Title: Stan Winston
Post by: DraconianOne on June 16, 2008, 01:26:48 PM
Stan Winston has died. (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20206968,00.html)

This man is responsible for shaping so many of the iconic movie creatures of the last 30 years that he is as much as a legend as Ray Harryhausen.

RIP.

I didn't know him by name, I bet a lot didn't but jesus, looking at that list of creations is like looking at every memorable movie of my childhood. Great talent and I hope god commisions him to help build.

This hurts.

Last I heard, he was also working on the new Wolfman movie with Benicio del Toro. I had no idea he was working on Cameron's Avatar. Man, pretty much every movie I loved as a kid was marked by Winston somehow.
