Antal was chosen because he has an outstanding personality, an excellent cinematic presence, great ideas and a good eye for casting, according to Rodriguez. He beat Neil Marshall, director of The Descent, for the job.
Rodriguez will make Predator in his own studio, exercising tight control over the directorial aspects of the film.
Antal directed the recent thriller Vacancy, which starred Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson, and his next film, Armored, with Matt Dillon, Jean Reno and Laurence Fishburne, is in production. The film is set to open in Hungary in December.
