Another week, another interview. This time we’re bringing Ian Whyte to your screens! Most of you might remember Ian Whyte as the man behind the Predator’s mask for Alien vs Predator and has currently finished AvP2. I recently got the chance to interview him:
“AvPGalaxy – Were there many changes to the suit for the second film that might have made it easier for you to wear? I mean, the first suit did look rather bulky.
Ian Whyte – Absolutely! Apart from little design stylisations to make the character unique, the new costume is entirely reminiscent of the original; it was very tight fitting and was designed to make the Predator more svelte, lithe and athletic in appearance.”
Ian talks about his experiences on AvP1 and AvP2. Be sure to check out the entire interview.

This was a damn good interview. I really loved how this one turned out.
It's cool that Ian said that action-wise AvP2 doesn't compare to AvP1 ;D
Good job Galaxy! *thumbs up*
Bloody well is cool! Especially since AvP only had a couple of action scene. :P
Great Interview. Im glad to hear that the Predator suit will be more like the origional films instead of the AvP suit.
Indeed, its all good news.
I'm really starting to think this movie will blow AVP 1 out of the water! ;D

Ahem, who did the interview? :P
This note in the interview :The Predator in AVP2 is completely different again, is imo the evidence that there will be just one lone Predator. COOL!!!!!
The Interview is great and you guys RULE!!!!!!!!!
Notice how he talks about trying to portray the Predator with age and experience?

Indeed.....we might see a gay-Predator ;D (j/k)
Just think about it though! No teenage Predators! We've got a proper, skilled and old Predator.
My expectations for this movie are rising day by day. ;D
But I guess he will be straight as hell! ;)
Am I missing something? Which Predator was gay.
I was talking about the AvP2 predator.......
Bad joke...never mind.
*walks away ashamed*
lol i get it (The only one I think) But back to the predator.. Yea im glad we have a older hunter.. possibly a blooded
oh sorry hicks i missed that part my foult bro ;D ur the man 2 KEEP THEM COMING GUYS....
this pred sounds awesome
movie should rock!!
Ian is cool.
I also just want to mention here that there are two other actors who would make a good Predator, and may be even MORE mobile than Ian.
The most demobilizing part of a Predator costume is the muscle suit. Even a leaner looking Pred still needs relatively big muscles. Not like a modern Pro bodybuilder like Jay Cutler or Ronnie Coleman big who are so thich they can hardly move, but a Pred still needs to very muscular by human standards.
Any how, the two actors I had in mind are Conan Stevens (http://www.conanstevens.com) 7'and 330 pounds, and Nathan Jones 6'10" and 340 pounds.
If any one here has seen Jet Lee's Fearless, Nathan Jones is the Giant American Wrestler.
He was also seen in the beginning of the Movie Troy.
He looks very muscular, while still being lean enough to move at his height.
No need for a muscle suit, and the guys can still move freely.
I think 6'10" is about the minimum height to play a Pred. If not him Conan Steven would be Perfect for the role. Check out the recent pics of him on his site.

They guy is huge at 7 ft tall, but still not so muscular he looks like he is not functional.
I love Ian Whyte's dedication/modivation to the predator character even though he said it was hard and tough to do scenes, he hung in there and wasn't a pussy to do what the strause brothers asked. ;D This movie sounds freakin sweet!!!!!
one thing I liked about this interview is that Whyte openly says that AVP2 is better than AVP and that "we haven't seen anything yet"
:o I Love This Quote By IAN!!! And So Does A lot Of Other Members Here I See!!! ::)
( Quote From IAN WHYTE That Got ME SUPER-HYPED!!!)
"YOU HAVEN'T SEEN NOTHING YET!!!"
OH BOY!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!! ;)
WooHoo!! Great job Galaxy!! Nice interview! 8)
What would you do without me D? :P
How do you actually contact these people to conduct interviews? Do you just phone them up or something?
We have our secrets. :)
I can't give away the secrets of the trade.
Well, like an audience member watching a magician, I don't want to know how you do it. Just keep the magic and mystery alive. =P
great interview thanks
DARKNESS-HICKS YA ROCK WITH THEM INTERVIEWS ....
i think this movie is going to turn out exactly what the fans have been waiting so long for
I'll admit I was worried at first. Very worried but after having done an interview with Whyte and Morris I'm feeling very confident again.
FREKING AWESOME "I wanted to play him with supreme confidence, unmatched skill at arms, with the wizened, grizzled, experienced attitude of a veteran warrior." !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ASDKJASHDKJSDHkjlasdhfsdafkjlhasdfklhasdf h32lkjhasdfoiuhA(S)DhakjsdfhsasdfkljASDLK THANK GOD! this movie is going to be REDICULOUS!
Thanks for the interview. Great stuff. I'm feeling a little more eased about the movie now.
It's good to know a fan of Sci-Fi Horror is the man-behind-the-mask. He sounds humble and eager. Therefore, a much better performance. I enjoyed the acting of the Preds in the first AVP (although nowhere near comparison rights to the original Pred movies), but apparently I haven't seen anything yet.
i liked it when he said the suit was skin tight and more athletic.....thank god.. ;D nice interview :)
