flick Vacancy, starring Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson, which went on to gross a modest $27 million domestically. His newest project, Armored is set to come out this December.

The Predator series, starting with the 80’s classic featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, commands considerable box office presence. The two most recent installments, Alien Versus Predator and the sequel Alien Versus Predator: Requiem, represent more than $290 million in worldwide grosses.
