Trailer for Luc Besson’s Valerian

valerian-featured
I have to say that this trailer for Luc Besson’s Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets looks completely insane. In a good way. It looks like it has everything that the Fifth Element offered and loads more. It is based on a French comic book series written by Pierre Christin with art by Jean-Claude Mézières. This movie just looks amazing. I’m going to have to pick up those comics now and check them out. I can’t wait to see this one.

Lost Original Ghostbusters Concept Art

Lost Original Ghostbusters Concept Art
Did you know that the ending of the original Ghostbusters movie was originally going to be much bigger? The ending we got was pretty cool, but the one they had planned may have been epic. We will never know. You can get a sneak peek at what might have been for yourself. This video focuses on legendary artist Bernie Wrightson. He did a ton of concept art for Ghostbusters, including scenes that would have had the Ghostbusters going through the gates of hell. How amazing would that have been? Wrightson talks about this scene and more in the clip below, which is very fascinating. Fans of the movie will want to check it out.

The USS Jefferies Project

The USS Jefferies Project
What if the first interstellar spacecraft to be built just happens to be commissioned by the US Navy? And what if its design is inspired by a science-fiction TV show from the sixties? What would that look like? Something like this. And it is amazing. This is one of the most beautiful interpretations of a Constitution class I have ever seen. Much better than the silly ships in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek movies. To all of the future designers, directors and artists out there, this is how you do it!

Predator Jungle Hunter Maquette by Sideshow Collectibles

predator-jungle-hunter-maquette-by-sideshow-collectibles
The predator has never looked so fearsome as it does in this Predator Jungle Hunter Maquette by Sideshow Collectibles. Arnold was right, he is one ugly mother. This is an amazing portrayal of this iconic character, that stands an imposing 27.5” and he is wearing his traditional armor which is a combination of polyresin and fabric elements. He comes with an alternate left hand which holds a skull and spinal cord trophy.Nice!
