This video clip will make you believe that the Martians invaded during WWI. It is that good. Of course we all know that that never happened. Last year the History channel aired a mockumentary about the “Great Martian War” of 1913-1917. The videos of the battles are the best part, which places War of the Worlds type aliens in real footage from World War I.
Directed by Christian Johnson and Steve Maher. This is a fun take on alternate history.
Nick Stember has translated a 142 page Chinese comic book adaptation of Star Wars that was originally published in Guangdong, China, in the 1980s. It’s crazy stuff. It’s best just to take a look for yourself. It seems to have been made without viewing Return of the Jedi, since there are elements of the other movies and none from Jedi.
Below are just some of the panels. You can hit up Nick’s website for the rest. This is a strange rabbit hole to fall into, but you can easily lose a lot of time looking through all of the images and translations.
This stunning VFX breakdown from Digital Domain, who worked on X-Men: Days of Future Past is a must watch. A lot of hard work goes into turning Jennifer Lawrence into Mystique. Sometimes it takes a whole other actor. The video shows the models and effects used for the scenes and much more.
It is amazing just how much work it takes to take the two actors and transform the scene. Oh and all of those amazing details at RFK stadium? That took a lot of work too and it looked great. Also check out Quicksilver’s VFX video. Great stuff. They are both very fascinating to watch.
With Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice still being a year and a half away from theaters, we need a Batman fix now more than ever. Well, feast your eyes on these behind the scenes images from Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy.
Luckily for us these movies were very well documented, so we get to take a look at what went on behind the camera. Nolan really nailed Batman and even if I didn’t care for much of The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan really understood Batman in a way that other filmmakers have not.
Steven Klock created these cool Star Wars/NFL mashups. All 32 teams are represented. Check out his site to see all of them.
These designs work really well. I can easily buy that these are NFL teams in a galaxy far, far away. Great stuff Steven. Not enough use of Ewoks in my opinion, but awesome stuff anyway.
Costumesupercenter created this cool Star Trek infographic that shows the Star Trek uniforms throughout the various TV series and movies. They forgot the Man-Skirt or Skant from The Next Generation premiere Encounter At Farpoint.
It is a handy infographic for those who can’t decide on a Halloween or comic-con costume. I think my favorites have always been the 1960’s uniforms and Kirk and crew’s movie uniforms. The Next Generation uniforms are cool too, if you don’t mind doing the Picard Maneuver.
This is Cosplay Butterfly looking stunning as the Phoenix Five version of Emma Frost from X-Men. She really nails it. This shoot was photographed by Andreas Schneider. Those eyes! That costume! She really brings the character to life!
The 1980 Flash Gordon movie was something else. Something crazy and special. You really had to be there and see it during that time. It had all kinds of weird visuals and it was all varying levels of over-the-top fun. Plus, a Queen soundtrack. You can never go wrong with a Queen soundtrack.
Designer Chris Foss created designs for the Hawkmen’s rocket sled that Flash rides, which weren’t used in the film. These are some really trippy designs. Most of them seem way better than what was used on screen.
Dino De Laurentiis called me when Flash Gordon was almost ready to go into production and asked me to come and see them in the studios because he wanted new versions of some of the designs that had already been done, which he obviously didn’t like. And, specifically, he wanted me to redesign the ‘Space Scooter.’
I saw Dino De Laurentiis, he gave me a verbal brief. I was then taken down to the department that was physically building the stuff and we discussed what this thing was supposed to do in the film. And I then went away and, over a long holiday, produced the designs for it.
DugMcUglyArt made these super cool matchbook paintings with some of our favorite geek pop culture characters. Below are just some of his miniature masterpieces. The art is fantastic, but the artist also manages to inject some humor into these paintings.
One of my favorites is “The Hound” with the matches appropriately burned. Another is Jack Nicholson’s joker from Tim Burton’s Batman movie. I would love to display all of these together. Awesome work.
