I love the style of these reimagined Star Trek movie posters. They are the creation of illustrator Matt Ferguson. Matt reimagined the movie posters for all of the original movies and the latest reboot movie Star Trek Into Darkness.
They have a great retro vibe and some nice choice of colors. Each captures the spirit of the movie it goes with. I really applaud his choice of using the campfire scene for Star Trek V. Nice touch.

Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada based artist, Brock Hofer “doesn’t usually get to draw Star Wars characters”, but when he got a commission to make an organic Boba Fett, this was the result. Insane! I thought Boba Fett was a hardcore bounty hunter before. Now there will be no stopping him.
He is absolutely terrifying! And awesome. Now there is no doubt as to who the baddest and most dangerous bounty hunter in the galaxy is. I blame the Sarlacc pit. Clearly it mutated him.
This is such an awesome idea for a fan film. Predator: Dark Ages is exactly what it sounds like. Predator hunting people down in medieval times. Something about that sentence makes me very happy. Probably because I love a good Predator movie. The film was written and directed by James Bushe.
Set during the Crusades, the faith & fighting skills of a group of Templar Knights is put to the test when they encounter the Predator. Their battle is the thing Myths and Legends are born from.
The trailer does what it is supposed to do. It leaves you wanting more. I can’t wait to see the final film. The full version will be released in a few short weeks. Keep an eye peeled for this one.
These photographs were taken on the set of the 1968 film Planet of the Apes. It’s really bizarre to see these simians just relaxing in full ape makeup between shooting scenes. These 1967 behind the scenes pictures were shot in California and show the apes smoking, eating, drinking, relaxing in the shade and doing other very human things.
It’s kind of amazing that they could do anything in those masks when not filming. They don’t even seem to mind all that much. Of course this film had a score of big name actors who were all professionals.

Ben Hardy has officially been cast as Angel in X-Men: Apocalypse. We also have some new concept art of the character. These two pieces of concept art show the back of the character with wings and without wings.
What do you think? I think they look pretty neat. Deadly, yet graceful. Needs more purple though. I think we can expect some good things from this character.
Check out this set of Doctor Who fan art drawn on Starbucks coffee cup sleeves. These fun drawings were created by artist Kahahuna and each features one of the 12 Doctors. Not the War Doctor though. He’s always getting left out. These drawings are fun. The BBC should totally team up with Starbucks to offer these for real
The sleeves are being sold in sets of 4 at the artist’s Etsy shop. Coffee just tastes better with a cool image of the Doctor.
We all felt like we got a punch in the gut when we heard about Leonard Nimoy’s death. Well, Andrea Nyilas decided to honor the late actor by making this wooden table. Nyilas is very skilled in marquetry, which is the art of using wood inlay in surfaces to create images and patterns. That’s what we have here.
For his Spock piece Nyilas used walnut, maple, ash, chestnut, and root. You can check out the process here. This piece is masterfully done. You can see the love that was put into it. This is amazing work. I love the depth that is created in this process.

We’ve all heard plenty of behind the scenes stories about Raiders of the Lost Ark, but you don’t hear many stories about Temple of Doom. I’m not sure why that is, but it’s true. They just never seem to talk about it. Anyway, here is one from Academy Originals. It’s a web series from the organization behind the Oscars that “examines everything from the creative process, to the moments that changed the course of filmmaking, to the artists who are charting its future.” I love that they tell the story using animation.
Special Effects Supervisor George Gibbs tells a story about the bridge sequence in the film. Indiana Jones fans will be interested in this one. But aren’t we all Indy fans?

I wasn’t very sure about Defiance at first, but it’s actually a decent Sci-Fi show despite coming from Sy-Fy. So when I saw this awesome Irathient cosplay it made me smile. Alice The Insane looks pretty stunning, not to mention dangerous as an Irathient. She looks like she is a cast member of the show.
She’s so good it’s scary. The photography is by Nick Doulgeris. If the series ever needs an extra alien, they should call her for sure and give her a speaking part.
This news is what many fans have been waiting for. A few days ago, Lucasfilm announced that they will be releasing the entire Star Wars saga on digital HD with some brand new bonus features. These special features focus on interviews with people involved with the making of the movies and the more typical behind-the-scenes features.
Here are two new clips. A conversation with set decorator Roger Christian and effects technician (now director) Joe Johnston about the making of the Millennium Falcon. Then we have one focusing on the color of Han’s Hoth jacket. I had no idea there was even a controversy regarding the color of his jacket. I think they might be having a bit of fun with that one.
