“I have learned that Cinematographer Larry Fong has been hired as cinematographer for Shane Black‘s The Predator. This is great news for the upcoming reboot/sequel to the iconic 1987 sci-fi film Predator.”
Most recently Larry Fong served as cinematographer on Kong: Skull Island. You can get a taste of Larry Fong’s work in the recently released trailer for the creature heavy film that is currently slated for release March, 2017.

I'm pleased with the news. In terms of visuals, I'm loved a lot of what he has done before. Watchman is also probably one of my favourite films.

Watchmen is a classic in my book. It's the sole reason I give Snyder a bit of slack. I'm waiting for him to repeat that triumph.

How about the Dawn of the Dead remake from 2004??
This. Say what you want about the quality of those films, but they were gorgeous looking. I expect The Predator to be the same.

Super 8 had a full CGI monster
full CGI Predator confirmed
I'm quite surprised by the kind of visual style chosen for the movie.We'll have to wait for the trailer to find out if it was a good call.
Yep, this appointment sends a message to the fans. I'm confident Black can write an entertaining script and Fong is a big time picture painter. Pretty great duo.

For me, easily the best news so far casting wise, and the guy is certainly not on the cheap side.
Because Larry's involvement means we'll get fully CGI Predators?

It might indicate that Shane is serious about making this an "event" film. Looking at Fong's recent work (which has fantastic visuals), it's evident that he's no stranger to big blockbusters.
Also just good to see the film gaining more traction.
