Alien vs. Predator 2 – Survival of the Fittest“ kommt am 27. Dezember in die deutschen Kinos.
Ein Ausschnitt von Alien Experience: [..]AXP: How was it to work with Andrew Neskoromny again?
AL: The last time I worked with Andrew was in 2001 on The Core. That was a rather challenging and weird show on many levels. Nine eleven had just happened. We were about three months behind from day one because they had replaced the Director and Production Designer mid-way during our prep and all the designs went through a total revision. Andrew was under extreme pressure as the Supervising Art Director to deliver many large and complex sets in a very short time. So in short, he worked the art department pretty hard. On AVP 2 he was more at home because I think he prefers working as a production designer. So I enjoyed working with him on AVP 2 better where we had more time to develop designs and we weren't working 72 hours a week like on The Core! Both Andrew and I love sci-fi so it was fun to have an opportunity to work on predator spacecraft and alien hideaways together.
AXP: Neither of you are strangers to science fiction and horror; what from your experience have you brought to the sets of AVP 2?
AL: I worked mainly on the sewer set and the predator spacecraft. Andrew drew from his experience in designing Dawn of the Dead to create the creepiness of the sewer set. We wanted to keep the sewer relatively small so that the aliens and predators would look very menacing and horrifyingly huge in the set. In fact, when the predator is standing in full costume, he is over 8 feet tall!!!
When we seen him wading through the sewer water hunting down the rogue aliens, he definitely looks VERY, VERY scary!!! For the spacecraft I built a physical model. Our very talented illustrator Rob Jensen had established the look that we wanted. We did not have a big budget for this set so we tried to put a lot of the money in the beautiful sculpted predator architecture of the ship and we used lots and lots of aluminum extrusions and pipes to fill in the rest of the set. In some ways, the detailing on the set is similar to what I did on the Virgil "earthship" on The Core. But we were careful to keep the design non-human like as well. I got a lot of inspiration from the creature and prop design work coming out of Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. We wanted to make the predator spacecraft organic and beautiful, but also very rugged and macho. [..]
