Fantastic Four Concept Art

Whether you enjoyed Josh Trank’s FF4 movie or not, you’ll like this. Concept artist Steve Jung has released some concept art that he made for the much talked about and maligned Fantastic Four film.

What is interesting here is that they feature a different-looking Planet Zero and also show off Doctor Doom’s castle. This art was created in 2013, and you can see from these images that at that time, that things changed a lot. I’m really enjoying what I’m seeing here. We can only imagine what kind of movie we would have gotten if their plans hadn’t changed so much.

This Year’s Star Trek Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments

Star Trek fans love to collect the new Hallmark ornaments every year and now Hallmark has updated their website with listings for the three Star Trek Keepsake ornaments for this year. The starship this year is the USS Enterprise-C. It is just under five inches long, and has a battery powered light-up feature.

Next up is Spock’s death scene from Wrath of Khan and rounding things out we have Lieutenant Nyota Uhura. I know I’ll be adding these to my collection. It’s a tradition in my family.

Celebration Anaheim: Vader Case Project

At Celebration IV in 2007, the original Vader Project had artists decorate and alter full sized Darth Vader helmet replicas. You’ve seen them around and probably marveled at how creative people can get with Darth Vader’s head. Artists turned Vader into a clown, the Statue of Liberty and much more. You can check them out at thevaderproject.com. It’s awesome stuff.

Well, now the Celebration Track has invited artists and collectors to decorate vintage Darth Vader action figure carrying cases. These cases will be shown throughout Celebration Anaheim in the Collector’s Track Social Room. They look amazing. I want to paint my old case now. See some of them below. For more info head here.

What Back To The Future II Got Right And Wrong About 2015

Well, it’s 2015 so let’s see what Back To The Future 2 got right about the once future year that we are living in. Luckily for us, the folks at Stay Sourced have created this awesome infographic so that we can see how well the movie predicted the world as it is today.

I know one thing. We still don’t have any time traveling cars and the flux capacitor hasn’t been invented yet. Wait. Maybe that means the timeline has been changed! And Doc Brown never hit his head on the toilet! Great Scott!

Unused Back To The Future 2 Concept Art

Here we are in 2015 so it is definitely a good time to take a look at the 2015 glimpsed in Back to the Future II. It could have been even weirder. Some vintage concept art from the production has surfaced and these pieces show many designs that didn’t make the cut.

Tim Flattery, a veteran concept artist who helped create this then-future world, talked with Newsweek about the experience.

They certainly came up with a lot of wacky ideas. Had they left all of this in it probably would have been overwhelming. But it is awesome to get to see this stuff.
