In my opinion, the actor who played the main predator in Batman Dead End would be great to cast as one of the preds, as I thought he did quite a good job in BDE. Amdittedly he was no Kevin Peter Hall (but then again who is?) but he was still leaps & bounds ahead of Ian Whyte in AVP.
The news that the preds will be based more around the original designs is defenintly a relief, but they've gotta do more than just look the part. If the actors don't portray them right, & indeed, if the traditional sound effects aren't utilised, then I will be sorely pissed. Sound effects add quite a great deal to the authenticity, & it feels great to hear those classic sounds that ur so familiar with, it really gets u more into the movie.
Here's to hoping they also manage to pull it off with the aliens aswell, as in the last couple of movies they've been hailed as little more than extraterrestrial raptors (especially in AVP), so if they could bring back the traditional style of Alien & Aliens it would defenintly be a big plus to the movie.
