thats a great idea, like a memorial thing.

It would have ment the world to me to find out what he thought of the hunters lair and how we honored him and his creation(s).

Didn't Sandy work with him before? I wonder if they ever talked about people dressing up in costumes that mimic the original artistic designs Stan helped create.

 

[Astritos]

I havent felt this bad since Steve Irwin died not a great feeling indeed R.I.P and thank you for all the great things you have gave to us.

 

[BOUNTY HAUNTER]

Stan Winston will never die.

Art is eternal, and Stan's legacy will live forever.
He has taken his rightful place among immortal legends like Harryhausen.

We are all blessed to have been witness to his life's work.

We are eternally grateful for what you've shared with us, Stan.

You will never be forgotten.​

It's such a shame when a man like Stan is taken from the world........He can never be replaced.

-There was some speculation earlier in this thread about whether or not this was false news, well Marvel has posted there condolences to Stan Winston here: Marvel Mourns Stan Winston

RIP!!

Cant believe im never gonna get meet him!

Sad times!

You will, live a good life. I'm sure he's having a great time in heaven, unlimited time and materials to create new things. He's probably chatting with Lon Chaney.

 

[hunters prey]

just htink.... some day, the entire population of the lair will get to sit with him and pick his brain about every creation he built.........

For those of us that have not met him, never say "I'll never get to," for we will.... some day.

 

[Hish]

He has given me and hundreds of thousands a lifetime of pleasure thanks to his skill and imagination.
The word legend is banded about too readily but Stan Winston was the real deal, a legend of the movie industry.

Hey guys... sorry for the delay... I managed to get a little tribute up on Predatorstuff.com but didn't get a chance to post something on the forum until today. You will notice there is now a tribute banner at the top of the site in honor of Stan. I would also like to invite anyone that would like to create a banner of their own to feel free to send it to me and I will rotate them once a week in the same spot as mine. That way we can all take turns creating a little tribute to the man we all admired so much. The banner size must be 286 pixels wide by 189 pixels tall.

Again, God bless you Stan and rest in peace... I still can't believe this has happened.

 

[Usurper]

Nice call, maybe we should eventually have a permanent tribute banner.

 

[Davros1]

God bless! your visions and work have inspired us all! you'll be greatly missed and never forgotten. the world will be a bleaker place without you!
