Experience, but also he's got the body for it. Not too many actors around that are over 7".

I don't mind Whyte reprising the role, but I'm done with ADI...I'd love to see someone new handling it (with nice credentials)...whoever mentioned KNB deserves a cookie...

Cookie taken, I'd really love to see them try the Predator, them or Weta, or simply hand the contract to SWFX/Legacy FX.

Whoever will do, the new Predator design will be interesting, i think. But I hope it will not be bad, of course! (Damn, i want Winston's team back!  :'( )

...a cookie of pity, if you ask me. KNB does pretty shoddy work outside of gore effects.

What has KNB worked on? Anything popular?

They do a lot of work on gore/dead body effects, it seems like. I mean, they did work on Casino Royale but there wasn't much interesting to see there aside from some gunshot wounds. They took over the body suits and prosthetics in the Austin Powers movies on Goldmember, and most people seem to agree Fat Bastard looked far worse in that than he did in the previous one, so that doesn't really bode well.

They did creature effects on Wes Craven's Cursed but I never saw that one, so maybe I'm selling them short. The creature effects I saw them do most recently were on "Tremors: The Series" and that had such a low budget that it's probably not a fair thing to judge them by.

Oh wait, they did the practical creatures in Evolution. Those looked pretty good, I guess, although there weren't many to see. Mostly that was CGI.

Okay, here's a list: http://www.imdb.com/company/co0015640/

I don't follow...the Predator is a combination of prosthetic effects, animatronics, and good acting...KNB did the creature design for the first Narnia flick and The Mist (while not really fresh creations, neither is the Predator at this point)...they did decent animatronics work on Transformers, which even though I personally dislike the film - special and practical effects were not high on the list of cons for that film...plug in Whyte and we have a 50/50 chance of receiving something nice looking and nice moving...

And with regards to gore and mutilated dead body effects, I would imagine that in a Predator film we would need a healthy dose of both...
