Fantasy Concept Art For Logan’s Run

Fantasy Concept Art For Logan's Run
Artist Ben Murphy from Cork, Ireland says that this is the first of three mini-projects that is part of his 4th Year Project. The idea is to create the concept art for “Logan’s Run” as if it was being rebooted for this generation of moviegoers. From what I can see on his page, he did an amazing job. Below is just a sample of some of the work that he did.

I really like the costuming of the main characters, the vehicles and the guns. He has a pretty cool vision for what this world would be. I’d love to see his vision in movie form. Even in animation.

Fantastic Four Concept Designs Reveal HERBIE The Robot

Fantastic Four Concept Designs Reveals HERBIE The Robot
If you were disappointed with Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four movie, you were far from alone. One thing that we didn’t see in the movie was HERBIE the robot. Apparently the robot was to be in the movie at one point. Not that this would have helped any.

HERBIE stands for Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-type, Integrated Electronics. Thanks to concept artist Fausto De Martini we have some concept designs showing us what we missed out on. He is literally a robot sitting on a soccer ball. He also has LEGO parts. I’m guessing it was to be built by Reed Richards as a kid in the film. Or maybe as an adult. I mean most of us never grow out of LEGO. It’s kind of cool, but it also feels like something is off about it.

Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper Statue Now Available

Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper Statue Now Available
At last we can pre-order the Ralph McQuarrie Stormtrooper Statue. Without Ralph McQuarrie’s conceptual drawings and paintings, Star Wars would have been a completely different experience. His vision helped to shape the world that George Lucas had created. This awesome Stormtrooper was inspired by Ralph McQuarrie’s pre-production artwork for Star Wars: A New Hope.

This 1:5th scale soldier of the Empire looks amazing. He has several display options: carrying a shield in one hand while wielding a lightsaber or blaster in the other, and he also has distinctive helmets and armor that more closely resembled fighter pilot gear than the final costumes seen in the film. McQuarrie’s Stormtrooper design comes to life at last in statue form.

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.

Concept Art From Steven Spielberg’s Robopocalypse

Concept Art From Steven Spielberg's Robopocalypse
It’s been awhile since Steven Spielberg has made a sci-fi action film, but we are always game to watch what he throws our way. In 2013, he postponed work on his adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s best-selling novel Robopocalypse. But we can now have a look at what might have been. This is some intriguing stuff.

He was working on the film for several years. Chris Hemsworth, Anne Hathaway and Ben Whishaw were even cast. But t some point it was announced that the script needed a lot more work. Plus it was apparently “too expensive to produce.” Who knows if we will ever see it finished, but here are a few images by artist Patrick Janicke.

This Presentation Reel Shows What John Carter Could Have Been


One thing we should all take away from Disney’s recent attempt at John Carter is that it is really hard to make the Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom novels on film. In 2012, Andrew Stanton’s adaptation bombed at the box office. Now, a Presentation Reel of another adaptation has surfaced, and we get to see what might have been.

This reel was put together by director Kerry Conran and it shows off some amazing visuals from concept art that was created for the adaptation. There is also some action and fight scenes. There are many similarities, but it has more of a pulp feel for sure. It sure looks like a better and more sweeping adaptation. Sadly, we will likely never see it fully realized on screen, which is a real shame.

Terminator: Genisys Concept Art

Terminator Genisys Concept Art
We know a fair bit about Terminator: Genisys’ plot already. The movie releases in just a few days. It looks like John Connor sends Kyle Reese back in time to save his mother Sarah from the Terminators before he is born. But this time around, when Kyle arrives in 1984, Sarah is already waiting for him. And she has brought her own Terminator.

I bet he didn’t expect that. Those scenes have been shown in all of the trailers, but the trailers haven’t shown us much about the future in this movie. This concept art from the upcoming book Terminator Genisys: Resetting the Future by David S. Cohen helps to shed some light on the darker grittier future in this movie. Not to mention all of the other concept art that we can’t see yet.
