I really dont understand the RR vs SW debate thing going on... You people do realize the Greg Nicotaro and Howard Berger from KNB were both part of the SWS crew that worked on P1? you do realize the Stan did not come up with the classic Pred concept, Robert Short did ..he was hired as a conceptual artist for the film when the the Jean Claude VanDame insectoid pred was failing in tests. How about that the script was written by John and Jim Thomas and was directed by John McTiernen. I never hear their names mentioned. Rodriguez is PRODUCING this film ..he will choose his effects team ..he has used KNB for most of his films and feels comfortable with them ..and well he should. The are very close to this franchise..many others in their shop have worked on the other Pred movies as well ... yes even the ADI ones) We are a pretty tight knit community in the effects game ..artists all know each other fairly well because they often float between shops.
Still dont get all the commotion, but I feel that there is a bit a misinformation floating about ..and that sometimes effect lore gets a bit bastardized.
Awesome post.
