QuoteTowards the end of the talk, one of the developers in the audience posed a problem to Stan: How do you create a strong character when you don't have much, if any, story? Winston conceded that this was a very difficult problem, but it was one that he also had faced in the film industry. When Winston was brought on board the Predator movie, it had already been shot. The monster they had wasn't working, so they needed Winston to build a replacement. In the movie, the Predator's character is never really discussed, but he's the title character, so he still had to be very compelling. Winston started by looking for existing images that told the kind of story he wanted to tell about the Predator, and eventually wound up basing the designs off a statue of a Rastafarian warrior, and working outward from there.
