A week or so ago we reported that Robert Rodriguez was set to overtake the Predator franchise in a new installment harking back to its roots entitled Predators. Well, word is that Rodriguez has handed the directorial reins over to Neil Marshall, the man behind such exceptional genre fare as Dog Soldiers, The Descent and Doomsday. Deals are still pending, so nothing is yet official, but if there's one filmmaker out there today who can handle sprawling, high energy outdoor type of horror it's Marshall. It's also understood that after a semi-ephemeral crossover attempt, the franchise will recall the Predators origin and lose the whole intergalactic battle with Aliens. The worth is in the wait, it seems. Keep posted!
