Neill Blomkamp Was Working on an Alien Movie

Neill Blomkamp working on an Alien movie? I like that idea. Can you even imagine what such a movie would look like? Well, just check out these images. The other day he posted some concept art from an Alien project that he was working on.

Apparently he was not working on this for the studio officially, but just for kicks. Now I just want to see this movie come to life. It would have been a wild ride, that’s for sure. Excuse me while I stare at these images for a few hours and dream of what could have been.

Raiders Of The Lost Ark Concept Art

Joe Johnston was a concept artist and character designer for Lucasfilm. He is responsible for the design of Boba Fett and many other cool things that we love. Guess what else? The Ark of the Covenant too. Here is some concept art from him from Steven Spielberg’s 1981 classic The Raiders of the Lost Ark.

It is pretty stunning. The version we saw in the film was really something, but this one just seems more biblical and alien to me. Can you imagine it all in gold and shining in the desert sun?

The Evolution of the Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver

If you are a fan of the Doctor’s sonic screwdriver, you can get this print by David Wildish from Society 6. It shows the Doctor’s favorite gadget in the order they were used in the show.

I think the main thing to learn from this cool print is that over time the sonic has become more complicated in design and if you go by the show, it also does more these days and is certainly used more often. Good old Peter Davison used it maybe once before his got fried, because he didn’t want his Doctor to overuse it.

This Stop-Motion Animated Short Features a Marshmallow Ghostbuster

Ghostbusters was a pretty groundbreaking movie, considering the fact that it was a comedy. Years later we still can’t get enough of it. I don’t hold out much hope that the new rebooted movie will be anywhere nearly as good as the original, but that’s okay, because we have cool movies like this stop-motion animation from Bodega Studios.

It features only a single Ghostbuster. Venkman. Uh, make that Venkmallow. Slimer also makes an appearance and you’ll never guess who is playing him. This short is awesome, but the problem is, now that I’ve seen it, I want more. When can I see more marshmallow adventures?

Below are several pieces of art that were submitted for the first phase of the tribute project. This is some fantastic art from one of our favorite groundbreaking movies.

Doctor Who Series 8 Concept Art Is Dark And Creepy

Even though Doctor Who is technically a kid’s show,(I know. I don’t buy it either) they often try to push the envelope when dealing with scary imagery and terrifying concepts. It can be a hard balancing act, scaring viewers, while not scaring them away. Series 8 had mummies, cyborg zombies and other scary stuff. Just realize that what we saw on screen could have been so much more terrifying.

This concept art from Millennium FX comes from the Radio Times and it shows us just how much scarier season 8 could have been. If kids do indeed hide behind the sofa while watching Doctor Who, some of this stuff may have had them hiding behind locked doors.

LEGO Superheroes Relaxing At Home

Even superheroes need to kick back and relax sometimes. LEGO superheroes prefer to rest on LEGO couches of course. And here is a whole set of both.

These clever and imaginative LEGO figures by Angus MacLane give us a look at what superheroes and other pop culture figures do when they have some down time. Turns out they are just like us. Well, I don’t know about that guy who was stabbed in the chest though.
