The great people at Moviehole got a chance to talk to Howard Berger of effects shop KNB about the upcoming produced Robert Rodriguez movie Predators, also directed by Nimrod Antal.
From the interview:
"I just saw some photos today and they look absolutely fantastic!," said Berger, who got his start working with Stan Winston on films like Predator and Aliens.
Berger also added that they are now in pre-production and that they "wanted to have the Predator look as it did in the original film. We went back and looked at the original. I actually worked in the shop with Stan Winston on the first film. It was great to be able to go back to the series having not been involved in any of the sequels, and it was also great to be able to make sure we built them as Stan Winston did.
"They look really fantastic. There's a whole bunch of cool [Predators] in the film, and everyone's going to be very happy that we've been very faithful to the Stan Winston designs... It's shooting very soon."
LEEE777 - Well i remember when FOX was talking a Predator remake i said they should be doing a homeworld film, glad they thought along the same lines thank god. Berger, who won an Oscar for his work on the first “Chronicles of Narnia” film (and whose latest film, “Surrogates”, opens this week), so this new Predator sounds more promising everytime we get more and more info.
Predators is released on July 7th 2010 and i cant [frick]ing wait! ; )
