• Predators May Have Found a Director

  Predators, the sequel conceived and produced by Robert Rodriguez, may have found a director in Nimrod Antal and not Neil Marshall, as was previously rumored. Antal is a young director, whose credits include the ho-hum thriller Vacancy and the upcoming heist drama Armored, starring Laurence Fishburne and Matt Dillon that opens December 4.

  Predators will be based on a Rodriguez treatment written 15 years ago. It's set on a "jungle-like Predator planet" and may include a cameo from Predator star Arnold Schwarzenegger. Alex Litvak is writing the script.

• Check out 14 pics from Doomsday

  The zombie flick genre is enjoying a nice renaissance these days, thanks in part to the hot-chicks-versus-viruses subgenre birthed by Milla Jovovich and the Resident Evil franchise.

  In Doomsday, the latest effort from Descent director Neil Marshall, a vicious plague known as "The Reaper Virus" threatens the whole of Great Britain. The hot chick tasked with battling it is Rhona Mitra, last seen in Mark Wahlberg's sniper thriller Shooter.

  Head over to our Doomsday page and click on the "Photos" tab to catch a glimpse of Rhona in action.

• First Look: Doomsday

  Neil Marshall's claustrophobic horror flick The Descent, about a group of hot chick spelunkers hunted by bloodthirsty cave-dwelling monsters, turned out to be the best-reviewed genre movie of 2006. Among other accolades, the UK-based writer/director drew acclaim for bucking a recent trend in genre films by making a horror flick that was actually scary. Imagine that.

  Marshall's highly anticipated follow-up, Doomsday, about a group of hot chicks battling a killer virus, is currently in production, with a release date set for sometime next year.

  Rogue Pictures recently unveiled an image from Doomsday, featuring a pair of scantily-clad women doing battle in some sort of hellish, virus-ravaged urban landscape. If this image is any indication of what we have to look forward to in the event of an actual killer virus epidemic, I say bring on Ebola!
