Nimrod Antal Working on a Dystopian Thriller Titled Paraffin« FirstShowing.net

I metPredatorsdirectorNimród Antalyesterday and he's a pretty cool guy (I'm working on an interview). His filmography prior toPredatorsincludes a movie calledKontrollas well asVacancyandArmored.The Playlistrecently talked with Antal and learned that he's got another one-word title project in the works that may be next for him, dependent on how wellPredatorsdoes. It's titledParaffinand is a dystopian thriller."I have a passion project that I've been writing for a few years calledParaffin. I'm going to try to get that going… It's actually the one I wanted to write and direct right afterKontroll. So that's what I'm doing next."

Antal wouldn't reveal much, but did give this hint."I can give you a teaser: men and women will build a boat out of plastic bottles in Cuba to escape oppression, right? So imagine if our world has become that {kind of} oppression. You aren't building plastic bottle boats anymore, you have to build something else toget out of here."The irst thought that comes to mind - some people are going to try and build a homemade rocket and escape from Earth (but I don't know if this is sci-fi). Thinking a bit further about it,paraffinis a kind ofwaxmade of alkane hydrocarbons, which is in line with what he said aboutsomethingbeing built (out of wax?) in the film. However, I don't think they can make a spaceship out of wax, and that was just pure speculation.

Nothing else is known about the project and it's not even listed on IMDb, so we'll have to keep our eyes open for anything we hear about it. For now, I'm anxious forPredatorsto hit theaters to see what everyone thinks of it and what happens to Antal's career after. I didn't likeArmored, but Antal is a damn good director with great visuals and I'm looking forward to seeing his career continue on, potentially with this dystopian movie.
