My money's on it being ruined no matter who directs, by over excessive use of CGI. It was a film of the time, and all of us who loved those classic films are being set up for a fall.

For anyone wanting to hear it in his own words
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the word from the man himself about the newly announced PREDATORS. Harry reached out to Robert Rodriguez when the news broke and sent some questions. Below you'll find how this started, get an idea of what...
First interview

Robert Rodriguez: Way back before I did Desperado, I had taken a writing assignment for a sequel to Predator. With a nod toward Cameron's ALIENS I decided to call it PREDATORS. I set it on a jungle-like Predator planet. It was just a writing assignment, so I didn't have to worry about budget constraints or how the movie would actually get made with the technology that existed back then, so I just wrote any cool thing I could come up with.
I've built up an amazing team over the years at Troublemaker, and they're all huge PREDATOR fans. (I know this because Predator model kits litter our offices and workstations.)
That’s the same line Paul Anderson used before making Aliens vs. Predator.

Wow. Can't wait.

Yes but Paul Anderson is a knob

People have been bitten one too many times. Given the track record of attempts to rejuvinate franchises, though there are definitely some notable exceptions, it's reasonable for people to be more skeptical about this than hyped.
And, of course, it can be often far more rewarding to expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised than to expect good things and be disappointed. I know no matter what negative things I may say about this, I'll always be hoping to look like a complete ass if a great movie is delivered.
