Why Neil Marshall Is Perfect For Predators

8 reasons we're glad he's close to signing...

Rumours that Neil Marshall is in talks to direct Predators for Robert Rodriguez has us smiling.

While it might still just be a rumour, we think it sounds like a great idea – a solid blend of director, genre and subject.

Not convinced? Here's our pitch…



1. His Passion For '80s Movies


For the man who made Dog Soldiers and The Descent, a deep, abiding love for '80s action films is deep in Marshall's DNA.

He enjoys the visceral look and feel of the period’s pics and since Predator was one of the '80s iconic movies, it's an ideal subject for him to rework.

As he's said about Doomsday: “I was making homage to my favourite movies from the 8'0s and that whole feel of the movies in the '80s. They were very stunt-led, and very practically made. B-movies, basically.”
